The Daily Dozen

  1. The impact of sex-selective abortions in India? "No toilet, no bride."
  2. Reducing the cost of failure makes us all better off.
  3. Home prices in US drop most on record in quarter.
  4. Are schools preparing kids who want a job rather than college life?
  5. Wolfram Alpha computational search engine to launch Friday evening.
  6. Are Apple's high laptop prices sustainable?
  7. Engagement rings and the law.
  8. Recession? Check. So where's the crime?
  9. Top PhD programs are shrinking? The greatest shrinkage is in the humanities. Looks like this cartoon got it right.
  10. For lawyers, the gender gap disappears if you just keep working. I suspect this is true for other professions as well.
  11. The ocean's parking lot.
  12. Cancer patients combat the patenting of a gene. Is the patent system holding up advances in medical research?
