"Jerboas have the ability to hop considerable distances relative to its size, an ability that evolved as an adaptation to help them escape from predators, and to assist with long journeys and foraging in its desert environment. Although jerboas are not closely related to the hopping mice of Australia or the kangaroo rats of North America, all three groups have evolved a similar set of...

Why even make it reversible? In public forums where so many users will be first-time users, it might make more sense to always have it facing up, lest people never discover the functionality.

Kevin, great idea -- a faucet that always directs its flow upward. The ultimate in minimalism, it could almost dispense with structure.

We use iChat to connect the Mountain View, Seattle, and Rochester offices for meetings. It is a less than ideal experience. Anyone have any alternatives?

I use Gmail web chat on a daily basis. It's great. But as far as I know it can only do one person to another single person.

nice roundup of video conferencing tools here: http://bit.ly/1XN6Xk I've used adobe connect, skype and ichat, all were about the same, but only locally and 1-1. ichat for video only and another channel for voice might be most reliable.

I've used iChat, Gmail Video, and Skype. For reliability, I would say that Gmail Video has been the strongest in terms of connecting well, not having calls dropped, and solid sound/video sync up. iChat is strongest overall (especially picture quality) when it works. However, frequently I've had many people unable to connect with iChat (and in the same session, we're able to use Gmail Video). Skype is between the two for me -- not as reliable as Gmail Video, quality not as high as iChat.

I can almost never get iChat video to work, regardless of the configuration or who I'm trying to connect with. It's pretty useless to me.

iChat works great, but for instances where I'm communicating with people who don't have iChat/AIM, I use skype or dimdim.

I did a video of a company called Facevsion at CeBIT which have a $99 HD video conferencing solution for Express card slot in any laptop, including also a cheap set-top-box solution probably $199 for HDTVs. Probably technology is now so that this little chip is just as good as 30-thousand dollar Cisco Telepresence, Sony ipela, Lifesize or any other such. I find HD video conferencing...

"When Kevin Richardson decided to cool off in the sweltering South African heat he was joined by an unlikely swimming partner - a giant lioness. But before you fear a bloody ending, don't... because these two are good friends. Zoologist and animal behaviourist Kevin, 34, raises and interacts with some of the most dangerous animals known to man. With his unusual methods, Kevin has developed some exceptionally personal bonds with his students, playing, sleeping and even swimming with animals. Taking a well-deserved break in the Crocodile River, just south of the Magaliesburg mountains, Kevin was joined by Meg the lioness. Weighing a staggering 185 kg this boisterous tawny lioness playfully splashed around with the veteran of the wild.. 'We went swimming purely for Meg's enrichment,' Kevin said. 'That's one of the reasons I believe my animals are so relaxed. They live very enriched lives. 'Those who like it go for swims, others go for walks in the greater area and others just prefer to go and chil
