Monday, February 23rd, 2009ROM CHECK FAIL!!
Friday, February 20th, 2009Do you remember about 6 months ago we posted this article about glitchy mashups from loading mismatched ROMS?
Of course you do.
And do you remember thinking… this is great but its a shame they could never be playable…
Well someone thought it…
ROM CHECK FAIL is an ingenious way to pack more nostalgia into you gaming time than ever before, the result is a wonderfully chaotic walk down memory lane…
You can download it at Farbs.org

Monday, February 16th, 2009So for those of you who haven’t read Catcher in the Rye, it’s about a teenager who runs away to New York, and does lots of ‘adult’ things like drinking, smoking and consorting with ladies of ill repute… Which is a kind of allegorical maturity.

Alzheimer’s Breakthrough
Thursday, February 5th, 2009If Terry Pratchett has got you pondering this devastating disease, then you may be reassured by this paper published in PNAS a few days ago… which highlights the role of insulin to halt the neurological degeneration.
Although the brain once was considered insulin insensitive, it
is now known that central nervous system insulin signaling is important for many
aspects of neuronal function, including plasticity and memory formation.
The team showed that Rosiglitazone (an insulin sensitising drug), potentiates the ability of insulin to protect synapses against ADDLs (Amyloid beta derived diffusible ligands) which are potent central nervous system neurotoxins.
It basically opens up a huge avenue of treatment for this dehumanising degenerative disease, excellent work.
