  • All Drugs Tweak the Brain the Same, Study Finds - Whether you smoke a cigarette or use cocaine, certain nerve endings in the brain are tweaked in the same way, which suggests there may be a universal way to treat addiction, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday. In fact, alcohol, cocaine, amphetamines, morphine and nicotine all make brain cells hypersensitive, a team at Stanford University in California reported. The affected brain cells are in a region of the brain called the ventral tegmental area, or VTA, Malenka's team reported in the Feb. 20 issue of the journal Neuron.
  • Where Does Ebola Hide Between Epidemics? - When villagers in the remote jungles of the Republic of Congo began falling ill last month, scientists quickly suspected Ebola. The virus had been confirmed in tests on the bodies of animals found dead in surrounding forests, and bush meat is a staple among the local population. Knowing how people may initially have contracted the virus has given medical experts a jumpstart on the epidemic, which has so far killed at least 64 people. But the larger question remains. Where does the deadly Ebola virus hide between outbreaks?
  • NASA proceeds on plan for orbiter to replace shuttles - As investigators search for the cause of the Columbia disaster, NASA is moving ahead with plans to develop a new craft that would replace shuttles on space station missions by 2012 and respond quickly to space station emergencies. The space agency released the first set of mission needs and requirements Wednesday for the Orbital Space Plane, which would be designed to transport a crew of four to and from the international space station. Although it includes few specifics, the plan stipulates the orbiter will be safer, cheaper and require less preparation time than the shuttle. It would be able to transport four crew members by 2012 - though it would be available for rescue missions by 2010. NASA says the craft should be able to transport injured or ill space station crew members to "definitive medical care" within 24 hours.
  • Microsoft tries to cook Hotmail spammers - Microsoft on Thursday filed a so-called John Doe suit in the federal court for the northern district of California in San Jose. The suit doesn't name defendants, but allows the plaintiff the power to issue subpoenas as part of the investigative phase of the trial.  The defendants are accused of using a "dictionary attack" to discover active Hotmail accounts. A dictionary attack is one in which a computer program goes through every entry in a dictionary in an attempt to guess passwords. In this case, the program guessed millions of random e-mail addresses to see which ones were active, Microsoft alleged.
  • Microsoft to buy Connectix - Microsoft plans to take a giant leap into the server consolidation space this week by announcing the acquisition of virtual server software company Connectix.  The software giant, which is expected to formally unveil the deal Thursday, will use the technology to allow customers to carve out multiple partitions on a single Intel-based server, allowing them to run multiple instances of a single operating system and multiple workloads.
  • Watch out for those malicious referrer links - Bloggers were warned this week to raise their guard against posting potentially malicious referrer links into their Web logs. It's potentially easy to hijack blogs through mendacious JavaScript code, a posting on one Web log (kasia in a nutshell) notes.  So the message is to double check referrers to make sure they link to a valid site, with links back to the blogger's site (if you will).
  • NHS builds fraud detection system - The NHS hopes to slash its losses through fraud by up to 40 per cent over the next three years, using data analysis and visualisation software from business intelligence company SAS.  The NHS Counter Fraud Service (CFS) will deploy a new fraud detection system that uses neural networking developed by SAS to predict where fraud is most likely to occur.
