...creation of four works of art: Rob Nilsson's 1987 film Heat and Sunlight (60 hours), Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez's 1999 The Blair Witch Project (eight days), George A. Romero's 1968 Night of the Living Dead (six days) and Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451 (49 hours...
...much TV and played too much Nintendo. But his parents, who split when he was young, had infrequent contact. A few schoolmates had been teasing him about his weight. His grades were dropping. His self-esteem was so low he would refuse to take off his shirt in blistering heat for fear of "repelling" family members.

The Laptop Soft-Seat, made of lightweight aluminum, absorbs the excess heat and keeps computers and knees cool. So does a table, but then that was invented a while...
...greatest breakthrough in human history, but it is just a beginning. To get to the good stuff, like gene therapy and hyperefficient drugs, scientists need to analyze the chemistry of 50,000-100,000 proteins encoded by our genes. But proteins are notoriously complex and finicky (a little heat or mishandling, and they break down like Scarlett O'Hara) and need to be treated gingerly in a process that was expected to take decades. Harvard biochemists MacBeath and Schreiber have found a way to speed things up with Protein Microarrays. Using a robotic arm and a tiny quill, they will...

Bush had sent his main man out of the bunker to turn up the heat. Al Gore, over in his bunker, acted like it tickled...
