How to Get Business to Pay Its Share

 

May 3, 2012
The New York Times
By ALEX MARSHALL

 

JAMES MADISON never played with an iPhone, but he might have had something to say about the news last weekend about Apple. Over the last few years, the company has avoided paying billions of dollars in state and federal taxes by routing profits through subsidiaries based in tax havens from Reno, Nev., to the Caribbean.

US scientists have taught a monkey to feed itself using a robotic arm and the power of thought.

The experiment, revealed last night at a meeting of neuroscientists in San Diego, offers hope to people with spinal cord injuries.

A team from the University of Pittsburgh restrained the arms of a monkey and wired a neural prosthesis - a robot arm with a mobile shoulder, elbow and griping device - into its brain.

The arm intercepted signals from electrodes attached to probes in the nerve cells of the motor cortex, the brain region that controls movement.

An algorithm devised at Pittsburgh interpreted the activity in the monkey's brain as the animal tried to move
its own arm, and transmitted the signals to the robotic arm.

Internet is a victim of its own success

 

It is the news that internet users do not want to hear:

the worldwide web is in danger of collapsing around us.

The sky seems a little lower this morning;

a cathedral without a spire, a mountain without wolves.

Yesterday Concorde, the Anglo-French sky goddess,

drooped her nose for the last time in commercial flight,

coming in to land among commonplace Boeings and Airbuses

at Heathrow airport.

The sight of Amrozi bin Nurhasyim, the "smlling bomber" of Bali,

raising his arms in triumph

as his death sentence was announced was profoundly disturbing.

Throughout his trial, Amrozi betrayed no glimmer of remorse

for the appalling crime he had helped execute.

'You're not going out dressed like that!' Which of us has not heard this outraged bellow in our day?

However, two things made it quite bearable; a) it came from our parents, bless 'em, who really did want the best for us despite it all, and b) it stopped when we were sweet sixteen.

Spare a thought, then, for Kylie Minogue and Britney Spears,

who are presently hearing this censorious nonsense from a complete stranger - one Jim O'Neill, chairman of the Professional Association of Teachers -

despite the fact that they are, respectively, in their mid-30s and early 20s.

It's their fault, apparently, that 10-year-old girls are turning up for class wearing "totally inappropriate" and "skimpy" clothes.

    Do you think I'm sexy? : Don't blame Kylie if kids are dressing skimpily for school, says Julie Burchill (below). Better to blame the parents for pointless worrying, says 16-year-old Leila d'Angelo (far right), G/G2, p. 6, 31.7.2003.
