Bitcoin is undergoing a classic correction after quintupling in price over the past 30 days. The currency, which was trading as high as $265 earlier today on Mt. Gox, plummeted and is now trading at around $150.
Helmut Kohl, Germany's former chancellor, has admitted that he acted like a "dictator"
to bring in the single currency to the country, otherwise he "would
have lost" had he held a referendum.

Someday, Bitcoin prices may come crashing down, causing the suckers who own them then to lose their shirts.
But, in the meantime, those who are speculating in Bitcoin are just laughing at all the people who are dismissing Bitcoin as a bubble. These speculators have made 7X their money in six weeks, which is a return that more than justifies the risk they took of potentially losing everything. (As long as the chance of each outcome is roughly the same, downside of 100% and upside of 600% is a great bet.)

Small studies with low power undermine the reliability of science and new evidence suggests that low power is the norm in neuroscience.
This comic is a (still ongoing) series of pictures, that was updating every 30 minutes, but is now updating on the hour. As of this writing, it is still updated after more than 246 hours - even after several new, different comics have been posted on the front page.
The comic appears to be an illustration of passing time. From the spectator's point of view, each image is meaningless by itself ; the only possible perception of time is to "wait for it" and see how things evolve. Thus, time is in the spectator's perception, not in each individual frame.

A group of European researchers has proposed the largest quantum network yet: Between Earth and the International Space Station. Such a network would see entangled photons transmitted over a distance of 250 miles — two or three times greater than previous quantum communication experiments. Not only will this be the first quantum experiment in space, but it will allow the scientists to see if entanglement really is instantaneous over long distances, and whether it’s affected by gravity.
