Scientists discover 5th flavor receptor on tongue? 'Craft' beer drinkers exult as 'hype' joins salty, sour, sweet, and bitter. Tongue in cheek, that is.

The human tongue can differentiate among salty, sour, sweet, bitter, and umami (savory). New research suggests that the tongue contains additional taste receptors for fat and carbonation.
In every seatback on every airliner from every country throughout the world, there it is: the laminated safety card. Yes, these colorful works of universal illustration all answer the same basic questions -- Where’s that life vest? How does the oxygen mask work? Where’s the closest exit? -- but every plane and every airline has its own unique system of graphic shorthand to communicate quickly and across language barriers.
With origins in the nautical safety, the art and craft of designing infographics for airline passengers had to swiftly evolve to cover new territory – namely, potential death in a fiery crash after severe aeronautical trauma.
Broadcast on IT Conversations, Ze Frank kicks off day two of Pop!Tech with his unique style and in-depth exploration of the mysterious culture surrounding of airline safety cards.
By tapping into an underground network of people who collect these cards, he analyzes examples from the early days of air travel to the extremely graphic graphics on Azerbijani Air.
Ze makes sure you'll never look at your personal floatation device the same way again! He walks us through the logic and logistics of communicating such a complex and unnerving scenario, giving us a glimpse at the awkward design decisions and harrowing storyboards confronting passengers around the world.
One topic not covered in the safety card: What to do after the life raft drifts off to sea, into the sunset, into this mad, mad world we live in.

Insåg att jag bara hade klassikern på lokal disk när jag skulle försöka länka till den. Så kan man ju inte ha det.

I almost died 3 times-the first time a gas bottle exploded-I was very lucky that the flames didn´t hit my face-second time at my work a machine hit my head-few millimeters deeper and my brain would be damaged-the third time I had a ski accident-cervical fracture…God loves me but he has a weird sense of humor…
