As Keith Shortall reports, the lead author of the report says the effects are having an impact in Maine and New Hampshire, and states should take steps to prepare these species for rapid changes in the ecosystem.

2013-01-31 20:13:55| Extremetech
Valve is gunning for the television with their Steam Box concept, and it isn't afraid of Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo.
