Uruguay scientists genetically modify sheeps to glow in the dark

The article states "However, most of these scientists aren't just modifying these animals for fun. They believe that research on these genetically modified animals can help scientists better understand diseases and how diseases develop, not just for animals, but for humans as well."

In other words, these animals are being modified just for fun :P

Why aren't you buying HTC phones?

http://osnews.com/story/26934/Why_aren_t_you_buying_HTC_phones_
People tend to go along with the stream and the trends. They are also more prone to buy stuff from well known and established brands. Moreover, the species has a natural inclination to mimicking.

This is a nice reference to the second track of the second studio (Iowa) album from slipknot ;)

When being better doesn't equal victory: Samsung's curious overshadowing of HTC

When being better doesn't equal victory: Samsung's curious overshadowing of HTC
http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/15/samsung-htc-design-marketing-battle/

In a lot of things, being the best generally leads to victory. Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the London Olympics? He wins the gold. A hosting company has the best recorded uptime? It takes home an award. Google launches the fastest consumer broadband available in the US? Boom, victory.

But every so often, life throws us a curveball. For every 1972 Dolphins team, there's a pack of believers from NC State eager to do something crazy in 1983. And in more germane terms, there's presently no rhyme or reason why HTC has continually outgunned Samsung in terms of design prowess, yet continues to bleed cash while its Korean rival mints it. Actually, there is a reason. It's called marketing.

Europe and Russia teaming up for mission to Mars

Europe and Russia teaming up for mission to Mars
http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/-EmssVMhm9U/

NASA may have already landed several rovers on the surface of Mars, but that isn't stopping other countries from trying it themselves. The European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos have signed a deal to launch an orbiter in 2016 that will orbit the Red Planet, as well as plans to put a rover on Mars in 2018 as part of the ExoMars program.

As a part of the deal, the Russians will be providing the rockets for both missions in 2016 and 2018, while the Europeans will be providing the orbiter and the rover. The orbiter will study the chemical composition of the atmosphere of Mars. For the 2018 mission, the Europeans will provide the carrier and the ExoMars rover, which will be tasked with the mission to look for signs of life on the Red Planet.

However, what's perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of this proposed rover is that it will be able to dig up samples from as deep as 6.5 feet beneath the surface of Mars, which will be the deepest that any rover has ever dug. The ESA says that, by doing this, the rover will be able to collect samples "that have been shielded from the harsh conditions of the surface, where radiation and oxidants can destroy organic materials."

NASA actually pulled out of the ExoMars program last year, but while they're no longer a part of it, the ESA said that NASA will still contribute to the project by providing some communications software, as well as engineering support during the missions. Other details haven't yet been discussed, but we're excited nonetheless.
