What about New Coke?
Via Anarchaia we discover that Coke is kosher. I'm surprised Pepsi didn't try getting the secret ingredients this way.
Fired for pr0n chat? Sue!
Yeah. A guy is suing IBM for $5mil because they fired him for "adult chat" at work. He claims he is protected by the ADA because he's addicted to sex and the internets. Is that was ADA was designed for? Is it really?

Water computer
Today via Anarchaia we learn of programmable water. So, what's the wow?
The idea of the project was to build some devices that could do computation without eletrons. Water was a interesting choice, in fact, Fluidics is a very important field of study that is widely used in aerospace or mission-critical applications, where eletronic control devices don't offer the reliability of cannot support the envoronment. Also, military technologies use Fluidics in order to prevent malfunction in a nuclear war, when eletric devices cease to work.
