Science Channel - Brink - Beginning this week, Science
Channel's Monday night science information series BRINK is joining
forces with Popular Mechanics to bring the popular "Abusive
Lab Test" series from the magazine's pages to the television
screen. In the first "Abusive Lab Test" segment, Zepps,
Derene and Porges have some information-packed fun testing ruggedized
cell phones, a new generation of phones designed to withstand
water, sand, heat and general impact damage. The group simulates
everyday disasters by stepping on and dropping three different
brands of phone on the ground or in water and then gauging how
well each works. The guys also give viewers a surprisingly helpful
hint for reviving your cell phone if it's ever unexpectedly
dropped in water. Other segments on this episode of BRINK include:
a visit to the M.I.T. Media Lab where Dr. David Merrill is developing
a cutting-edge, cookie-sized computer called siftables that
may forever change how humans and computers interact; and an
exciting recap of the 2009 Maker Faire held in San Mateo County,
Calif. this past May. Starts Monday, July 6, 2009 at 10:30 PM

a reef. Stunning time-lapse and aerial photography take you
on a journey across time to witness the rising of new lands.

waters lack the basic nutrients needed to fuel life. Many
animals living here must go to extraordinary lengths to eat
and mates. The stories of these animals and their incredible
lives are irrevocably intertwined with the story of the ocean
itself. Discover the true hardships of animal survival in
