Tablet Adoption Surging in Enterprise
Tablet adoption is increasing among corporate tech buyers. ChangeWave Research recently polled a group of 1,604 business IT buyers and found that 22 percent of them planned to purchase tablets for their employees sometime in the second quarter of 2012. Of those, 84 percent say they're likely to buy Apple iPads -- an increase of 7 percentage points from ChangeWave's November 2011 survey.

The Damning Backstory Behind ?Homeless Hotspots? at SXSW
It sounds like something out of a darkly satirical science-fiction dystopia. But it's absolutely real ? and a completely problematic treatment of a problem that otherwise probably wouldn't be mentioned in any of the panels at South by Southwest Interactive.

American Nightmare Extends the Alan Wake Mythology
I don’t watch horror films, not since a viewing of The Thing when I was about 10 and having nightmares for weeks. However there was something about Alan Wake that hooked me in. I found that, now a grownup (or so I am told), I could really enjoy the shocks and chills the game threw [...]

Critic's Notebook: Timothy Potts' past and future
The Getty Museum's future director has experience overseeing big purchases. What can he do for the Getty? And, more important, for L.A.?
With the Getty Trust's recent announcement that, after a gap of more than two years, a director has finally been hired to lead its museum, a perennial question arises. The Getty's art collection certainly hasn't languished, with important additions periodically made, but few would say it has lived up to hopes for the hugely wealthy institution. What does new leadership portend for it?

Study suggests breakthrough in organ transplants
A small pilot study indicates that following up an imperfectly matched organ transplant with an infusion of the donor's stem cells may free recipients from a lifetime of anti-rejection drugs.
Patients who are lucky enough to get a transplant for a failed organ usually face a lifetime on anti-rejection drugs, which are expensive, dangerous and not always effective.

Los Angeles' reflection in a plate
The flavors of this diverse city come together in its greatest restaurants. It's an expanding culinary mosaic whose first pieces were set at City.
Once every four years, always on Feb. 29, the downtown L.A. restaurant Border Grill becomes for an evening a reprise of City Restaurant, the La Brea Avenue dining room that launched its chefs, Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, to fame 25 years ago.

The plot is advanced [...]

Researchers report progress in cancer immunotherapy
They say they boosted the effectiveness in melanoma patients by carefully selecting and cloning T cells from patients' blood.
In a bid to make cancer immunotherapy more effective, researchers report they have succeeded in halting the progress of aggressive melanoma in its tracks — at least briefly — in seven patients treated with an army of cloned cancer-fighting immune cells. In one of those patients, the treatment resulted in complete remission of his metastatic melanoma and evidence that his immune system stands ready to fight any return of the cancer after three years.

A Laguna Beach craftsman has a passion for clocks
Dean Armentrout repairs clocks. To him, they are puzzles to be solved, heartbeats to be revived.
Dean Armentrout's problem clocks keep him awake at night. Some run fast. Some run slow, and some don't run at all. Repairs often mean cleaning and oiling the mechanism; balky escapements, missing parts and hidden friction points are trickier.

TED 2012: The Future of Medicine Is in the Paperwork
LONG BEACH, California — Aside from the high salary, the prestige and an overall aura of benevolence, for decades much of the allure of becoming a physician has been the sense of autonomy it affords. As personalities go, doctors are cowboys — rugged individuals who, in the early days of medicine in the early 20th [...]

Lindsay Lohans ?Today? interview was predictable
The Today show aired their complete Lindsay Lohan interview today, and of course she talked about how she?s really really changed this time, and to prove that she’s really really changed this time, she spoke in tired cliches and told a bunch of lies. Yaay, I’m convinced!

Book of Germs: The Quest for a Field Guide to Microbes
Germ lovers rejoice! A proposal to build an electronic field guide to microbes could put everything you need to know about these microscopic bugs at your fingertips. The project would rely on scientists and citizens alike to contribute information about microbes, including their appearance, behavior, taxonomy, distribution on the planet, physiology, biochemistry, genetics and lineage.
