Diet Soda-Bad for the Heart?: Diet soda may not be great for your diet after all. A 10-year study published online in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, found that the daily drinking of diet soda was linked with a higher risk for stroke, heart attack and death. Even after controlling other risks, including diabetes, the researchers found that drinking diet soda daily could still be linked to heart problems and death. (7:11 p.m.) via New York Times
 

Exercise Your Fish: We've heard that nurse sharks are the Labradors of the sea, but now we have a cat of the aquarium. Check out this video of a puffer fish chasing a laser across its aquarium floor. Guess it won't have to worry about gaining weight! (6:55 p.m.) via Digital Journal

New Eggs for Women?: Dr. Jonathan Tilly is at it again, proposing that women have the biological capability to replenish their eggs, much the way men do sperm. He presented his earlier findings on the subject in 2004 without success, as other scientists could not verify his work. Now Tilly, director of the Vincent Center for Reproductive Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital, says he and his team have identified stem cells in adult human ovaries, possibly enabling the growth of new eggs. At DNews, we have our doubts and will wait for further tests before putting any of our eggs in his basket. (6:00 p.m.) via i09

Rough Seas: As we approach the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War, the Argentine government is ratcheting-up tensions in the South Atlantic region after denying the docking of two cruise ships at Tierra Del Fuego, on the country's southern tip. The reason? The ships had paid a visit to the Falkland Islands, an archipelago that remains under the protectorate of the United Kingdom (around 3,000 Brits live on the islands), yet the Argentines claim as their own. Tension has been rising in recent months as the UK dispatched its most advanced warship to the islands and Argentina has prevented any Falkland-bound supply ships from docking in its ports.

Anchor Kills Internet: The Internet is not as infallible as we have come to believe. A ship dropping anchor off the coast of Kenya pierced an underwater cable in the harbor cutting off speedy internet access for Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and a piece of South Sudan. Just how did that cable get down there? Check out the old newsreel below. (5:02 p.m.) via The Atlantic

$100 Tablet: Swiss designer Yves Behar, one of the influential folks behind the $100 Laptop venture, is proposing a $100 tablet. Like the laptop, the tablet will be rugged, solar-powered, and designed for children in the world's poorest countries. The organization showed off their tablet, the X0-3, at this year's Consumer Electronics Show. Behar has also designed customizable eye glasses that could be given free to students in Mexico.
