...billion-dollar buyout offer from Yahoo! last year--might become not just the hottest tech IPO since Google but also the next major stage in the Web's evolution. First there was the browser, then the search engine. Now we'll move on to what Zuckerberg calls the "social graph," the filter of personal connections that defines Facebook...
...shouldn't have been, but it was. Science thrives on order: tidy laboratories and plenty of graph paper. Catastrophe dwells in chaos. No matter how much we learn, scientifically, about the behavior of flames or the criminal mind or the dynamics of war, chaos still has its dominion. We fill the gap between science and chaos, between the known risks and the unknowable dangers, with bravery...
...times. But there's been no year more momentous than 1953. Until then, scientists had equated sleep with flicking off a desk lamp. For more than two decades they'd been able to record brain activity in sleep, but the feeling was, why bother? Why waste reams of costly graph paper making electroencephalogram recordings of what was thought to be a neurological desert? With no strong expectation of finding otherwise, University of Chicago researchers Eugene Aserinski and Nathaniel Kleitman decided it was worth doing, monitoring 10 subjects in a laboratory. Their findings turned our understanding of the sleeping brain upside...
Underscoring the need for continued expansion, Knowles presented a bar graph showing last year’s ratio of 14.6 students per “ladder” faculty—tenured and tenure-track professors—as compared to 9.9 students at Yale (in 2004-2005) and 10.7 students at Princeton. Stanford and UC Berkeley, on the other hand, were shown to compare unfavorably with Harvard’s ratio...
...gaining traction (the headlines appear bigger). And don't miss the new Digg Labs page, offering two visual alternatives to displaying the same info: Swarm http://labs.digg.com/swarm) which looks like a cluster map, and Stack http://labs.digg.com/stack) which resembles more of an expanding and contracting bar graph. Watch the hype as it actually happens...
