Non riesco ancora a decidere se trovo divertente o raccapricciante l’idea di un cuore di peluche in grado di pulsare come se fosse vivo. Mentre da un lato, infatti, diversi test comportamentali hanno dimostrato che avvertire chiaramente un cuore che batte può riportarci alle sensazione di conforto e protezione caratteristica del grembo materno, dall’altro lato, invece, l’idea di abbracciare un peluche vivo potrebbe fare effetto ad alcuni.
My Beating Heart è stato progettato per facilitare il riposo e la meditazione, ed il ritmo al quale il cuore di pezza batte è progettato per avere il timing ideale, al quale il nostro battito cardiaco potrà coordinarsi. Il sito che mette in vendita questo “cuscino vivo” sostiene infatti che il battito cardiaco umano si adatti automaticamente a quello della persona che abbracciamo e questo donerebbe a My Beating Heart un forte potere calmante.
Il software che muove il cuscino è controllato da un’Intelligenza Artificiale piuttosto raffinata, ed il cuore di peluche costa 49.99 $ (31,50 €).
Chissà che nel futuro prossimo un meccanismo simile venga inserito anche all’interno di tutti i pupazzi di peluche, per tranquillizzare i più piccoli? Beh, finchè non decideranno di inserire il chip di My Beating Heart anche all’interno di Chucky la Bambola Assassina, continuerò a sentirmi rilassata abbastanza. [via Shiny Shiny]

There was this guy see.
He wasn’t very bright and he reached his adult life without ever having learned “the facts”.
Somehow, it gets to be his wedding day.
While he is walking down the isle, his father tugs his sleeve and says,
“Son, when you get to the hotel room…Call me”
Hours later he gets to the hotel room with his beautiful blushing bride and he calls his father,
“Dad, we are the hotel, what do I do?”
“O.K. Son, listen up, take off your clothes and get in the bed, then she should take off her clothes and get in the bed, if not help her. Then either way, ah, call me”
A few moments later…
“Dad we took off our clothes and we are in the bed, what do I do?”
O.K. Son, listen up. Move real close to her and she should move real close to you, and then… Ah, call me.”
A few moments later…
“DAD! WE TOOK OFF OUR CLOTHES, GOT IN THE BED AND MOVED REAL CLOSE, WHAT DO I DO???”
“O.K. Son, Listen up, this is the most important part. Stick the long part of your body into the place where she goes to the bathroom.”
A few moments later…
“Dad, I’ve got my foot in the toilet, what do I do?”

J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. says it will modify the terms of $70 billion in troubled, mostly adjustable-rate mortgages it holds.
The New York bank inherited many of the loans as part of its September purchase of a failed competitor, Washington Mutual Inc. (NYSE:WM), and its move will cover as many as 400,000 borrowers. J.P. Morgan said Friday the borrowers will be moved into loans carrying lower interest rates, smaller principal amounts or other more-affordable terms, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The move came shortly after the bank received a $25 billion capital infusion from the U.S. Treasury’s program to strengthen financial institutions and get credit flowing.
“Our goal in doing this was to come up with something that we think will lead the industry in helping as much as possible on this issue,” said J.P. Morgan executive Charles Scharf.
John Taylor, chief executive of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, said the action was “a gutsy move on their part. They are bending over backward to try to reach out to these people.”
