Quite possibly the most important key on your keyboard! Though not just for computers, the Panic Button is a vital – if somewhat pointless – addition to everyone's desk. It doesn't do anything of course, but you feel a lot better having a button to stab at when everything goes to pot.

PARIS – A Frenchman lost in a labyrinth of disused mushroom caves said he had survived 35 days by eating rotten wood and clay, after being rescued only thanks to a teachers' strike.
Jean-Luc Josuat-Verges, 48, told French newspapers he had gone to the deserted caves at Madiran in the Pyrenees in December seeking isolation during a spell of depression which had left him considering suicide.
While wandering through the cave network the father-of-two's flashlight stopped working, and he was unable to find his way out.
His abandoned car was found 35 days later by three children who were not at school because their teachers were on strike. The children alerted police who rescued Josuat-Verges from the caves. French media said he had lost 40 lb. and was weak.
The partiton table of the hard drive in my host's server became corrupted, and the only backup they had was the same one I had, from three months ago.

Scientists at the University of Florida made a living 'brain' by extracting 25,000 neurons from a rat's brain and culturing them inside a glass dish. Then, the neurons began to extend lines to each other, creating a living neural network between them. The dish had a grid of 60 electrodes connected to a computer running a flight simulator. The scientists were able to train the 'brain' to control the plane in the simulator and to react to conditions of the plane. Are we getting closer to create an artificially made conscious being, or perhaps, a living computer?
BERLIN (Reuters) – German police detained a naked 25-year-old woman and her 23-year-old partner who were engaged in sexual intercourse on the pavement in the middle of a busy shopping district, police said Saturday.
Police in the western town of Duelmen said the couple were spotted by pedestrians late Friday morning having intercourse. Pedestrians in the town of 40,000 called police, but the couple initially ignored police orders to stop.
“The naked couple continued their passion-filled activity on the cold asphalt,” a police spokesman said. “They finally followed police instructions to stop on the third warning.”
The spokesman said the two face a 100-euro ($125) fine each for disturbing the peace.
