In his most recent roundup, Brain covered the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the laser blaster that Cory blogged about on Boing Boing last week, a solar powered, semi transparent, experimental television set from Samsung, a report that found that people who take naps in the afternoon do much better on mental performance tests than people who don't take naps, a pregnant woman who conducted her own experiment to see if chivalrous behavior existed on the New York City subway system, a scary report that shows that ice loss in Antarctica and Greenland has been accelerating, a way to install the Android operating system on a Nook e-book reader to turn it into a $200 tablet computer, and a lot more.
