Prospective cohort study of cannabis use, predisposition for psychosis, and psychotic symptoms in young people Conclusion: Cannabis use moderately increases the risk of psychotic symptoms in young people but has a much stronger effect in those with evidence of predisposition for psychosis.

Yes, the network is NOT the computer. Neither is the cloud.
The COMPUTER is the computer
The network is the network. The cloud... well, its 'cloudy' definition seems to be: "always-on network connectivity to remote services"
Computational elements at the end of a network, or in a network path, are just remote services for an end-user's device.
Try using email WITHOUT a 'native' client (e.g. an IPad,IPhone, email app) -- these cache authentication credentials, hold recently downloaded emails, allow you to compose and spell check regardless of network connectivity, provide fully functional copy/paste functionality.
That's why the IPad's email client is not Safari, and why most companies prefer Outlook to GMail's enterprise offering, and why Google developed Gears.
One part of the article is extremely hard to fathom: "For some reason, the rationale behind wired-line caps (cable modems, DSL) is harder to fathom than cellular ones. It just doesn’t seem like a few more megabytes should cost Comcast anything; it’s just bits flowing."

No, nuclear power is not "safe." Any technology where accident causes emergency personnel to have to get cancer to prevent a fully evacuated plant causing even more cancer in people tens of kilometers away is not "safe"
Personal anecdote: while the docks fit, the ports are not (fully) backwards compatible.
My IPhone 3GS (~2-years old) refuses to charge from an audio base station bought for my previous-generation IPod (~ 4 years old) -- placing it in the dock pops up an error on the phone that says "Charging is not supported for this accessory"

And they need paid lobbyists to do that?
Politicians may as well auction off their policy positions on their website... "$10000 to my re-election fund bans toxic waste, Or not."
Anyway, that's besides the point. The simplest thing to do would in this case would be to ban any paid work (for a "cooling off" period) for any entity you had government authority over. This hiatus helps undue influence cool off, and hinders possible abuses of authority (Commissioner: "I am looking into your merger plans. By the way, does your firm hire lobbyists... I'm thinking of a career shift in a few months". Company: "Uh, yes - you'll have to wait 2 years though". Commissioner:"Okkkay").

I am not so sure photosynthesis is inefficient.
In one-quadrillionth of a second a plant can take the sun’s light and transfer it to the chlorophyll molecules (which give the plant its green pigmentation) in its light-harvesting centre. This process, a critical component of photosynthesis, is the most efficient energy-transfer process known, yet in many ways it is still poorly understood.

Lava lamps?
Walk into work tomorrow then, and threaten to quit unless they turn off the surveillance cameras.
if your employer similarly monitors work emails, I expect you will save your own dignity by refusing to work there.

Before this, he was the COO of Juniper Networks, the president of worldwide field operations at Adobe Systems, and the CEO of Macromedia until acquisition by Adobe.
