болею я. грипп. уже пятый день. давно такого не было. все тело ломит. даже книжки читать не получается. все слова знакомые, а смысла в них никакого нет. только австралийскими хайку и спасаюсь. вот тут нашел одну про себя:

Shadows are hardwired into the brain
Our brains instinctively view our shadows as an extension of our bodies, a new research has shown. Subjects in the study reacted to stimuli near the shadow of one hand as if the stimuli were affecting the hand itself, found Francesco Pavani, at Royal Holloway University of London, UK, and Umberto Castiello, at the Università degli Studi di Trento, Italy.

Global therapeutic cloning ban averted
A global ban on all medical applications of human cloning was averted by an eleventh-hour deal at the United Nations on Tuesday. Last-minute haggling in the aisles of the UN General Assembly in New York sealed a compromise which postpones debate on a cloning treaty until October 2004.

It's interesting how Europe and US differ on cloning(EU is for, the US is against) and GM foods. ( EU is against, the US is for).

I bet we'll see closed private spam-free e-mail systems. Actually, e-mail as we know it today is going to be replaced by a content/communications management system that tracks different types of personal and shared media, e.g. mail, pictures, SMS, blogs, music, video, and etc.
LiveJournal had a reasonable chance to become such a system, but I think they blew it when they decided to go open, thus turning into a yet another blogging service.
