Biological Computer Created at Stanford 89
sciencehabit writes "For the first time, synthetic biologists have created a genetic device that mimics one of the widgets on which all of modern electronics is based, the three-terminal transistor. Like standard electronic transistors, the new biological transistor is expected to work in many different biological circuit designs. This should make it easier for scientists to program cells to do everything from monitor pollutants and the progression of disease to turning on the output of medicines and biofuels."
ZFS Hits an Important Milestone, Version 0.6.1 Released 99
sfcrazy writes "ZFS on Linux has reached what Brian Behlendorf calls an important milestone with the official 0.6.1 release. Version 0.6.1 not only brings the usual bug fixes but also introduces a new property called 'snapdev.' Brian explains, 'The snapdev property was introduced to control the visibility of zvol snapshot devices and may be set to either visible or hidden. When set to hidden, which is the default, zvol snapshot devices will not be created under /dev/. To gain access to these devices the property must be set to visible. This behavior is analogous to the existing snapdir property.'"

Comment Quickoffice/Google Docs (Score 1) 268
The Ipad just got a lot more business friendly with the work of Google Docs and their acquisition of Quickoffice. i have to say, I would have considered buying a Windows tablet before, but with the Quickoffice app, I have most of what I need on the Ipad.
Thanks to Google.
