Having started her life in a test tube in 1996, she was the first animal cloned by scientists using a somatic cell (as distinct, say from a germline cell, or “gamete,” like sperm and eggs). Dolly was beautiful. She was Scottish. It was also unusually short, at just six years. Researchers claim it's the first example of seamless, repeat cloning using the Dolly method—known as “somatic cell nuclear transfer” (SCNT)—in which the nucleus from an adult source animal is transferred to an egg with its nucleus removed. Scientists, including Dolly’s creator, have long felt the process was still too unstable—and too wasteful of precious eggs, given the failure rate—to be used on humans any time soon. Cloning experiments since then have produced varying results. Miley Cyrus pops out of dress at pre-Grammy party. Report: Hathaway 'freaked out' over Seyfried's dress.
It raised many a fashion watcher's perfectly plucked eyebrow: Why did Anne Hathaway pull the red carpet out from under her presumed Oscar designer, Valentino, and wear Prada instead?
Especially considering that Valentino is a favorite of Hathaway's? (The house, which designed Hathaway's wedding dress, even sent out a release describing her choice: embroidered tulle. But the actress told USA TODAY's Andrea Mandell during arrivals, "I didn't know what I was wearing until two hours ago. ") Fashionista.com has heard a rumor worthy of a scene in The Devil Wears Prada itself: Apparently, when Hathaway caught a glimpse of Les Mis co-star Amanda Seyfried's icy Alexander McQueen, she "freaked out" over its similarity to her Valentino gown.

Browsing Web on iPad stinks, and Apple likes it that way.
When iPads were first introduced in 2010, an Apple press release promised that the "iPad's revolutionary Multi-Touch interface makes surfing the web an entirely new experience, dramatically more interactive and intimate than on a computer.
" The implication was that the web via the tablet would be unrecognizable and vastly superior: hoverboarding compared with surfing on my laptop and doggie paddling on my phone. Yet, here it is three years on, and we're still waiting for that "interactive and intimate" browsing experience (and hoverboards, for that matter).
A recent study conducted by Onswipe revealed that iPads account for a whopping 98.1 percent of tablet traffic on websites. Despite this, the actual experience of surfing the web on an iPad is underwhelming at best and infuriating at worst. Simply put, today's state-of-the-art tablet browsers, especially Safari, don't do the Internet, the user, or the iPad justice. Safari is deliberately hobbled Of course, this is sort of the point. 13 Simple Steps To Get You Through A Rough Day.
