Consumerism and its antisocial effects can be turned on -- or off
Money doesn't buy happiness. Neither does materialism: research shows that people who place a high value on wealth, status, and stuff are more depressed and anxious and less sociable than those who do not. Now new research shows that materialism is not just a personal problem. It's also environmental.

23:59In the face of mass deforestation of the Amazon, recent findings indicate that we could learn from its earliest inhabitants who managed their farmland sustainably. Research shows for the first time that indigenous people, living in the savannas around the Amazonian forest, farmed without using fire. Instead early inhabitants practiced 'raised-field' farming, which involved constructing small agricultural mounds with wooden tools. These raised fields provided better drainage, soil aeration and moisture retention: ideal for an environment that experiences both drought and flooding.

23:59Researchers have developed a novel technique that may give doctors a faster and more sensitive tool to detect pathogens associated with inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease. The new nanoparticle-based technique also may be used for detection of other microbes that have challenged scientists for centuries because they hide deep in human tissue and are able to reprogram cells to successfully evade the immune system.

Now from AT&T -- Unlocked iPhones
Unlocking an iPhone used to be a major sin against Apple and AT&T, at least in the U.S. But, late last week, AT&T announced that it would now help owners of older, out-of-contract iPhones to unlock them, starting on Easter Sunday.AT&T said in a statement that the only requirements are that the user's account must be in good standing, the device cannot be associated with an active AT&T account, and the customer "needs to have fulfilled their contract term, upgraded under one of our upgrade policies or paid an early termination fee."
IMEI Number Given those conditions, AT&T's offer applies to the earlier iPhone models -- the original one, the 3G, 3GS, and 4.
To unlock such a model, the user provides the IMEI, or International Mobile Equipment Identity, number at an AT&T store or over the phone, receives an e-mail from Apple with the instructions and reference codes, and follows the steps. The IMEI is found in Settings>General>About.
A specific account can only receive up to five unlock codes in a year. To unlock a phone currently on an iPhone contract, an early termination fee is required.
Unlocked iPhones will work on T-Mobile's network, but at slower-than-3G data speeds. When traveling abroad, users can get onto a local GSM wireless carrier via a new SIM card. Older, unlocked iPhones will not work on CDMA-based Sprint or Verizon networks.
Verizon and Sprint both allow their iPhones, even under contract, to be unlocked for use when traveling in other countries, which could be one reason why AT&T has given in. Apple sells unlocked iPhones, which it has done for some time in Europe and other markets, and has been doing in the U.S. since last summer.

23:31After first trying to compete with photo filter and sharing application Instagram, social media giant Facebook this week instead plunked down a cool billion in cash and stock to buy the company.
"For years, we've focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your friends and family." Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on his Facebook page Monday. "Now, we'll be able to work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on your interests."
No Integration Zuckerberg emphasized that while Instagram employees will now work for Facebook, the company will be run independently because "we need to be mindful about keeping and building on Instagram's strengths and features rather than just trying to integrate everything into Facebook."
Developed by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, Instagram launched via Apple's App Store in October 2010, and less than a year later claimed 10 million users.
As recently as August, Facebook was working on developing its own filters to give users' photos a retro look, as Instagram does, The New York Times reported. The paper said the social media giant had also made an attempt to buy Instagram then, after it raised $7 million in a round of funding from Benchmark Capital. Reports said Monday that the San Francisco-based company had been approved for another $50 million from various investors, though the free app currently generates no income.
Monday's news fueled speculation that Facebook, on its way to an expected $100 billion initial public stock offering, viewed the fast-growing application as a potential competitor that could capture the interest of young people who may be getting bored with Facebook.
Last week, Instagram released an Android app in addition to its already successful iOS app for iPhone, giving it access to the...

Niceness is in Your DNA, Scientists Find
