DMS: Think Inside "Box" to Increase Understanding of Pharmaceutical Ads <%image(shared/20031026-dms.jpg|82|90|)%> Pharmaceutical ads marketed directly to the consumer may minimize the risks and exaggerate the benefits of medications, often confusing the public about what drugs are most effective, but Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) researchers have found a remedy.

Socio-political trends such as education, ecommerce and GDP expenditures are also growing exponentially. In light of these trends, Ray extrapolates that humankind will continue to advance technologically faster and faster; according to his math, for example, he predicts we will: Achieve one Human Brain capability for $1,000 in 2023.Achieve one Hum From silentblue | Quantified on April 29, 2004 at 10:56 p.m..

GoogleMania: IPO Plan is Official UPDATED Well, it's better than I'd expected: According to Google's fascinating SEC filing today, the company will a) sell shares in an auction rather than the rancid old-boy system that prevailed in Silicon Valley's bubble days; and b) have an ownership structure that lets the founders manage for the long term, not Wall Street's quarterly attention span.

Pepsi's iTunes Promotion Goes Flat There's a lesson here, as the Pepsi iTunes song give-away resulted in fewer than planned songs being distributed for free.
