Teleportation goes long distance
I’ve read about this entanglement stuff in Hawking’s Universe in a Nutshell but I still don’t really understand it.
But it sure sounds like an interesting experiment!

Russian Alien Spaceship Claims Raise Eyebrows, Skepticism
An expedition of Russian researchers claims to have found evidence that an alien spaceship had something to do with a huge explosion over Siberia in 1908. Experts in asteroids and comets have long said the massive blast was caused by a space rock.
The new ET claim is “a rather stupid hoax,” one scientist said today. And it’s one with a rich history.
Another Government Cover-Up, I tell ya!
Building Blocks for a Tiny World
Ribonucleic acid, or RNA, is best known for shuttling messages from deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, to cells. The Purdue researchers programmed RNA molecules to fashion themselves into 3-D spirals, triangles, rods and hairpins, which the researchers say could make good homes for nanoscale machines, according to a report in the August issue of Nano Letters.

How cool is this!? Science fiction becoming science fact!
Because I’m nothing if not fickle, I’ve stopped using AmphetaDesk as my newsreader. Yes, I know I raved about it, and I still think its pretty sweet software, and works across operating systems to boot.
But now I’ve become a NewNewsWire Lite fan. Its Mac OS X only though. But its still free, and it offers both a traditional 3-pane view of your feeds as well as a ‘pop-up’ listing from the dock, a la Slashdock (which is also a great free OS X newsreader, but isn’t really conducive to casual browsing of feeds).
Actually this isn’t as strange a reversal as it might seem, as I liked NetNewsWire a lot when I first tried it, but it costs a fair amount of coin ($40). I never noticed the free “lite” version before (scroll all the way down the page). Thanks to Elaine for pointing it out…
The Race is On: Second Private Team Sets Launch Date for Human Spaceflight
This is a nice overview of The da Vinci Project, the second serious contender for The X Prize. They’re scheduled to launch on Oct 2. SpaceShipOne is flying on Sept. 29th!
It’s going to be an exciting couple of days!
JapanConsuming.com: Apple the fashion brand
Interesting article about how wildly the Japanese are embracing the iPod Mini, and why.

PlayStation 3 to use Blu-ray Disc
Maybe I’m showing my bias, but I think this’ll end up being a big push for Blu-ray over HD-DVD. If Sony sells PS3’s as fast as I suspect its going to, anyway…
