Pravda - Science, Soul, Heaven and Supreme Mind
===============================================
http://english.pravda.ru/main/2003/01/08/41749.html
It was shown in my previous articles about the artificial intelligence
and human immortality that the issue of immortality can be solved
fundamentally only with the help of changing a biological bubble of a
human being to an artificial one....

Nature - Market law found?
==========================
http://www.nature.com/nsu/030106/030106-9.html
Researchers in Italy and the United States believe they have finally
uncovered the universal behaviour that governs how supply and demand
create stock prices in economic markets...

Red Herring - Top Ten Trends 2003
=================================
http://www.herring.com/insider/2002/12/10trends-intro121602.html
The Red Herring predicts the business of emerging technology in its
sixth annual top ten trends list - Wireless, Hardware/Software, Venture
Capital, Semiconductors, Nanotechnology, Financial Reporting,
Telecommunications, Biotechnology, Broadcasting, Broadband, Runners Up,
A Look Back. In our sixth annual top ten trends list, Red Herring
continues its tradition of identifying future trends that are grounded
in present reality--not to mention persuasive facts and strong analysis...

New Scientist - 'Gadget printer' promises industrial revolution
==========================================================================
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99993238
The idea of printing a light bulb may seem bizarre, but US engineers are
now developing an ink-jet printing technology to do just that. The
research at the University of California in Berkeley will allow fully
assembled electric and electronic gadgets to be printed in one go. The
trick is to print layer upon layer of conducting and semiconducting
polymers in such a way that the circuitry the device requires is built
up as part of the bodywork. When the technique is perfected, devices
such as light bulbs, radios, remote controls, mobile phones and toys
will be spat out as individual fully functional systems without
expensive and labour-intensive production on an assembly line.

New Scientist - Data stored in multiplying bacteria
===================================================
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99993243
A message encoded as artificial DNA can be stored within the genomes of
multiplying bacteria and then accurately retrieved, US scientists have
shown. Their concern that all current ways of storing information, from
paper to electronic memory, can easily be lost or destroyed prompted
them to devise a new type of memory - within living organisms.

Betterhumans - Human Cloning Backlash Begins: European Union Calls for
Global Ban
=================================================================================
http://www.betterhumans.com/News/news.aspx?articleID=2003-01-08-4
Following dubious announcements by Clonaid and the Raelians, the
European Union is calling for a global ban on human cloning.

Science Blog - Scientists find first active jumping genes in rice
=================================================================
http://www.scienceblog.com/community/article686.html
Researchers studying rice genomes have identified the species first
active DNA transposons, or "jumping genes." The scientists also
discovered the first active "miniature inverted-repeat transposable
element," or "MITE," of any organism. Rice (Oryza sativa), an important
food crop worldwide, has the smallest genome size of all cereals at 430
million base pairs of DNA. About 40 percent of the rice genome comprises
repetitive DNA that does not code for proteins and thus has no obvious
function for the plant...

Tech Central Station - A Smear Continues
========================================
http://www.techcentralstation.com/1051/envirowrapper.jsp?PID=1051-450&CID=1051-010803F
When Bjorn Lomborg's book The Skeptical Environmentalist was published a
little over a year ago it caused an immediate sensation in the United
States and Europe for its unconventionally optimistic take on
environmental matters. At the time, I asked Ronald Bailey, the author
and editor of two books on the environment and the foremost expert in
the United States on the intersection of science policy and political
controversy, what he thought of the book. "Lomborg doesn't have a clue
what's about to happen to him," Bailey said. "I feel sorry for him."
Bailey was right.
