20 Must-See Business TED Talks Every year, today’s greatest thinkers gather at various TED (Technology Entertainment and Design) conferences around the world. Their talks, which you can find on TED’s website, are often insightful, educational, and fascinating. As a TED junkie, I decided to compile 20 of the best business talks in the conference’s history. Each talk offers insights either into a business leader’s mind, or into concepts that will change the way you think about business and the economy. (If you have any favorites not included on this list, please mention them in the comments below.) 20.

Darknet - The Darkside | Ethical Hacking, Penetration Testing & Computer Security The Story of Stuff 9 Tactics for Rapid Learning (That Most People Have Never Heard Of) Whenever the subject of why some people learn faster comes up, I get a whole host of common answers: Some people are just naturally smart. (Often implying you can’t improve)Everyone is “smart” in their own way. (Nonsense, research indicates different “intelligences” often correlate)IQ is all in the genes. There may be some truth to these claims. Considering the upcoming launch of my rapid learning program, I wanted to share my favorite tactics to learn faster, retain information better or just enjoy the process of learning more: #1 – Pegging (or How Mental Magicians can Perfectly Recall Hundreds of Numbers) One of my favorite learning tactics, that is rarely mentioned, is pegging. The systems I’ve seen typically work with a special cheat sheet. From there, you can translate any series of numbers into a series of letters. Then, once you have your string of nouns, you just need to create a story that combines each of the nouns in a sequence. If you want to speed read, the basics are:
Three More External USB 3.0 Drives Benchmarked : Which SuperSpeed USB Drive Is Right For You? Another trio of SuperSpeed USB 3.0 drives landed in our German lab recently. As some of the contenders we've benchmarked underperform compared to our expectations, it’s quite clear that hard drive speed matters again, now that we've moved beyond USB 2.0. An increasing number of USB 3.0 storage products are hitting the market, and competition is driving prices in a favorable direction. Is this the time to upgrade to external SuperSpeed storage? There’s one big reason why USB 3.0 is important: it removes the predominant storage bottleneck for external and portable devices by providing roughly ten times more throughput than USB 2.0. USB 3.0 Is Not Mainstream…Yet! Although SuperSpeed USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0, the industry has not yet integrated the faster 5 Gb/s controllers into mainstream chipsets. USB 3.0 Controllers to the Rescue

me n bro Учёные предрекли Солнцу скорый глубокий сон С Солнцем происходят серьёзные перемены, механизм которых до конца не ясен даже гелиофизикам. Похоже, что наше родное светило готово надолго «залечь в спячку». Только несколько дней назад мы стали свидетелями впечатляющего коронального выброса. Однако, несмотря на это проявление активности, в целом настроение у Солнца сейчас довольно «ленивое», а в ближайшие годы его состояние окажется и вовсе «летаргическим». Таков вывод исследований, результаты которых были представлены 14 июня в Нью-Мексико на конференции отделения гелиофизики Американского астрономического общества (Solar Physics Division). Сразу три научные работы, рассмотревшие различные процессы в недрах звезды, привели специалистов к выводу, что следующий цикл солнечной активности будет необычайно слабым, задержится во времени и, быть может, даже не состоится вовсе. И действительно, ещё до начала текущего 24 цикла характер крутильных колебаний верно предсказал запоздавшее его наступление и общую слабость. солнечная активность
Hacking Knowledge: 77 Ways to Learn Faster, Deeper, and Better If someone granted you one wish, what do you imagine you would want out of life that you haven’t gotten yet?
