"The human body has a remarkable capacity to heal itself. Small cuts and bruises vanish in days. The immune system drives off viruses and harmful bacteria.
But injuries to large organs from trauma or disease are often beyond the body's ability to repair. For these tasks, surgeons have turned to synthetics like Gore-Tex and Dacron to patch the damage. But those materials are less than ideal, experts say."

Fight Aging! - More Thoughts on Open Source / Garage Biotechnology:
"Know-how is expensive, of course, but not as expensive as you might think. If the cost of entry is low (a low cost, high power computer, some general smarts, an investment of time) then someone with 1/10 of a high-level professional biotech know-how can produce useful results at 1/10 of the rate and effectiveness of the professionals. If they mess up, then they mess up - in simulation rather than with real genes in real organisms. Experimentation and diversity will be the order of the day when the only cost is the time of dedicated citizen scientists and the only downside is that some of that time will be wasted. Useful progress may be slow for each individual, but many, many people will be qualified to participate."

But as pop culture has grown more obsessed with kewl gadgets and cyborg superheros, the idea of having technology visibly integrated with your flesh has recently become much more acceptable -- and even kinda cool."

"THE most complex object known to humanity is the human brain—and not only is it complex, but it is the seat of one of the few natural phenomena that science has no purchase on at all, namely consciousness. To try to replicate something that is so poorly understood may therefore seem like hubris. But you have to start somewhere, and IBM and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Switzerland, propose to start by replicating “in silico”, as the jargon has it, one of the brain's building blocks."

We are lulled into this idea by the seeming unity of our consciousness: our various thoughts and perceptions all knitted into a seamless whole."

It allows users to pick up information from a device simply by touching it. The information is then stored in a compact gadget worn on a wristband, and is transferred when the user touches another device. Very weak currents are used to transmit data across the skin's surface, and the data-transfer rate, a mere 3.7 kilobits per second, is much slower than a dial-up modem."

"We mentioned in our first coverage of Shuttle's Pentium M solution at CES that the solution was going to launch with support for a CableCard reader.

"Talks between Apple and Intel regarding processors may have nothing to do with future Macs, analysts agree.
Along with its x86 processors, Intel also makes a variety of chips for different uses. One of these, the IOP 331 is already used within Apple's Xserve RAID. Intel also makes, or will make, chips to drive WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) and wireless USB products."

BusinessWeek - How Putin May Hang On To Power:
"Russian President Vladimir V. Putin's second presidential term doesn't end for three more years. Yet Russian media are already buzzing with speculation about what's called ``the 2008 problem'' -- the question of who will replace Putin, and how the succession will come about. While Putin's grip on power is strong, the Kremlin has been closely watching recent anti-government protests in Uzbekistan, which followed popular revolts that toppled authoritarian leaders in Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan."
