Cool little "history" article about the +Raspberry Pi in +WIRED . From the idea, to getting the funding till in the end being able to fully produce this as a british produce. Pretty neat!

The life of Pi: how Britain’s biggest hardware hit for a generation came to be (Wired UK)
It has no screen or keyboard, but the Raspberry Pi computer sold a million units in its first 12 months. This is how a group of Cambridge academies created Britain’s biggest hardware hit for a generation

It is good to see that open access is becoming the standard. Only sad to see that a powerful funding body like +Wellcome Trust isn't able to get closer to these rates achieved by +National Institutes of Health (NIH) !

Next step is all about full open data I hope!

"NIH sees surge in open-access manuscripts" http://feedly.com/k/19SZnw0

NIH sees surge in open-access manuscripts : Nature News Blog
In May, authors approved more than 10000 peer-reviewed manuscripts arising from NIH-funded research to go into the agency’s online free repository, PubMed Central. That’s a huge jump from the average 5100 per month in 2011–12, and suggests the agency is nearing its goal of getting everyone it …

Some new tools are being developed to enable people to construct a multiview experience from whatever is happening. By combining video sources and putting them in the right time frame you can get a much clearer view of how a story has been evolving

One example of this kind of technologies and what it can do can be found here:

This is a combination of several different footages shot at the protest at Taksim, Istanbul earlier.

So now it's final (sort off) though many genes have many transcripts in the end there is most often just one dominant one :)

+***** well done!

Genome Biology | Abstract | Transcriptome analysis of human tissues and cell lines reveals one dominant transcript per gene
RNA sequencing has opened new avenues for the study of transcriptome composition. Significant evidence has accumulated showing that the human transcriptome contains in excess of a hundred thousand different transcripts. However, it is still not clear to what extent this diversity prevails when considering the relative abundances of different transcripts from the same gene.

Does love the new +Google+ photos but does still wish at some point he would be allowed to upload also his RAW pictures to have the full thing in the cloud (and I'd expect more magic from the auto enhanced stuff when it has access to the full deal).
