WordLens

This has to be the coolest machine translation idea I've seen for a while.



Imagine taking this app on vacation in a foreign country. Can language goggles be far behind?

Notice that it doesn't always try to twiddle the word order, even where it would be appropriate. On the other hand, it must be doing all kinds of text and character recognition under the hood. Not to mention colour and size matching. I bet later on they'll try font matching.

Now if I can just get a copy to [...]

As Intellectually Dishonest as a Miss America Contestant

The following video contains the answers of Miss America contestants when asked if evolution should be taught in class rooms. Make all the jokes you want about the stereotype regarding how intelligent a beauty pageant contestant is (I was in a beauty pageant when I was in high school...so...uh...yea~), but their answers are pretty typical of what you'd get if you asked anyone from the general public. The problem isn't just a lack of understanding of what a scientific theory is. There's an larger problem at work here; the idea that knowledge is relative and that science is just another "story" among the many narratives we choose to tell ourselves.

Benny Hinn: Dark Lord of the Sith

Let's face it. This week has just been one of those weeks, and it's not over yet. A little silly break is in order:

There, I fell better now.

Consider this a Thursday open thread. I haven't had an open thread in a while, and when things get busy enough it's a time-honored way of filling blog time...

About Skepticator

Skepticator is an RSS aggregator run by Jason Brown, a skeptical atheist interwebs guy based in Sydney, Australia. It is supported by ads and runs on beer, cigarettes and sandwiches, in that order.

This is BETA version 0.9.1 of Skepticator. Coming versions will have features such as popularity tracking, customisation and social link sharing

More on this beta

  • Skepticator is gathering data in the background, so can take 10-15 mins to refresh the feed
  • Tweeting directly from skepticator might be buggy. Please report errors!
  • It can manage Atom and RSS feeds but sometimes hiccups over broken entries
  • Blogs with a lot of markup in their feeds may get truncated summaries (I'm looking at you, Guardian blogs)
  • Approval of new feeds is slightly slow in this stage
  • Currently scans twitter and bloglists every 15 minutes. This will be increased to around every five minutes once the algorithms are streamlined, then tuned based on the ongoing load
  • Podcast support is on the way - don't email me asking for it, I'm already on it
