...Bush speech that trumped all those triumphs, and that in itself said something. Human beings in a spaceship beat unmanned metal every time, no matter if the metal is up and running and the humans won't fly for years. Even overseas, the speech made news. British bookmakers offered 10-to-1 odds that human beings will not set foot on the moon again before the end of 2015 and 50-to-1 odds against Mars' being reached before 2030 is over. The Chinese had reasons of their own to be interested. On New Year's Day, Beijing announced that...

Apple's Steve Jobs, never at a loss for words, has an answer: "It costs...
They were not difficult to find. Students immediately began to call Aron's psychology lab to volunteer. Mashek weeded out those who had metal in their heads (such as lip, tongue or nose jewelry or braces on their teeth) that would affect the magnet in the fMRI machine. She also excluded those who were claustrophobic, those taking medication that could affect brain physiology, and men and women who were left-handed. Brain organization can vary with handedness, and we needed to standardize our sample as much as possible...
