In my previous post I observed that the screen size of the new Galaxy Nexus phone is such that usability suffers. To back up and illustrate that statement, I’ve decided to shoot short demo videos.

Galaxy Nexus / Ice Cream Sandwich First Impressions
For my job, I ordered the new Google Galaxy Nexus phone a few days ago, and yesterday it finally arrived. After having used the Nexus One as my main phone for years, I knew there’d be a big difference in the phones. But of course, the Galaxy Nexus is also the first phone to ship with the new Ice Cream Sandwich Android version.
In a way, I don’t care much whether I’m going to review hardware or software differences here, as from a user’s perspective, it’s the overall usability that matters. So without further ado, on to my first impressions.

How Science Works
Recently, I found myself in a discussion around science, religion, and whether or not god exists. It was fun.
But I was slightly frustrated by it, too, because the person I was talking to demonstrated a slight misunderstanding on how science works, what science, in effect, is, that to me is at the heart of any debate over whether or not science can answer questions like the above. It’s not the first time I’ve seen this misunderstanding.
There are good examples of explaining the scientific method around; much better than I can sum up in a few words on a blog. However, you don’t need to understand all the bits and piece to understand the fundamentals.
