...sounds imported from India - all while Echeverri innocently croons: "Don Dinero how I love you/Don Dinero you are the main guy." In the same vein is Oye Mujer, a pop song that takes on the idea of the over-sexualized woman. "Sex object, piece of meat with a Barbie complex," growls Echeverri in the chorus. It sounds earnest, but it isn't. Both songs are melodic and danceable. The experience is like having vitamins in your candy: it tastes good and it's good...

...fastest supercomputers in the world is now up and running for Harvard’s Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences (DEAS).

Harvard’s Blue Gene is called CrimsonGridBGL and will be part of the DEAS’s Crimson Grid, a technology initiative aimed at creating a campus-wide technology infrastructure for research...
Just to show that this is a complex field, Mondraty's coauthor sees things slightly differently.

The pair plan to conduct a follow-up study on the 10 anorexic patients in about two years to see whether brain activity has normalized in those who've recovered. If it has, that would suggest that what they've observed is a product of the disease - triggered, perhaps, by malnutrition - rather than a hardwired abnormality. Brain-imaging skeptics would argue that...
...fundamental problems—and even occasional success—in the couple’s family life. The characters’ attempts to come to terms with their own faults culminate in a single moment of emotional payoff at the end.
