  PBS asking viewers to choose new Science show 2007-01-08 15:01 chinmay7

Submitted by chinmay7 on Monday January 08 2007, @03:01PM
chinmay7 writes "PBS has posted three different pilots for a new science show, that they want viewers to weigh in on and help choose one as a regular science show. All three pilots are viewable as vodcasts.
Wired Science aired on January 3rd. The pilot certainly is polished as expected from Wired Magazine, and deals with interesting topics: "Meet rocket-belt inventors, stem cell explorers and meteorite hunters."
Science Investigators (Air date: January 10) seems to be the most 'science' show: "The investigators examine 30,000-year-old Neanderthal DNA, vanishing frogs, mind-boggling baseball pitches and more."
22nd Century (Air date: January 17) is pretty gimmicky and loud (for my tastes, at least) but delivers interesting content — "In the coming decades will all our brains be wired together like networked computers?"

So watch and vote. Choose our new public TV science show."

An anonymous reader writes "Google shot straight to the top in its first appearance on Fortune's list this year. Find out why, plus see detailed profiles for all the best places to work. And some pretty cool photo galleries of Googlers at work, a Google perk gallery and a Google complex gallery. Nice!"

I figured Microsoft would have made it higher than the 50 spot especially with things like, "free grocery delivery, dry-cleaning service, and valet parking". Interesting to see what perks each company has, especially to mine, which is definitely not on the list."
