    It's a bit unnerving that Scott O'Neill bursts out laughing at the basic premise behind the story you are beginning to read. He is dean of the science faculty at Monash University in Australia and lead scientist for research on developing bacteria-infected mosquitoes as a public health tool.

  • “I love it,” said Esslinger from Vienna, where he teaches “convergent industrial design” at the University of Applied Arts. “The iPad is the beginning of a new category — one that is hyper-convergent and humanistic.”
  • For a device to be compelling as a “casual computer” it has to have both the right user interface and the right “form factor,” designer lingo for a manageable and easy-to-use industrial design.
  • “The iPad is merging humanistic innovation with a culture of design and interaction that reaches the levels of high art,” says Esslinger. “In a digital world mostly deprived of any truly inspired product and experience culture, Apple stands out even more. The nearly forgotten American Dream of excellence and success is alive thanks to Steve Jobs!”

      In this quote, Mr. Esslinger precisely epitomizes my feelings on Steve Jobs and Apple.

    this is an article about how performing experiments on mice help understand why migraines effect women more. they have found that by injecting the mice with a certain hormone found commonly in women, the mice have showed the same behaviors as women do who have severe migraines. ultimately this experiment will help doctors/ scientist further understand women and migraines

  • The study, by researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Children's Hospital in Boston, indicates a typical person can safely listen to an iPod for 4.6 hours per day at 70 percent volume using stock earphones, according to Cory Portnuff, a doctoral researcher in CU-Boulder's speech language and hearing sciences department.
  • The researchers found that listening to music at full volume through an iPod for more than five minutes a day using stock earphones can increase the risk of hearing loss in a typical person
  • Typical individuals can tolerate about two hours a day of a decibel unit known as 91-dBA before risking hearing loss, Portnuff said. The term dBA stands for "A-weighted decibels, a scale that takes into account that the human ear has different sensitivities to different frequency levels,"
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Loud sounds can stress and potentially damage delicate hair cells in the inner ear that convert mechanical vibrations, or sound, to electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound. "Over time, the hair cells can become permanently damaged and no longer work
  • No one set of earphones is more dangerous than another," he said. "While isolator style earphones are capable of producing higher levels of sound than earbuds, most people use them at a lower volume than earbuds because they block out background noise. It's important to monitor the level of volume control settings."

    Did you watch this video to the end? I had trouble doing that. But I don't think they really made a star, they are modeling how stars form. So, the created a "virtual' star. This video is so badly done, it is funny. You should show it to the group.

    One of the lesser-known facts about the Nazis' quest to create a "master race" -- which culminated in the Holocaust -- is that they didn't start with the Jews.
