How Apple Pay Could Change the Buying Experience
How Apple Pay Could Change the Buying Experienceby Don Reisinger
It's Not Available YetApple said that it won't make Apple Pay available until October. One reason it wasn't available when Apple launched its new iPhone 6 smartphones is because the company wants to get the technology right. However, delaying the launch might also give Apple more time to explain to potential partners how they can benefit from the mobile payment solution.
Touch ID Is Required to Make a PurchaseTouch IDApple's fingerprint sensor built into the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plusis required to make a purchase. Users point the device close to a payment kiosk and then use their fingerprints to confirm their intent to purchase. Apple argues that its Touch ID platform will make transactions more secure.
You'll Need an iPhone 6While the iPhone 5S might have one component needed for Apple PayTouch IDthe device doesn't have the other necessary element. Built into the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is a near-field communication chip that communicates with payment kiosks. Since the iPhone 5S does not come with that chip, it will not work with Apple Pay.
Apple Pay Will Be Integrated Into AppsApple Pay will work with a wide range of applications, including Disney Store, Groupon, Uber, Target, Starbucks and, of course, Apple's own retail program. While Apple has said that more apps will be added over time, the company has already done a solid job of bringing app makers into the fold. Hopefully, more developers will join in over time.
Pick the Card of Your ChoiceOne of the nice things about Apple Pay is its flexibility. The service works with Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Apple says it has also partnered with several banksincluding Bank of America, Capital One and Chaseto ensure their credit cards are also compatible with the service, regardless of the credit company behind them.
Neither Identity nor Card Number Is VisibleApple has gone a long way toward ensuring secure transactions. Whenever a purchase is made, Apple Pay creates a unique payment ID and hides all personally identifiable information from the retailer. All Apple and the retailer see are that unique identifier and the amount. No card information or personal information is ever shared, effectively sidestepping recent issues of cardholders having their information stolen when retailers get hacked.
No One Can See What You've PurchasedFollowing that, Apple has made a stern commitment to all consumers: No onenot even the governmentwill be able to see what was purchased with Apple Pay. Recently, the FBI spoke out against that, saying it paves the way for improper use of Apple Pay and it could shield criminals. So far, Apple hasn't budged from its position, and it's making those in the law enforcement community awfully concerned.
Yes, Debit Cards Work, TooThere have been some questions over whether debit cards will be accepted with Apple Pay. According to the company's site, debit cards offered through several banks, including Bank of America and Citi, will be accepted. Over time, other banks, including USAA and PNC, will also support Apple Pay. Local banks, at least for now, appear to be out of the loop.
Apple Is Promising 220,000 LocationsAt launch, Apple Pay will work at 220,000 retail locations, the company has confirmed. Apple Pay will work at McDonald's, Macy's, Sephora, Staples and many other retailers. While the list of participating retailers isn't exhaustive, it's a good start.
Apple Is Promising More SupportSo, what's next for Apple Pay? According to the company, much more. Apple says that it's working hard to bring on more retailers and banks and will continue to bring developers into the fold so they can offer the payment option to their users. Apple Pay is in its infancy, but Apple claims that many companies are excited to join the program.
Apple Pay represents the culmination of technologies the Cupertino, Calif.-based company has, for years, not necessarily been willing to accept. The mobile payment platform relies on a near-field communication (NFC) chip, credit cards stored in a secure wallet and partnerships with retailers that Apple had until now not been engaged with. Apple Pay is a major step for the company and arguably the biggest advancement to Apple's payments solutions in quite some time. Still, Apple Pay hasn't launched yet—it's expected to be available in October—and is a confusing solution for many people who haven't spent considerable time examining it. While the company discussed Apple Pay's features to some degree at its iPhone 6 event earlier in September, there is much more to learn and much more for the average user to understand before deciding to make a move toward using Apple Pay. So, in the following slides, eWEEK takes a deep dive into Apple Pay to determine what it offers and how it might affect the buying experience. Whether that impact will be positive or negative, however, remains to be seen.

It was a reunion of sorts in the courtroom of U.S. District Judge Jeffrey T. Miller.
It's been years since players in the infamous 2005 Strippergate trial were together. On March 5, some of them reconvened over a request by former strip club owner Michael Galardi to end three-years of supervised release early.
Galardi's argument: He admitted guilt and offered cooperation even before he and elected officials were charged in 2003 in the scheme to trade campaign contributions for political favors for his Cheetahs club.
He spent a year in prison from July 2007 to 2008 and about six months in a halfway house — which amounted to a year less than his original sentence and about 15 months on supervised release.

2CoolTek uses the shopping cart technology of Freemerchant.com, an e-commerce platform. As the name suggests, Felts doesn't pay anything for the service; Freemerchant makes money from partnerships with companies that provide services to 2CoolTek and the other small businesses that use Freemerchant. He uses HyperMart to host the 2CoolTek home page at a cost of $10 per month.
While Johnson, Silberman and Felts all sound satisfied with the progress their sites have made, none is ruling out joining forces with another company, or selling altogether. Johnson, for instance, notes that Underneath.com is constrained by its limited capital.
"We want to grow faster than what the business can do," he says. "We're not scalable. We couldn't support 10,000 orders per day if we got them."
Johnson's comment brings up what may be the biggest threat facing profitable niche players: many don't have the resources to significantly scale up without taking on a partner. This is critical, says Vogtle. In addition to unique products, niche players that plan to stay around for a while need the capacity to grow and handle larger volumes of business. Both Johnson and Silberman, for instance, have talked with potential investors and partners.
Still, the fact that these retailers have done as well as they have so far shows that solid business practices and strategies-finding a unique market, knowing one's customers and developing innovative ways to stretch a budget-are as applicable on the web as they are off.
A competitor to Underneath.com, complete with a reportedly high-priced management team and venture funding, sprang up in Atlanta-Underneath's own backyard. The company spent itself out of existence, and eventually was sold, says Johnson.
Underneath.com, which had been operating out of Johnson's late grandmother's house and was viewed as backward by the technology leaders in Atlanta still is alive and growing. "We're now in a real office/warehouse in Atlanta, and we're the number one site in this market space," says Johnson.

E-retailers sharpening focus
In their quest for profit, e-retailers are improving performance while taking steps to increase profitability, says a recent Shop.org/The Boston Consulting Group survey. "We are seeing the results of this more focused approach, as online retailers improve performance on the key metrics with the largest impact on the bottom line-customer acquisition cost, conversion rates and loyalty rates," says James Vogtle, director of e-commerce research at BCG. "Online retailers will need to continue this disciplined approach to reach profitability."
These findings, based on a survey of 66 North American online retailers, show customer acquisition costs continuing to decline from $71 in Q4 1999, to $45 in Q1 2000, to $40 in Q2. This is partly due to a shift from television advertising to online advertising and marketing. While this is a significant decline, overall customer acquisition costs remain higher than in Q3 1999 ($35).
As well, e-retailers are spending less on brand awareness, focusing more on customer retention. This strategy is paying off as almost half of their revenues in Q2 came from repeat buyers, up sharply from 1999.
"The average online retailer requires three purchases to break even on the acquisition cost of each new customer," says Kate Delhagen of the 400-member trade association Shop.org. "With the high cost of acquiring new customers, many online retailers are focusing on increasing the frequency of purchases from existing customers."
Other findings from the survey include:
- Conversion rates improved in Q2 (1.9%) vs. 1999 (1.8%).
- Marketing budgets spent online jumped to 59% in Q2 from
49% in Q1.
- Returns as a percent of revenue dropped to 5.7% in Q2, down
from 7.6% in Q1, and in line with the 5.6% observed in 1999.
- 86% have specifically addressed the issue of profitability.
- 29% deferred site upgrades.
- 11% of survey participants used layoffs to improve profitability.

The proposed research addresses the broad SRP theme of Detection Research and more specifically the development of passive samplers for multi-chemical detection and determination of the degree of bioavailability in water and sediment.
Aim 1 will develop a universal passive sampling device (PSD) for measuring the time-weighted-average chronic exposure to hundreds of organic chemicals in water. We will advance the theory, design, and application of PSDs to a very broad range of physico-chemical properties (e.g., KOW = 0-9) so that nearly every organic chemical on the Superfund Priority List of Chemicals, and many of their metabolites, will be sampled by a single PSD. We hypothesize that a mixed-polymer sorptive phase contained within a non-selective and highly porous membrane will allow linear uptake of nearly all organic chemicals.
Aim 2 will establish the use of PSDs to measure the bioavailable fraction of PCBs and PCB metabolites in water, sediment, and soil. We will conduct laboratory bioavailability experiments with PCB-contaminated soil, sediment and water to advance our understanding of the mechanisms controlling PCB bioavailability and perform field verification at NPL sites. In collaboration with Project 1, we will use extracts of our samples to determine the relationship of our bioavailability measure to the dioxin toxic equivalency factor response in Project 1 cell assays.
Aim 3 will establish the use of PSDs to measure the bioavailable fraction of PAHs and PAH metabolites in water, sediment, and soil. In collaboration with Project 5, we will perform studies very similar to those in Aim 2 to develop the use of PSDs to measure PAH and PAH metabolite bioavailability under both controlled laboratory conditions and at NPL sites. This work will advance our understanding of and ability to measure the partitioning of PAHs and metabolites among dissolved organic carbon, soft and hard (soot) particulate carbon, weathered oil/oil product phases, and biota. We hypothesize that our novel PSD design will provide an accurate measure of bioavailable chronic exposure under a broad range of conditions and that PSD-derived data will overcome a critical barrier to more accurate estimates of bioavailability and risk.
The proposed research addresses the broad SRP theme of Detection Research and more specifically the development of passive samplers for multi-chemical detection and determination of the degree of bioavailability in water and sediment. We will study over 100 of the chemicals on the CERCLA Priority List of chemicals and perform field validation studies at several NPL sites.

Mountain Passes
... I was heading west because I was mostly on the inside lane. The worst climb was the Salmo Creston road. No wonder it's often closed in winter. The last 10 minutes to the summit were at quite a pitch and then heading down the other side was at least 10 miles of 6 to 8% grade. Vehicles were passing me while I slowly made my way down in 2nd gear. It just felt safer.
Anyway, ...
Nelson, our spiritual home.
With all this adventure behind us we finally arrived in the brilliant town of Nelson. Only to be told that our visit coincided with the annual car festival in town. Meaning all the campsites were full. The lady at the information centre then cautiously informed us that she had a B&B option available, but that the proprietor was a bit "arty" and might take some getting used to. Tired of the road we decided to take the chance, and will always be glad we did. Maya turned out to a lovely ...
I heart the Kootenays
... speak and said that my handsome companion should take me to the local women's couturier as I appeared "barely clothed" and we wouldn't want the town to start gossiping about me, now would I? The young woman stayed in character and was fantastic in her role, engaging with other guests around her. I was also super impressed at how the actors and actresses managed to stay ...
Whitewater/Red Mountain/Nelson Bust trip
... were free, so we didn't feel guilty to take our time until we hit the slopes. 4 chairlifts and a T-bar were spread across 3 peaks, unfortunately one shut, so a cat took us across to the 3rd peak to access the last chairlift. Red Mountain is home to one of the oldest chairlifts in North America. Our little gang didn't get out there until around midday, we went straight across to Grey Peak after the 10min cat drive, it was our first time on one, it was ...
... Hill is located just outside of Nelson (a very short drive). The mountain is known for powder snowfalls with a vertical drop of 623 metres (2, 044 feet) and 1,184 acres of skiable terrain (479 ha) (Check it out - > http://www.skiwhitewater.com). As Jeff and I did not bring any ski gear with us, we had to borrow ski clothes and skies from Max and our niece Tegan (shhhh – don't tell her!!). It was the highlight of our trip – I loved getting back ...

Here is an older list of some of the addons and modules we have created for Interspire that are available today (just contact me if you want something, changes are I have it already built or can build it pretty quickly (this is really old but important for my blogs SEO for please look past the simple layout and crude graphics)):
Voucher / Coupon Add-on w/ Verification Portal
This modification allows you to create Vouchers / Coupons that get automatically generated by select products you can configure in the back-end administration panel in seconds.
The vouchers generated can use any graphic or HTML layout and automatically place the voucher number created (the algorithm used to generated the voucher numbers is configurable) onto the graphic to be printed by the customer. The add-on also supports bar codes if needed. You can dynamically generate vouchers with the Vendors name, include a description of the product the voucher was generated for (such as 1 Spa Treatment or 1 Free cup of coffee redeemable by the Vendor the product is associated to). The voucher can include any information you need displayed and will even automatically generate expiration dates (which are configurable as well).
I have also created a verification system that allows vendors to browse to a URL and simply type in the voucher number to verify that it is valid and has not been used. The system doesn't check to see if the voucher has a valid format, it checks a database to make sure the coupon was generated and associated with a valid order. If the voucher is valid the vendor can mark the voucher as used to prevent customers from sharing the vouchers. This setup allows you to be sure that no one will be able to take advantage of the system by generating fake coupons / vouchers.
This add-on can be configured anyway you need it to work for your business. The client who initially requested this add-on is using it to sell various packages from vendors in the local area. If you are utilizing a bar code system the module can be configured to work with a wide variety of setups.
When a purchase is made that will create a coupon the order confirmation email contains a link to allow the customer to print the coupons. An additional email is also sent containing just the vouchers for quick and easy printing. If the voucher needs to be reprinted at anytime the customer can simply log into their account and view their order history. From the customers order history screen they can also print any vouchers generated with that order.
Recurring Billing / Subscription Support
This addon which allows you to accept recurring payments with Interspire Shopping Cart! Currently, the module works with Authorize.net but I can easily add support for any payment processor currently supported by Interspire.
The addon currently supports the ability to choose which product you want to set for recurring billing as well as the length of the billing cycles. Customers have the ability to view all current subscriptions, records of each payment and they have the option to cancel their current subscription. When the time comes for a bill, the addon will bill the customer and in the backend of the cart the order will appear in the orders page. The customer also will receive an email notifying them that their product has been purchased.
FedEx / UPS / USPS Integration Add-ons
These Integration Add-ons for Interspire is aimed to alleviate the monotonous task of duplicating data entry to and from the shopping cart and various shipping providers.
When utilizing any of these shipping Integration Add-ons this process is simplified to a single click. Any item(s) that are currently in the "Awaiting Fulfillment Status" are processed.
UPS Integration Add-on
1) Description of the Integration Add-on
The UPS Integration Add-on for Interspire is aimed to alleviate the monotonous task of duplicating data entry to and from the shopping cart and UPS.
When orders are placed into the cart and the funds have been received, items are placed into an "Awaiting Fulfillment" status in the administrative backend of the shopping cart. At this point under normal circumstances, the information entered by the customer, such as address and method of shipping need to be entered into the UPS Online Tools via the management console provided at ups.com. After the information has been entered into UPS and verified, the shipping department is then required to go back to the administrative backend of Interspire to enter the tracking number generated by UPS, then update the items status to "Awaiting Shipping".
When utilizing this UPS Integration Add-on this process is simplified to a single click. Any item(s) that are currently in the "Awaiting Fulfillment Status" are processed. (NOTE: The UPS Shipping Tools API does NOT come by default when a shipper signs up for UPS Online Tools. This tool is a premium tool that has to be requested by the shipper. Verification can take up to 48 hours before an access key will be supplied.)
2) Utilizing the UPS Integration Add-on
After the add-on has been installed, the add-on needs to be activated. In the upper right hand corner of the administrative backend simply click Addons > View Addons.
(This is a view of the add-ons settings page that you will see)
Simply click the UPS Integration Link then click "Save". Now you can access the UPS Integration Menu next to General Settings.
Simply input your UPS login information and click "Save". Now the add-on will appear in the Orders menu.
(Location of the add-on in the backend administration console of Interspire)
(Once clicked you will see the following screen)
Once the shipping department browses to the UPS Integration Add-on, the add-on will search all the records in the database and display the number of items currently "Awaiting Fulfillment". Once the "Get Labels" button is clicked all of the orders are then submitted to UPS Online Tools. The addresses are verified against UPS to ensure accuracy. Then the tracking numbers are generated and orders are entered into the system at UPS. If there is an error with one of the orders then add-on will instruct you which order has an error and tell the user what the error was (e.g. Incorrect Address, Invalid Phone Number, etc.)
As soon as the add-on has finished processing all labels will automatically be sent to the Thermal Printers queue and be printed off in bulk. The status of successful orders will be changed in the backend to "Awaiting Shipping" and the tracking numbers will be automatically entered into the backend of the shopping cart. At this point the customer is then emailed with their tracking number and status of the package. The shipping department simply needs to package up the items ordered and apply the label from the thermal printer and UPS will pick up the parcels at the next designated pickup time.
Drop-ship Integration API / Sell products & manage orders on remote sites
The API allows storeowners to utilize a single installation of Intespire to manage products and orders across multiple storefronts regardless of the platform being used on the other sites selling the products. The API is also designed to run by utilizing Interspire to simply manage all the products and orders placed on remote sites without actually selling any products locally. The front end can be completely disabled.
Some clients I have worked with either make use of the Vendor edition of Interspire, which effectively allows them to give Vendors access to the backend of Interspire and upload their own products. When orders are made the Vendors are responsible for fulfilling and shipping their own items. Some clients don't sell any products of their own and simply sell products that their vendors add to the product inventory. Interspire is setup to handle these sorts of stores with no problem, but there currently isn't a very good way to export this data and make the products available on other store front, regardless if the stores or powered by Interspire or another shopping cart software.
This API allows for a storeowner to integrate with other storefronts, regardless of the cart being used without the need to create multiple backend consoles or shopping cart installations. The API creates up to date product feeds on the fly to be loaded into other websites, Interspire or not. So the goal is to allow other websites to sell your products (or products from Vendors you manage). So all orders, inventory levels, product descriptions, etc are sent via a CSV or XML feed to a remote site where the data can be parsed and placed into that stores database. When orders are made on affiliate sites the orders are sent back to the API and the orders are placed into the Interspire backend the same as if orders were placed on the Interspire cart locally. The product inventories are automatically updated and the products feed accurately reflect the new product inventory levels based on the orders reported. When the orders are fulfilled or the status is changed the new status and tracking information for instance is then passed back to the remote site. This seamless integration allows for a single Interspire installation to handle orders form various sites without the hassle of creating multiple product inventories and forcing vendors log into multiple backbend's to manage products and orders. This setup drastically reduces duplication of work and reduces the chances for human error.
The module needs to be customized for each unique scenario but it is setup to communicate with remote sites via CSV and XML formats or by even remotely updating remote databases.
Advanced Reporting Addon
This add-on is a backend-reporting console that allows storeowners to quickly view vital statistics in regards to how their store is performing. All reports have the option to choose date ranges from which the reports generate their data.
Some of the data displayed on these reports is available from the backend of Interspire but this add-on displays all the data is a easy to read format. All reports are sort-able by the various columns to be either ascending or descending.
This add-on is particularly useful when you are dealing with multiple Brands / Vendors and need to keep an eye on the speed and accuracy that orders are being fulfilled.
All reports can be for the most part customized to display whatever data you might possibly need. Whatever report you need, I can most certainly code it to be used with this add-on.
Some of the reports this add-on generates…
Daily Snapshot – This report displays the current daily sales, total orders and quantity of items ordered. Also recorded are lists of all current orders that are new, stale (orders that have been placed X days ago but have still not been fulfilled) and late orders (same as above but older that stale orders). (X is a configurable variable)
Sales by Brand / Vendor – Displays a list by Brand / Vendor of how many products were ordered and the total revenue of the products ordered.
Top 25 By Revenue – This report shows, which products have generated, the most revenue, the total revenue generated and the quantity of items sold.
Top 25 By Units – The most popular products and the amount of the products sold.
Average Processing Speed – Shows the average time is takes for vendors / brands to fulfill orders.
Late Shipments – Shows the number of shipments that vendors / brands shipped late and calculates a percentage of the late orders to total orders.
Fill Rate – Total percentage and number of orders that were placed and fulfilled.
MP3 Media Player for your product pages
Play music files on your product pages! With drag and drop admin panel! This addon allows you to add sample tracks to your product pages. Using a highly skin-able open source player (http://www.flabell.com/flash/Flash-Mp3-Player-29) you are able to create a beautiful player that looks great! The player also has the ability to "Share / Embed" on other website and when the Buy button is clicked the user is directed back to your product page so the user can purchase the item!
The backend features a robust system allowing you to choose which products you would like to add music to. Simply choose which mp3 files you would like to attach to a product and upload files to your server. You can configure how many samples you would like as well as the titles of each song. After you have all the samples you would like the addon supports drag and drop ordering of the playlist associated with that product. The addon also allows you to assign a image to each album you add. Need to delete or rename a file? No problem, its just a simple click of a button!
Sales Tax Reporting
This add-on allows you to generate various reports by state or as a whole to show how much sales tax has been collected inbetween selected date ranges.

The only bit I don't quite understand is why they don't piece together some completely mammoth DNA, and try to grow that in an artificial uterus? What would the additional complications be, beyond hacking together an elephant-mammoth hybrid like they propose?
It is possible that they don't have the complete, undamaged mammoth DNA. Also, the cellular organs and other parts do have to come somewhere, or recreated. That is the amazing part of the cellular theory: all current life is a continuum from the first cell. It would be interesting to have an artificial uterus with all the roles of viruses, hormones and others factors replicated, but as of now it probably doesn't exist.
mammoth DNA is pretty badly broken up
Just use some frog DNA to fix the bad parts.
Didn't you ever listen to that song by Loverboy?
Frog and mammoth DNA just won't splice.
Really? There have been instances of almost intact mammoths being found in receding glaciers, how bad does DNA get degraded from freezing? Heck, in this find [cnet.com] blood was actually flowing out of the carcass as it thawed. If we can sequence the neanderthal genome using much older samples I don't see a reason we couldn't sequence the much more recent mammoth genome.
The only bit I don't quite understand is why they don't piece together some completely mammoth DNA, and try to grow that in an artificial uterus? What would the additional complications be, beyond hacking together an elephant-mammoth hybrid like they propose?
I think because there is no confidence that we have an error-free mammoth genome. So it seems much more likely that modifying the elephant genome will yield success.
Yeah, but you can't turn a Lada into a Lamborgini, no matter how much you pound the sheetmetal.
Yeah, but you can't turn a Lada into a Lamborgini, no matter how much you pound the sheetmetal.
Then you are not pounding the sheetmetal right. -BTW Lamborghini's are fiberglass.
It still begs the question. Why? It's a waste of money and resources that could be focused on actually contributing to society. "Because we can" is not a good justification.
Why? It's a waste of money and resources that could be focused on actually contributing to society.
The technique they are using — CRISPR — is what we just discussed [slashdot.org] as applicable to humans. If splicing mammoth into elephant yields a viable organism, some day it may be possible to splice useful features of Neanderthals and other extinct human species, or even apes into humans — yielding strength [wikipedia.org], resistance to diseases, or adaptability to uncomfortable conditions (think Antarctica or even Mars).
Eugenics became a dirty word because of Nazis [wikipedia.org], who would improve humanity by killing off the "degenerates". But there is nothing wrong with improving the human stock per se... For example, Heinlein in "Beyond This Horizon" [wikipedia.org] describes a society, where this was done successfully — while also explaining, how it can be done (very) wrong as well.
That's an interesting thought- I hadn't thought of giving humans genes for cold-hardiness, but certainly, even beyond increased Mars/Antarctica survivability, cold-resistant humans would require less energy costs in deep space exploration. If we ever got advanced enough to send a ship off to another star system, having humans that have lower energy requirements could allow us to send more humans further.
For example, Heinlein in "Beyond This Horizon" describes a society, where this was done successfully
With all due respect to Heinlein, he's a fantastic writer in my opinion, it's just a story. There are a hell of a lot of variables in the real world. In a story, you only need to focus on what you want to. Life is much messier. You may be able to reproduce the result you are looking for the first time. But it's more likely to be a disaster the first dozen or couple hundred times. Heinlein was much smarter, and more pragmatic, than most of our decision makers are.
it's just a story
It still provides a lot more details — and answers a lot more questions — than a Slashdot post can be expected to. If it is Ok to outline one's vision of solution in the latter, it is certainly Ok to refer people to the former. As I did...
Sure, it is "just a story", but until such things are implemented for real, all discussions will have to deal with the hypotheticals.
Eugenics became a dirty word because of Nazis, who would improve humanity by killing off the "degenerates". But there is nothing wrong with improving the human stock per se..
Perhaps not, except for the fact that if you *don't* "kill off the degenerates", then they will continually breed with your so-called "improved stock", defeating any attempts to improve them over the course of generations, unless you legislate mandatory sterilization for absolutely everyone that does not fit certain criteria, which its
if you *don't* "kill off the degenerates", then they will continually breed with your so-called "improved stock"
Not if the genomes of the new embryos are edited with the same vigor and propaganda cover as vaccinations are done today...
Even more conservatively, instead of editing, Heinlein's book describes the method, whereby the child conceived by two parents will not be a hitherto impossible "superhuman" — he'll just be the best possible child these two parents can conceive. Human stock then improve
It still begs the question. Why? It's a waste of money and resources that could be focused on actually contributing to society.
Just think of the money we'll make selling hunts!
Ooo, yeah, let's see them do that right. Here's your spear, here's your rock...now you stand over here with the long spear. Plant the end right there...
Because sled dogs aren't good for heavy loads. Because environmentalists don't want you hunting polar bears.
More seriously, a wide ranging ability to edit genes is one of the most powerful advances for humanity, ever. Although it ranks below the level of language, it is on the level of fuel-powered engines.
This sort of experimentation on humans would be widely decried. To safely make major genetic changes to a human, first requires the sort of experiments that make a wooly mammoth.
They should put that research into something much more profound... Like making an elephant or mammoth with 5 asses.
and try to grow that in an artificial uterus
First you need to invent an artificial uterus, then you you need some complete mammoth DNA, then you can grow your mammoth.
But we are at the point now that if we throw enough money at something we can make virtually anything we want. That's what I think. =)
And secondly, it is really odd that you choose something like an owl wing to base your scientific musings
Not really - it was reported recently and also outlines that we do not have a universal equation for airflow (no matter how much money has been thrown at it for over a century).
As for your link, it's the starting point of the people who are trying to understand owl's silent flight so that they can make aircraft quieter. It's a very very long way from where we are now to being able to WORK OUT WHY and ma
As others have already said, we don't really have a whole, undamaged genome for a mammoth, but an artificial uterus is technologically still very far beyond our capabilities. The only option is to implant the fetus in an existing animal, in which case there may be compatibility issues - the fetus has to be a reasonably close match to the mother, immunologically speaking. A hybrid may be close enough for it to be feasible, and perhaps it is possible to get closer and closer to 100% mammoth by adding more and more for each generation, who knows.
I actually attended a talk about this, and here's what I got out of it. So, even if you had perfect Mammoth DNA, you don't have a Mammoth uterus. And the mammoth DNA isn't that different from an elephant's DNA. And whether genes are expressed has a lot to do with epigenetics, which in turn relies on the environment, which would be, for lack of anything else being available, an elephant's uterus. So, what you end up getting, after all this time and treasure, is probably going to pretty much be an elephan
And think of the possibilities: mammoth steaks in every restaurant! My mouth waters at the thought....
Note, for the humour-impaired, that the above was a joke. Now if we were to re-engineer the Dodo (tastes like chicken!), then we'd be cooking....

You jest, but according to this [sciencedaily.com], mammoth was indeed the meat of choice for our neolithic ancestors.
Seems like we've seen a lot of these over the last few days.

Yes, they've invented a machine that cranks them out.
..... to a real life skyrim experience
The answer is likely in there: http://news.nationalgeographic... [nationalgeographic.com]
The relevant bit is "At that time African elephants branched off first. Then just 440,000 years later, a blink of an eye in evolutionary time, Asian elephants and mammoths diverged into their own separate species."
That's very interesting. Among other things, it implies that Mammoths and Asian elephants are closer related to each other than either is to African elephants (but not by much).
Another way of putting this is that its probably more accurate to consider Mammoths as just another species of Elephant.
There used to (in historic times) be another relatively small North African Elephant [wikipedia.org] species (Hannibal used them in his war with Rome), that is also now extinct. There were quite recently lots of island-based pyg

Keep it in it's mother's basement and it might start posting on Slashdot.
So this is actually whipslash's secret plan for increasing Slashdot readership?
National Geographic reported that extinction rates are 1,000 times faster due to human activity[1]. So I predict that the woolly mammoth will be the first species to go extinct twice. #f1RST

The problem there is that the populations in most western countries are already stagnant or even falling, so "breeding caps" would mostly apply to developing countries. There wouldn't be any political will to impose something like this.
Different people, different interests. If you would rather help existing species, go right ahead.
people with economic interests will say "we can always bring them back" just the same as they say "we can use technology to cool the climate" now.
From where I'm sitting, I hear them saying "NO. NO. NOOOO. CLIMATE CHANGE NOT HAPPENING. NO! AND GAS PRICES AND JOBS! TAXES TAXES TAXES! EVIL!" and voters saying "Hmm... that sounds more reasonable than the scientists." Geoengineering and de-extinction are unnecessary arguments given that people already are being convinced by simple denials and short-sighted economic scare arguments.
So I think you have it backwards. We need both technologies as backups because the dumb masses are too stupid to make the r
In a very broad sense, what's in it for me? Even thinner phones and tablets? Any other implications for tech geeks?

It's news for NERDS dude. If you don't think this is at least interesting you can hand in your nerd card.
Yet another idiot thinking this is solely a "tech geek site." Ignoring, of course, the fact that a) genetics is high tech, and b)many bio stories have been featured here since day 1.
Diana was the MIT student who wrote the April 1st article, "http://hoaxes.org/af_database/permalink/retrobreeding_the_woolly_mammoth". I remember laughing with it, and I've been laughing ever since because Diana gets more citations and calls about that joke article than about anything she's ever written professionally. And yes, *people keep citing it in scientific papers* as an example of successful breeding of an extinct species.
I love Diana as a person, and this is what people will remember her for, no m
Hey I have an idea. Why don't we create a park on an island...we could call it Jurassic Mammoth Park or something...where mammoths roam free and you could go on safari tours to see them. What could possibly go wrong with that.
Will it have Unix system? I ask because I know those.
Once they aren't in danger then can we play mad science and bring back the Mammoth, after making sure the Eurasian Tundra isn't gone and can support them.
Next step, Dino chickens as pets please.

Why do this, so we can make it extinct again?
In our current climate, especially one of a warming earth, I feel that humans ought to consider whether they're bringing an animal into the world to suffer a great deal... where will these live? Will they only live in enclosures and zoos?
Mankind plays God a lot, and this feels like a strange next step.
This time we'll promise to shear them.
>Why do this, so we can make it extinct again?
To practice resurrecting extinct species so we can rebuild biodiversity. To do so with an animal that catches the public's imagination so there is general enthusiasm for it.
And finally, so we can all have mammoth burgers.
This is just vapourware, we've been hearing that the Mammoth can be resurrect using Elephant surrogates for years. I would love to see Mammoths roaming around, but I'll believe it when I see it.
The ice is melting, global temperatures are going up... It seems like the perfect time to create a creature with "subcutaneous fat, long shaggy hair and cold-adapted blood".

Pleasantly surprised with the performance of this seedling on second year bloom. In a season where a late freeze caused many aborted bloomstalks, poor branching and fragile substance this seedling still managed to throw 9 buds
with each flower lasting at least 4 days. The first bloom opened on 5/8 and still has 2 buds to go on 5/23.

Software Asset Management
Negotiate from strength
1E can help you with the best approaches when responding to your vendors throughout the audit process and can equip you and your team with an understanding of common tactics and strategies that the auditor will use during the process and at final negotiations.
Your company currently spends up to 40% of its entire IT budget on software. By understanding the actual use of software, even in large-scale environments, 1E can highlight areas of direct savings for our customers.
While it is important to understand the specific strategies of a vendor for each audit, by implementing best practices aligned with the international standards which the auditors themselves use, you can minimize your audit risk and proactively reduce your likelihood and frequency of audit.
Our SAM solutions are underpinned by our AppClarity technology.
The 1E SAM team is heavily involved in the development of the international (ISO) standards, on which software vendors like Microsoft, IBM, Oracle and SAP, and auditing firms like Deloitte, KPMG, PwC and EY, base their SAM best practices on.
As high as the cost of unused software is, the implementation of a reclaim program can lead to very significant savings. For calculating total waste, we selected 35 applications (out of 1,800) to represent estimated cost of waste.
Based on 35 software titles alone, the average 20,000 seat company can look to reap the following savings:

Welcome to another installment of Fast Company's Leadership Album of the Week, where we make a pathetic (but inspired!) attempt at misinterpreting famous song lyrics for the benefit of your productivity.
We're still shaking off the hangover after our funk-filled ride with the Talking Heads's Speaking in Tongues, before learning to unplug on Sunday mornings with the Velvet Underground and Nico's debut album, The Velvet Underground & Nico. Today we bring you our most recent album to date, Nirvana's In Utero.
And for good reason. Earlier this month, a much-celebrated reissue of the album was released.
In Utero promised a more aggressively hands-on process of weeding out the mooks, a concerted effort to realign Nirvana with the artists they actually listened to and away from those they were credited with spawning. And where the album's title would reflect [Kurt] Cobain's lyrical yearning for a back-to-the-womb retreat from celebrity scrutiny.
Much like Cobain, we will use this album to incubate our (and your) best state of productivity—and creativity—to date.
That said, here are a few things to remember:
1. Play the video.
2. Understand
that we take lyrics completely out of context the value of our insights.
3. Repeat.
"Heart-Shaped Box"
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Starting with In Utero's most recognizable track, we focus on advice and, well, complaints.
Advice is a tricky subject—if you're too eager to give it, you're probably not only giving bad advice but also being a bad listener.
If you already have advice to give, you're not listening. If you already know how this story turns out, you're not listening. . . . And if you already have your counterattack planned, you're not listening. . . . Make sure that really listening is your only agenda item at that moment, if you want to build trust, develop relationships, solve problems, create collaboration, and demonstrate your leadership.
On the flip side of things, some business leaders argue that customer complaints should be seen as a gift rather than something to fear.
"Pennyroyal Tea"
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm a liar and a thief
I sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
As we've told you before, the right amount of sleep is essential for a productive and healthy life—without it, you could end up stupid, fat, dead, or just really annoying to everyone around you.
But before you run to the tea cabinet to ensure those sleep cycles (make sure you go with chamomile, not Pennyroyal), make sure you know how much sleep you really need.
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Like Kurt Cobain, you, too, can have fun when the day is done. How, you ask? Get away—far, far away—from everything and anything related to work. It's called unplugging.
Before you're ready to rid your life of an electronic haze for an entire week, we suggest starting off small: with your morning routine.
We can clutter our early hours with menial decisions: which cereal, which socks, which exercise to do. Cut those out by making a few decisions about how you make decisions—that will lend your mornings some much-needed spaciousness.
"Very Ape"
If you ever need anything please don't
Hesitate to ask someone else first
I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive
I've seen it all, I was here first
If you think you've seen it all and don't have time for anybody else's questions, you're not doing it right. Inspiration, creativity, and productivity thrive on open innovative minds.
So how do you get one of those?
Start by practicing empathy, among the most powerful leadership tools.
Become the other, and it opens up a world of understanding, in which communication becomes naturally influential, and influence becomes just another authentic dialogue. Influence is a two-way street, a give and take, a mutual learning. If I think influence is about getting another person to accept or act upon my idea, and that I will come away unchanged, I've mistaken it for control.

Biocatalytic reactions using enzymes or whole microbial cells are
increasingly employed for organic synthesis, taking advantage of their high
versatility and exquisite selectivities (chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity).
Resolution of racemates and its refinements, desymmetrisation of meso- and
prochiral compounds by oxidoreduction, some C-C bond forming reactions
and other miscellaneous reactions will be outlined, illustrating the most
characteristic aspects of environmentally friendly and yield-effective
production of commodity chemicals, stereospecific building blocks or
intermediates, and competitive step-replacement strategies for asymmetric

Might as well share some of my "art"
Well, it isnt much to look at, and really cruddy, but here is some of my horse art.
All the digitally colored pictures were done with my mouse (i dont have a tablet.. only the mouse) on an Oekaki site (where i could use the softer colors for shading) Oekaki is pretty much like MS Paint, only with a watercolor brush =)
Here's the link to my DeviantART account:
(click on "Browse Gallery" to see more of my pictures, i have a couple of pages)
Here is a quickie sample:
Gypsy, a horse a friend of mine on DeviantART owns.
Sweetie, Skippy!'s momma :)
Liberty (my 3 year old)
A character I created ^^
Temora Rose, a Unicorn character I created :)
Trinity, another character I created =)
Just wanted to share! =)
Aahhh! You are amazing! I've always really wanted to learn how to colour on the computer. =D Great job!
(I'll have to add you on DA!)
Awwww thank you guys so much *hugs*
Ive grown up drawing amongst many stuck up proud artists, so my art-esteem has gone down the crapper =/
Thank you all so much for the compliments! I love how easy the Oekaki makes things to color.. even layers are easy!!! I could never do that on PSP or Adobe or anything!
Your welcome. =] I added you on DA. I'm teelerthekitty.
Would you be able to do requests? =D
I may be able to do requests :) I usually do them for cash (5 bucks, lol.. each picture buys my horsies a bag of feed! :D)
But depending on how easy it is, i may go ahead and do it ;D I love drawing people's horses for them :)
Ohh. I see. ;) Well...there really isn't anyway I'd be able to pay you five bucks haha. I'd do it for a trade or something though. Maybe a graphic or something else? XD I'm not too great haha.
That's ok that you cant ^^ It's just what i usually market it for :)
What would you want drawn? I may be up for a request ^^
Umm maybe a picture of Copper or Bam-Bam (my pictures are in the Horse Pictures section ;) ). I love your cartoony style =D Its so cute.
those are awesome skippy!!!!
