Dogs may be able to sniff out cancer: "Dogs' keen sense of smell might help in the early diagnosis of cancer, researchers report in the current issue of Integrative Cancer Therapies. The findings show that trained ordinary household dogs can detect early-stage lung and breast cancers by merely sniffing the breath samples of patients." [Reuters Health eLine]

A time for great applications: "Getting the Powerbook has had a strange impact on my life. Beyond the obvious - that the Powerbook is a great computer and that MacOSX is light decades ahead of Windows in terms stability, usability, and bliss - I was never a Windows or Unix evangelist. I have become a Mac evangelist (I think my CEO is on the ropes, I see an IMac in his future). [...] Part of this is the quality of some of the applications for this platform. The Way of the Mac seems to extend out to Mac developers." [Curiouser and Curiouser!]
