At long last, Apple's new, incredibly small Mac Pro is going on sale. From December 19 you'll be able to pick up an entry-level Mac Pro for $3000 (quad-core). The mid-range six-core model will set you back $4000. Pricing for the eight- and 12-core systems is not yet available, but a fully maxed out system -- with two FirePro graphics cards and 1TB of solid-state storage -- is expected to cost around $10,000.

Guardian: The risk of uranium leakage from filtration systems used by facilities such as the Ranger mine in Kakadu could be greater than is currently acknowledged, with new research showing that the hazardous substance is far more mobile than previously thought. A study published in Nature Communications found that seemingly immobile uranium particles "piggybacked' onto iron and organic material and flowed into a stream that joined a wetland in France. The Australian Conservation Foundation said the...

Sydney Morning Herald: Environment Minister Greg Hunt's media spinners deserve a Christmas bonus. Last weekend, Murdoch's tabloids led a nationwide chorus deploring data showing Australia's greenhouse gas emissions for the first year of the carbon price had declined by a mere 0.1 per cent. "Carbon tax truly was load of hot air", "The great carbon con," "Carbon tax a stinker", were among the headlines trumpeted by News Corp newspapers. The single number leaked to the papers looked compelling: emissions of the gases...
Newly Detected Greenhouse Gas Is 7,000 Times More Potent Than CO2
2013-12-13 01:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: A greenhouse gas that is thought to have a potent impact on global warming was detected in trace amounts in the atmosphere for the first time, according to a new study. Researchers at the University of Toronto discovered very small amounts of an industrial chemical, known as perfluorotributylamine (PFTBA), in the atmosphere. While only traces of PFTBA were measured, the chemical has a much higher potential to affect climate change on a molecule-by-molecule basis than carbon dioxide (CO2), the...
