"Professor Peter Weyand, Southern Methodist University (Texas), known for his expertise in terrestrial locomotion and human and animal performance says that humans would soon have the ability to modify and greatly enhance muscle fibre strength. This would enable speeds of 45 miles per hour and 5 seconds times for 100 meters." - Kelly Fox via Bookmarklet

Aaron Sorkin Announces New 'West Wing' Animated Series At SorCon | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

Shellee liked this

"I'm excited to bring my Emmy Award–winning writing to the field of animation," Sorkin said in a speech before approximately 30,000 screaming fans, many of whom were dressed up in the business-suit costumes of their favorite Sorkin characters. "The costs of live-action production restricted me to a set only slightly larger than the actual White House and an ensemble cast of under 15 actors. But animation technology will enable us to provide fans with extended 40-minute walk-and-talks, digitally compressed dialogue for faster delivery, and a cast of over 70 main characters. My vision will finally be presented in its truest, most uncompromised form." - Kelly Fox via Bookmarklet

Efficient technique enables thinking

August 20 at 8:00 am - via Bookmarklet - Link

"It appears that nerve cells can also obtain information about their neighbours even without a synapse. Neurobiologists Christian Lohmann and Tobias Bonhoeffer from the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology have now explained how they do that. The scientists marked a number of nerve cells with fluorescent dyes, observed them under a special microscope and discovered the secret to how the information is exchanged: local calcium signals very quickly transmit all the necessary information to the cell. A synapse only actually develops when the cell and the contact point prove to be suitable candidates for long-term contact." - Kelly Fox via Bookmarklet

Johnson & Johnson Introduces 'Nothing But Tears' Shampoo To Toughen Up Newborns | The Onion

"After decades of coddling young children, Johnson & Johnson unveiled its new "Nothing But Tears" shampoo this week, an aggressive bath-time product the company says will help to prepare meek and fragile newborns for the real world. A radical departure for the health goods manufacturer, the new shampoo features an all-alcohol-based formula, has never once been approved by leading dermatologists, and is as gentle on a baby's skin as "having to grow up and fend for your goddamn self."" - Kelly Fox via Bookmarklet

I love the Onion. I'd have its babies if that were possible and Lindsay didn't mind. ;) - Tad - just Tad

"The result of five years of intensive research and market testing, the company's "Nothing But Tears" shampoo contains only the most abrasive of natural ingredients and is nearly impossible to rinse from a baby's screaming face. According to directions printed on the label, the bath-time product is best used with scalding hot water for optimal toughening-up of newborns." - Tad - just Tad

Networks of the Future: Extending Our Senses into the Physical World

August 14 at 9:48 am - via Bookmarklet - Link

"Like cell phones, wireless sensor networks depend on small, independently powered devices, often called motes, to communicate. But unlike cell phones, which always relay their signal through a base station such as a tower, multihop sensor motes use each other to relay signals, transmitting communiqués through a series of "hops" from one mote to the next. Without the need to build a mesh of base stations that must be wired or have a substantial supply of energy, creating information-bearing ad-hoc networks to suit each unique set of circumstances would significantly reduce costs." - Kelly Fox via Bookmarklet

Scientists to study synthetic telepathy

August 14 at 9:45 am - via Bookmarklet - Link

Chuck Fishman, Dan Kaplan and Jennifer Dittrich liked this

"The brain-computer interface would use a noninvasive brain imaging technology like electroencephalography to let people communicate thoughts to each other. For example, a soldier would “think” a message to be transmitted and a computer-based speech recognition system would decode the EEG signals. The decoded thoughts, in essence translated brain waves, are transmitted using a system that points in the direction of the intended target." - Kelly Fox via Bookmarklet

Cool article. A decent job of articulating the issue. There is every reason to think entangled particles are actually parts of the same "thing" and not transmitting as one would think of it.
