It's CTIA week, which means we've got another mobile-heavy (well, actually more Android-heavy) show. Among the week's news, Sprint and HTC announced the first WiMAX phone: the Evo, while Samsung launched the Galaxy S, and Dell showed off the Aero (aka Mini 3i). Palm's stock took a huge tumble after a depressing earnings call, but we're looking forward to Google TV and the Nintendo 3DS, which we'll hopefully learn more about soon. Finally, Peter got a little hands-on time with the PlayStation Move, and we'll dig into motion-based gaming once more.Joel Levine: Why we need to go back to Mars – Joel Levine (2009)

Tax forms, credit agreements, healthcare legislation: They're crammed with gobbledygook, says Alan Siegel, and incomprehensibly long. He calls for a simple, sensible redesign -- and plain English -- to make legal paperwork intelligible to the rest of us.Shorts: The Bus Stop

Shorts: The Bus Stop
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010This post is a reprint of a post by Jad Abumrad & Robert Krulwich that originally appeared at WNYC's Radiolab.
There’s a common problem with Alzheimer’s and Dementia patients all over the world. They get disoriented. They wander off. Lost in their memories, they amble the world. But sometimes, in their wandering, they can end up too far from home, frightened, or hurt. So what are you supposed to do if your loved one–a parent, a grandparent–begins to wander in this way? Often times the only solution is to lock them up. Which just feels cruel. But what else are you supposed to do if you want to keep them safe?
Well, a nursing home in Düsseldorf, Germany, called the Benrath Senior Center, came up with a new idea. An idea so simple you almost think it couldn’t work. This week on the podcast producer Lulu Miller talks to Richard Neureither and Regine Hauch about what they’ve done in Düsseldorf.
