Monsanto: genetic modification - just say no
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, January 03 2013 @ 04:45 PM EST

It looks like Monsanto needs to go back to the drawing board.

It seems the GM (genetically modified) cucumbers cause a certain level of baldness.... oops.

And some wonder why I'm of the opinion we (as a species) know next to nothing about genetics and shouldn't be messing with it.

It's bad enough (in my humble opinion) we're building chemical chains which are having adverse effects which don't occur if we just stuck to the natural versions. To be clear: Yes, I'm of the opinion pharmaceutical vitamins/minerals = bad, natural = good.

Sawyer Schools in RI and Conn
Authored by: jplatt39 on Thursday, January 03 2013 @ 05:30 PM EST
SFGate is reporting a chain of private vocational schools in RI and Connecticut shut down suddenly at the start of the year. This story is getting more and more interesting: and given the importance so many people seem to put into this model for continuing education it is frankly disturbing.

Write Gambling Software, Go to Prison
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, January 03 2013 @ 08:32 PM EST
In a criminal case sure to make programmers nervous, a software maker who licenses a program used by online casinos and bookmakers overseas is being charged with promoting gambling in New York because authorities say his software was used by others for illegal betting in that state.

New York authorities say that about $2.3 million that Robert Stuart and his company, Extension Software, received in cash and money orders for licensing his software constitutes direct proceeds of illegal, U.S.-based bookmaking operations.

“These defendants abetted large-scale illegal gambling in the U.S. and abroad,” said District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr.

Microsoft lashes out at Google’s decision to spurn Windows Phone
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, January 03 2013 @ 08:42 PM EST
"Google continues to prevent Microsoft from offering consumers a fully
featured YouTube app [among other] for the Windows Phone."

Waitaminute... Microsoft is complaining because Google indirectly spurned
*both* Windows Phone users? Wow, that's harsh.
