I noticed a nice tool called Equation Service for typesetting mathematics in Mac OS X applications: "Equation Service is a program that uses pdflatex to produce small PDF files containing equations and other text. You can either do the input and typesetting in the main Equation Service window and then drag and drop the resulting PDF into your application, or highlight text in the other application and run Equation Service on it by typing command-/."

Four-Winged Dinosaurs and the Dawn of Flight: "The ancestors of birds may have taken to the air on four wings and a prayer. Paleontologists have recovered from deposits in Liaoning, China, dinosaur fossils that exhibit evidence of flight feathers on their hindlimbs as well as their forelimbs." [Google Technology News]

More book reviews (in Finnish) -- Comment()
I created an index of the book reviews. All the reviews are written in Finnish, although many of the books are in English. Most of the reviews have appeared in the Tietoyhteys magazine published by the Ministry of Education. I have now posted here 30 reviews from the years 1998-2000. Update: now there are 51 book reviews from the years 1998-2003.
