Brain overloaded.  Not a good picture for nerds.

This book written by Hal Hellman is a great book to read. Unlike other science books, it is not boring but entertaining to read and provide interesting history insights for the readers. The chapters I personally like are:

• Urban VIII versus Galileo - An Unequal Contest
• Wallis versus Hobbes - Squaring the Circle
• Newton versus Leibniz - A Clash of Titans
• Darwin’s Bulldog versus Soapy Sam - Evolution Wars

If scholars can’t use Google, do you know how suffering will them be? Even Nobel laureates use Google. Proof? I caught this line the Peter Doherty’s The Beginner’s Guide to Winning the Nobel Prize (2005), “A Google search will also provide a spectrum of positive and negative assessments of Florence’s views.”

I’m reading this book for second time at the moment. The first time I read it was last year and that was just for the fun of reading. Now I’m reading it for the second time because it is a required reading for one of my subjects, and I never thought that book like this will be a reading material to pass the unit.

It’s funny that some of the websites are actually block by my ISP, and Google is one of them. So I am forced to use yahoo, and I am not satisfied with Yahoo search results, Google search is doing way better than Yahoo. Companies grow, Google grow as well, it’s part of the business, Google is evil, but I like it.
