...female, according to creator Xing Li, 24, a computer programmer who lives in Los Angeles and calls the site "strictly a hobby." Registration is free but permitted only if you click the box marked "I'm at least 13" (there's no accounting for dishonest answers). Writers upload stories directly to the site, assigning a category and rating from G to NC-17. There's no screening process, no editorial board; most features are automated, and Li relies on members to report inappropriate behavior (he has booted a few troublemakers). Anyone can post anything, then sit back and wait...
...such a blazingly fast and useful connection, it can download a hundred songs a minute and recharge the iPod at the same time. Even better, iPod is smart enough to know when you have put new MP3 files on your Mac--from your CDs or from the Internet--and upload them automatically...
...amateurs who have nothing better to do with their time than share their musical wisdom with the world. Even if you've never wielded a microphone, you can set up your own Live365.com channel.

Laws designed to ensure that Web radio can't function as a Napsterish file-sharing system forbid...
...attack site are minimal. Dr. Kim Holland of the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology at the University of Hawaii has been monitoring tiger movements with the CHAT (Communicating History Acoustic Transponder) tag. Implanted in belly walls to log the shark's position and depth, the CHAT tags upload their information to underwater receivers, usually placed in shallow bays, which are retrieved every three weeks. "We know they don't stake out declared territories. They are inter-island travelers," says Holland...
...After six months, the tiny computer in the tag sends an electric current through a magnesium burn wire, which dissolves in the seawater and allows the tag to pop up to the surface. The tag transmits a GPS locator signal, and when satellites get a fix on it, they upload all the archived data of the shark's movements. The distances are likely to be huge. A shark tagged in Australia in a similar experiment this year traveled more than 1,800 miles along the country's coast in three months...
