mojoboton WordSafety – Check a name for unwanted meanings in foreign languages

False positive: "hat" was flagged for "idiot" in English. I can't find a dictionary with that definition, and it's not one that I'm familiar with as a native speaker.

mojoboton Researchers Find Missing Link Between the Brain and Immune System

I do the same thing, because my brother has it. For what it's worth, he went to a series of lectures from the guy that wrote this book: http://www.amazon.com/The-Happiness-Advantage-Principles-Per...

It has helped him deal with things.

mojoboton Rice University leads $11M effort in big data software analytics

I am curious about how they will define correctness. With many parts in a system, code can look correct in its small unit, but not until it is running in the real world, is it obviously wrong.

Same here. #3 is my friend's dog. She's cute, but I've never met her. We don't communicate much either.

mojoboton Cinnamon can reverse changes in the brains of mice with Parkinsons

"a Content Query Api for developers to integrate managed content into any website or app."

This should be another sentence and may not be considered a feature depending on who your target is. Also, "integrate managed content" is a little hard to understand. Maybe "embed content" instead.

mojoboton CarWoo is shutting down

Yeah, it's mostly the top banner that's the problem. With the large stock image that may or may not be about buying a car and the set of links that are sort of relevant to what you want. Scrolling further, the content looks more legitimate. Had I not just read that article, I wouldn't have gone beyond the top banner.

mojoboton I asked for a t-shirt, I got a job

While I agree with the synopsis, I don't think it makes a better title.

That's more like a bullet point synopsis than a title.
