As a former nephrologist I feel obligated to comment on this article. So, much of what is written is true, but much is also a bit slanted too. So, mortality rates on dialysis do suck. It's not necessarily a reflection of bad care, though

As much as this seems like a solution, its distant science fiction for now. The kidney is not a simple organ and once you start implanting foreign material into people you run into some major issues. Clotting and infection for example. In

Ads work for a variety of reasons and those who claim they don't work on them are probably wrong (imo). Aside from direct action (click and buy my product) there's also a branding goal. Assuming you don't block ads, you do see these ads al

Looks like Apple enabled non us/uk iads for a day or two and then turned them off. I presume they were testing for a later launch. $6 for 400 impressions is $15 cpm which is amazing. You can't complain about it just because you have a low v

fwiw, Apple never said they would never make a netbook. I believe the relevant quote was "We don't know how to build a sub-$500 computer that is not a piece of junk." (And, the MacBook Air is still not sub-$500.) http://www.businessweek.

Yeah, but they were all branded around the .ly/.us, not the .com. I was assuming he was going with just the .com. But looks like the .ly is available, so if he's serious, he should get it before someone else does.

ya, but the numbers are meaningless since it's not clear. And some people are voting for multiple across everything they've graduated (including the author of the poll) which negates the implied highest reached of the poll. If you are me
