تصویری از آخرین لحظات حیات پرفسور حسابی



شام در کنار تخت استاد سرد شده است. ظاهرا ديگر نيازي به خوردن غذا نيست. پزشکان و مسئولان بيمارستان دانشگاه به اين نتيجه رسيدند که معالجه روي قلب استاد ديگر اثري ندارد. لذا آنژيوکت چند دارو براي ادامه تپش قلب از رگ دست راست و آنژيوکت تزريق مسکن درد از دست چپ ايشان را خارج و حتي ماسک تامين اکسيژن که ديگر ريه ها قادر به تامين آن نبود را برداشته اند و تنها سنسورهاي تپش قلب روشن است.
شگفت اينکه در چنين حالتي در کمال حيرت پزشکان و متخصصين بيمارستان کانتونال دانشگاه ژنو، پروفسور حسابي در آخرين لحظات حيات به چيزي جز مطالعه و افزايش دانش نمي انديشد. اين تصوير منحصر به فرد را يکي از کارکنان خود بيمارستان به عنوان يک تصوير تکان دهنده و تاثير گذار ثبت کرده است  .

Teenager Falls Into Open Manhole While Texting


As if you needed more evidence that texting is more dangerous than swine flu, a 15-year-old girl from Staten Island walked into an open manhole while texting. She's fine, don't worry, although she did lose a shoe in the sewer.

Alexa Longueira fell about 4 or 5 feet into an open manhole in Staten Island, scraping up her back and shoulders in the process, although she is otherwise physically unharmed. Her mother noted that she was also mentally injured, as the sewer was "putrid" and one of her shoes remains down there. Apparently, there were some DEP workers on the scene who were "looking" for cones to mark the area when the girl fell in.

The Longueira family says they will sue, although it's not clear exactly who—the city? The cellphone company? Alexa herself, for not watching where she was walking? Regardless, we are all allowed to laugh at this story, at teenagers with their texting, and at Staten Island as a whole, because the girl is unhurt. Proceed.

The plan for legit Blu-ray copies explained at Engadget HD


For those with a disc rack full of Blu-ray packages and who'd like to shove all those optical discs to the attic for a streamlined media server solution -- without resorting to other routes like downloading or cracking open AACS -- Managed Copy is finally on the way, thanks to the just finalized AACS specification, to offer an authorized option for making a copy of your Blu-ray disc. We had a nice long talk with gatekeepers AACS-LA about what to expect when compatible Blu-ray hardware arrives in 2010 and Managed Copy-enabled discs begin shipping later this year; for more details like how many copies can be made, how the DRM works and how much this might cost head over to Engadget HD and see what it all means, and hopefully when we can put away our discs for the last time in favor of a Blu-ray Jukebox.

Steve Jobs Had Liver Transplant; Returning to Work in Days


In a piece of good news for Apple fans, Steve Jobs is still expected to return to work by the end of this month, albeit on a part time basis. The WSJ reports that Jobs was perhaps sicker than many imagined: he underwent a liver transplant in Tennessee in the spring, perhaps related to his previous pancreatic cancer:




Steve Jobs, who has been on medical leave from Apple Inc. since January to treat an undisclosed medical condition, received a liver transplant in Tennessee about two months ago. The chief executive has been recovering well and is expected to return to work on schedule later this month, though he may work part-time initially.



Mr. Jobs didn’t respond to an email requesting comment. “Steve continues to look forward to returning at the end of June, and there’s nothing further to say,” said Apple spokeswoman Katie Cotton.



There’s room for skepticism, however: Apple has remained quiet on the issue for months, insisting that Job’s health is his own concern. And yet such information has a significant effect on Apple’s stock price, creating an incentive to keep the details private: Apple’s investors would likely have become skittish if they’d known about Job’s surgery at the time.



As always with this saga, we’ll only know for sure when we see Steve Jobs back at work.
