Atmospheres of Saturn and Jupiter could make a rain of diamonds

It could also have oceans of diamonds on the surface of Jupiter.

On Saturn and Jupiter, diamonds may fall from the sky and oceans form them. Astrophysical group calculated that the powerful thunderstorms that occur in both planets

At greater depths, scientists believe they can become liquid diamonds could form a stable ocean layer. While the oceans are more likely in Jupiter, Saturn could have large chunks of floating diamonds.

"It seems that the interior of Jupiter is hot enough to reach the region of liquid diamond in the carbon phase diagram, while Saturn's interior includes temperature and pressure regions where coal could exist as solid diamond," explains the researcher Mona Delitsky.

Along the scientist Kevin Baines, also pose it is unlikely that other gas giant planets (like Uranus and Neptune) formed oceans of diamonds, despite previous studies suggesting this possibility. However, may contain solid diamond crystals in the core.

The diamonds - which are a form of carbon created under high pressure - not so rare on planets. Outside our solar system, scientists have found a planet full of this material, while 40 light years from our Earth is one that is one third of diamonds.
cause the formation of carbon particles that fall through the gases. As they fall, are crushed by the enormous pressure of the atmosphere, causing them to become diamonds.

Facebook eliminates the option of not search and find you by your name


The social network wants to make your profile searchable at Graph Search.

The "Who can find a biography by your name?" disappear from the Facebook privacy settings, so that anyone can find you. Those who have restricted this alternative
will be notified shortly.

Facebook began to delete this option in December for all those people who had not previously activate it, and now is deleting the rest. The social network hopes that people use privacy filter each message to control who can or can not see what you post.

What is it about?

The "Who can find a biography by your name?" is actually quite confusing. It seems to have strangers not find your profile. That's not necessarily so, because Facebook allows people to come to the profiles not only by name but also by clicking photos of you, in the list of friends of a friend, or watching tastes in common. If a person comes by these other roads will not be blocked from your profile.

Keeping the option "Who can find a biography for your name?" thus gave a false sense of safety, where people thought their profile could not be seen by strangers, when in fact they could be found.

However, Facebook is not providing better security options. What matters is to push Facebook Graph Search, its new search system that allows you to search for any feature that you have given to the social network. For example, searching for "people who live in Mexico City" or "people who like the movie Titanic" will appear in the results all the people who have lived there or because you liked that movie, or even worse combinations.

There is no way to hide the Graph Search, unless you manually hide the visibility of each part of your profile, one by one. This may take time: You will have to review all the data you put in the "info" and set to be visible to "friends only" or "just me".

Facebook could offer a quick option to block all your profile information, but does not. You could also offer an option to not show up in search results, but then your business does not work. He wants you to find. Graph Search wants to have it all.

Recall that the profile picture and the big picture to go to the beginning of your page are always public, and that the only way anyone can see is not blocking that person. We just can not block those who we do not know.

Almost official: Grand Theft Auto 5 for PC will arrive in early 2014


The official confirmation of the release of Grand Theft Auto 5  V for PC is a story for which the community has been crying pc gamer, so far Rockstar has not said anything about it and all that have emerged are rumors, some weak, some strong and fundamentals, which suggest that this game in this platform is closer than we think. Yesterday we shared Intel's statements, about the imminent arrival of the Grand Theft Auto V for computers, new reports emerged today that not only note the trend, but also suggest an arrival date to early 2014.

According to an interesting report published by friends of Eurogamer , say they have had contact with multiple industry sources who have indicated the arrival of this game for PC in the first quarter of 2014 . The note , backed only by themselves, remain anonymous who confirmed the adaptation and suggested the release date . The real concern about the departure of Grand Theft Auto 5 for PC is that this would open immediately the possibility that the title will also be ported to the Xbox One or the PlayStation 4 . However, the elusive Rockstar continues to distinguish this matter , since the study contacted Eurogamer to give an official response ( and vague ) on the subject.

    The only versions of the game that we have officially announced are the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, which were scheduled for release on September 17 worldwide. At the moment we have nothing more to share about the possibility of a release for PC and consoles next generation. We are totally focused on delivering the best gaming experience possible for the platforms on which we are currently running .

Since the month of August has been filtering the hint of a computer version of Grand Theft Auto V , when Nvidia enlisted the title alongside Call of Duty: Ghosts and Assassin 's Creed IV : Black Flag as one of the great franchises that land on this platform , plus some other notes that we have shared here . Only missing the last word from Rockstar , however , the first quarter of 2014 fits perfectly with the 8 months difference there was between the console version and PC Grand Theft Auto 5 .

TomTato: Plant that produces tomatoes and potatoes


Crossing two plants to form a single through grafting is not new. The difference is that TomTato perhaps is the first variant generally available on the market. What is TomTato? In essence, a plant capable of producing potatoes (or potatoes, as you prefer) and tomatoes at the same time. TomTato plants can grow directly in pots, and are completely natural.

On more than one occasion I heard that the Potato (ie potatoes), being a single tuber, is easy to grow. However, if we look at the Web how to grow potatoes, you will find dozens of methods and recommendations, therefore, is not as simple as it looks. Still, the British company Thompson & Morgan decided to make the challenge more interesting, combining potatoes and tomatoes in a single plant. The brand name for the plant is TomTato, and what we can tell, is the first of this kind to be marketed to the public, although its distribution is limited to the UK. There is a similar project called Potato Tom in New Zealand but do not ship outside the country.

Makers reveal that each plant is grafted by hand, and no genetic modification class, therefore, the process is completely natural (from a technical standpoint, we can not call it hybrid). In the best case, the performance of a TomTato exceed 500 cherry tomatoes, accompanied by a respectable amount of potatoes. The plant only lasts a season, so that every enthusiast should be replaced once they pick up the potatoes and tomatoes. The price of each TomTato is 18 euros, and you can even use a pot, so you do not need any patch of ground at home. The company describes tomatoes as "sweet, but sour" with about 10.2 degrees Brix, while the popes have broad versatility, and are suitable for them boiled, footprints (mashed), baked or fried. Any gardener interested in replicating a TomTato at home ...?
