Harry Potter's fifth movie and how to beat your genes.

DNA Is Not Destiny. We commonly accept the notion that through our DNA we are destined to have particular body shapes, personalities, and diseases. Some scholars even contend that the genetic code predetermines intelligence and is the root cause of many social ills, including poverty, crime, and violence. "Gene as fate" has become conventional wisdom. Through the study of epigenetics, that notion at last may be proved outdated. Suddenly, for better or worse, we appear to have a measure of control over our genetic legacy.
Diet is the key...

Commercial Mind-Machine Interface by 2011. A curious device, it would be great if it's cheap enough to test other control techniques. On the same topic "Mysterious ‘Neural Noise’ Actually Primes Brain for Peak Performance", it's worth a read...

A matter of attitude, this kid is blind but can do things normal people can't even do!

Another thing that I love about beeing alive is the possibiliy to read and reread Harry Potter's books. Following closely is the movie industry, that in search for more and more money, ratter than quality entertainment, is putting out the fifth Potter movie, "The Order of Phoenix". Here is the trailer:

And some insight information about the movie..

This is just a joke, but you gotta love web cams :)
