Psychopaths among us + More
Faskinating - Psychopaths among us. "For his first paper, now a classic, Hare had his subjects watch a countdown timer. When it reached zero, they got a "harmless but painful" electric shock while an electrode taped to their fingers measured perspiration. Normal people would start sweating as the countdown proceeded, nervously anticipating the shock. Psychopaths didn't sweat. They didn't fear punishment -- which, presumably, also holds true outside the laboratory."
Amusing - Ultimate Mouse Pointer.
Useful - TPS Report Template. For those burdened with an over-active bureaucracy.

Interesting - Presentations on who to scale websites from people like Twitter, Flickr, Bloglines etc.
Something to look forward to - Top 10 Features in Windows Server 2008. A server OS without a GUI - fancy that.
More good stuff - Cognitive Bias: Reasons why what you think is right is wrong.
One to watch - Utu (FYI 'Utu' is a Maori word for revenge). "The Internet needs identity, reputation, and retribution." Should be a fascinating communication tool if it comes to fruition.
