Breaking Jack White News of the Day: Jack White, formerly of The White Stripes, has had a slew of side-projects and collaborations, but never a solo album.

Until now.

Just announced: Blunderbuss, Jack White’s first solo album, will be released April 24th by way of his own record label, Third Man Records.

“Blunderbuss is an album I couldn’t have released until now,” says White. “’ve put off making records under my own name for a long time but these songs feel like they could only be presented under my name. These songs were written from scratch, had nothing to do with anyone or anything else but my own expression, my own colors on my own canvas.”

Listen to the first single, “Love Interruption,” below, and then head over here to preorder the single.

In a trial of drugs for heart disease, one group who took their drugs regularly, as directed were 40% less likely to die than those who did not. 

The catch? Both of those groups were taking placebos. From NeuroSkeptic

What the placebo adherence effect demonstrates is that there may be confounds no-one has thought of. They might even be impossible to measure. And if these mystery confounds can literally kill you, they can probably cause all kinds of other effects too.

The patients were corrected for every health and lifestyle factor they could think of. So there must be a cause, we just have no freakin’ clue what it is.

Placebo effect, you win this time …

Just to put a pin in it, the Holographic Universe has a section devoted to the placebo phenomenon.

A change in policy: Twitter announced Thursday that it would begin restricting Tweets in certain countries, marking a policy shift for the social media platform that helped propel the popular uprisings recently sweeping across the Middle East.

“Starting today, we give ourselves the ability to reactively withhold content from users in a specific country while keeping it available in the rest of the world,” the Twitter blog said.
