15 anni di avvistamenti ufo negli Usa
An interactive map of 15 years of UFO sightings, via Slate.
In the past 15 years, the Davenport, Wash.-based National UFO Reporting Center has collected more than 30,000 reports of UFO sightings through its hotline and Web site…
The first plots every sighting as a small yellow dot, with lighter colors representing a higher density of reports.
True story: We once interviewed the head of this UFO Reporting Center, and when the Q&A went up online he thought it sounded too “precise,” so he threatened to sue us (me, actually—it was like my second day on the job) for illegally recording the conversation.

Il nemico dell’esercito USA si chiama PowerPoint
Questa è una slide di PowerPoint creata dall’esercito Usa per spiegare la complessità della strategia del pentagono sull’Afghanistan. Pare che per i militari americani Powerpoint stia diventando un’ossessione.
Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the leader of American and NATO forces in Afghanistan, was shown a PowerPoint slide in Kabul last summer that was meant to portray the complexity of American military strategy, but looked more like a bowl of spaghetti.
“When we understand that slide, we’ll have won the war,” General McChrystal dryly remarked, one of his advisers recalled, as the room erupted in laughter. The slide has since bounced around the Internet as an example of a military tool that has spun out of control. Like an insurgency, PowerPoint has crept into the daily lives of military commanders and reached the level of near obsession. The amount of time expended on PowerPoint, the Microsoft presentation program of computer-generated charts, graphs and bullet points, has made it a running joke in the Pentagon and in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Aggiornamento: Camillo aveva pubblicato la stessa slide a dicembre 2009.
