Parasites May Fuel AIDS Epidemic

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:59:00 -0700

Parasites May Fuel AIDS Epidemic :

“A common parasite might make it easier for people to get AIDS, say scientists.

Monkeys with schistosomiasis — a water-borne parasitic disease that afflicts 200 million people in the developing world, most of them in sub-Saharan Africa — contracted AIDS at just one-seventeenth the exposure typically required for infection…..”

the quick write up ends with this doozy:

“Parasites might end up being more important to African AIDS than genes. Too bad it’s more fun to talk about genetics than clean water.”

The Singularity is Near! - the Movie

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 10:43:14 -0700

The Singularity is Near! - the Movie:

The Singularity is when humans and tech merge into one. The movie will be like What the Bleep Do We Know, part documentary and part story and all crazy.

[Maybe Kurzweil needs to remember that shadowy Francis Bacon’s Utopia never came about either. Ahh, the best laid plans…]

From the film’s page:

So what is the Singularity?

Within a quarter century, nonbiological intelligence will match the range and subtlety of human intelligence. It will then soar past it because of the continuing acceleration of information-based technologies, as well as the ability of machines to instantly share their knowledge. Intelligent nanorobots will be deeply integrated in our bodies, our brains, and our environment, overcoming pollution and poverty, providing vastly extended longevity, full-immersion virtual reality incorporating all of the senses (like “The Matrix”), “experience beaming” (like “Being John Malkovich”), and vastly enhanced human intelligence. The result will be an intimate merger between the technology-creating species and the technological evolutionary process it spawned….”
