AverageIQ Map World World IQ Map

"Values from Race Differences in Intelligence by Richard Lynn, based on a similar but non-identical map in the book. Values are average IQ scores for the indigenous peoples of each region. For example, the values for Australia are for Indigenous Australians, not the immigrants of European ancestry that now make up the majority of the Australian population."
I just found this to be an interesting map on Wikipedia.

Everyone has data on their computer.  Pictures of family, friends, scenery, or just random snapshots.  Documents, reports, homework, or entire novels.  Also finances, music, favorites, etc.  What many people lack is a way of backing that information up if the computer dies.  Mozy is a great online backup tool.  It uploads your files to a server online so even if your home were to burn down with everything inside it, your data would still be recoverable from the Internet.  It's simple to set up, and best of all, you can get 2 GB of backup for FREE!!   You can also choose to have UNLIMITED backup storage for $4.95 / month.  It's also automated.  No forgetting to back up because of laziness or time. Go here and check it out.

Blatant Hypocrisy

Viacom, a company owning television stations such as Comedy Central and VH1 are in a current suit against Google due to clips of their television shows (notably The Daily Show and The Colbert Report amongst others) showing up on YouTube without their permission.  They claim this is a blatant violation of their copyrights and should be prevented or YouTube shut down.  They have filed thousands of "take-down notices" to have videos removed from YouTube.  Many not even violating their copyrights.  Now it appears they're claiming copyright violation on a video of them violating the copyright of the person posting the accused video. More in depth here.
