Scientists find new uses for existing drugs by mining gene-activity data banks
Source: http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-08-scientists-drugs-gene-activity-banks.html
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have paired up medicines and maladies with help from a molecular "Match.com." When the scientists applied an "opposites attract" algorithm to publicly available databases, surprising sparks flew: They found potential compatibilities between numerous existing drugs and diseases for which those drugs had never before been thought to be beneficial.New Apple Store To Be Made Entirely Out of Glass [Apple]
Source: http://gizmodo.com/5831844/new-apple-store-to-be-made-entirely-out-of-glass
The renderings clearly show an Apple store, down to the tables, bar at the end, and side displays. The store will take the place of an old Borders (RIP) store on the Third Street Promenade. If approved, the old Borders would be demolished and replaced by this glass 8,084-square-foot glass structure with a 75-foot glass façade:
The proposed one-story, 34-foot high commercial building will feature an expansive floor-to-ceiling height accentuated by a transparent glass ceiling. The front façade will consist entirely of transparent glass panels that will project five feet from stone paneled side walls.
Apple already has a store nearby, but this one is going to be a bigger one, so it may be a replacement.
Dell's S2330MX Ultra-Slim monitor makes rival LCDs hit the treadmill

Was it really only a month ago that Dell released the remarkably priced U2421M? The folks at Round Rock are already at it again with another impressive widescreen -- the unromantically named (yet impressively thin) S2330MX. Lurking behind the catchy moniker is a 23-inch display (did we mention it's thin?), LED backlighting and a DVI to HDMI adapter. Let's face it, the power cables are gonna be thicker than the monitor -- it's very thin, you see. No word on pricing but, you can order one from tomorrow, August 18th. You can see how excited Scott Bates is in the official announcement video below.
[Thanks, George]

Apple adding DisplayPort to iOS devices?
Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/17/apple-adding-displayport-to-ios-devices/
Not content with just building offices in the shape of UFOs, Apple is on the hunt for a "Signal Integrity Manager." That's an engineer who balances the noise that chips and circuit boards emit -- which, if left unchecked could overpower your iOS devices' data signals. Apple is specifically looking for someone with DisplayPort experience (plus ten years general experience and two years leading a small team) to work on future chip development -- like the A6. The move suggests that the standard could be coming in the future, but since the position is still listed, it seems unlikely that we'll see DisplayPort included with the next iPhone / iPad at this point.

Android App Inventor Will Live On At MIT [Android]
Source: http://gizmodo.com/5831566/android-app-inventor-will-live-on-at-mit
Using a gift from Google, MIT will be opening a new Center for Mobile Learning and its first project will be App Inventor. After a short stint in the hands of Google, the WYSIWYG development platform is now returning to its roots. The original App Inventor was created by Google with the help of MIT Professor Hal Abelson who designed it to be an easy-to-learn development platform.
Now that App Inventor is back in the hands of its creators, hopefully, the development platform will receive the attention it needs to develop into an even more valuable learning tool for budding programmers. [Hack Education]
How Researchers Fit a Blu-Ray of Data Onto a Millimeter of Glass [Memory]
Source: http://gizmodo.com/5831590/how-researchers-fit-a-blu+ray-of-data-onto-a-millimeter-of-glass
The process uses minuscule dots called voxels etched in the molecular structure of pure silica glass that bend light to store information (the light itself changes direction as it passes through one depending on the light's polarization orientation.) The data can then be wiped and rewritten by re-etching the voxels.
Glass has a lot of advantages over other non-volatile memory. In particular, it can withstand temperatures up to 1800F and, since the etchings are located within the structure of the glass itself, the information lasts quite literally forever with no noticeable data degradation.
As research team member, Martynas Beresna, said:
We have developed this memory which means data can be stored on the glass and last forever. It could become a very stable and safe form of portable memory. It could be very useful for organizations with big archives. At the moment companies have to back up their archives every five to ten years because hard-drive memory has a relatively short lifespan.
Other uses include cheaper and more compact medical imaging, precise manipulation of atom-sized objects, and even high-resolution imaging far beyond what we see today. Great, now I have to copy my CD's—yet again—to a new format. But hey, should be the last time, right?

Enable Google Maps' Awesome "Bubble Buttons" Lab for Quicker Calling and Navigation [Updates]
Make sure you're running the latest version of Google Maps for Android, then go to Menu > More > Labs. Scroll down to "Bubble Buttons" and tap it to turn it on. Now, whenever you search for a location in Maps, you'll have the option to call them or navigate there right on the main map page, severely reducing the number of taps it takes to perform either action. Head to the Android Market to update your version of Maps and try it out for yourself.

Why Do We Judge Some Areas as Being Safer Than Others? [StreetView]

In their own words, "Place Pulse is a website that allows anybody to quickly run a perception study and visualize the results in powerful ways." They hope to gather over a million votes, which could help them gather geotagged images into powerful groups, such as which area in New York City is deemed to look the safest.
Inspired by Kevin Lynch's book The Image of the City, which published in 1960 and focuses on urban planning and how people perceive their surroundings, MIT hopes to make more sense of why we think the way we think. Once all of the information has been collated, the team of researchers will organize the data into graphs and present it in their report, but until then you can see a small taste of their results here.
