• The 99 Most Popular Songs on Twitter Right Now – c/o WeAreHunted.com
• Wall Street Journal kertoo, miksi suosituimmat jutut -listat on dorkia – These online rankings are public, creating a positive-feedback loop. The more popular something becomes, even if just from a random burst of interest, the more likely it is to grow ever more popular. And that has troubling implications about the effects of all sorts of popularity rankings, from bestseller charts to election polls. Frequently, popularity rankings speak less to the merits of what's being observed and more to the fact that crowds are observing it. In other words, peer pressure.
• Jesus killed Mohammed: The crusade for a Christian military (Harper's) – When Barack Obama moved into the Oval Office in January, he inherited a military not just drained by a two-front war overseas but fighting a third battle on the home front, a subtle civil war over its own soul. On one side are the majority of military personnel, professionals who regardless of their faith or lack thereof simply want to get their jobs done; on the other is a small but powerful movement of Christian soldiers concentrated in the officer corps.

• The BBC has become a victim of its own incredible success – The more visible and influential it becomes, the more it is dragged into highly charged national debates about culture, language and acceptable levels of taste and decency in Britain. The Sachsgate affair last October caused a firestorm, and illustrated how swiftly the Corporation can be drawn into these rows over morality and culture. It has left many within the BBC complaining of a "culture of fear" that suppresses innovation and creativity.

• Jos haluat säästää, maksa käteisellä – se sattuu enemmän (Frontal Cortex) – There's some suggestive evidence that the brain makes simple consumer decisions by comparing our desire for the item (as represented by areas in the dopamine reward pathway, such as the nucleus accumbens) with the pain that comes from having to pay for the item. The problem with credit cards is that they abstract the payment: Instead of taking cash out of our wallet, we just swipe this thin plastic card. As George Loewenstein, a neuroeconomist at Carnegie-Mellon says, "The nature of credit cards ensures that your brain is anaesthetized against the pain of payment." Spending money doesn't feel bad, so you spend more money.
• Pontiacin halpismuskeliautojen synty, uho & tuho (NY Times) – The GTO’s birth can be traced to the musings of Bill Collins, a member of Pontiac’s advanced engineering group in the 1960s, at one of the informal Saturday morning get-togethers organized by John Z. DeLorean, Pontiac’s larger-than-life chief engineer. Mr. Collins pointed out that the husky V-8 from a Bonneville or Grand Prix would fit into the same space occupied by the Tempest’s tame engine. It was a head-slapping moment for engineers in search of performance.
• Shoot! An Appalachian gunsmith’s robot army (New Yorker) – You can fire an AA-12—which shoots five shotgun shells per second—with one and hold a mug of coffee in the other without spilling it. Made almost entirely of aircraft-grade stainless steel, the gun can fire thousands of rounds without cleaning. Baber spent a dozen years, and upward of a million and a half dollars of his own money, perfecting the gun. He believes that the AA-12 is the most deadly close-range weapon ever created.
