• New Dell-ARM combo poised to take on Wintel netbooks? - Ars Technica: I'd actually be surprised if Dell did a non-x86 machine (it took them forever to do machines with AMD CPUs), but I would certainly be interested. It's also good to read that Linux seems to be doing well on netbooks, contrary to some FUD from Microsoft.

• Technology Review: Bone-setting Glue: Impressive discovery:

  "Making glue that sticks to bone and other wet surfaces has proven a particularly complex task--either it slides right off, or it dissolves into the surrounding liquid. Russell Stewart, lead researcher and biomedical engineer at the University of Utah, found his inspiration for the glue in the tiny sandcastle worm. The worm builds its tube-shaped home on the ocean floor using sand grains and bits of shell, cemented into place piece by piece like brick and mortar."

  If this glue pans out, it sounds like it will really help people with multiple fractures.

• And Yet It Moves Wii Teaser on Vimeo: This game looks pretty cool.
