Future of Health Monitoring and Diagnosis
To be a bit of a provocateur, I start by saying that current medical science does not differ that much of medieval. This is based on my experiences while working within medical research.

Happy Old Filesharing Days Are Here Again!
There has been lots of fuss over P2P networks and file sharing in general. In some circles it seems to over escalate to the point where even using P2P networks or downloading torrents labels you as some kind of criminal.
