Schrödinger’s Cat is a famous paradox of quantum mechanics which is often quoted but less often properly understood. There’s a cat in a box. It might be dead. It might be alive. It might be both.

Austrian economist Ewald Nowotny of the European Central Bank has urged an incentive for Ireland and other indebted countries:
“If you have the feeling that these countries are really trying, that structural change is coming, that these problems will not resurface in two years, then it can make sense to say you can fine tune things. If this is not the case there is no reason to change anything.”
But enough about that. Let’s anagram that name:
Wantonly owed
No way let down
Want woodenly
Yawned lot now
And our favourite: Date Nylon Wow.

Putting the uprising aside for one magical day, thousands in the town of Misrata celebrated the opening of Apple Store #323.
“We know a thing or two about revolution,” said Ron Johnson, Apple’s Senior VP of Retail, who cut the ribbon amid celebratory gunshots by the excited citizenry. “So our bond with the Libyan people runs deep.”
While there is definitely excitement in the air — along with the occasional streak of tracers — Apple is by no means getting a free ride in Libya. Opening in just two weeks is Microsoft Store #8, which panders to the pro-Gadhafi crowd massing arms in Tripoli.
Microsoft says it has a “winner” in a theme that will appeal to government supporters and those too afraid to leave their homes: Microsoft: Making the status quo more tolerable than ever.

Not the biggest Radiohead fan in the world, nor famed for his discretion when it comes to giving his opinion of other bands, Liam Gallagher offered the following take on King Of Limbs in a recent interview for The Quietus:
I heard that f**king Radiohead record and I just go, ‘What?!’ I like to think that what we do, we do fucking well. Them writing a song about a fucking tree? Give me a f**king break! A thousand year old tree? Go f**k yourself! You’d have thought he’d have written a song about a modern tree or one that was planted last week. You know what I mean?
