Fixing US STEM education is possible, but will take money
The state of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education in the United States has seen some unflattering appraisals in recent years, and deservedly so. In early February, the House of Representatives heard testimony on undergraduate and graduate education. The message from the panel, which included experts from academia, STEM-based industries, and the National Science Foundation (NSF), was clear: the problems in STEM education are well-known, and it‘s time to take action.

M-rated video: the ESRB and video game trailers
We recently ran a video for the just-released Borderlands content "The Secret Armory of General Knoxx." To watch the video, you had to put your birthdate into the window to prove you were old enough to view the M-rated content. We're sure most of you are familiar with age-gated video content, but we received a few e-mails asking about why some content is age-gated, and that got us thinking... how is video content regulated in the video game industry?

Weird Science wonders whether or not it was sex
Hoosiers don't always agree on what constitutes sex: Indiana University's Kinsey Institute tracks (among other things) the public's attitude towards sex, and recently published the results of a survey that asked a fairly simple question: would you say you "had sex" if you engaged in activity X? As the title—"Misclassification bias: diversity in conceptualisations about having 'had sex'"—implies, there's anything but universal agreement. The numbers generally go down as you move from plain old intercourse through anal and oral sex, but there are some surprising results in subpopulations. "A surprising number of older men did not consider penile-vaginal intercourse to be sex," as the press material indicates. I'd personally consider any number greater than zero to be surprising, but apparently at least 25 Indiana residents fell into that category.

Week in Apple: Steam on the Mac, Apple flings poo at HTC
Apple's lawsuit against HTC may have been the talk of the Internet for most of the week, but Valve's teasers for Steam coming to the Mac took the prize for most exciting news. MacHeist also released a new software bundle and the rumor mill gossipped about HDMI on the next Mac mini. Need to catch up? Valve creates fake Apple ads, teases Steam on OS X : Valve has begun sending images to gaming sites showing its properties tarted up in Mac colors and images.

DOIs and their discontents
Those of you who are regular readers of Ars' science content are probably aware of our use of Digital Object Identifiers , or DOIs, which act as online reference information, taking readers directly to the papers being discussed. Readers almost never comment about that feature, except when it fails, in which case we invariably hear about it—and it fails at least once a month. We've tried explaining both our reasons for using them and the reasons they break in the forums, and have recently linked to Ed Yong's excellent discussion of the system and its problems. Within a week, we were dealing with complaints due to a broken DOI. So, this is an attempt to provide a comprehensive description of the DOI system, why we use it, and why it doesn't always work smoothly.

Week in tech: purple-is-the-new-brown edition
Canonical has revealed the style of the new default theme that will be used in Ubuntu 10.04. In a significant departure from tradition, Ubuntu is shedding its signature brown color scheme and is adopting a new look with a palette that includes orange and an aubergine shade of purple. At the AAAS meeting, there's evidence that physicists are thinking seriously about the arrow of time , but biologists may be well ahead of them when it comes to understanding it.

The challenge, opportunity of PS3: God of War III interview
God of War III is coming, and it's huge—even in comparison to the previous games in the series, which were pretty epic in size and scope themselves. So how do you top them? Ars sat down with John Palamarchuk, the lead cinematic artist on the game, to find out.

Hands-on: a close look at Ubuntu’s new non-brown theme
Canonical is updating Ubuntu's look and feel with a new style that departs from the popular Linux distribution's traditional brown theming. The new theme, which was announced yesterday as part of an initiative to overhaul Ubuntu's branding and visual identity, will be used in the upcoming Ubuntu 10.04 release, codenamed Lucid Lynx. The design documents that Canonical published Wednesday left a lot of questions unanswered. Fortunately, the new themes were rolled out to Ubuntu 10.04 alpha testers today in the latest set of package updates.
