not to just crap all over this list, but a lot of the psych/neuroscience was cool, but not exactly a "new" discovery as it was portrayed. Many of the interesting finding were really just building on some other, well established, "weirdness", especially ones like the "memory/emotion" split.

the full articles were in the mag when the 'discovery' was first made. these are more like synopses. i'm sire the full articles are all in the online archives somewhere.

i've read all the articles online.... and i don't have a subscription. maybe to get into the archives you need to subscribe. meh. just meant as a recap and topic of discussion anyway.
I've never seen discover, people, cosmo, etc. at a library before. I've seen oooold issues of time, however, but nothing recent.
I'm not criticizing you, dude. I just thought it was lamerz that I couldn't read the whole articles for their list. I'm one of those ones that would rather sit through a 30 second commercial so I can read an article than I would to have to pay $30 just to read one article. (Similar to a la carte, but it's more like "fee for service" with the supplier getting their fee from advertizers on each time the service that is used.)

no worries. i wasn't offended. just saying that i'd read the articles at some point during the year. lots of mags (including nat geo and the atlantic among others) give full articles online without subscriptions. not sure why, but..... i'm glad they do. any like i sid, just meant for discussion.
hopefully next year will have even more and more important discoveries.
