Review: Between the iPhone and the Instinct, the iPhone wins because itâ?"s relatively simple to use and because of the vivid visual experience and multi-touch screen it offers, which makes it a pleasure to maneuver around the screen

Apple's new iPhone, released July 11, is being challenged by Samsung's Instinct, which came on the market in late June.

Tracey Emin at the Royal Academy

As my editor will confirm, I will usually do everything I can to avoid writing about the Royal Academy’s summer show. Not just because it is such a tawdry event, full of such average art, or because the displays are so crowded and higgledy-piggledy that you cannot actually see if the art is better than average, or because most of the country’s best artists (Lucian Freud springs to mind, and Damien Hirst) are not academicians. Those are all factors, but the chief reason I avoid it is that I always end up saying the same things about it. It’s always lousy. It doesn’t change.

Why I'm interested in Open Source

Because it's having a distorting effect on the rest of the industry. I'm afraid I don't buy the argument (nor would I have to, but you get what I mean) that all software should be free, as Richard Stallmann would so dearly like. Any more than I would agree that all music should be free, or indeed that my plumber should pop round tomorrow and fix the dripping bath tap. It's a laudable goal of course, as is world peace and the nirvanic state where everyone just gets on. But its just not going to happen, because various elements of human nature—good and bad—won't let it.

Why Bad Credit Personal Loans help you

MediaDefender Makes Both Legal and Illegal Downloads Available - Approaching the piracy issue from both ends makes things confusing

MediaDefender is an anti-piracy business that is known primarily because it’s hired by organizations like RIAA and MPAA to put illegal downloads online in order to trap people who are engaged in illegal filesharing. However, that’s not all that MediaDefender is about. They’re also in the business of offering legal P2P downloads. They’ve done this for awhile (they paired up with Sprint and Atlantic Records last year to offer branded P2P song downloads) but they appear to be getting more aggressive in moving forward with this part of the business. Perhaps that’s because their recent efforts at anti-piracy have taken down legitimate sites and placed them in a lot of hot water. Still, you have to wonder, how is a user supposed to know if a file placed online by MediaDefender is legal or illegal to download?

Dioxin risk in soil and plant tissues after long-term biosolids application

Land application of biosolids (treated municipal sewage sludge) is a common practice because biosolids are a rich source of plant nutrients and organic matter. However, the presence of detectable levels of dioxins in biosolids led to concerns that farmland application may result in accumulation of dioxins in soil and their subsequent translocation through the human food chain because several congeners of dioxins have extremely high bioaccumulation potential. The USEPA evaluated the risk of dioxins in land applied biosolids and concluded that dioxins from this source do not pose a significant risk to human health or the environment. However, there is very little information available on the effect of long-term application of biosolids on accumulation of dioxins in soil and uptake by plants.
