I read the article. The plant still produces a similar, related methylxanthine compound, theobromine. Drinking the tea will still have many of the effects of caffeine.
His whole expertise is devoted to exploiting his users (classic advertising). His personal technical abilities are weak. If you peel away the propaganda he is just another Mad Man (with their same lack of humility).
Pharmacyclics (the developers of ibrutinib/Imbrivica) is actually now owned by Abbvie, which is the pharmaceutical company spun off from Abbott Laboratories. Abbott achieved fame in 2003 when it increased the cost of their HIV medication, Norvir, 5-fold when it found that doctors were combining the smaller pill size version with other drugs. This is just history repeating itself.
There are already very nice versions of the text. I have the Green Lion Press version (less than $20 new). If you want absolutely everything, the Dover Books 3 volume set is near-definitive and cheap (and available as eBook). The text has been around for centuries so adding colour doesn't help that much. The publisher's efforts could be better spent on other worthwhile tasks.
I still have an old supermarket-purchased slide rule from my days at school (I was schooled at the juncture between slide rules/log tables and pocket calculators). After reading Cliff Stoll's article (http://www.uvm.edu/~pdodds/files/papers/others/2006/stoll2006a.pdf) I treated myself to a Faber-Castell 2/83N and I have to agree that it is *beautiful*. On my desk at work I keep its miniature cousin, a 62/83N prominently displayed.
This subject seems to get pushed here ridiculously frequently. Every story is excessively shrill in support of Uber, with no objectivity (on Slashdot, hah!) or balance. Is some of Uber's big budget being spent here on astroturfing?
At the NY MOMA exhibit (sadly static) I saw dozens of people explaining to their kids how the boards updated with a clacka-clacka-clacka. I could see the nostlagia in their eyes. For some reason the kids didn't see the connection between this and the airport monitors typically displaying the "Windows has encountered a problem and needs to be restarted" dialogue.
My guess is that e.g. the "BER" is from numBER or novemBER or somesuch. I have no idea if the LINC computer was important enough to be immortalised here. However, no luck looking for quotations with e.g. octoBER LINC LOCK... etc.
Maybe a bit longer that you want, but the UNIX 6th Edition source code, as presented in John Lions' commentary book is excellent reading. Clean, functional code with some well-documented "wow" moments.
On one flight I had the misfortune to watch the atrocious remake of The Italian Job. Paramount spent a significant amount of that film bashing Napster and Shawn Fanning.
Drug companies often find that biological science from academia cannot be reproduced (or is much less robust than indicated. Amgen and Bayer have both published on this topic, and when they called the researchers to ask why, they were told that the bettter results had been picked for the publication. Reuters article
Plus they are doing it at the behest of their evil human overlords, so this is MURDER, rather than "suicide"....but "NASA murders their worker [robots]" probably isn't the kind of headline they'd like.
Every time I look at him he reminds me of the creepy Burger King king mascot. Hmm.. I see that Burger King actually retired him at about the same time Occupy started. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Maybe the editor was a Steinbeck fan.
How many others mis-read this as promising a steel pavement, and thus levitating vehicles.

Anyone who uses "phenomena" in the singular just can't be trusted.
50 micron dot + 25 micron separation = 75 microns per bit, not 100.
I can hear the Brontitall foot soldiers approaching (painfully) now...

The obvious conclusion is that people tend to cluster around scientists and engineers - they follow us wherever we go. Fear our Pied Piper powers!

Promoted "only" four times in 12 years?! Yikes! In my industry (biotech) that would be extremely rare. I am jealous.
...and other science facts. Just repeat to yourself "It's just a show"...
...apart from Bing.
In one of the episodes, which featured a biography of the family, they are described explicitly as a north Kentucky family. As evidence you'll see Shelbyville, KY http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Shelbyville,+KY just north of Springfield http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Springfield,+KY and there's even a place called Simpsonville http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Simpsonville,+KY just west of Shelbyville. I have no idea why they want to change their story now.
