Back To School: Microsoft OneNote is a Note-Taking Power Tool (40)
on Lifehacker (36912) permalinkAlthough being a student isn't a requirement for using Microsoft's note-taking application OneNote, the software's robust data capture and collaboration components lend themselves well to an academic environment. OneNote can replace multiple physical notebooks, binders, and collections of paper notes with a single streamlined, search indexed, tabbed and subdivided master notebook. Whether you're a student taking notes in class or an employee taking notes in company meetings, check out just how useful OneNote can be. ...Shared by abbas vahedi (34) Abhishek (60) Andre Siregar (33) Bernardo (94) besighyawn (134) Brian Cuban (2212) Cade (209) Canopusoheil (112) Christian (23) Christopher (82) daisylinbluez (135) dd (56) Digg Boss (827) Dominic Foster (415) Hasan (199) Ian Benedict (66) Jay (93) John (68) John (23) Jonnie (30) Jordan (58) Kenny (34) mac the mac (23) Mike Davies (13) MrGuff (125) Murali (16) Patty (850) Ryan (67) Ryan (86) Shawn (67) Sid (56) Srinvard (288) Syng Shin (310) The Mason Technologist (45) Thomas (33) Tim (183) travisccook (16) Ullash (137) Vincenzo (183) Zak M.

Whoa, the stuff in pot kills germs (8)
on Scientific American (873) permalinkGood news for potheads making their annual trek to Black Rock, Nev., this week to celebrate Burning Man: A new study says that marijuana appears to fight infections. According to research published in the Journal of Natural Products, the five most common cannabinoid compounds in weed--tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol, cannabigerol, cannabinol and cannabichromene--can kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Think MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), which claimed more lives than AIDS in 2007 or, more recently, extensively drug-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis ...Shared by Braden Kowitz (25) Carrie Jaeger (36) Christian (23) Daemach (88) dedlam (88) G.

on Scientific American (873) permalinkFor the second year in a row, the fabled Northwest Passage has opened in the Arctic--thanks to a sea-ice melt that has already shrunk the polar cap to the second smallest extent ever recorded. And with a few more weeks to go in the summer thaw season, 2008 could surpass 2007 as the smallest amount of sea ice on record, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).

- Jorge said: This is a nice detail on how to set up Wii homebrew and DVD playback. I've been running the Homebrew Channel for a couple of months now. I rented Zelda from Blockbuster to install it (f'n $8 for a 5-day rental). By far my favorite Wiibrew app is FCE Ultra, the classic NES emulator. The Wiimote works great for it since the system only had two buttons. It's really nice to have the SD available for installing new Wii homebrew (like the DVD player) as it comes along. I haven't tried the DVD player yet, but I may soon.
