Computer Made from DNA and Enzymes


Israeli scientists have devised a computer that can perform 330 trillion operations per second, more than 100,000 times the speed of the fastest PC. The secret: It runs on DNA.

A year ago, researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, unveiled a programmable molecular computing machine composed of enzymes and DNA molecules instead of silicon microchips. Now the team has gone one step further. In the new device, the single DNA molecule that provides the computer with the input data also provides all the necessary fuel.

The design is considered a giant step in DNA computing. The Guinness World Records last week recognized the computer as "the smallest biological computing device" ever constructed. DNA computing is in its infancy, and its implications are only beginning to be explored. But it could transform the future of computers, especially in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.

San Francisco Examiner Turns Into Giveaway Paper


Proclaiming news should be free, the San Francisco Examiner began a new life on Monday as a giveaway paper just days after firing most of its staff in a fight to survive against a far larger and wealthier rival.

"Free!," the paper's banner headline read. "A first for our city -- a daily newspaper you don't have to pay for."

Busta Rhymes' SUV shot up outside record office


Police were searching Monday for the person who sprayed bullets into Busta Rhymes' sport utility vehicle a few minutes after the rapper left it parked on a Manhattan street.

The shooting happened Friday night outside Violator Records and Violator Management, which represents Rhymes, 50 Cent, Missy Elliott and other recording stars. It was the second time in a month that Violator's offices were the scene of gunfire.

No one was injured, said Sgt. Michael Wysokowski, a police spokesman. "It's not known if (Rhymes) was the intended target."

E-mails you wish you'd never sent


E-mail is a great tool of communication but sometimes just a click of the send button can spell disaster.

When Devon schoolgirl Claire McDonald logged on to check her e-mails she was taken aback to find an urgent missive from the Pentagon among the chatty greetings from her friends. It contained confidential information not intended for civilian eyes.

Claire replied to point out the error, but the e-mails kept coming, from the Pentagon, the Ministry of Defence and elsewhere. One detailed communications problems on British warships; another New Zealand's defence strategy.
