Be careful. Anxiety is a common side effect only at the beginning of SSRI treatment. Once serotonin receptors down-regulate to accommodate the new levels of extra-cellular serotonin, steady-state is reached and the anxiety usually abates. U

Interesting behavioral study. However, the Scientific American authors make the conclusions appear a lot more concrete than they actually are. Previously, researches have found that fluoxetine (Prozac) actually suppresses neuronal growth in

I'm 99% sure this site is some sort of parody or joke. After all, this is what it looks like on my iPhone: http://i.imgur.com/KNqzy.png And searching 'TechCrunch' for 'Mobilova' returns zero results, despite Mobilova's claim that they wer

For the same reason you don't negotiate with terrorists: If Apple pays up without a fight, then patent trolls everywhere will begin suing iOS devs with hopes of being acquired by Apple.

It depends on 1) the IR attenuation of the filter and 2) the sensitivity of the camera element to IR. IR filters can only attenuate incoming IR so much while still allowing nearby red wavelengths through. And any filter will have a non-flat

Tread very, very lightly if you plan on going this route. Be absolutely sure that your e-mails have real content in them (i.e. this is progress we've made, we just closed X deal, etc.) that can be easily digested. The goal shouldn't be to m

It seems very unlikely to me that they'd switch the MacBook line to ARM and rely on an emulation layer to run current applications. ARM processors are getting faster all of time, but catching up to full Intel CPUs is going to be a very diff

I think the best schedule would be a mix of enforced office hours (Monday through Wednesday, for example) combined with letting employees work from home (or coffee shops, etc.) for the rest of the week if they so choose. The enforced office

So the software identifies the song being played, reports the song back to a master server to determine the rightful owner, then displays an advertisement from which the revenue is shared with the copyright owner? Why would any pirate even

This is truly disappointing. It's unfortunate when a large company can exercise such tight control over information about their products. As far as I know, Hotz never violated Sony's copyright. He just pointed out a flaw in their system tha

Interesting. I would have figured their margins were massive, given the fact that they could collect far more from selling 'bids' than the price of the product. Then again, unethical companies tend to be run by unethical people. I wouldn't
