Stallman Takes His Free-Software Crusade to Argentina

Stallman said he is generally a fan of the online collaborative encyclopedia but it is on the narrow grounds that befit a single-issue activist who has spent more than two decades preaching the cause that software wants to be free ?- ?free as in freedom not free as in beer. ? Translation: It’s not necessary that software be cheap but once someone owns it she should be free to do with it what she pleases. This principle is true for Wikipedia in that anyone is free to reuse its contents in any way he likes as long as he follows the same ethic with a new product and credits Wikipedia. That applies to a blogger as well as to companies that have created businesses around Wikipedia content including one publishing house that has republished German Wikipedia content in book form while agreeing to those terms. But that is where the Stallman-Wikipedia concord begins and ends.

For older drivers software to train the brain

But this problem doesn’t affect only the oldest people. Some experts say that the speed and accuracy of the brain’s visual processing can begin to gradually decline in middle age or even earlier. Now there’s a software program for both PCs and Macs that claims it can “train the brain to think and react faster on the road” by putting a user through brief repetitive exercises aimed at bolstering his or her visual-processing prowess. It’s called DriveSharp and is from a San Francisco-based company called Posit Science (positscience. com) which also produces other brain-training programs. DriveSharp isn’t a driving simulator but a pair of simple-looking visual memory games plus assessment tests that Posit Science says are based on published scientific research.
