MSN or Live Messenger and Windows 2003
Posted By: Mike
If you're interested in running MSN messenger under 2003, you'll quickly find out that there's an OS check under the new Live Messenger that won't let you. To get around this, you just have to install Version 7. Once this version is installed, you can update from within the program and will be able to use all subsequent versions. You can download MSN Messengeer Version 7 for Windows 2003 here.

Carbon nano tube radio....
Posted By: Nano
Apparently they can now make a radio from a nanotube...but more interestingly is the possibility of implanting a nanotube inside an individual cell in the body. Makes you wonder how far off a cancer killing nanobot is.

Another awesome advance in robotics/prosthetics.
Posted By: iRobot
This one looks a lot more like the iRobot model from the movie. If he can make a leg that works like this, I think we're just about there.
