In other news , Apple Computer stock soars on news of Apple products' memory enhancing capabilities. Apple Computer spokesperson could not be reached for comment.

Sorry. Meryl Streep says we're killing our children with poison on apples, so we've stopped eating them. (Remember her testifying on The Hill? LOL!)
"Movie Stars. *Sigh* Is there anything they DON'T know?" - Homer Simpson
An apple a day keeps the -- I forget.
Like I tell my kids, there's a reason Alex Trebek doesn't do a "Senior Jeopardy." It would be too awkard to have the first contestant spend half an hour saying "What is... umm, wait, it's right on the tip of my tongue...."
"This study was sponsored through an unrestricted grant by the U.S. Apple Association and the Apple Products Research and Education Council. "
A smidgen of credibility just went away...

Optimism Comes with Age

People tend to see the glass half full more frequently as they age, new research indicates.
Researchers showed test subjects virtual faces portraying sadness, anger, fear and happiness. They used eye-tracking technology to record which faces the subjects looked at and for how long.
Test subjects age 18-21 focused on the fear faces. Those 57 to 84 zeroed in on the happy faces and avoided the angry ones.
The participants were screened for cognitive ability—all were sharp.
What's it mean? Perhaps with their time on Earth getting shorter, people tend to focus on things that make them feel good now, the researchers figure. Whatever the reason, they seem motivated to avoid focusing on negative information.
"The study suggests that the way individuals in late life process information enables them to stay on an even emotional keel and feel good," said study leader Derek Isaacowitz of Brandeis University. "By focusing more on positive things and avoiding negative ones, older adults are able to maintain emotional resilience, which becomes acutely important in the face of dwindling time."
The study is detailed in the journal Psychology and Aging.
