I'd like to add to that by noting that the megapixel war is only a small factor in most photographers' minds, now. The war is really over how many options a camera offers for manipulating light and color reception before even taking the shot, and how easy the options are. Take a look at the controls on the top two cameras: you've got white balance, hue, and color palette, just to name a couple. Also, frame rate and intelligence of autofocus are of huge importance....and, right, the lens is arguably even more important than the camera, itself...

Well, I'm sure that there are some Harvard students that get worse grades than others [at Harvard]. However, I am a little surprised that there are enough students in an Ivy League school having a problem understanding undergraduate biology principles to constitute making a video for them.
You're right: it is a small sample size. But also consider the following:
1. Cancer is often unique to the patient.
2. Scientists around the world are finding new protein and RNA links to cancer all the time, offering us a wider selection of antigens to chose from.
3. The government didn't give the NIH it's usual inflation-determined increase in funding in its last annual budget. So everybody in cancer research has to work with less now.
So, the study may still be promising; but only if we can add more momentum to it.
Scientists have been working on this for years and it's exciting to see that it's finally showing some promise. However, training a patient's immune system to recognize cancer related proteins can be dangerous. The cancer related proteins are often mutated forms of proteins on normal cells and sometimes just normal proteins that are much more prevalent on cancer cells. A mistake could lead to autoimmunity.
I'm speaking from a developer point of view. Wind Waker was fun even without a physical wand to compose with; it's the sword fighting that will enhance the Zelda series (via the Wii remote). However, if you develop a game to use the Wii remote for Harry Potter's spells how many kids (and adults for that matter) do you think will purchase the game?...That's my point. To get an idea, just observe how much profit the Harry Potter books made last year: ($25.57 million) I'm pretty sure it's obvious where to go from there.
Nate Anderson is right to an extent: Building with Legos as a kid involved so much of my time that I did actually eat less (and lose sleep on occasion). But if I could use those legos to deliver dinner to my room, I wouldn't be missing too many meals anymore...
Good point. And, see? Our lexicon is just getting larger, and I would expect anyone whose name or organization became a commonly used addition to a popular lexicon (Such as the English language)would be happy about it. I'm sure Xerox and Kleenex are better off with their appellation immortality.
That's fine... we'll just use "yahoo" (Of course it would be lower case "y") as a verb instead...
*sigh* "I'm going to yahoo that..." -It just doesn't have the same ring to it...
The issue could also be something to do with false accusations: Maybe the DHS wants to avoid pulling innocent bystanders into court when illegal opperations are "laundered" through their computers. This would go hand in hand with PFI Optix' response, which suggests that the government (even though they are invading our privacy anyways) wants to avoid the added cost of dealing with falsly accused citizens and the potential for increased opposition to the Patriot Act.
From the article:"'We want people to fall in love with their PCs, not to simply use them to be productive and successful,' reads the enclosed booklet."
Microsoft's only hope, in this case, is that everyone thinks that viewing porn is synonomous with being "productive and successful".

Um, how about, RTFA? ... The third link gives you a breakdown of the history.

Add in couple of lawyers and talk show host and I think it would be safe to say that Nigerians are finally becoming Americanized...

*GASP* Harry Potter's wand!
Furthermore, Where does Duke Nukem Forever fit into all this??
