Researchers at Harvard and Princeton have announced that they’ve made a “crucial step” in the development of so-called “biocomputers,” which could one day be implanted in patients to directly attack diseased cells or tissues Fantastic Voyage-style. According to Physorg, the computers are actually constructed entirely out of DNA, RNA, and proteins, and are able to translate complex cellular signatures like the activities of multiple genes into a form that can be more readily observed. Currently, the researchers have demonstrated that the biocomputers can work in human kidney cells in culture, although they seem confident that they’ll eventually find a wind range of uses, including working in conjunction with biosensors or medicine delivery systems to target, for instance, only cancerous or diseased cells, without causing any harm to the patient’s healthy cells.

You might wonder why a cat would enjoy being trapped inside a container of water, but as you should already know, all rules are thrown out when it comes to Hello Kitty. The USB-powered aquarium features a couple of oh-so-cute Hello Kitty mermaids in a snow globe / fish tank fantasy land, and while we’re sure the hordes of fanboys and girls just adore the idea, this one could actually satisfy those on the other end of the spectrum as well — fess up, it’s not too often that you get to satisfy your SO and take pleasure in holding your (least) favorite feline underwater for an indefinite period of time, right?

Worthy advice from lifehack.org. Too many people waste too much time worrying about what they shouldn’t.

Iriver hasn’t exactly made it a secret that it’s planning to release an 8GB
clix 2 sooner or later, but the folks at clixhere! have now published what they claim to be the first pics of the much-desired device, although they unfortunately don’t have much in the way of details to go along with ‘em. As you can see above, it certainly looks like a clix 2, with the notable addition of red stripe running around the edge of the device. Of course, we’ll have to wait for iriver’s announcement to get the official word on that and any other possible changes, although we don’t suspect it’ll be all that different than 4GB clix 2 we got our
hands on last month.
