Submission + - Apple founded on Phone Phreakers, goes after iPhon (9to5mac.com)

Anonymous Coward writes: "Apple's founders got their start in 1975 by building and selling "Blue Boxes" that hacked AT&T's network. Now they've flipped the script — cutting down others that are trying to Open the iPhone for use on other networks. Going to be hard for Apple to take the moral high ground on this one — especially when the evidence is on Woz's website!"

Submission + - Drug selectively removes rats memory

rednuhter writes: Nature online is reporting scientists have used drugs to selectively remove one memory while unaffecting another. Musical tones were played to the rats and at the same time the subjects were given a mild electric shock. Half the study group were given the drug (not approved for use in humans) and then the experiment was repeated with a new tone. The following day the rats that had not been given the treatment were afraid of both tones while the treated half were only afraid of the second tone, the memory of fear of the first had been erased.
