		<description><![CDATA[This view looks all too familiar.. Google decided to to use a &#8220;low carbon&#8221; approach to clear the brush near their Mountain View headquarters, making use of some 200 mbuzis in place of the usual droners.

Of course, you need to have the right photography hardware and other skills to boot, but having the patience to set up that perfect shot often results in some of the most native and unpretentious works of art. I&#8217;m no professional in this regard by [...]

Male chimps that are willing to share the proceeds of their hunting expeditions mate twice as often as their more selfish counterparts.

I don&#8217;t know for sure if there&#8217;s an actual name for it yet (I guess PUMA is it&#8217;s name), but they do have a prototype out: Steve Woz will dig this. [...]
