Breakfast Links: Papabubble, Predict the Future & Humans
Papabubble comes to NYC! No, it has nothing to do with that. It’s apparently a super fancy candy store that makes it’s candy on premises. I guess it’s kinda like Dylan’s Candy Bar, but way, way, waaay more expensive. Gothamist gives the scoop. I wanna try some.
You know what else I love besides candy? Quizzes. What else, you ask? The future. Fortunately, Forbes comes through with their Predict the Future quiz. It’s a pretty funny idea, they give you a quiz where you predict how things will be at the end of 2008 and then in January 2009 they will send you your results in the e-mails. Sweet!
Speaking of the future, ok not the future. The past. Schneier says that humans didn’t evolve to handle security in the modern IT world. He got that right, since we all know that human’s didn’t evolve at all and we were riding around on dinosaurs a few thousand years ago. He also gets it wrong when he says “In the technology industry we like to think we’re computers, but we’re not even close.” I am a computer, just not a turing complete one. Huh, unlike Bruce to be wrong so much. Must be opposite day.

Ever have candy that was just made? It taste just like candy that was made 10 years ago. I’m going to CVS for my Chunky.
I hate that groups of morons hijacked the term Intelligent Design. My theory of the universe would be titled the same thing, but I am neither faith based or insane. Anyway, We didn’t evolve to handle security in a high tech world? Really? You mean to tell me we did not grow and morph for hundreds of thousands of years to build security cameras? Say it isn’t so! Well, I don’t know about you, but apparently evolving in the first place is not amazing enough. The fact that we fought bacteria, climate change, environmental change, predators, natural disasters and most of all ourselves is, i guess, not NEARLY as impressive had we done all that to be able to handle security in the IT world. I’m killing myself.
