The iPad/iPhone jailbreak we learned about on iPad launch day is now available for download. The untethered hack works with activated iPhone OS gear running versions 3.1.2, 3.1.3, and 3.2. As for the iPad, users should proceed with caution, as any errors, crashes or other unforeseen issues will require a restore for things to work like normal again. [Spirit - Thanks, Chris] More »

I got this last week and as I’m sure you know, it’s the second law of thermodynamics (the original equation, by Clausius) before -N even represented entropy. This is a strange story, because I’m not a physics or math major, I’m a female philosophy person.
I really do love physics though, and I’m about to leave my home country and all my undergrad friends behind and go and do my MSc at LSE. So the sentiment behind this is that now, after undergrad, we begin to disseminate. Entropy.
It’s also a great boyfriend filtration system:
‘Can I have your number?’
‘Wait, what’s this mean?’
‘Um… I don’t know?’
‘Too bad, you were cute’ (walk off)

Tim Lambert has news that deeply troubles me: The state of Virginia's Republican attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli, has launched a fishing expedition investigation into climate researcher Michael Mann's days at the University of Virginia. The request sounds quite massive, according to the Hook:
Among the documents Cuccinelli demands are any and all emailed or written correspondence between or relating to Mann and more than 40 climate scientists, documents supporting any of five applications for the $484,875 in grants, and evidence of any documents that no longer exist along with proof of why, when, and how they were destroyed or disappeared. The request also appears to cover a six year period. This is clearly another attempt to make fire out of the mere smoke that was ClimateGate. But remember, so far, Mann has been vindicated by his university. In this context, I don't see how one can possibly justify putting scientists through such an extensive and burdensome inquiry. There is obviously strong potential for a chilling effect on their research. I am sure this post will prompt a lot of comments--so, be good.....
A recent article, posted on MSNBC on April 22nd of this year, suggests that officials are neglecting to react to the global carbon budget as seawater acidity rises. Research is lacking needed funds, perhaps because the only solution to this problem is to stop burning fossil fuels. As the shell fish
This month's Challenge Question:
Most of our satellites have an orbit very close to the end of the atmosphere. This means they are subjected to an air drag, just like cars on Earth. In the case of cars, the drag slows down the speed. However, in the case of satellites, the drag actuall

Bolden, Griffin Display Space Policy Differences, Aviation Week
"It has become much to fashion lately to compare Constellation to Apollo, with the thought of course that we don't want to do anything that might look at all like Apollo," said Griffin. "I wonder about that sometimes because Apollo made me pretty proud to be an American. That drive has sustained a couple of generations of space professionals. So, today we have a space policy choice confronting us. Do we want to do innovative, game-changing technologies? Or, do we want to do something that might look a little bit like Apollo?'

Now that BP and the USCG have concurred that 200,000 gallons per day are leaking and that all attempts to seal the leak are fruitless.......what do the folks on CR4 have to say about a course of action.
