iChat Matte removes glossy chat bubbles from iChat

Notice anything different here? I no longer have that stupid glossy look in my chat bubbles in iChat thanks to iChat Matte. I can’t understand why anybody would want their chat bubbles to be glossy, or better yet, why there is no default option to remove them in preferences.

Dolphins at Sea World learning how to blow bubble rings by watching each other

March 14, 2009 @ 8:24 am

Over a year ago, I posted a video about how dolphins can blow bubbles rings underneath water and play with them as toys. I said at the time that dolphins were incredibly smart for being able to figure this trait out on their own.

Well, it turns out that dolphins are even smarter than previously thought because they can in fact learn and/or teach this trick to other dolphins. According to Sea World trainers, other dolphins who could not blow bubbles have learned how to do it by watching the dolphins who could.

That’s pretty darn great. Watch the video above to see clip after clip of dolphins blowing bubbles. Man, when was the last time I was at Sea World? Like…before I was a teen I think. Geez.
