"Susceptibility to autism may be the price we pay for being human." As someone who is elsewhere on the spectrum, I find that self-evident.

I'm beginning to think that Facebook is going to become the new AOL - it will sell for a fortune at it's initial stock offering, use that money to buy a different company and then over time become itself irrelevant as it is replaced by other outlets that people move onto.

Either that or it will become Skynet.

There's some interesting stuff in that interview with the "external auditor". What it glosses over though is that the "external auditor" in question is still a trainee chartered accountant. He/she is what we more grown up auditors would refer to as an "audit monkey" - a very small cog in a big team. Junior auditors working on the big bank audits definitely won't have an overview, and are unlikely to speak to anyone at the client who does either. It's a shame they didn't speak to a senior manager, director or partner.

France (and for that matter many other European economies) desperately need to sort out their supply side, especially their labour markets. Can't see that happening in France any time soon though.

The thing is that Facebook will only let you share files up to 25 megs - and I can't think of anything I'd want to pirate that would be less than 25 megs.

Correction: Community has been renewed for a fourth season, no mention of "final"... it was 30 Rock that got its final season confirmed.

In re Facebook: $2/post seems really steep. If I were running Facebook, I'd make highlighting posts free, and the ability to only see highlighted posts (possibly only highlighted posts from selected people) cost something like $2/month.

That maternal antibodies link is redirecting to the science daily homepage.
