Using Decision Trees in Complex Custody Evaluations
March 30, 2014
Recent interest in cognitive error and flawed decision making have prompted the development of checklists and tools to reduce human biases and inadvertent error from disrupting the process of conducting child custody evaluations.

What the Internet of 2025 Might Look Like
March 29, 2014
David Clark, senior research scientist at MIT: “Devices will more and more have their own patterns of communication, their own ‘social networks,’ which they use to share and aggregate information, and undertake automatic control and activation.

The Internet (and computer-mediated communication in general) will become more pervasive but less explicit and visible. It will, to some...

Inside Mickey Hart’s Brain: How Tech and Neuroscience Are Converging
March 28, 2014
As highlighted by SXSW this week, health is becoming a major focal point for technology entrepreneurs and investors. The health care and medical industry — from the research of new treatments to patient care — is poised for dramatic disruption, as more money and effort goes into the development of sensors, robotics and big data software. Change could come from the collision of unusual bedfellows, such as academic institutions and gaming companies, and the creative application of emerging technologies...

Jury Orders Google Must Pay $85 Million in Patent Infringement Claim
March 28, 2014
It was an expensive day—perhaps even an expensive week—for Google Inc. last Thursday. A federal jury decided that the search engine giant owes $85 million in damages to SimpleAir for infringing on their patent, according to a recent statement.

March 28, 2014
As I read, I became convinced that for these geniuses, a routine was more than a luxury — it was essential to their work. As Currey puts it, “A solid routine fosters a well-worn groove for one’s mental energies and helps stave off the tyranny of moods.” And although the book itself is a delightful hodgepodge of trivia, not a how-to manual, I began to notice several common elements in the lives of the healthier geniuses (the ones who relied more on discipline than on, say, booze and Benzedrine)...
