Doctor Love | Fast Company
Neuroeconomist Paul Zak has discovered, for the first time, that social networking triggers the release of the generosity-trust chemical in our brains. And that should be a wake-up call for every company.
The essence of affection. The cuddle chemical. In other words, oxytocin.

Spherical Game Development Community
Sphere is a cross platform, open source computer program designed primarily to make role-playing games (RPGs) similar to those found on the SNES and Sega Genesis consoles. Sphere was originally coded by Chad Austin. When making a game with Sphere, most things are scripted using the JavaScript language (though very early versions used its own Spherescript language) with special functions and objects for maps, spritesets, images and other resources.
Though Sphere was designed to make RPGs, because of the flexibility of a scripting language it can be used to make almost any other type of game.
Recent versions of Sphere also support basic 3D graphics functions using the OpenGL video driver. However, it is more complicated to use than the 2D graphics functions and is still in early stages.

Silicon Valley’s Dark Secret: It’s All About Age
The harsh reality is that in the tech world, companies prefer to hire young, inexperienced, engineers. And engineering is an “up or out” profession: you either move up the ladder or face unemployment. This is not something that tech executives publicly admit, because they fear being sued for age discrimination, but everyone knows that this is the way things are. Why would any company hire a computer programmer with the wrong skills for a salary of $150,000, when it can hire a fresh graduate—with no skills—for around $60,000?

ParseKit - Cocoa Objective-C Framework for parsing, tokenizing and language processing
ParseKit is a Mac OS X Framework written by Todd Ditchendorf in Objective-C 2.0 and released under the MIT Open Source License. ParseKit is suitable for use on Mac OS X Leopard, Snow Leopard or iPhone OS. ParseKit is an Objective-C implementation of the tools described in "Building Parsers with Java" by Steven John Metsker. ParseKit includes additional features beyond the designs from the book and also some changes to match common Cocoa/Objective-C conventions. These changes are relatively superficial, however, and Metsker's book is the best documentation available for ParseKit.

10 iPhone Apps to Get You Back to School
Do you like this story?

As August nights get cooler, we begin begrudgingly counting down the remaining summer days. Once Labor Day passes, it’s back to school time for millions.

The best part of going back to school is clearly the shopping. Even though a new notebook can go a long way in preparing you for the new year, the iPhone also has a ton of apps that will help to get you organized and in the right mind-space to focus and learn.

Last year we brought you 10 awesome applications and now we are updating and adding to that list, ensuring you have a smooth transition when returning to those hallowed halls

There is not yet a binary installer for 64-bit fink on 10.6. Don't panic. Manual installation is quite straightforward, and I have a detailed, step-by-step procedure you can follow here: 64-bit Fink for 10.6.
If your hardware is 64-bit capable (most is, but see the next section below for how to check), I strongly recommend installing 64-bit fink.
