Aren’t secu­rity rules so incon­ve­nient and inconsistent.

“Strik­ing a pop­ulist tone, sev­eral of Pres­i­dent Obama’s lead­ing advis­ers on Sun­day issued stern warn­ings to Wall Street. They said big banks must not resist greater gov­ern­ment over­sight now that they have regained their finan­cial foot­ing through tax­payer financed bailouts.”

“US researchers have found a way to dra­mat­i­cally increase the har­vest of stem cells from adult tis­sue. It is a prac­ti­cal step for­ward in tech­niques to pro­duce large num­bers of stem cells with­out using embryos. Using three drug-like chem­i­cals, the team made the pro­ce­dure 200 times more effi­cient and twice as fast, the Nature Meth­ods jour­nal reported.”

“SVG Web clev­erly uses exist­ing facil­i­ties on Inter­net Explorer 6, 7, and 8 to instantly enable SVG sup­port with­out the user hav­ing to down­load any new soft­ware or plu­g­ins. Using SVG Web plus native SVG sup­port you can now tar­get close to 100% of the exist­ing installed web base, today. Before SVG Web you could only tar­get about ~30% of web browsers with SVG. Once dropped in SVG Web gives you par­tial sup­port for SVG 1.1, SVG Ani­ma­tion (SMIL), Fonts, Video and Audio, DOM and style script­ing through JavaScript, and more in about a 60K library. Your SVG con­tent can be embed­ded directly into nor­mal HTML 5 or through the OBJECT tag. If native SVG sup­port is already present in the browser then that is used. No down­loads or plu­g­ins are nec­es­sary other than Flash which is used for the actual ren­der­ing, so it’s very easy to use and incor­po­rate into an exist­ing web site.” Can you say awesome?

“The scans have been tem­porar­ily stopped for young peo­ple while legal advice is sought, said the air­port.” Some­thing I guess.

“Researchers have dis­cov­ered a mag­netic equiv­a­lent to elec­tric­ity: sin­gle mag­netic charges that can behave and inter­act like elec­tri­cal ones. The work is the first to make use of the mag­netic monopoles that exist in spe­cial crys­tals known as spin ice. Writ­ing in Nature jour­nal, a team showed that monopoles gather to form a “mag­netic cur­rent” like elec­tric­ity. The phe­nom­e­non, dubbed “mag­netric­ity”, could be used in mag­netic stor­age or in com­put­ing. Mag­netic monopoles were first pre­dicted to exist over a cen­tury ago, as a per­fect ana­logue to elec­tric charges.” Very impres­sive research.
