Fastest Waveform ever Photographed
http://science.slashdot.org/article.p
http://physicsbuzz.blogspot.com/200
Interesting science bit,. We have successfully photographed wave,s that were moving at 99.997% of the speed of light. for those wondering what this has to do with anything, it's a process towards table-top particle accelerators. current particle accelerators, can be as large as a football field. Particle accelerators, have many many uses in both research and medical fields, however, with them currently being miles long constructs, there are only a few in the country, and various hospitals, research labs, etc, must jockey for time ,at one of a handful of accelerators. making a particle accelerator, that is the seize, of say, a kitchen table, would allow most facilities to have their own accelerator. This could lead to much faster, research, discoveries & treatments.

Clarion is now marketing a new "anti-radiation mist"
You spray this on/around you, and it protects your skin from the harmful aging effects, of the radiation, emitted by your laptop monitor.
wow... there's almost no words to describe how i feel about this idiocy.
Amarok on the rise
http://www.boingboing.net/2006/10/31/li
http://amarok.kde.org/content/view/84/6
Amarok is One of the most widely used, & loved music players in the open source world, it runs on Linux (kde), and has just about everything a music lover could want. it automatically downloads song lyrics, fro ma free service, automatically looks up banks on Wikipedia, retrieves cover art, does ratings, categories, mood-themes. you name it.
And now it's going to allow automatic download of music, similar to ITunes, but without the DRM and other BS. the new music store will sell Creative Commons licensed, music, including artists from the rather open label Magnatune.
