Re: Another study show cell-phone tumor link
From Futurelab's Blog at MIT, a story about how brain damage -- whether *from* cell phone use or *causing* excessive self-important cell phone use -- might eventually be repaired: Researchers at the University of Padua in Italy have developed neuro-chips in which living brain cells and silicon circuits are coupled together. The scientists squeezed more than 16,000 electronic transistors and hundreds of capacitors onto a silicon chip just 1 millimeter square in size. They used proteins found in the brain to glue neurons onto the chip. The proteins acted as more than just a simple adhesive. The proteins allowed the neuro-chip's electronic components and its living cells to communicate with each other. Electrical signals from neurons were recorded using the chip's transistors, while the chip's capacitors were used to stimulate the neurons. http://blog.futurelab.net/2006/03/brain_cells_fused_with_compute.html Dave ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

I think I've got a decent space of wall for that sort of thing. Stand behind the child gate and throw the dart. Julia ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
RFID problems
http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-3513_7-6466679-1.html?tag=nl.e501 First paragraph: This is a story of a container at a major shipping port. This particular container is marked with an RFID tag, a label with a tiny embedded radio transmitter that broadcasts a short string of data--anywhere from 256 to 1,024 bytes. But in addition to this container holding fresh Florida oranges, its RFID tag holds a virus: an SQL injection code. As the container passes by the shipping port's RFID reader, data from the contents of the container along with the malicious code are fed to the back-end database, corrupting if not crippling it. Now the port system is compromised. And as the container is washed and refilled and sent somewhere else, the malicious code (now a part of the RFID system) is also imprinted on other RFID tags on other containers, spreading the infection. Sounds like a cheap technothriller plot, doesn't it? Unfortunately, it's not. It's the basis of a new research paper out of the Netherlands, and the implications could be huge. Interesting.
