  1. Escape from the Universe

    Science · Space · · posted by CmdrTaco · from the stars-bruce-willis-in-theaters-summer-2006 dept. · 630 comments
    rleyton writes "Prospect Magazine is carrying an excellent article "Escape from the Universe": The universe is destined to end. Before it does, could an advanced civilisation escape via a "wormhole" into a parallel universe? The idea seems like science fiction, but it is consistent with the laws of physics and biology. Here's how to do it."

  2. A Fully Distributed Power Grid?

    Tech · Technology · · posted by michael · from the no-smoking dept. · 389 comments
    rleyton writes "There's an interesting and topical black-out article on an "internet inspired" hydrogen powered energy network. The premise is homes, cars, factories and offices store up hydrogen when energy is available, and supply it into the new energy network when it's not. Certainly an intriguing idea, with some interesting comments on future power management. Feasible in the next "three decades"? Perhaps."

  3. Codeweavers Releases Crossover Office

NewsForge got hold of a final beta copy a couple of days ago and has a Crossover Office review up already, and DesktopLinux.com has one too. This looks pretty cool, yes. Now if a PHB tells you can't run Linux, because you need Office - tell him you'll save money by not needing a Windows license, and call still use Office.

    rleyton writes: "Nature and the The BBC are reporting that scientists have successfully transplanted frozen organs. This could be huge for fertility treatment, and for meeting demand for organ transplants - There aren't enough donors to meet demand."

  5. Interview With iMac designer, Jonathan Ive

    rleyton writes "The Independent has an interesting interview with Jonathan Ive, the designer of the new imac (and the iBook, the iPod and original iMac...)" It's actually a pretty interesting even if you think the new iMac is repulsive. Personally I dig it.
