Thai HIV Vaccine Trial – Who Did They Test It On?

25 years on and there is finally a glimmer of hope in the battle against HIV.

A Thai HIV vaccine trial on 2,000 subjects has come back with a 30 % protection rate.  That is an amazing breakthrough and work will no doubt be stepped up off of the back of this success.   Couple that with the most critical aspect in my humble view – education! – and we may be able to win the war one day.

..but.. what puzzles me about the days events, is who exactly volunteers for a HIV trial…and how exactly do you go about trying to contract the virus….

No 3-D support for all PS3 games

Hold on before you run out to buy a new TV! You may have seen the report on Engadget stating that, according to a Sony rep, all PS3 games will run in 3-D with a software update next year.

“…a software update for the PS3 sometime in 2010 will enable it to provide a 3D viewing experience to “all” existing games on the system. We’re sure there will be some exceptions, but it sounds very promising. The console itself pumps out a quite regular signal over HDMI, which the TV syncs up with your 3D glasses. A 200Hz TV, for instance, alternates 1080p frames, with 100Hz for each eye. Of course, you’ll need a brand new TV, but at least it won’t be restricted to just Sony televisions. Start saving those pennies!”
