...acids and other organic compounds. One possible application: diamond-based electrodes, implanted under the skin, that could be designed to react chemically in the presence of certain proteins. Already, researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed such a prototype for detecting levels of a protein critical to nerve-cell activity...
...number,'' the man at the entry desk said. ''You'll no longer use your name, not even to the guards. Your number is 1806.'' I was taken out through another gate and into a two-story building where women prisoners were housed. The guard took me to a cell, then pushed the bolt back with a loud clang.

In other words, the PDA is on the cusp of becoming must-have, ivory tower “bling,” a nauseating prospect...
...gives advertisers more leeway in targeting specific geographic areas. A pizza-shop owner can pinpoint his pitch to local diners who search for pepperoni, for instance. "Geo-targeting is huge," says Neisser. The company is also adding a mobile search tool that will eventually extend Panama's reach to cell phones. The new services should help Yahoo! close the revenue-per-search gap, although the improvement probably won't show up on its balance sheet until midway through...
