by Joshua Fruhlinger, posted Jul 5th 2008 at 11:57AM Scientists have developed stereo mammograms — breast X-rays taken with special cameras and at multiple angles — that they say can help them increase detection of breast cancer by 23-percent while decreasing false alarms by 46-percent. By overlaying images taken at different angles or using 3D glasses, Researchers at the Mayo clining say they can now see behind dense tissue that would normally block potential problem areas. Since early detection is a key factor in beating breast cancer, this is an exciting new development.[Via Slashgear]Read PermalinkEmail this57 CommentsFiled under: Misc.

by Joshua Fruhlinger, posted Jul 5th 2008 at 10:20AM When their moms told them that they needed hobbies, collecting Nintendo Game & Watch machines was probably not what they had in mind. We’re not about to judge Andy Cole or Michael Panayiotakis, two collectors who have all 60 Game & Watch handhelds ever produced. New in box. Untouched by human hands. So why did they do it? Because they could, we suppose. In an interview by DS Fanboy, the two Game & Watch collectors are deconstructed and investigated, revealing such nuggets as once spending $1,200 on a boxed Super Mario Bros.

Well, I have some rather good news for all you IM addicts. Your fav instant messenger Google Talk is now available as a web-based version. Specially designed for users of the hyper popular Apple iphone and iPod Touch. the messenger can be accessed by opening http://www.google.com/talk in your iPhone or ipod Touch browser.
