Human cloning 'flawed'
Human cloning may never be possible because of a quirk of biology.

"A sad day for the national pride of the engineering classes"

Boost for British neutron lab
"A new range of technological applications are envisaged, from super-fast computers, data storage and sensors to pharmaceuticals."

Eastern division falls to marines
American marines in eastern Iraq say they have taken control of an Iraqi military division headquarters without a fight.
The marines used psychological operations to take Iraqi positions.
Difícil acreditar, já que ninguém viu se eles realmente tomaram as cidades e se elas foram tomadas sem dar um tiro sequer.

Mas se for verdade, que arma interessante (e aterradora) é essa para o futuro.

Toma-lá-dá-cá, mas tudo do mesmo lado:
Operação oficial: Massacre in Gaza: seven Palestinians killed, 50 wounded, Abu Mazin face internal pressures
Operação não-oficial: Jewish Group Probed for Blast at Palestinian School

Guess who's back... back again?

Computers that watch while you work
Canadian researchers have designed a computer that pays attention to the person using it.

Aim to create 'sensitive' PCs
Computers that can recognise and understand human emotions could be about to move a step nearer.

Games to take your breath away
A lot of computer games are breath-taking to play, but few more so than the one developed by scientists at Dublin's Media Lab Europe.
Instead of using a joystick or mouse to control on-screen characters the game uses sensors stuck to a player's body.

"...Iraqi children stand beside highways with outstretched hands, begging for food, water and cigarettes. But they are often wary of the American and British soldiers. After the graham crackers have been devoured and the strangers have departed, they sometimes throw rocks and make obscene gestures."

'This is just a scene from hell'

Prime number breakthrough
Meus professores de Matemática da Universidade estão corretos (damn them):
"To tackle this problem, Goldston did what clever mathematicians do when they want to solve a difficult problem - they avoid it. Or rather, he approached the dilemma by first tackling a more manageable piece of the problem."
