Predicting who'll benefit from anti-depressants From the study's abstract: "There are well-replicated, independent lines of evidence supporting a role for corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in the pathophysiology of depression." The NY Times has a bit more readable explanation (reg-free link) of a recent investigation of into whether there is a genetic explanation for why some people get more from their drugs than others.

Patenting Genes

Monsanto Wins Fight to Control Plant The Canadian Supreme court sets international precedent by ruling that since Monsanto holds a patent on a gene, it can control the use of the plant. So does this mean that in the future that an engineered human gene could be patented, and therefore if you receive this gene you will have to make royalty payments? And if you renege on paying can they repo the gene?

Challenging Darwin: Is sex really all
about the genes? 04/15/2004 10:30 AM
Author challenges Darwin's theory of "sexual selection." To Darwin, mutations that don't enhance survival, like peacocks' tails, must be aids to attracting mates to pass on genes. Homosexuality, therefore, is to Darwin and the Christian-right both an unnatural aberration. But with ever growing evidence of homsexual behavior in animals, from bonobos to penguins, isn't it time that Darwin's theory get replaced?

Digital Lifestyle Day 05 is underway here in Munich and happily my panel was not only the very first one, but I was the first speaker. So now my work is done and I can enjoy the conference and the mingling and the snacks and coffee! It's been very interesting so far and fun to share the stage with people like Caterina (from flickr.com) and Michael (from last.fm). My brain's bubbling with lots of thoughts, most of which would be clearer if I weren't quite so tired. Still, the conference is fun so far. Check out the website for more information, I believe they're putting up streams of the presentations so you can see what's going on.

Tulip E-Go, "Lifestyle" Laptop

Tulip E-Go, "Lifestyle" Laptop 03/19/2005 02:45 AM

We know jack crap about these specification-wise, but a company called "Tulip Distribution" has announced the world's first "lifestyle" notebook called the "Tulip E-Go." When I received the e-mail regarding this announcement, I was rather inquisitive as to exactly what "lifestyle" meant for notebooks. So I opened the website, and what did I find? A picture of a woman holding a notebook with a fancy round case and stylish design. They look sort of like the old iBook oysters, except they've covered the fruit shells in leather.

Gates goes Digital Lifestyle

Gates goes Digital Lifestyle 01/06/2005 02:37 PM

Once before in my life - Bill Gates and I were in sync on a rising fad. That one was called Multimedia and it went onto being something pretty big.

I got several calls and letter this morning from Vegas telling me that Bill just pitched "Digital Lifestyle" at his annual CES keynote address.

Welcome Bill. So here's an open letter to bill.

First of all - how are you kids? Great! Glad to hear that.

Now 'how yah gonna aggregate' all that stuff Bill?

Are you gonna try and lock it all up under one Microsoft proprietary data silo? I sure hope not. My buddy Kim Cameron told me you're beyond that sort of behavior nowadays.

Or are you going to acknowledge that perhaps us humans are creating our own stuff and we don't necessarily want Hollywood content - exclusively.

Sure - sure - we'll buy some songs and download some movies and we'll even pay for them - but that's not what we're about. We need DLAs to integrate, aggregate and provide customization to our digital lifestyle.

We need DLAs to provide us built-in constructs - that assume that media management is integrated, that messages and conversations are pervasive, that personal publishing - in all it's personifications - are exemplified as the ideal state of creatviity and baked into the core.

We need DLAs which can talk to other DLAs, understand social networks and mesh together millions of disparate networks together.

And MOST importantly we need our DLAs to gateway to Home LANs and our mobile devices.

In fact Bill - why don't you come to our Mobile Monday meeting (next Monday Jan. 10th) - and let's schmozoe about all this?

Thanks Bill - and welcome - again.
