The Plastic Fractal Magnet
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/03/1844220

[0]bedessen writes "An [1]article at NewsFactor summarizes the
    developments in new plastics that exhibit magnetic fields of fractal     dimensions. Whereas a simple bar magnet produces magnetic fields that     go from the north pole to the south pole, the fields of the new hybrid     plastic sprout like branches of a cactus lined with secondary fields     that resemble needles. As these fields become increasingly interlocked,     they exhibit a unique kind of order. This intensely ordered structure     might one day be key to storing information with a very high density.     The researchers behind this are [2]Arthur Epstein, director of the     Center for Materials Research at [3]Ohio State University, and [4]Joel     Miller, a professor of chemistry at the [5]University of Utah. There's     also [6]this PDF overview of the subject, which is quite technical but     still readable."

Radiation Detection Wrist Watch

[0]luigi writes "[1]I4U has this story: vigiWATCH is a newly created
    swiss company that offers the smallest, most precise radiation detector     worldwide in a normal size wrist watch. The watch displays current     radioactivity rates from 0.00001mSv/h to 4.00000 mSv/h and cumulative     radioactive dose from 0.001mSv/h to 9999 mSv/h. The precision is +/-     25% over total range. Besides the radioactivity detection, its also     showing the time in a digital and analog display. The watch [2]looks     like a normal casual wrist watch. Hope this watch never becomes     standard equipment for survival on this planet. The watch is sold on     the [3]site for $1100."

Linux to Become #2 on the Desktop?

I have discovered a few by listening to     internet radio, and writing down the names of songs that take my fancy.     I had a play with [1]The Digital Music Network, but it was very     intrusive, full of adverts and only worked in Windows. I found it quite     a hard topic to google for as there is so much stuff about music. Has     anyone come accoss a decent system that can suggest some good artists     to me based on my existing listening habbits?" Word of mouth, of     course, is the tried and true method of promoting a new group. Are     there weblogs that allow users to discuss music much like Slashdot     discusses "news"?

Trustworthy Computing in 2002
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/01/02/1445254

  • By Chris Pike, reprinted from Pikeus - 2002 was the year that Linux made big news and Microsoft admitted it was their greatest threat. Microsoft's continued attempts at spreading Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) in an effort to turn people away from Linux and Open Source didn't get them anywhere. Their focus on increased security didn't get them anywhere either. To top it off, they even ended up paying people to use their software.
