The Engadget Podcast is live tonight at 4PM ET!

In the words of Frank Miller's 300, "This is where we fight. This is where they die!" Not that those words are particularly relevant to this episode of the Engadget Podcast, but this is our 300th edition and we're feeling pretty Spartan. Maybe we'll amend it to, "this is where we podcast, this is where you chat." It's a work in progress, what can we say? Hopefully we'll have things a bit more nailed down when we go live at 4PM tonight. Only one way to find out!

Brian O'Driscoll seeks injunction to restore water in row at golf hotel complex

THE owners of a number of luxury Wexford holiday homes, including Irish rugby captain Brian O'Driscoll, are seeking a High Court injunction requiring a company to restore the water supply to the houses in a dispute over management fees.

Mr O'Driscoll is one of a number of owners of 60 houses which are part of the Seafield Demesne Hotel and Golf development in Ballymoney, Co Wexford.

Fifty-nine people who own 33 of the houses, including Mr O'Driscoll, are seeking an order requiring Seafield Demesne Management (SDM) Ltd to restore their water supply, which was allegedly cut off in March.

They also want an injunction restraining interference with sewage services, although SDM's counsel said yesterday this service has not and will not be cut.

Mr Justice Kevin Feeney, who will give his decision on the injunction application tomorrow, noted yesterday it was agreed between the parties that the owners involved had either paid a total of ?207,130 under protest to SDM or into their solicitor's account in relation to management fees due since the dispute began in 2007.

The court also heard that only those houses which were not occupied all year round had had their water cut.

Ronan Murphy SC, for the owners of the 33 houses, told the court the essence of the dispute was that there had been a failure by SDM to justify the amount of the service charge.

The figures did not charges on the basis of costs and expenses but "on some other unknown basis", counsel said.

Martin Hayden SC, for SDM, said his client was owed ?335,000 for 2008 to 2011 and some of the plaintiffs had not paid for four years while others had not paid for two years.

During this time, SDM had continued to provide services which did not just include water and sewage but other matters such as maintenance of landscaped areas and access to the beach.

When the owners bought these houses, they signed up for an annual management fee of ?2,750 and they could not now "pick and mix" what services they would like to pay for, counsel said.

He disputed claims the charge was excessive saying the equivalent fee for mobile home in the same area of Ballymoney, used for just eight months of the year, is ?2,300.

Learn that tune while fast asleep: Stimulation during sleep can enhance skill learning

ScienceDaily (June 24, 2012) ? Want to nail that tune that you've practiced and practiced? Maybe you should take a nap with the same melody playing during your sleep, new provocative Northwestern University research suggests.

The research grows out of exciting existing evidence that suggests that memories can be reactivated during sleep and storage of them can be strengthened in the process.

In the Northwestern study, research participants learned how to play two artificially generated musical tunes with well-timed key presses. Then while the participants took a 90-minute nap, the researchers presented one of the tunes that had been practiced, but not the other.

"Our results extend prior research by showing that external stimulation during sleep can influence a complex skill," said Ken A. Paller, professor of psychology in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences at Northwestern and senior author of the study.

By using EEG methods to record the brain's electrical activity, the researchers ensured that the soft musical "cues" were presented during slow-wave sleep, a stage of sleep previously linked to cementing memories. Participants made fewer errors when pressing the keys to produce the melody that had been presented while they slept, compared to the melody not presented.

"We also found that electrophysiological signals during sleep correlated with the extent to which memory improved," said lead author James Antony of the Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program at Northwestern. "These signals may thus be measuring the brain events that produce memory improvement during sleep."

The age-old myth that you can learn a foreign language while you sleep is sure to come to mind, said Paul J. Reber, associate professor of psychology at Northwestern and a co-author of the study.

"The critical difference is that our research shows that memory is strengthened for something you've already learned," Reber said. "Rather than learning something new in your sleep, we're talking about enhancing an existing memory by re-activating information recently acquired."

The researchers, he said, are now thinking about how their findings could apply to many other types of learning.

"If you were learning how to speak in a foreign language during the day, for example, and then tried to reactivate those memories during sleep, perhaps you might enhance your learning."

Paller said he hopes the study will help them learn more about the basic brain mechanisms that transpire during sleep to help preserve memory storage.

"These same mechanisms may not only allow an abundance of memories to be maintained throughout a lifetime, but they may also allow memory storage to be enriched through the generation of novel connections among memories," he said.

The study opens the door for future studies of sleep-based memory processing for many different types of motor skills, habits and behavioral dispositions, Paller said.

Wikipedia founder backs UK student wanted by US

(AP) ? The founder of Wikipedia urged British officials on Monday to block the extradition of a 24-year-old British student wanted in the United States over alleged copyright offenses.

Wikipedia's Jimmy Wales expressed support for Richard O'Dwyer, who was arrested at his university dorm in 2010 by British officers accompanied by agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. O'Dwyer's alleged crime was running a file-swapping website called TVShack.net, where users shared links to movies and television shows, many of them protected by copyright.

Wales said merely posting links is not a crime and urged citizens to stand up for their rights online.

"Richard O'Dwyer is the human face of the battle between the content industry and the interests of the general public," Wales said in an online petition posted on Change.org, adding that the student had always done his best to "play by the rules."

By midday Monday the petition to halt O'Dwyer's extradition had gained more than 20,400 signatures.

The Guardian newspaper has thrown its support behind O'Dwyer as well, saying in an editorial published Monday that his case was "unfair" and "absurd."
