Sylvester James Gates, Jr.

From Wired Magazine pbs.org

Pioneering new territory.

When Science Emulates Nature and Vice Versa

I knew this all along! Yah right.

Still I found this theory to be incredibly inspiring.
clipped from www.pbs.org

Gates is widely recognized for his ability to communicate the complex ideas at the forefront of theoretical physics to a general audience. During a PBS interview, he summed up his feelings about science this way, “trying to understand the most fundamental structure and issues for our universe—is a birthright for all of us. For me there is a personal joy in participating in that adventure. It belongs to everybody, just like great art and great music belongs to everybody. Great science belongs to everybody.”

Dr. Gates sat down with WIRED Science to explain just what’s so ‘super’ about superstring theory and why the complexities of theoretical physics should matter to all of us.

Will Social Networking be Coming to Your Cell Phone?

They say it is so but first we need to convince the advertisers.
clipped from www.rcrnews.com
The move underscores a phenomenal expansion from Facebook in recent months. Once a destination solely for college students, the site has morphed into a place where both students and professionals can create profiles, post updates and exchange messages. Like other successful sites such as Flickr and MySpace, Facebook’s site accepts widgets for third-party applications, allowing users one-click access to other social networking destinations.
Just how lucrative the mobile social networking space might be is still uncertain, however. Wireless startups are drawing impressive numbers, but some are struggling to generate the advertising revenues necessary to fuel the business. Advertisers new to the space are opting to allocate their ad dollars to more familiar, high-profile brands instead of newcomers whose names may not be recognizable by mainstream consumers.
