	Paul Winchell: Inventor of the Artficial Heart
		Frank made a house call as a favor to me and said that the kid's tonsils were so inflamed that unless they were removed, he'd continue to have periodic infections and bronchial problems.
		He requested that I come to Salt Lake City for a meeting and indicated that the heart they were using in their animal studies was based upon the same principles as those found in my patent.
		Beating in its chest with a rhythm that was quite audible, was an artificial heart that went click-clack but this amazing creature was a clinically functioning bovine that was eating, mooing and defecating.

		Shallow seas, coral-atoll continents, flying islands -- this is the world of Reverie, the Artificial Kid its most notorious video star, a professional combat artist who tapes his acts of violence for sale to an avid public.
		But the Kid's affluent lifestyle is less predictable than he imagines -- especially when he has to flee from the Cabal with Moses Moses, newly emerged from seven hundred years of suspended animation.

	Kid-Friendly Whole Grain Cereals - DrGreene.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Kids in America simply do not eat enough whole grains for optimal health and development.
		But now, if kids are “cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs” or “Trix are for kids”, they will also be benefiting for whole grains.
		And there is still room for improvement in further reducing sugar, artificial colors, and chemical preservatives, but I am excited about each move in the right direction - and this is a huge step toward providing healthier foods for our kids.

		At one point in Mona Lisa Overdrive (1988), Angie's leading man tells her that an artificial intelligence named Continuity is writing a book.
		The artificial intelligence, aptly called Continuity, suggests Gibson himself whose tremendously complex plotline involving Wintermute, Neuromancer, and their offspring has constantly turned back into itself and mutated throughout the course of his short stories and novels.
		At the instant Gibson gives the reader a traditionally happy ending, he also reminds the reader of the artificiality of such simplistic and innocent structures.

	The Official Haley Joel Osment Web Site : Home
		Before Kevin Spacey left to chase him in a studio golf cart, he said of Haley, “He’s a forty-year-old midget.” I’m not sure which impresses me more-that Haley has an intelligence and professionalism far beyond his years, or that underneath it all he is a genuine, spontaneous, fun-loving kid.
		When his “mother” programmed him with a series of random words, he was nothing but emotion, and his love for his mother became the driving force of his existence.
		Yet whether he played artificial intelligence with or without emotion, I was always able to see that in his face.

	Artificial Synesthesia for Synthetic Vision via Sensory Substitution
		Artificial synesthesia (syn = together, and aisthesis = perception in Greek) is a deliberately evoked or induced sensory joining in which the real information of one sense is accompanied by a perception in another sense through the use of a cross-modal mapping device.
		The use of a device to map one sensory information stream into an information stream for another sensory modality clearly distinguishes artificial synesthesia from spontaneous synesthesia or developmental synesthesia as well as from cross-modal associations in non-synesthetes for normal sensory inputs.
		The subject can also be related to sound symbolism and artificial or induced phonesthesia (phonaesthesia), a cross-modal mapping where certain sounds become associated with certain meanings.

	The Beautiful and the Sublime by Bruce Sterling
		Bruce Sterling burst upon the sf scene in the mid-1970s with a first novel, Involution Ocean (1977), billed as "A Harlan Ellison Discovery," a work heavily influenced by the 1960s New Wave writers, particularly J.
		No one expected much in the way of hard SF from him thereafter, even though his second novel, The Artificial Kid (1980), showed serious interest in technological speculation.
		It escaped general notice in the early 1980s that Sterling was publishing a series of stories rich in scientific speculation and technological detail set in a future solar system swarming with humanity and aliens.

	intro
		In The Artificial Kid, by Bruce Sterling, the title character surrounds himself with cameras, controlling his presentation of himself through them and the use of careful editing.
		The Artificial Kid also demonstrates a conjunction between the cultural and the economic, a world in which aesthetics are wedded to production, and art is the primary economic commodity.
		The close bond between cultural and economic signifiers in the novel mirrors the current intersection of capital and culture in today's global economy.

	Posts from the Artificial Sugars Category at Slashfood
		Citizens for Health, a national consumer group, is concerned that the artificial sweetener Splenda is causing side effects and making consumers ill. Though it isn't stated which specific side effects people are experiencing, the group is lobbying for additional research to be conducted on sucralose, the sweetening component of Splenda.
		They found that artificial sweeteners led to a higher rate of alcohol absorption by the body, meaning that drinkers felt the effects of the alcohol more quickly and more strongly than those who used sugar-sweetened mixers.
		New studies show that preference for artificial sweeteners is based on a lack of extraneous flavors in the sweetener, not not the sweetness level of the substance.

	"A.I.: Artificial Intelligence" / review and/or viewer comments - Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		He is not only a motherless child, but a rejected adopted child--even worse… his lack of normalcy makes him seem like a special child… someone who might be slightly autistic, deaf, or mentally retarded.
		This is a kid that will tear a woman’s heart apart.
		It seems to me that Spielberg has woven a tale that pits man’s creation (mechas) against God’s creation (orgas) in order to show that man can do better and that God, as understood in the Judeo-Christian worldview, is not the only life-giver.

	NII, Competing Visions: Sterling/Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		He is also the editor of "Mirrorshades: A cyberpunk anthology", viewed as the quintessential collection of cyperpunk works by the mirrorshades group of science-fiction authors.
		Some of his other works include "Islands in the Net", "Schismatrix", "Involution Ocean", "The Artificial Kid", "The Difference Engine" which he co-authored with [Gibson] and "The Hacker Crackdown" a non-fiction account of the computer underground.
		Sterling hypothesizes that the "visionary intensity" that distinguishes cyperpunk writing is understandable given that cyperpunk authors are the first science fiction generation to grow up not only within the literary tradition of science fiction but in a truly "science-fictional" world.
