...have a mainly-female Facebook group devoted to you. Were you aware of this?GT: No.THC: Do you know what the Facebook is?GT: No.THC: But, back to the hair care question, do you have a specific haircut that you request? Or is it sort of the whim of the barber?GT: That’s the most important thing, it seems to me, for men. For women, it’s a lot more complicated isn’t it? But for men it’s to get a good cut.

When TV shows become something you order at whim from a cable box, or take on a plane, or carry in your pocket, what is TV? What is a network?

Ritesh Agarwal, a former Harvard postdoctoral associate, published a paper this week in Optics Express on a new technique for assembling and arranging nanowires, which are smaller than any circuitry currently available, even on microchips. The ability to construct specific, three-dimensional, nano-scale devices at the whim of a researcher has until this week been elusive. Because nanowires also have the ability to direct light, they have potential applications in “optoelectronic” devices, which use light instead of electricity to do computations. Agarwal, working with Professors David G. Grier...
...hate Brenda Walsh, or more particularly the actress who plays her on TV's Beverly Hills 90210. That was easy. Old boyfriends called her rage prone, co-workers called her snotty, landlords called her a deadbeat. Unfortunately, marrying ; the 19-year-old son of George Hamilton -- on a girlish whim -- did nothing to help Shannen appear mature. Said to be generally just too much of a pain, she reportedly won't be asked back...
