mind_hacks: Your thoughts become your password. Mind Hacks wonders, "Maybe this will lead to a new generation of hackers who train themselves to simulate others mental states in an attempt to forge 'pass thoughts'?"

languagelog, there's a series of posts about recent news reports that "European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) accurately recognize acoustic patterns defined by a recursive, self-embedding, context-free grammar." I'm not sure which post to link to, so maybe you can just read this one and follow the links. If you'd rather not do that, this post goes into most depth.
Before I read any more RSS feeds, I think I need some breakfast. See you all in a bit.
