Bad News for Vandals: Graf Prosecution Goes Hi-Tech
Up until now, the only way for a graffiti artist to get charged with a crime was to actually be caught in the act-- painting a piece, putting up a poster, or catching a tag. Even the most prolific all-city vandals could only be charged for the pieces they were doing while arrested-- which meant that serious jail-time was generally not a risk. For instance, after a five-borough graffiti spree in 1995, Cost was busted for putting up a sticker in Queens, but only got 200 days of community service.

Kitten Does Electro 101; Where are the Synth Pooches?
Pictures of cats and blogging are a cliche — but that cliche happens to be true. And it extends down the long tail (ahem, so to speak) to our little niches. Yes, there really is a blog dedicated to pictures of cats and synths. Not weirded out yet? Via Matrixsynth earlier this month (and evidently not an April Fool’s joke), someone has made a tatoo.

Who should watch the Lyrid meteor shower?
The Lyrid meteor shower will peak this weekend, on the mornings of April 22 and 23. Who should watch it?
You should! If you’re a gambler.

Forscher entdecken natürlichen HIV-Blocker
Eiweißfragment stoppt im Labor sogar Viren, die gegen andere Wirkstoffe resistent geworden sind
Deutsche Wissenschaftler haben im menschlichen Blut einen natürlichen HIV-Blocker entdeckt. Das Eiweißfragment wirkt mithilfe eines anderen Mechanismus als bisher bekannte Hemmstoffe und kann eine Reihe von verschiedenen HIV-Varianten abwehren – auch solche, die gegen bisherige antivirale Wirkstoffe resistent sind. So könnten neue, noch wirksamere Medikamente gegen die Immunschwächekrankheit Aids entwickelt werden, hoffen die Forscher.
