There are reports that satellites have aided scientists in confirming why the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) exists. 'New data from NASA's Themis mission, a quintet of satellites launched this winter, found the energy comes from a stream of charged particles from the sun flowing like a current through twisted bundles of magnetic fields connecting Earth's upper atmosphere to the sun.
That's not true at all. It happens when you're cooking steamed hams, and your kitchen catches on fire.
A case of Brawndo runs $40 for 24 cans, or about $1.70 per. Isn't that... pricey?
Not really. Considering a 20oz Coke runs $1.25 around here (or $2 per can for an 8oz Red Bull), and then add in the royalty they're paying to Mike Judge/FOX to use the BRAWNDO name (you did want Mike Judge to get paid, right?), and it makes sense.
What strikes me is that so many parties were infringing upon the patent, and yet you need very few organisations to file an opposition. Why are not more patents opposed?

In yet another small step toward realistic quantum computing Australian researchers have developed a light based 4-qubit quantum computer.
4 qubits? How much is that in furlongs?

The NYT and news.com have up an article looking back at the NSFnet's influence on the development of the internet.

MRAM are expected to generate new value and applications for future electronic devices thanks to their nonvolatility
That is, assuming they're not manufactured by Sony.
Spintronics is the field of research into developing devices that rely on electron spin rather than electron charge to carry information.
