Recently got back into reading New Scientist after doing some fishing. Used to read this a lot when I first started work at a paper making research unit many years ago.
Latest issue has some interesting subjects including plants doing quantum computing, communicating with people in a coma or vegetative state (made the news recently), a "telescope" to catch bots on the net, how earth got it's oxygen and the secrets of..... water.
V interesting

Some play it safe on the merry-go-round, others go for the thrills of the roller-coaster.

I have a joke for you. I have a prediction that you are going to walk into a bar, my prediction was wrong and your wallet is gone.

Re: New Scientist
You can subscribe at the New Scientist site http://www.newscientist.com/ in which case you'll get a copy of the weekly mag in print form and access to the whole of the on-line articles. As I said, I went fishing and happened across the latest issue in PDF form. I'll prolly look around again next week

Re: New Scientist
Some more interesting topics this week, including massive supernovae that shouldn't exist, the possibility of life on Mars, and a gene responsible for Alzhiemers but also responsible for intelligence
