any insight on whether the bullshit headphones rule will soon be relinquished as well???

We need a /. poll to give us an idea of what that number is. I certainly fall into the category of "I would ditch windows for linux or a mac if not for the games."

If you get too cold I'll tax the heat, If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

It would be just as or even more useful to have this 3D tool available for the commonly used animal models in research. Given the cost to do just one single brain, it won't be feasible to analyze healthy brains vs brain suffering from disease X. Even if it was feasible, identifying anatomical abnormalities in disease provides limited insight into the mechanism of the disease... these things are sorted out with other techniques that require the use of animal models. I think this is a nice teaching tool for med/health science students but has limited benefit otherwise.

that the video-games-cause-violence crowd hasn't started incessantly bleating through the media yet...I guess that's reserved only for school/theatre shootings?

yeah it's like patenting the sun because you figured out how to make solar panels.

Gas lobbyist: "Hey buddy, unless your non-gas car magically unplugs itself in the morning, that's another 5 seconds. That's 10 seconds total EVERY DAY...possibly 70 seconds per week! TOO MUCH!! BUY GAS!!"

you can map...MINDS???

The novelty in this work comes from using this gene to restore pacemaker function, ie: the headline should read "Delivery of the gene Tbx18 to heart rebuilds damages pacemaker cells in animal tests". Use of a virus to deliver a gene is a routine procedure in the lab and has been done thousands and thousands of times... the current headline makes it sound like some kind of virus is out there that can improve your heart function, should you happen to be sneezed on by the right person.

we needed a study to confirm this???

I will vote for whoever grows the best moustache in the first 6 days of Movember.

I don't cycle because asshole crackheads have stolen my bike on more than one occasion. Doesn't matter what kind of lock you have, in Toronto (and probably every major city) bike theft is rampant and by far the biggest deterrent for people that would otherwise like to bike to work/school.
