Appendix has a function after all!

There is report on the science journal regarding the theory of  the role of our appendix, it was proposed that the appendix is the factory for good gem that help digiest our gust. Whenever our body has deficiency in these good gems the appendix will produce the replacement. However the function is not relevant in modern society as we could get good gem from other people.

Although, the function of the appendix is still in the developing world and less croewd region of the world. The inflame appendix still need to be removed as it can kill you.

Attending Adobe Air 1.0 Launch!

I was at the launch of Adobe air 1.0 last night, it was a great night with free Air T-shirt as an incentive for attending - I don't think that is enough free flex builder for all would be nice through! I've heard from the gravewine that Adobe has been given out free flex builder to student in USA; why not in Australia? Are we not important?  Overall the night was OK but lack of lustre and you could only vote with your mobile on the showcase - I didn't have my mobile with me who would have known if you didn't say the invitation!

I'll be posting picture of the launch soon! See you.

Adobe air in perspective

This is a great article on adobe air at NYTIME so checkit out:

SAN FRANCISCO — On sabbatical in 2001 from Macromedia, Kevin Lynch, a software developer, was frustrated that he could not get to his Web data when he was off the Internet and annoyed that he could not get to his PC data when he was traveling.

Why couldn’t he have access to all his information, like movie schedules and word processing documents, in one place?

He hit upon an idea that he called “Kevincloud” and mocked up a quick demonstration of the idea for executives at Macromedia, a software development tools company. It took data stored on the Internet and used it interchangeably with information on a PC’s hard drive. Kevincloud also blurred the line between Internet and PC applications.

Seven years later, his brainchild is about to come into focus on millions of PCs. On Monday, Mr. Lynch, who was recently named the chief technology officer at Adobe Systems, which bought Macromedia in 2005, will release the official version of AIR

3d imaging a reality soon!

Technology invented by scientists from The Johns Hopkins University and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev can make three-dimensional imaging quicker, easier, less expensive and more accurate, the researchers said.

This new technology, dubbed FINCH, for Fresnel incoherent correlation holography, could have implications in medical applications such as endoscopy, ophthalmology, CT scanning, X-ray imaging and ultrasounds, co-inventor Gary Brooker said. It may also be applicable to homeland security screening, 3-D photography and 3-D video, he said.

Do you believe in your Doctor or take a second opinion?

“When I went for a second opinion, my internist got mad,” a physician with lymphoma recently told me. “As if I were his lover and had cheated on him.”

The reaction may be extreme, but it is far from uncommon. Second opinions have undoubtedly saved many lives and are likely to gain in importance with the growing public focus on medical errors. But they can be awkward for doctor and patient, and surprisingly little is known about them.

African Americans less open to epidural for pain

"Epidurals are more effective for relieving postoperative pain, and higher levels of pain have been linked to the development of chronic pain," Ochroch explained in a statement.

"Consequently," he said, "if African Americans are either denied or denying themselves epidural for pain relief, then they may be at greater risk for postoperative complications."

Benefits of Eating Chocolate???

Most people have heard that chocolate is good for you. But now, the medical journal Lancet is bursting the chocolate bubble.

Just in time for the holidays, a Lancet editorial published today notes that there won’t be a “truffle treatment” for heart disease any time soon. In fact, the editors point out that the very thing that makes chocolate good for you — the antioxidants called flavanols – also make chocolate taste bitter. As a result, confectionery makers often take out the flavanols, stripping the chocolate of its main health-promoting properties. Worse, labels usually don’t tell you whether your chocolate comes with or without flavanols, making it tough to know if a particular piece of chocolate has any health benefits at all.
