In July, a 23-year-old electronic artist named Je Deviens DJ en 3 Jours ("I Become a DJ in Three Days"), pictured left, released Da Chip, a collection of Daft Punk covers made entirely with the sound processors found in classic videogame systems. It became an instant underground hit, charting up to 25,000 downloads a day and elevating the chiptune—a Game Boy-inspired genre that's been kicking around for two decades—from fanboy in-joke to serious headphone fare. Waxy blogger Andy Baio has taken the genre to the next level with Kind of Bloop, a technically accomplished chiptune tribute to Miles Davis. Other 8-bit acts like Dr. Zilog have refashioned songs from Animal Collective and MGMT into chilling mini-symphonies of blips and bleeps. And the recent release of 8Bitone, a chiptune synthesizer app for iPhones, means that now everyone can play along.

The finding holds promise for improving neuroblastoma treatment by using the drug bevacizumab to block VEGF, a protein that stimulates blood vessel growth in tumors and then following with the chemotherapy drug topotecan, which depends on blood vessels to penetrate the tumor and kill the cancer cells.

Gene Mingling Increases Sudden Death Risk

The findings will help in assessing the risk of sudden death -- and assigning therapy -- in patients with this syndrome. Humor Develops From Aggression Caused By Male Hormones, Professor Says
Humor appears to develop from aggression caused by male hormones, according to new research. A professor conducted a year long study observing how people reacted to him as he rode a unicycle through the streets of Newcastle upon Tyne in England.
