–Hint: We tend to remember pictures of people much better than wide open spaces. Next time you go on vacation, you may want to think twice before shooting hundreds of photos of that scenic mountain or lake. A new study from MIT neuroscientists shows that the most memorable photos are those that contain people, followed

There are the topic or ideas that can be explored by Mashable.com. The sites could be dedicated to these topics or can be included in the same parent site. Linux Linux can be covered in any category related to computers. However, having a dedicated category for Linux throws a good scope. I agree that there

–New analysis helps predict which new systems will be on a fast track to improvements in performance. Some forms of technology — think, for example, of computer chips — are on a fast track to constant improvements, while others evolve much more slowly. Now, a new study by researchers at MIT and other institutions shows

–MIT study shows sometimes it saves energy, sometimes it doesn’t — and sometimes it makes things worse. It seems like a no-brainer: Remanufacturing products rather than making new ones from scratch — widely done with everything from retread tires to refilled inkjet cartridges to remanufactured engines — should save a lot of energy, right? Not

MIT physicists discover a new physical phenomenon that could eventually lead to the first increases in computers’ clock speed since 2002. In the 1980s and ’90s, competition in the computer industry was all about “clock speed” — how many megahertz, and ultimately gigahertz, a chip could boast. But clock speeds stalled out almost 10 years
