[Excerpt]: There are people who can quickly memorize lists of thousands of numbers, the order of all the cards in a deck (or ten!), and much more. Science writer Joshua Foer describes the technique — called the memory palace — and shows off its most remarkable feature: anyone can learn how to use it, including him.

[TEDx] Dan Ariely: What makes us feel good about our work?
Excerpt:
What motivates us to work? Contrary to conventional wisdom, it isn't just money. But it's not exactly joy either. It seems that most of us thrive by making constant progress and feeling a sense of purpose. Behavioral economist Dan Ariely presents two eye-opening experiments that reveal our unexpected and nuanced attitudes toward meaning in our work. (Filmed at TEDxRiodelaPlata.)
This interesting and inspiring talk sounds so "why didn't we realize it before", but is what great organizations probably have going for them to keep their workforce happy.

Great talk - thanks Dan Ariely!

Self Healing and Flexible Smartphones are here
Smartphones are getting smarter by the day (if not hour), and device makers are pulling out all the stops to add more buzz to the already stretched features, from extra high res cameras to fast processors to waterproof options. But, just we thought what next, the makers of such devices already had something up their sleeve!
LG's new G Flex smartphone comes with a self-healing exterior. And the 'Flex' is not just a fancy name. Check out this preview of the device to know what's in store. Other makers are expected to follow soon.
