...is that the study shows the superiority of interrupted TMS (as opposed to continuous TMS). The interruptions somehow create a more general reduction in cell inhibitor activity. What is unclear from the article is whether these researchers tested only the inactivation of brain regions, or whether this iTMS "gating" technique is also plausible for the activation of brain areas.
It seems to me that the latter would be more useful in the treatment of depression, since depression is caused by low concentrations of reward hormones.
This would be a valid analogy if guns were meant to expose a critical weakness of the human anatomy. But of course guns are not made with any of this sort of journalistic intent. Firesheep is only an effective medium because many people have used it and brought it into the media spotlight. And while the media's interpretation of its message has generally been, "How can we protect ourselves from this trivial exploit?", the author's intent is undoubtedly to ask why major social websites are not taking these overt security risks seriously.
I think the implication here is that "cyber crime" is a euphemism. For me, the descriptor doesn't negate anything about the crime. I would be more sympathetic to the argument if the term didn't contain 'crime', as in "cyber abuse" or something of the sort. Or if 'cyber' implied 'virtual', like some type of simulated crime.
