How the brain and an iPhone differ
How many simple objects can you think about at once? Even though people feel they have rich visual experiences, researchers have found that the average person is only aware of about four items at a time. This ability, say researchers at the University of Oregon, varies from person to person, and they've found that an individual's capacity of short-term memory is a strong predictor of IQ and scholastic achievement.

The cost of long tongues
Orchid bees use their extraordinarily long tongues to drink nectar from the deep, tropical flowers only they can access. Exclusive access comes at a cost. It's just plain hard to suck thick, viscous nectars up through a long straw. Orchid bees are sacrificing speed at flowers for exclusive access to them.
