The arctic ground squirrel can lower its body temperature to that of a popsicle. If scientists can figure out how, hibernating space flight and longer shelf life for transplant organs may be possible. By Louise Knapp.

Squirrels scream ultrasonically

Squirrels scream ultrasonically 07/30/2004 02:11 PM
Ground squirrels emit an ultrasonic shriek to warn others that a predator is nearby. In the current issue of the journal Nature, University of Manitoba researchers report that while bats and whales use ultrasound for echolocation and to track pray, to their knowledge "ultrasonic alarm calls have not previously been detected in any animal group, despite their twin advantages of being highly directional and inaudible to key predators." From a New Scientist article about the study:

"Ultrasonic alarm calls might be beneficial because many of the birds-of-prey that catch and eat squirrels cannot hear them. Conveniently, ultrasound also has a shorter range than audible sound.

'It may be used to secretly warn others without alerting a more distant predator,' says (researcher David) Wilson.

Super cool squirrels!

Super cool squirrels! 12/11/2003 06:12 PM
Super cool squirrels! "We believe that a ground squirrel, when it goes into hibernation, produces chemical messengers that are released from the brain that direct the slowing down of the metabolism... If we were able to synthesize the same chemical compounds and make them available in an injection, it could be administered to induce a hibernation-like state in humans."

And they're cute, too.

DSL Providers Offer Wi-Fi as Lure

DSL Providers Offer Wi-Fi as Lure 07/06/2004 06:17 PM
DSL providers have gained on cable Internet marketshare; Wi-Fi is one lure: The Wall Street Journal reports that the efforts by Verizon, BellSouth, Qwest, and SBC coupled with reduced prices are paying off. More new broadband customers chose DSL over cable in 2004's first quarter. Cable companies are warming to the notion of Wi-Fi for intra-home sharing, however. Cable companies still trot out the "sharing Internet is like stealing cable" for connections shared beyond a home. It's clearly not. The law governing cable theft doesn't cover Internet sharing. It may certainly be a violation of the terms of service, and thus a reason for canceling a cable modem subscriber's account. But I sincerely doubt that a cable firm would win a prosecution under the cable theft laws which govern programming....

Can You Resist The Lure Of The Mobile
Phone? 08/16/2004 05:00 AM
Robert J. Samuelson, writing for Newsweek, explains why he'll never get a mobile phone. He lists out most of the mobile phone annoyances we all know about already (being interrupted at the wrong time, private conversations being made public, always being accessible, etc.) while still admitting that phones are useful in certain circumstances. He pretty much ignores the more innovative ways that mobile phones have changed lives (such as by saving them) or how people act (such as making it possible for groups to gather in a much more ad hoc manner) which is normal for those who simply assume that a mobile phone is just like a phone, but mobile. However, in the end, he's basically taking a stand against the tide. While it's great for him if he can keep it up, it really doesn't impact anyone else (unless they're trying to reach him). I have nothing against anyone who chooses not to buy a mobile phone if they don't think it's necessary. However, to think that it's somehow noble to stand there and declare publicly that you have no need for the technology just looks silly. If you don't need it, don't buy it.
