Scientists Make Bacteria Behave Like Computers: "Bacteria have been programmed to behave like computers, assembling themselves into complex shapes based on instructions stuffed into their genes. [...] Eventually, the process might be used to direct the construction of useful devices or the growth of new tissue, perhaps restoring function to a severed spinal cord."

A Digital Crime Wave: "So for consumers and small businesses - everyone without a large IT department to manage security - the Windows computers they use have become huge burdens instead of helpful tools. [...] And prevention is almost as painful as the disease, because the computer industry has so far come up with only half-baked and piecemeal solutions to these threats. You have to watch every move you make online and install a bunch of security programs, which require monitoring, constant updating and, often, annual fees."
