I like Cold Play... English indy rock stuff. "Yellow" has gotten some airplay in the states. The samples on this site suck though. You might want to search for them elsewhere... Coldplay |

If you want to build a molecular-scale computer chip, or a minuscule sensor that detects the slightest whiff of an airborne toxin, you're going to need some tiny builders to help put these gadgets together. In Friday's issue of the journal Science, researchers in Texas show how they hired a virus as their nano-construction worker. ... Millions of viruses in solution can line up and stack themselves into layers, creating a material that flows like a liquid but maintains an internal pattern. By changing the solution's concentration or applying a magnetic field, scientists can force new patterns and create different liquid crystal structures. Viruses could do all the tedious and fine work of creating a highly organized nanomaterial. ... The team will spend the next year trying to make simple devices out of this material, with the hope that these materials can be used in self-assembling computer chips, optical devices and sensors that detect biowarfare agents or chemicals.

"The third annual CanSecWest conference is scheduled to be held on May 1-3 2002 in Vancouver B.C. Canada. This conference focuses on newly emerging information security research, with a balance of both topics on auditing and pen-testing as well as security and defensive strategies." This looks like a very good con... Shame I missed it... cansecwest 2002 |

"Ann Brick of the ACLU, which filed an amicus brief in the case on Nike's behalf, said the majority's analysis was "very disappointing." "It essentially shuts business speakers out of the public debate on any issue that directly affects them. That kind of analysis is absolutely antithetical to the basic First Amendment principle that we let the people, not the government, decide who's right and who's wrong on an issue of public dispute." Kasky v. Nike Inc., 02 C.D.O.S. 3790, began when Marc Kasky filed a private attorney general action claiming that Nike violated California laws prohibiting unlawful business practices and false advertising by issuing press statements refuting claims that workers in Nike's Southeast Asian factories toiled in slave-like conditions. Kasky said those statements were deliberately deceptive. " PR Campaigns Lose Speech Protection |
