Comment Re:LINUX rounds numbers fine (Score 1) 764

Yeah, I agree. That's why at my job, everyone has a macbook pro for software development, because only a young kid would like it.

No, the reason macbooks are becomming so popular with THINKING ADULTS is the build quality on the macbooks is excellent, and you'd pay a lot of money to move beyond the fragile, hinges-breaking crappy ass plastic that you buy on your cheap-as-shit will break in 9 months disposable notebook. You can also dual boot to linux, if you need to sustain your fragile ego, but OSX runs a different variant of unix perfectly fine, and has a nice GUI on top of it.

Submission + - "Plentiful" non-embryonic stem cells found

An anonymous reader writes: CNN reports that scientists at Harvard and Wake Forest have discovered a "plentiful" non-embryonic source for stem cells, as well brain, liver, and bone cell types as well. The cells, found in amniotic fluid, can be harvested without harm to the donor or the donor's unborn child. While there's no proof that amniotic stem cells are as potent as embryonic stem cells, scientists are hopeful that this will be a huge step forward for the field of stem-cell research.
