The Economic Organisation of a P.O.W. Camp: Fascinating article about the trade system which evolved in WWII POW camps utilising cigarettes as a currency. Many trade and currency concepts are easier to digest when described in the context of this micro-economy. Thanks kottkeQuick Reviews by Garrett Murray

The prevalence of pyjamas, Guariglia explained to me, was due to both the extreme summer heat and the lack of plumbing. Most Shanghaians share outdoor communal toilets and thus the boundaries of what was considered one’s home have expanded past people’s houses to the public bathrooms. Once that relaxation of the dress code became acceptable (starting around the 1980s) the perimeter for p.j.-wear just kept expanding until many people were wearing them day in day out.

CoolBook
CoolBook: I used to have a serious problem with my Macbook Air. After using the CPU intensively for a few minutes (e.g. watching a video) it would overheat and turn of one of the cores until the CPU usage fell to below 100%. Oddly enough when this was happening, the kernel_task process would be using 100% of the CPU. Installing CookBook has pretty much solved the problem, however with CoolBook the CPU temperature is now allowed to go to above 80C (were as before it’d never get above 75C).Tourfilter
