entanglement and teleportation from The New York Times (free registration, yay): 'Employing a facet of quantum mechanics that Albert Einstein called "spooky action at a distance," scientists have taken particles of light, destroyed them and then resurrected copies more than a mile away.'

Katie is a revision control system, somewhat like a cross between CVS and NFS, that was inspired by Rational ClearCase. The three most interesting features of Katie are that the repository is mounted as a filesystem (rather than being copied to a local workspace), that all versions of all files (even deleted ones) are accessible through this filesystem (so there is, for example, no need for a Katie-specific diff command like CVS has), and that directories are versioned (just like files are). Basic operations (creation of elements, checkout, checkin, dynamic views, config specs, and branches) work, but there is much work still to go before it will be generally useful.

OSSP ex 1.0.2
http://freshmeat.net/releases/111226/

OSSP ex is a small ISO-C++ style exception handling library for use in the ISO-C language. It allows you to use the paradigm of throwing and catching exceptions in order to reduce the amount of error handling code without making your program less robust. This is achieved by directly transferring exceptional return codes (and the program control flow) from the location where the exception is raised (throw point) to the location where it is handled (catch point), usually from a deeply nested sub-routine to a parent routine. All intermediate routines no longer have to make sure that the exceptional return codes from sub-routines are correctly passed back to the parent.
