This reddit comment seems to debunk the foundations of the paper. TL;DR copied below:
TL;DR The experiment has nothing to do with memory as most neuroscientists and psychologists understand it. However, it's much easier to make unsupported statements in a press release than in the peer-review process. The author of the article fell for the press release of a lab known for making outrageous statements.
I find this attitude prevalent in many people my age - early twenties - except that instead of leaving Reddit, they talk about leaving the country. I always think it's a shame, since they are giving up any dissenting voice they may have had in the government.
I think the ideal solution for the bandwidth would be a triggered system...something that flips on the webcam only when there are actually people in the room. Maybe takes a picture every now and then on standby.
That said...I can't think of anything that does that. Might be able to use an IR sensor and AutoHotKey to turn Skype on when you pass in through the doorway and off when you go out.
I'm surprised the PC Decrapfier didn't make it on their list of cleanup apps. I haven't used it in a while (haven't had the money to buy a new computer), but it has served me well in the past.
Just a quick note; in my experience, courses from The Teaching Company don't really teach as much as actual college courses. Being enrolled in a university and watching or listening to TTC lectures on the side gives me a fair basis for comparison, I feel.
They might be equivalent to 100 or 200 level courses, but the lack of interactivity is a huge handicap to learning through TTC lectures.
They really are missing out on a huge demographic by banning the Kama Sutra. Imagine the utility of a touchscreen, vibrating smartphone that can display the kama sutra while it's at it.
It's out if you manually check for updates too. Did they change the font rendering? Either I'm suffering from a placebo effect from my shiny new FF3.5 or everything's prettier.

I haven't tried it myself, but I've been meaning to test out Go-oo, which is purportedly faster. From the site:
"A Faster application
From first-time startup, where we sort I/O to reduce seek cost, to a highly optimised second start application and a systray quick-starter on Linux we are faster. We use less memory than up-stream, we link faster, use better system allocators, and don't waste so much time & memory in the registry. Go-oo performance is hard to beat. "

Considering the physiological difference between humans and chimps, I doubt their effectiveness as coaches, no matter their intelligence.

...who's responsible for the "slashdot sent me! :D" comment?

...there are enough idiots out there without going out and hiring them.
...more worker drones for my homeschooled kids to employ :-P
...largest ever cache of dinosaur remains continues to flow from Deepwater Horizon as crude oil.
Study that, archaeologists!
Where can I buy one?
Rosetta Stone is generally a waste of time.

Oovoo is the most visually assaulting application I have had the displeasure of using in recent times.
Just wait until MS releases a SL clone with Project Natal built-in. Then the simulation scene will get much more interesting.

Then you'll see the benefits.

There is one - the Windows (Ultimate x64 Ed.) Tax that you will have already paid if you buy the Adamo.
That alone would stop me from buying it.
Damn. It's years later and now I finally know the origin for that Red vs. Blue joke.
Right? I hope SETI comes up with something soon. I can't wait to find out what they taste like!
From womens' point of view, I'd imagine the choices are sort of a mix of the two: "Cheap, Attractive, Fast, pick two."

They are one and the same!
About the spindle - would using an SSD drive help?
