Daily links: 14th August

Round up of some links.

The work of Jack’s Kindness Shop – I think his idea of being an animal lover may need some work.

The Daily Mash on the American healthcare debate – Dr Tom Logan, head of public health at the Institute for Studies, said: “The key difference between the United States and Britain is that we treat poor people rather than leaving them to die in a skip.”

Who ya gonna call? – Don’t cross the streams.

Israel fights off Swine Flu – obviously where the UK is going wrong.

Pirate Party UK – single issue politics. Almost certainly won’t get anywhere without proportional representation, but it’s an interesting development.

Rescue Robot in Japan – pretty cool way to avoid sending firefighters into dangerous situations, but I’d still worry about someone getting an order wrong and shipping one of these.

Engadget review Windows 7 – pretty positive.

Lifehacker go over Digsby – possibly the most bundled crap around in one package from the sound of it.

Slate on why Twitter can’t last as Twitter alone – needs to distribute from one company to many. Could be something that works with Wave?
