Real Sells 1 Million Half-Price Songs 08/27/2004 01:47 PM
RealNetworks announced that it has sold 1 million songs in the week since beginning its half-price music promotion. Real dropped song pricing to 49-cents from 99-cents, in part to highlight its Harmony technology, which allows purchased songs to be played on over 70 digital media players including Apple's iPod. But Apple has chastised Real for what it calls "tactics and ethics of a hacker," and says future iPod software updates will likely break compatibility with Harmony.

The number to pay attention to is 40 Million why is that important because thats the number of Credit Cards a hacker may have stolen. Yes 40 Million.

I am not surprised and I expect that before long we will be able to visit a website and enter our social security number or our credit card number to just find out if we need to live in fear that our entire world is about to be turned upside down.

I am not sure about you but I think companies should be fined a HUGE outrageous amount of money every time they expose our personal information to the world. That money should be divided equally and given to the people who's data was stolen. Time for someone mainly Congress to get very tough and put down some legislation that has some teeth.

While we are at it scrap all of our SSN numbers and come up with something that can be protected. Better yet lets put a credit alert on every citizen in this country for the next 12 months so that they can raise awareness and get a handle on all of these breaches [BBC]

Realizing the Promise and Potential of African Agriculture
Africa is rich in both natural and human resources, yet nearly 200 million of its people are undernourished because of inadequate food supplies. Comprehensive strategies are needed across the continent to harness the power of science and technology (S&T) in ways that boost agricultural productivity, profitability, and sustainability -- ultimately ensuring that all Africans have access to enough safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs. This report addresses the question of how science and technology can be mobilized to make that promise a reality.

Do you see dead people? Do you believe in ghosts? Extrasensory perception? UFOs and alien abductions? Can faith alone heal what modern medicine cannot? Do you fear demon possession or live in fear of crossing paths with Bigfoot on some dark and lonely road? Do you believe in lucky numbers or that the wandering stars and planets hold dominion over your destiny? Do magnets exhibit mysterious healing qualities? If your answer to one or more of those questions is yes, then take heart: you're far from alone.

Can we really let this happen again?

Ignore the genocide in Darfur,
Sudan, and a million people will die 07/23/2004 06:04 AM
J Moore and others have done for the ongoing genocide in Sudan something similar to what I did for SARS in its infancy. In May they started a group blog, Passion of the Present and have been posting news about the situation in Darfur, with links for more information, daily. The site, Passion of the Present, is a great resource for learning about what it happening in the Sudan, learning about efforts to prevent the ongoing genocide, and suggestions for what people can do to try and stop it. If you haven't seen it, check it out, link to it, and write about it. In case you haven't heard of Darfur, as the Mercy Corps home page says: it is the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today. According to the United Nations, some 2 million people are in desperate need of food and humanitarian aid, and the U.S. Agency for International Development estimates 350,000 people could die in coming months from starvation and disease. But this humanitarian crisis is not the result of natural forces. It is the result of a deliberate campaign by the leaders of the Sudan to destroy the people of Darfur. So far, the campaign looks like it will be successful. It is, as the US House and Senate voted tonight to declare, Genocide. This is not a Democratic or Republican issue, nor a conservative or liberal, issue. A people is being exterminated like termites by their government. Until recently, the world has just watched and made "naughty naughty" noises. Unless the world steps in, hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, of people will die. For those interested in the details, Human Rights Watch recently published a lengthy report on the crisis in Darfur. If you prefer a more impressionistic view, the NYT recently had a first person account of a visit to the refugee camps. A small sample: Two weeks after Colin L. Powell and Kofi Annan visited this part of Sudan in the hope that the glare of diplomatic shame might arrest a human crisis, conditions are still miserable. Days after the American secretary of state and the United Nations secretary general ended their tour, witnesses said, gunmen stormed a girls' school in the desert region of Darfur, chained a group of students together and set the building on fire. The charred remains of eight girls were still in shackles when military...

Live from CeBIT: Siemens CeBIT Videos

Live from CeBIT: Siemens CeBIT Videos 03/14/2005 06:03 PM

Yesterday's sunny, breezy day has been sandwiched between wet, hateful storms, where each sloshing stomp between buildings gives the clouds opporunity to pry open my orifices and dillute the pneumonia sauce already boiling in my lungs. As a reprieve, I have been hiding in Siemens New Media trailer, where I've watched them edit together a bunch of movies documenting Siemens' CeBIT stuff, which they are posting to their site under 'Highlight of the Day' > 'video clips.' (It's a Flash pop-up site, which sucks, but alles kla.)

Disclaimer: I'm here as a guest of Siemens. Nobody told or even asked me to link this, but I wanted to point it out—because I'm a total whore and an ethics-free journalist and you should probably write something really damning and personally insulting on your blog exposing your mom our moral turpitude—and also because I've seen how hard they've been working on it and it's been interesting to see it come together.

Half-male, half-female, all crab

Half-male, half-female, all crab 06/17/2005 03:35 PM
David Pescovitz: Fishermen caught a crab in the lower Chesapeake Bay that's literally half male, half female. Among other differences, male blue crabs have deep blue claws while females' claw tips look like they were painted with red nail polish. The fishermen noticed that this particular crab had one of each. Researchers at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science say that the condition, known as bilateral gynandromorphism, is caused by a "chromosomal mishap." Studying the rare animal could increase understanding of crab sexual development and breeding behavior. From the Washington Post:

Before turning over the crab to the scientists, (boat captain David) Johnson and other watermen conducted their own experiment into its sex life, with bewildering results. They dropped a female crab, which was just about ready to mate, into its tank.

First, the half-and-half crab cradled the female under his legs, as a male crab would do in preparation for mating.

Then, the crab seemed to lose interest in the female and let her go, Johnson said.

Then a day later . . .

"He ate half of her," Johnson said.
