I decided this week that social media has jumped the shark. It happened when I tweeted from the dentist’s chair to announce I was in the dentist’s chair. I thought, “This is something the world needs to know about.” Strangely, the world was apathetic, and no conversations ensued.

A team from Columbia University Medical Center has pioneered a technique to regrow adult teeth from a person’s own stem cells. An animal-model study has shown that by homing stem cells to a scaffold made of natural materials and integrated in surrounding tissue, there is no need to use harvested stem cell lines, or create an environment outside of the body (e.g., a Petri dish) where the tooth is grown and then implanted once it has matured. The tooth instead can be grown “orthotopically,” or in the socket where the tooth will integrate with surrounding tissue in ways that are impossible with hard metals or other materials

I so wanted to say something nice about Barnes & Noble, the Nook, and its new B&N eReader App for the iPad. I’ve been a little harsh at times in the past, I’ll admit: even as recently as  yesterday . So, after reading early reviews of the iPad app from a couple of colleagues, and seeing how, as in the above screenshot, it had already soared to the top of all free apps in the iPad App Store, I was ready.

If you have a hankering for a swim in the sea, but all of the dangerous creatures in the ocean have you scared, why not just install a swimming pool in the middle of the ocean? “Mesh covered holes allow the Magic Swim to fill with water once it’s deployed, but also keep unwanted visitors out, and a semi-rigid floating platform in the center of the pool allows you to stand once it’s completely filled with water,” said OhGizmo . The Magic Swim inflatable pool can be setup with an air compressor in only five minutes

Guest Post by professional domainer, Kenny Goodman Domainers are domain name speculators/traders – they register or buy either new, aged or deleted domain names and then sell/lease them for a profit.  When I use the term ‘buying’ or ‘selling’ ‘leasing’ I am talking about buying, selling or leasing the registration rights as no one ever actually owns the domain outright. Let me explain: New Domains When you register a normal Top Level Domain Name (TLD -.com, .net, .org, .info etc) you can register it for between 1 and 10 years for about $8 – £35 per year depending on the registrar. These are what are known in the industry as ‘new domains’ for obvious reasons.

Sukumar Mukhopadhyay / May 24, 2010, 0:26 IST What has brought to fore this issue is that in a very recent judgement in March this year the Allahabad High Court has given stricture to an officer of Revenue Department in relation to a case1 involving stay which was given by the Tribunal in the background of the existing legal provision in the Central Excise Act as in Section 35C(2A). I am not discussing here whether the strictures was to be given or not because there were some other reasons also for the stricture. I am only on the legal point as to whether stay can be extended by the Tribunal beyond the period of 180 days from the date of the stay.
