Okay, this is cracking me up. This is supposed to block radiation? Since it covers the back of the phone and not the front (the part against the girls face), it seems more like it is going to reflect the radiation back through the phone into her face. Disclaimer, there has been no conclusive...

I wonder if anyone can help enlighten me about this: http://cbcl.mit.edu/news/files/caltech-6-05.html ...which suggests that individual neurons in the brain have been shown to 'think', or more accurately, respond to particular images by firing. The reasoning seems quite wrong from what I've...

I saw my sister recently, as we are all together for the holidays. She has a new cell phone (I believe an LG) and when it rang, I noticed something. It sounds really good. Loud and ... good. Not too tinny or cut-off. It has two stereo speakers on it, each smaller than a penny (like maybe...

http://freespace.virgin.net/john.hewitt1/pg_ch07.htm Oh, go on then. Have a thread about it. Excuse my ignorance, but having read this theory I am at loss to explain exactly what problem it was seeking to address. Perhaps Dr. Hewitt could briefly summarise the idea. 1. What is the question...

Will this finally end the stem cell debate? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/23/AR2006082300936.html

I'm debating someone on stem cell use. We're trying to stay away from the moral implications (or we'd never get anywhere), and so his argument is 'we don't neem embryo stem cells since adult stem cells work just fine.' Essentially, he says that they can cure diseases (which embryo cells haven't...

From another thread, which got me wondering... Two things I'm thinking about: There are predictions that in a relatively few years, the landline telephone will be extinct, or nearly so, as everyone will have a cell phone; I know a lot of people - Mrs. BPSCG, my mother, Mrs. BPSCG's mother...

I can't post an url, so just search for 'Lagovski Moiseynko egg'. I saw something like this before. I can think of a few differences between an egg and a human head though. Size, different skull/shell thickness, circulation inside the head etc. Anyone tried to duplicate this? Also, does...

I'm looking to buy a cell phone wich 1) weighs below 100gr, preferably below 90g, 2) has a long-lasting battery (compared to the other modern cell-phones) and 3) has a video-camera. So far so good, only I want some other capabilities that I can't usually check them on most phone specifications...

What is the value of a little antenna in a cell phone? The cell phone I have now has a retractable antenna that can come up about an inch. I never use it because it doesn't seem to make any difference in reception. I've been looking for a new cell phone. One that I like has a cone on one side...

Anyone able to give a simplified explanation of what happens to a cell phone text message from the moment it is sent to the moment it appears on the receiver's screen? Also, if an employee of a cell phone carrier wanted to, could they read what messages were being sent, received, and waiting...

And 1 out of 100 has more than one... According to the newest numbers from the Danish National IT and Telecom Agency, there are now 5.469 million cell phone subscriptions in Denmark. That's 101 per 100 citizens. Source (in Danish) That's pretty darn impressive!

Some of the latest cell phones - such as the Motorola SLVR L7 - are appealling enough to entice me to dump my 3 yr old cell phone. However, it seems that the lastest crop of "cool" phones only are available with built-in cameras and - of course - my employer forbids camera phones. I guess that...

CNN's reporting on their website that the House has passed the bill for public funding of stem cell research despite Bush's vow to veto it. The full details aren't available yet, but I still say, "WHOO!"

Major stem cell breakthrough on brain disease A SAFE treatment for Parkinson’s disease sufferers could be available in as little as three years following new research into stem cell therapy. Scientists at the world-renowned Roslin Institute, near Edinburgh, have managed for the first time to...

Article from AFP Well, this is great news. There is one point the article makes, that beyond the ethical considerations, there are pros and cons to using the different type of stem cells. If multipotent stem cells are limited, then eventually it might become necessary to look into embryonic...

I've been so busy lately and my genetics paper for Biology has slipped up on me. My topic is Sickle Cell Anemia. I need informational sources on it, please help!:hb:

In case some of you guys don't get Michael Shermer's newsletter the first broadcast (on California's UCTV) from the science channel is online. It is a symposium of people discussing the science, ethics and politics of current stem cell research. I just saw the first part and it was quite...

What do you think of this new study that just came out claiming cell phones lower sperm count? Honestly I don't buy it. It was claimed that there was a link between cell phones and brain tumors, and that's complete bunk. There's a blurb here. As far as the study being a load of bull, there's...
