Interesting links

Some random thoughts and links:


    Some coffe links I have been exploring: This page is a great place for finding out more about your caffeine intake through everyday food and what it does to you. How Caffeine Works is a rather scary and depressing link for coffee lovers like me. INeedCoffee seems to be an interesting site about coffee cultures that I am currently exploring. I also want to get to this book eventually. (all coffee links via this metafilter thread).

    This morning I read an interesting post about the pros and cons of living in USA for Indians. I don?t think money is easy in USA. A simplistic explanation is: most Indians who come to USA these days are software engineers who have a much higher pay than many other sections of the American society. (via Just A Little Something).

    I am disgusted and disturbed that the murder video of Daniel Pearl video seems to be available in pornography sites. But I think it is wrong and ridiculous to try to suppress the appearance of the video on the net. Not only does anyone have zero chance of taking something off the net after it has been published, it is dangerous to let the state dictate to ISPs what one may or may not publish on the net (i.e. so long as it is not compromising national security).
