So "Edge of Tomorrow" didn't even get nominated for anything at all in the Oscars? WTH? I can understand it not winning, being a scifi flick and all. But it was one of the best films of 2014,IMHO. Surely it could have been nominated for special effects or one of the other 50 categories.

BEST: Lady Gaga in custom Azzedine Alaia

===========================================================

So Gwynth is worst dressed and Lady Gaga is best dressed? WTH? I think the whole best/worst dressed thing has nothing to do with what looks good. It has everything to do with creating controversy and attracting clicks.

Rat Paradise Turned Malthusian nightmare

by Esther Inglis-Arkell; Filed to: PSYCHOLOGY; Today 7:30am

In 1972, animal behaviorist John Calhoun built a rat paradise with beautiful buildings and limitless food. He introduced eight mice to the population. Two years later, the mice had created their own apocalypse. Here's why.

Universe 25 was a giant box designed to be a rodent utopia. The trouble was, this utopia did not have a benevolent creator. John B. Calhoun had designed quite a few mouse environments before he got to the 25th one, and didn't expect to be watching a happy story. Divided into "main squares" and then subdivided into levels, with ramps going up to "apartments," the place looked great, and was always kept stocked with food, but its inhabitants were doomed from the get-go.

Universe 25 started out with eight mice, four males and four females. By day 560, the mouse population reached 2,200, and then steadily declined back down to unrecoverable extinction.

So, being one of the "beautiful ones" has its benefits. LOL

Kill the Wireless Contract! Buy Your Own Phone
It’s now surprisingly easy to live a fruitful mobile life without a carrier contract

<snip>

It’s now surprisingly easy to live a fruitful mobile life, free of carrier contracts, thanks to unlocked phones. With one, you aren’t bound to a carrier. You could switch from, say, AT&T to T-Mobile or Cricket Wireless, or even to Vodafone when you take that vacation to the Greek Isles. It’s actually how most of the world buys mobile phones.

The bad news: To get that freedom, it means paying more upfront. (That $199 iPhone? It really costs $650!) But many great phones are becoming more affordable. And the benefits far outweigh that initial sticker shock. You’ll have your pick of carriers, you’ll be able to leave whenever you like and you can save some real money in the long run.

This sounds interesting. The Verizon service in my town sucks so bad it might be worth looking into.
