Scientists transfer brain impulses from one rat to another through internet.

Video explaining the experiment. (NOTE: Do not watch if you don't want to see USB-enabled rats.)

Telepathy won't come from magic or mysticism, but sufficiently advanced technology.

...I want to be USB enabled. I could really use some extra data storage.

Indeed.

A very crude half remembered quotation from some sci-fi author;

When I was a teenager I wanted to be the first person to have a data uplink in my head. Then I learned more about computers and networking. Now I want to be the first person to have a high quality firewall in my head.

Here's something for all you social media junkies;

Study showing the efficacy of Facebook "likes" as an indicator for social demographics. (The two links front and centre are supplementary information in graph and table form, the actual article is in the sidebar to the right).

Did you know, intelligence is correlated with liking curly fries and Stephen Colbert?

Or that you are more likely to have more friends if you are a fan of the facebook group "The dollar you are holding could've been in a stripper's butt crack"?

Or liking "Hello Kitty" suggests you're a democrat, but mentally unstable?

...I could see the unstable part at least

Solid air? Only humans...

I've held[1] a bit of that.  Strange indeed.  Seemed to me more insubstantial (and of course less wet) than a clump of bubble-bath foam.

[1] Not allowed to grasp it at all, just supported it flat-handedly.

So, since it's not here and I expected it to be, the Higgs has been confirmed. Woo!

[Osmosis Jones]

Yeah... I've kinda realised I'm a terrible OP >_>

The sad thing about the Higg's discovery is it seems to exactly match the expected properties... so no cool new physics

For now. In a few years, though, the LHC is getting full-scale power. AWW YEAH.

Yeah, that stuff is cool. Because of it's ridiculous insulation properties, I've contemplated the possibility of making refrigerator doors out of the stuff. That way you can see what you have without opening the door!

I see your aerogel, and raise you aerographite!

But can it hold magnets? I THINK NOT!

Some foodstuffs don't like being exposed to light though. Also, insulation works 2 ways. Since the thingy let's light in, but not heat out, your fridge would effectively become a greenhouse.
