Jury: Techies No Longer Incomprehensible Geeks

The strategy was employed in the defense of Hans Reiser, a computer programmer on trial for allegedly murdering his estranged wife. The case was an unusual one: There was no body and no crime scene. All the police had was a missing woman and extremely odd behavior by Reiser, who had removed a seat from his car and hosed down the interior. Police also found a sleeping-bag cover with his wife’s blood on it and two books on murder investigations in the car. (Wired has had a reporter in the court room throughout the trial, making it the go to source for all things Reiser.)

THz laser source shines at room temperature

Does Fishing On Drifting Fish Aggregation Devices Endanger The Survival Of Tropical Tuna?

Biologists studying tropical tuna fisheries aimed to establish if the use of drifting fish aggregation devices (FADs), a technique employed increasingly for industrial-scale tuna fishery, could act as just such an ecological trap for these species. Examination revealed that the tuna species caught from under the floating objects were less healthy than those taken from free schools. Results suggested that the tuna, in following the artificial rafts, move away from their usual migration routes, which leads them into ecologically less appropriate waters.

Study Finds Instant Messaging Helps Productivity

MojoKid writes "Researchers at Ohio State University and the University of California, Irvine conducted a telephone study by randomly surveying individuals employed full-time who use computers in an office environment at least five hours per week. They netted 912 respondents, of which 29.8 percent claimed to use IM in the workplace 'to keep connected with coworkers and clients.' Neither occupation, education, gender, nor age seem to have an impact on whether an individual is an IM user or not. The study theorizes that using IM enables individuals to 'flag their availability.' Doing so can limit when IM interruptions occur. Even if an IM interruption comes when it is not necessarily convenient to the recipient, it is 'often socially acceptable' to ignore an incoming message or respond with a terse reply stating that the recipient is too bu
