Postcard of the Interwebs - 14 January 2015

Uses and Benefits of East Indian Spices: A great article on East Indian spices for health and taste.

The Sun is White: Very cool eureka article on why the sun is actually white, its just the atmosphere that makes it yellow. Good news for Superman!

20 Scary places: Creepy and interesting at the same time.

Supernormal Stimuli: Excellent philosophical comic

Write anything using the Periodic Table: Although there are fictitious elements in this generator, its quite cool with the results.

Masks out of DNA: This artist uses DNA extracted from discarded gum and such to create masks. Creepy and I could see a use for forensics in solving crimes if it can be consistent.

The Broken Patent System and How to Fix it: An excellent article from Wired that illustrates the proliferation of litigation by large companies against other large and small companies and why the smaller innovators have been reluctant to reveal their inventions.
