@Scott: Oh no. Oh that sucks.

What is a "permitter antenna"? Google doesn't return any hits, which is a bad sign.

The actors are ripped, the effects are good, but these guys just look like Ghyslain Raza to me.

@jerritp: I'm no pro but I know that the iphone has bigger problems that white balance. I can spot an iphone 4 photo miles away by the characteristic red center and green edges. That has to be a lens problem right?

That Samsung BD-P1600 Blue Ray player has more 1 star reviews than 5 star on Amazon. Looks like a bad idea.

@jerritp: I am about to buy my first DSLR. I'm not familiar with the white balance issue, could you explain to a noob what it is or link to a good article? Also, what in that image tips you off to the problem? Thanks.

@loliologist: I worked in a startup making a therapy with an epitope attached so I'm familiar with this line of argument. I was under the impression that virus shells were fairly homogeneous, surprised to hear they aren't. I'll take your word on it.

This could be a scary invasion of privacy.

@vinod1978: Agreed. It also seems to be a good way to crack down on free speech.

@The Lab: Also, let me preempt the inevitable comment about how no one appreciates a good invention in it's own time. Sure every once in a while there is a good, under appreciated idea but this isn't it. I know this field well, hell I even had a cover article in this same journal, and the arguments why this could be

Let me try and translate this into something useful. I am a chemist but I don't have journal access and the abstract sucks so it might be off but here it goes:

@LegacyCrono: This looks funny, please elaborate.

@ghost25: I am a chemist. I've seen people make these things for years. Not going to be important beyond being cool.

@NeoAkira: Nope. Molecules over 500 MW usually aren't bioavailable (ie they do not get into the bloodstream for a variety of reasons). This never would, so it would be injected. Injected drugs typically do not do well commercially and would compete with already proven biotech drug strategies. Very unlikely to be a

@emannths: It kills me to read the comments and notice a good explanation like this and then later someone asks the question this comment answers. Read the comments before asking questions people!

@two wheels are enough: Steric hinderance typically prevents a bond from forming. If two reacting functional groups can get close enough to react, they bond they form is usually strong enough to overcome steric strain.

@OMG! Chuck Norris!: You get an "E" for effort, which is better than an F but still not passing. Next time try humor.

@ProudGeek: I know, right? That's one reason I'm applying this year.
