Facing Age With a Saucy Wink
By FRANK BRUNI
At 89, Betty White is riding high. And she has a new memoir of sorts, "If You Ask Me (And of Course You Won't)."
Bruni d’Entrecasteaux, perhaps in fear, or wonder, or both, called Bruny Island a place “separated from the rest of the universe.”
No more though.
And at this end of a view of what cities wreak but which no city ever sees, my eyes fall, the cursor winks, and I begin.
'Generation A'

Douglas Couplands new novel, set in a near future when bees are thought to have become extinct, is not a sequel to but rather a thematic wink at his 1991 debut, "Generation X."
模型分析是一个有争议的领域。关于气候，我们有太多东西都不是很了解——云团、飓风、融冰、悬浮物，因此对于超级计算机模拟未来气候的能力仍然存在疑问。 根据一项试验，Climateprediction.net网站会生成数以千计的气象局气候模型版本，让人们在自己家里的个人电脑上运行。试验结果显示， 如果你对参数进行轻微的调整，模型就会产生截然不同的结果。我与米切尔会面前一周，英国气象局被迫为其“烧烤夏季”(barbecue summer)的新闻稿进行了辩护——这证明哪怕只是进行季节性预测也很困难。

Blink and you'll miss it: Japan's new eye iPod
When a user winks, movement in their skin is detected by sensors clipped to their glasses or headphones, said Kazuhiro Taniguchi of Osaka University's Graduate School of Engineering Science, who developed the "KomeKami Switch" or "Temple Switch".
The infrared sensors then generate an electric signal that a micro computer uses to work Apple Inc's (AAPL.O: Quote, Profile, Research) iPod.
Wink strongly for one second with one eye to rewind, use the other to skip to the next song, or close both eyes to pause and play, Taniguchi told Reuters in an e-mail interview.
But what if users accidentally blink only to find themselves in a completely different soundtrack?
"It doesn't happen at all. This system doesn't malfunction even if the user eats, talks, walks and runs," Taniguchi wrote, saying there were differences in movement between an accidental and an intentional blink or wink.
"The computer can judge the difference of those signals," he added -- even if other people around you may be left wondering what message your eyes are sending.
