Synergy updates

Synergy is a system that allows you to control multiple computers (with multiple screens) with a single mouse and keyboard. It also supports clipboard sharing.

To install it, though, for Linux or Mac, all you had was command line. QSynergy gives you a GUI  to set it up on Linux, Mac and Windows.

Synergy itself hasn’t been updated in a few years (since 2006, though it still works under windows 7), and since then a fork has come up called Synergy+ which has dived into the bugs and is an active project.

Animals That Live Without Oxygen discovered

Scientists have found the first multicellular animals that apparently live entirely without oxygen. The creatures reside deep in one of the harshest environments on earth: the Mediterranean Ocean's L'Atalante basin, which contains salt brine so dense that it doesn't mix with the oxygen-containing waters above. Previous samples taken from the water and sediments in the basin showed that single-celled life was present, but a new study published this week in BMC Biology has identified multi-cellular animals that apparently live and reproduce in the sediments under the salt brine. Italian and Danish researchers describe three new species of tiny animals called Loricifera.
