Several vertebrate species can distinguish between, say, two and five bananas—but with the exception of primates, they can’t grasp the numerical rules that would let them arrange their piles of fruit from least to most. Now, new research suggests that pigeons, like primates, can follow these abstract numerical rules. The study is in the...
Isn't it strangely fascinating that a galactic catastrophe spanning lightyears in diameter billions of years ago resemble the snapshot of a tiny firecracker mid-eruption? That the same behavior in intermolecular forces that shape and drive our microscopic strands of DNA are very similar to the infinitely cosmic forces that shape clusters of solar...
The web browser you're using? Coded by the language written by him. Using an Android? It's brains and heart run on a platform that extended from his invention. The same scalable technology that hosts most (if not all) the webpages on the www. The proliferation of UNIX was the birth of OpenSource. The programming...
MyTake: I support the protesters because someone needs to make some noise about problems that our government and our citizens aren’t adressing seriously. All I hear from the critics of this movement is “Hey, it’s rude and dangerous to look behind the green curtain! Don’t piss off the Mighty Oz!” These protesters are bringing...
A trip down Apple-branded memory lane for me. From that Apple II at the library to the MacBook I'm typing this piece on.
When cybercrimes happen, we think of each individual incident, it’s own headline. This bank’s website got hacked into, files from another company’s rnd laptop were filched at the international airport during a layover. A company analyst opens a corrupted email within the intranet, planting the trojan that’s harvesting login strokes, confidential memos, and databases,...
This is all so bittersweet to me. NASA is the cornerstone of American Innovation, and the shuttle program is a prime example of those guys genius at work. Two flights to go, for a program mothballed ahead of its time. It is odd that I more vehement to W’s executive disordering of NASA than...
Within FIVE years, China’s space agency will surpass NASA in avionics and space technology advancement. If not sooner. We are ditching Hubble, ISS, the shuttle program, just as we ditched Skylab, Apollo/Saturn and other history making footnotes. Ares? SMH. I don’t think China is going to make the same mistake. Not with all the...
A lot of people viewed B2 as a failure. I see it as an eye-opening first step. The idea of exploration is to learn about the unknown ahead. It was better to learn those lessons on terra firma than 320,000,000 miles away from the nearest hardware store. Glad to hear it’s being recycled and...
Okay, here’s the BAIT. Markets will bleed some of the tension, focus too narrowly on short-term projections instead of the historical trends, and the chest-thumping in Washington subsides, rather than continue the momentum against the petrol cartels. And just as we take the finger off the trigger in a sigh of relief, (wait for...
