earth: biology made geology
Link. “if you have a hundred million years to play with on an Earthlike planet, you could run something like 1050,maybe even 1060 different chemical experiments. In a laboratory environment you are lucky if you can run three or four experiments in a year.

Price drop for CMDA iPhone – Cricket
Link. “Potential customers will be able to buy an 8GB iPhone 4 for $400, or a 16GB iPhone 4S for $500”. I think until now a no-contract iPhone 4S 16GB was $700. So is this a large price drop? Buy from Cricket but don’t use their service? It all depends on the fine print and the true carrier-lock status. In general, however, CDMA-only iPhones are not terribly interesting.
