Jim Carrey's daughter on "American Idol" as any other applicant

2012-01-23T22:15:00.000-08:00

"American Idol" had a special broadcast Sunday night auditions. This round was held in San Diego, California. That was Jane Erin Carrey stop, the daughter of Jim Carrey. When 24 year old girl appeared before the panel of judges, they knew who she was. Jennifer Lopez reminded her of the days it was a 'Fly Girl' on "Living Colour", where his father got his start in comedy. She admitted to not remembering Lopez because "I think it was about two years old" when he visited the forum of the very popular comedy in the early 90's.

When I saw his photo, I thought it was Miley Cyrus. She has a beautiful voice, but nothing special, but the judges said "We want more than they can offer" and send it to Hollywood. She said that having a famous father is as good as bad because the obligation to do more to demonstrate that she has talent.
Do you think Jane took advantage of his father?

Impact on closing Megaupload

2012-01-23T06:12:00.000-08:00

Open silos, missiles in the air. After both the FBI and the Department of Justice of the United States closed the Megaupload site in a joint operation, the consequences are being seen across the Web. The most important response has been found between the group of Anonymous, who has deployed the largest attack in its history. According to published data, more than five thousand users have been involved in the attack on specific sites, breaking down the gates of the Department of Justice, the RIAA, MPAA and many others.

After the massive protests that took place on Web January 18 in protest to the advancement of SOPA laws and PIPA, came the news of an intervention by the FBI and the Department of Justice United States against the storage service of Megaupload website. As Max told here, its founder Kim Dotcom and six of his employees were arrested in the process. The short time interval between SOPA and the protest against the disappearance of PIPA and Megaupload almost impossible to think of an accident. This has seen as a retaliation by the U.S. authorities, but as I said on another occasion, the Web knows how to strike back.

Slowly, some of the sites attacked have recovered its normal operating state, but others are fallen, or were temporarily disabled by your administrators

This time, the Anonymous group launched the largest attack since their existence is recorded. According to the channels of the group (primarily via Twitter), more than five thousand users are armed with the famous "Low Orbit Ion Cannon", carrying out attacks against high-profile sites. The sites of the Department of Justice, the Universal Music Group and the RIAA have been among the first to fall. Then other targets have been added as the site of the "Broadcast Music Inc.", the MPAA, the portal for Warner Music, Viacom, the website of the French Hadopi, Intellectual Property Office of the United States, and for some minutes also FBI dropped the page. There was talk that the White House site could also be a potential target, but no data have been his downfall yet. Until we can ascertain, the sites of BMI, the FBI and the MPAA, the Intellectual Property Office and the Department of Justice and were in line, while the RIAA, Warner and UMG are still down.

Anonymous has said that "there is more on the way", but guess that will be fulfilled on both sides. The FBI quickly published information about the operation against Megaupload, including specific details of the detained goods. However, one thing remains unchanged: Beyond the arrests and interventions, all this must be prove, and should reach the court that are required to define at what point Megaupload is part of a conspiracy to violate copyright commercial purposes, as the rest of its functions (offering online space, place advertisements and sell special service subscriptions) are perfectly legal. At the same time, this reminds us of the conflict between Viacom and YouTube, a case that lasted more than three years and finally concluded in favor of the video site, although the government says that Megaupload does not qualify as a service that can be protected the concept of "safe harbor" of the DMCA, because in theory, who operated on Megaupload were aware of illegal content on the service and did nothing to remove. Of course, the FBI didn't went to Mountain View to arrest anyone...

Hackerspace Global Grid: A network of satellites to bypass censorship on the Internet

2012-01-02T11:36:00.000-08:00

Hackerspace Global Grid: A network of satellites to bypass censorship on the Internet - Global Grid hackerspacesThe current onslaught of security, the available content, privacy and the freedom to surf the web, who are being awarded the task of defending these values to develop strategies with very high expectations and ambitions. Very high. So much so that at the Chaos Communication Congress, a group of security experts announced plans to send a network of satellites into space, building the Global Grid hackerspaces to combat censorship and there exists more strongly on Earth.

With the law SOUP fluttering in the vast corridors of the U.S. Senate and lobby for its passage suggestively caressing the pocket of many of the protagonists of the debate, the community of security experts continues to discuss and predict what the state of the network in the case that this law is applied and leave others in the future may be even worse. Freedom and privacy are values that can not be defiled, and the Chaos Communication Congress was interesting announcements at the censorship action. One of the most outstanding was the one who starred in called hackerspaces Global Grid, which expressed the intention to strengthen fundraising, research and community work to send a satellite into space and start a global satellite network that is an alternative to the Internet controlled by the powerful and their censors.

    Collection stations would function as signal-geographical area - Global Grid hackerspaces capture stations as officials said geographic area-

    Carrying several months of development ahead, the project hackerspaces Global Grid, will try, as in the past others have done so enthusiastic amateur, put several satellites in space through a service that the ground control without the need for constant presence of "owner" of the satellite. With this overhead, the idea is to create a communication network that is outside the territorial control of the intervening agencies, and users would connect to it through low-cost small stations that could be sold non-profit (100 ideal as a stop euros) or could even be built by the user. By partnering with the GPS satellite network, these stations will identify the satellite generating the appropriate feedback to surf the net without concerns about privacy and freedom of action. Mr. Bauer, a man in charge of the project, announced that the plan is to present 3 prototypes for half of 2012, and hopefully show the community in the next Chaos Communication Congress.
    Bauer is a highly respected expert and leader in the community that will support this project. - Global Grid hackerspaces Bauer is a highly respected expert and leader in the community that will support this project.

    While the project is feasible because it is not the first time a group of this kind send satellites into space (although these dimensions and integration with other projects, such as Constellation), technical difficulties as the amount of time may be operating these satellites, geolocation and efficiency, the possibility of repair and delays in the transfer of information because it would not count on such advanced technology. In addition to needing money to do so, the community of security experts and will require working together, because for 23 years in planning to launch the first computer to the moon, but that's another story.

How to know if you have Alzheimer's

2011-12-20T09:28:00.000-08:00

A group of Finnish researchers have discovered a new system to detect Alzheimer's disease at an early stage by a simple blood test, which could allow the disease diagnosed several years before symptoms appear.
As reported in today's Technology Research Centre of Finland (VTT), scientists at the agency and the University of Eastern Finland have found that Alzheimer's is preceded by a "molecular signature" consisting of three metabolites (molecules produced during metabolism).
The study, published in the journal "Translational Psychiatry" suggests that the detection of these biomarkers in the blood can distinguish between people with mild memory problems and those that are in early stages of dementia.

Thus, a simple blood test would help identify patients at high risk of developing Alzheimer's, so that preventive measures could be taken to slow or even prevent the onset of the disease.
To develop the clinical work, the team of Finnish scientists analyzed more than two years for blood samples from 226 elderly, of whom 46 were healthy, 37 had Alzheimer's and 143 suffered mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a stage prior to the dementia.
Once the follow-up period, 52 of the 143 patients with MCI had developed Alzheimer's.
Analysis of blood plasma of these old revealed that he had changed the chemical composition of their blood, a sign of changes in the brain.
"To establish the pathogenic relevance of this type of predictive biomarkers may not only facilitate early diagnosis, but can also help identify new therapeutic avenues," say the authors, led by Professor Matej Oresic.

According Oresic, research on these chemicals and their relation to the development of Alzheimer's could help create new drugs to fight the disease.

Historical hero or a liar?

2011-12-19T09:22:00.000-08:00

This is what is supposed Dakoya happened to Meyer in September 2009 when he was marine in Afghanistan was his patrol car with two sections of Afghan troops heading to a town called Ganjgal when they were attacked. Four of the co-Meyer became caught fire several bursts with so many soldiers. Meyer could hear on the radio. He had been ordered to stand still, but ignored. Like a madman, rushed to the heavy gunfire and went to where his companions. In the end, that day would end up saving 37 people (about two dozen Afghans among them) on several trips. He broke five trucks that were so intense bursts of bullets. The last trip I made up and went to recover the bodies of their dead comrades.An incredible story. Both Meyer became the first soldier from the Vietnam War, receiving the highest honor you can give the U.S. a member of the army: the Medal of Honor.But there is another version.In that convoy was another person, a journalist named Jonathan Landay, who has submitted a report claiming that everything is quite exaggerated. Meyer could not save because at the U.S. 13 traveling alone were 12 and four others were killed Meyer. Of the survivors, no one saw a Meyer kill those eight Taliban killed are supposed to, but remember that some were saved by a helicopter that came later. The rest said they got in the truck all by themselves while Meyer sought refuge. Nor is it clear that Meyer was ordered to sit still.The Marines have rejected this report. Say it is easier than in a battlefield to see things differently, and has followed a rigorous research process to deliver the Medal of Honor, including witnesses, graphics, and two major investigations. What is not known is the version of Meyer himself. The army continues to refer to the version that is posted on their website to not make the sergeant now have to repeat what he considers "the worst day of his life."The curious thing is that this change of image, from hero to liar, is not the first big problem with Meyer since he received the Medal of Honor. It has also been sued by the company that hired him when he returned home, the arms manufacturer BAE Systems. It turns out that this company spent as much effort to put their weapons on both U.S. soldiers and Afghans. And Meyer that sounded wrong. So he explained to his boss by e-mail: "While my job is to create better weapons for my countrymen, I am doing. But arming those killing our people ...". BAE sued him for libel, and dismissed him. Since then, no private company related to the military-even those who directed his friends-he wanted to hire. All cite the demand. Meyer, the only veteran of Afghanistan, which Obama has personally decorated, the Maxim magazine that wanted to be his military technician, who starred in an article in the prestigious entire 60 minutes, is now working as a mason.

Mitsubishi presents its interface EMIRAI vehicular

2011-12-19T07:14:00.000-08:00

In the '50s, humanity imagined that in 2000 the cars were to be true rockets that defy gravity and allow us to cover large distances in a few minutes. You have a few days into 2011, and although we have these "rocket cars" that our forefathers dreamed of, at least we can say that their control interfaces are pretty close to becoming reality. The concept is called EMIRAI, and was presented by the people of Mitsubishi in the 2011 edition of the Tokyo Motor Show, which ended last Sunday.

On Sunday December 11 ended the 42nd edition of the famous Tokyo Motor Show, with the presence of more than 840 000 people in its eight-day for the general public. We had seen some of the new Nissan Pivo through 3, but this time, our attention is accusing people of Mitsubishi. No doubt we could have hoped for a complete vehicle from them, but what they offered in the exhibition was a concept that has the potential to become the default vehicle interface a lot of electric cars ... between now and ten years if all goes well. His name is EMIRAI, and if for some reason you thought that high-definition projection and tactile interfaces have no place in a car, better take a closer look.

The highlight of the system is undoubtedly EMIRAI your dashboard. Instead of using multiple LCD displays to present information, chose Mitsubishi rear projection, a detail that allows them to create a panel with different levels of curvature, adapting the original design of the car. At the same time, these have support projection surfaces touch, through which a user can enter text quickly with one hand. Another very important point of the interface is on the steering wheel buttons eighteen integrated and associated with different functions. Eighteen buttons may seem much on a wheel, but Mitsubishi has made the buttons change their profile according to the functions available at the time.

As if that were not enough, EMIRAI can also serve as personal information system for the driver, reporting useful data on the health of it, including heart rate. The information is not limited only to those leads, but the other passengers can also access such data through the screens mounted in the back seat. According to Mitsubishi, they can make suggestions on different types of technologies, but the key is to demonstrate to manufacturers how these technologies can be used and applied in different vehicles. While EMIRAI interface is approximately a decade away, imagine what is to come between EMIRAI and interfaces today.

Gordon: Supercomputer with SSD

2011-12-18T20:47:00.000-08:00

The processing capacity of supercomputers have shown some really leaves us surprised, but even these high performance systems must yield to the hard drives and the sacrifice in speed represent, in exchange for a high storage density and a relatively low cost . But in the Supercomputer Center San Diego, have developed a different idea and that idea is named after Gordon. Gordon is the world's first supercomputer that uses massive amounts of solid state drives, thanks to which users can access their reading and writing speeds close to 200 gigabytes per second.

It is without doubt a vicious circle. Solid state disks have shown benefits in terms of speed and power consumption, but the main barrier to their widespread adoption is still the price. And the price drops, we need cheaper manufacturing methods ... but also an increase in demand. With the prospect of hard drives affected by floods in Thailand, the feeling that "this" is the time for the SSD can be detected almost everywhere. In lieu of a general change of platform, the installation of a SSD is becoming a logical choice to upgrade our systems. And if that happens on desktop computers and laptops, why can not pass between servers and supercomputers?

People Supercomputer Center San Diego recently announced that it has put online to Gordon, a supercomputer that is already ranked 48 of the known list of "Top 500". This is a monster of 16,384 cores, 64 terabytes of RAM, four petabytes of storage space, and what brings us here today, 300 terabytes of solid state storage, thanks to the installation of a total of 1.024 units of Intel 710 high performance and 300 GB each. This space will allow users to access databases up to ten times faster than they would if they were stored on hard drives.

Gordon (named by Flash Gordon) has faster read / write of 200 gigabytes per second. As expected, the cost of Gordon has been quite high, about $ 20 million to be precise, but more than a thousand SSDs inside, and a theoretical maximum of 280 Teraflops, it seems money well assigned. Michael Norman, director of the Center in San Diego, stated forcefully that "double the amount of information generated every year," and the current systems are already "overwhelmed." Personally, I hope the presence of the SSD from supercomputers to increase. Not only increase the performance of these systems, but also stimulate demand in the market. And we want SSD cheap, there's no doubt.

Men in Black 3 (Trailer)

2011-12-18T20:03:00.000-08:00

If there is an Hollywood actor who is considered a true "guarantee the box office," that is Will Smith, so no surprise to find that almost ten years after its last installment, the series Men in Black is ready to return to the big screen. Agent J and Agent K must once again protect the Earth to their particular way, but this time there is a small twist "temporary" to be solved. It is Men in Black 3, and this is the trailer.

Although you can find one or two setbacks in his career, and often criticism has not been favorable, in general everything that depends on a Will Smith ends his adventure starring role in film far above the original budget. Technically it works since 2008, but we must not forget that it was the producer of the remake of Karate Kid, film that starred his son Jaden. His immediate projects place him as a producer of "This Means War", a tale of two CIA agents fighting for the same woman, but his return with all the letters to the card will be through one of the roles that originally catapulted to success. Ladies and Gentlemen, Agent J will return to the adventures with Agent K in Men In Black 3.

On the plot ... what we know. J Agent K Agent discovers that is not anywhere, and colleagues at the Agency reported as dead ... forty years ago. Apparently this is the work of bad guy named Yaz, since the death of Agent K can achieve the destruction of planet Earth. In an attempt to put things in order, Agent J must travel back in time, more precisely to 1969, to save both the younger version of K and Earth. As the trailer shows the mean time travel jump Chrysler Building, which if my memory goes up to 320 meters high.

The fact of creating a sequel nearly ten years after the last film may seem strange to some, but the truth is that Hollywood is little or no interest these "spaces" (no better example than Tron: Legacy), and probably are a way to tap into if necessary, be it comic books, sequels, or other special material. J Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and K, Rip Torn as Zed, Emma Thompson as Agent O, and the New Zealand comic Jemaine Clement as Yaz represent the main elements that will shape MIB 3, with the return of Barry Sonnenfeld to direction (he was the director of the two previous MIB) and Steven Spielberg production. The release date is agreed upon May 25, 2012.

MorpHex: Robot hexapod spherical

2011-12-18T16:50:00.000-08:00

Those minds that are dedicated to robotics, whether it is a hobby or a complete job can shape both foreign designs as attractive to the eye, and that is exactly what generates the MorpHex when one observes for the first time. Hexapods are less common (and usually more complex) than the rest of his brothers robotic, but also make us think of a crab when he walks, the detail applied to the spherical form is outstanding. It all started in November 2010, when a Norwegian engineer named Kåre Halvorsen announced the start of a project called MorpHex. One of the first objectives was that the MorpHex should move like a hexapod, and should become a hexapod to a sphere, and vice versa. Eventually, this would enable the MorpHex bearing capacity for acquiring, accessing two different methods to get around. Since then, Halvorsen on their official website has specific details about the making of this robot. Although no specific plans, the amount of "visual information" on the robot is remarkable. In late June this year, appeared the first video on YouTube showing the MorpHex without its spherical shape. One would think that would require special parts to give the MorpHex a spherical shape, but Halvorsen chose a much simpler solution: It took a globe, and separated the sections according to their need. For a moment I thought I had used some form of "Death Star" to scale, but the globe was a perfect replacement.

To Halvorsen was a year with much less time than I imagined, so that the development of MorpHex had some white space, but recently released a new video pieces hexapod integrating its spherical shape. The precision of movement is not only formidable, but for a moment that will cross your mind an image of a crab.
As Halvorsen announces it in the two videos, the MorpHex is not complete, since its function has yet to get rolling, but if there is no technical shock, should be only a matter of time. Now, I can not think of a scaled version of the MorpHex, designed to explore complex terrain, or why not, on board a rocket on a scouting mission to Mars within a few years. According to what we have seen so far, the MorpHex is a one man operation (beyond some acknowledgments at the end of each video), which makes this even more fascinating spherical hexapod. Definitely expect more news on this robot.

You don't need motivational speakers, you need yourself

2011-12-15T08:16:00.001-08:00

It is a shame people need others to keep themselfs motivated whithout knowing that the best motivational speaker is within themselves, yes motivational speakers can keep you motivated but just for the moment unless is with you 24/7 (that only if we use common sense)

Companies keep taking me to facebook

2011-12-02T11:02:00.001-08:00

The other day I wanted to purchase my favorite mp3 player and so I saw a banner on youtube about it and so I wanted to purchase this product and they said if I said "I like" the product on facebook I would get a rebate, but I can careless about a rebate since those rebates are on their websites anyways and or I can find them at the local store, what the f... is wrong with this companies? they think that we are stupid or something? I mean yes if I can only get the rebate through facebook then I understand but if I go to the store and see that the rebate can still work if you buy their products from their local stores then why do I need some annyoing adverstising on my facebook account? yeah ok and so I did purchase their product from the local store, I have some similar sites promoting their product through facebook which I understand but guys WE WANT TO PURCHSE YOUR PRODUCT TODAY not being your amigo on facebook, I have enough companies trying to get through my facebook account just to sale me things :)

galaxy x 11 keeps trying to taking me to their facebook account when I just wanted to see the phone only, what is the deal here?? ok I get it they wanted me on their facebook account so they can shower me me in the future with maybe some junk from other companies? not today pal :)

From porn star to own a football team

2011-11-17T16:48:00.001-08:00

Klaris Leone joined the interest of his colleague, Sybil Danning, to invest in football
Triple-X actress Soccer Traders. Klaris Leone, famous porn star of Czech football is a passionate and as such seeks to establish his own club, which is called Inter Prague, in honor of his love for Inter Milan.

"I love my career in pornography, but I've always dreamed of having my own football club, it would give me even more fame.

"I'm sure my fans will be interested in my team. Today there are many women in the world of football," said the model.

In this way, Leone joins his fellow Austrian, Sybil Danning, who in early November wished to invest in Sheffield Wednesday of the Third Division in England.

"I've been thinking about buying an English team with a strong passion and great potential. Sheffield Wednesday meet those ideals," said the native of Upper Austria, in remarks echoed by the Daily Mail

Fighting depression with exercise

2011-11-14T04:58:00.001-08:00

Today the problems related to mental health have worsened dramatically, several studies made in this regard. According to statistics, mental illness have a high incidence in adults. Many of these problems are directly related to stress, anxiety and depression.
Psychotherapy is supplemented with medication most commonly used traditional methods to address these problems. However, these treatments can have long periods of time and the medication used generally has undesirable side effects.
A non-traditional techniques is physical exercise and sport. Exercising can become an effective second-line treatment for patients with depression who have been cured with drugs, say scientists at the Department of Psychiatry, University Medical Center of Texas in collaboration with the Cooper Institute of Dallas in an investigation four years, which is published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.
Similarly, other researchers have come to the conclusion that exercise is an important factor for the onset of symptoms of depression. In addition, exercise and sports can be an excellent alternative to aid in treatment with traditional therapies.
For many of these experts, moderate exercise provides a benefit equal to the emotional level of vigorous exercise, with the latter produces an opposite effect on many people by increasing the tension, fatigue and problems of character.
Scientists say there is a relationship between increased physical activity and decreased level of depression. It has been shown that "mental functioning is a physiological and you can not disconnect from the physical and social functioning ..." (WHO, 1993).
Therefore, the benefits to exercise include:
• Reduction of anxiety
• Reduction of depression and neurosis
• Reduce stress levels
• Helps in the treatment of severe depression
• psychological benefits everyone
As we can see, physical activity produces a remarkable mental and psychological improvement, leading to improved self-esteem and benefiting physical problems such as hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis and various psychiatric disorders.

Anonymous posted and publish the IP addresses of nearly 200 alleged pedophiles

2011-11-04T10:35:00.000-07:00

Hacktivist group Anonymous, which last week made publicly visible results of a new vein of its activities to disrupt a huge child pornography server, now claimed to have recorded the IP addresses of forum users 190 cases of pornographic images featuring children. And he said he will announce the list.

To do this, and as part of Operation Darknet, the group collaborated with members of the Mozilla Foundation to create a false update a plugin for the private network Tor. Thus, during 24 hours collected information about the users involved. The variation in the Tor plugin, led the user to a server controlled by Anonymous keep a register of IP addresses and entering your destination.

In a statement, Anonymous said it will release IP addresses of these alleged pedophiles, which correspond mostly to the United States, but which also find several located in Latin America and Europe.

A new step in the crusade against pedophiles group, which will hopefully move on thwarting more servers, sites and users related to child pornography.

LM92 thermometer in Android (App Inventor)

2011-10-19T15:57:00.000-07:00

In this article, we will see how to control temperatures remotely via a Bluetooth link and how to receive events from remote activation of two buttons on our phone with Android. The versatility give us the integrated sensors such as LM92, combined with the practicality of any environment with a mobile device Android, lead us to devise items that previously relied on to carry a laptop wherever necessary to control and / or register events or conditions of work of a machine, an environment or any environment "that must be controlled." Today, thanks to Android, App Inventor to an elementary hardware and built around a 18F25K20 can control all this and more from the comfort of your mobile device.

In previous articles we could see everything necessary to achieve a link between your mobile device, equipped with Android, and a simple circuit based on a PIC, the powerful 18F25K20 that, thanks to the use of free software Amicus allowed us to receive instructions and data sent from your mobile device. The application, however simple it was, allowed us to achieve a "Hello World" LED lighting a distance. Of course that kicked off the excitement created us to try the backward, ie, transmitting to the device with Android, data generated in our test circuit. Addition of two buttons, we have included in this work a temperature sensor to receive additional data that distance adds more complexity to work, but it serves to imagine that we can exercise total control over a remote computer. That is, we show the potential of comfort that we can achieve, let alone laptops that were once the kings of the field work. Today, Android comes to occupy that place and that everything is easier, faster and convenient than before. Applications can now be developed in unusual areas.What you see in picture is the application that we have been developing for some items behind, with the benefit of receiving information in the mobile device from our circuit with microcontroller. Remember that you can use any microcontroller and any programming language, for convenience we use the PIC 18F25K20, but these examples can be transferred to any microcontroller. In this particular development, we read with two keys and the data string that sends the integrated thermometer LM92 to be presented on the screen of your mobile device. So far, our work is built on the App Inventor events press a button and it will continue with actions that were presented on the screen of mobile and data sent via Bluetooth to our remote development. These events occurred at a time in which "we decided to perform the action" and the pic looked HSERIN instruction to receive the data, interpret and execute the work according to the structure of the data sent. Now, it is our Android phone that should be listening and attentive, permanently, waiting for instructions or data that the PIC can send at any time HSEROUT command. It is very important to understand this: field application can send data at any time and Android should be alert always.

Warca: Shoot a camera, not a gun (video)

2011-09-23T09:07:00.000-07:00

WARC is an FPS game set in the war in the Middle East and North Africa. So far nothing unusual. The interesting thing is that they interpret a single soldier in combat, but a journalist only be equipped with a camera. A FPS where you do not shoot any firearm? Better yet, just keep reading.

Today it is common to find games based on war FPS like Call of Duty or Battlefield, where the command of a soldier to fulfill different objectives throughout the game pitted against other soldiers and terrorists. What is not normal is that in a game of this style controls to a reporter instead of firing a gun, put shooting. And this is what gives us WARC, which tells the story of Jesse DeMarco, a journalist who must take photos in the conflict that will travel throughout the game.The idea of the game is that players achieve real-world experience of war journalism through the process of filming the conflict to enter into different risk situations equipped with a camera. As we move forward, the scenarios will from action packed to quieter moments where we talk with our colleagues on developments.The game has the support of the Australian journalist and filmmaker Tony Maniaty Robert Connolly, who directed the film Balibo, a political thriller about the deaths of Australian journalists during a conflict in East Timor in 1975.Graphically the game can see that developing still lacking polish some specifics, such as the effects of fire and light. Being developed for four months and Defiant Development Brisbane, WARC is currently in the process of letting us find a distributor in doubt about your departure date and for which platform will be available. What do you think of the idea?

Bonsai solar to recharge mobile devices

2011-09-22T08:28:00.000-07:00

A few days ago the famous French designer Vivien Muller Electree announced it has developed an interesting device designed to recharge the batteries of mobile electronic devices. As expected, it is a device in which the design has been extremely careful and look beyond the strictly functional. Instead of building a nondescript rectangular solar charger, like the hundreds that can be found in stores, Vivien was "inspired" in the form of trees.

"The inspiration for design came to me while watching Electree trees. The leaves of the trees are real natural solar panels," explains Muller. "Therefore, the shape of the tree is the best way to harness solar energy." That was the reason that the charger looks like a small bonsai composed of 27 small solar panels that double-leaf. Mounted on supports (the "branches" of the tree), each panel can rotate freely, which allows the user to create an unlimited number of ways. "I wanted Electree is a product to be used inside, so that the aspect of bonsai that I thought was best," says the French designer.

The first 400 units sold will be numbered.

The Electree is about 40 inches high and provides a few hundred mAh if all its panels are directly illuminated by the Sun, which is quite difficult to get inside a home or office. The energy is stored in a battery that has at its base and sent to devices charged via a USB connector. Some of your gadgets require an adapter to be connected to this source of energy. Anyway, you still can not go to the store and take one home, they have not begun to be produced. The designer has enabled the option to make a "pre-purchase" online (paying 299 euros, by the way) and when production begins thousand orders. The first 400 units sold will be numbered and accompanied by a certificate signed by Vivien Muller, with shipping charges on account of the manufacturer.

While this is a pretty useful product and does not seem to be strictly "original". Not long ago we saw a young student as more than shocked to discover that a scientist if you have solar panels in the same way that the leaves of trees can significantly increase the production of electricity. Muller solar charger seems to be simply a nice implementation of this principle, but with the disadvantage of being thought of as an ornament for indoors, a site that usually sunlight often reach only a few hours . Despite these drawbacks, you may find 1000 interested in paying $299 for a home Electree. Are you aiming with one?

Today, is World Alzheimer's Day 2011

2011-09-21T09:04:00.000-07:00

Today, September 21 is World Alzheimer's Day new window, the most common neurological disease of dementia. According to the data handled by the Spanish Society of Neurology new window (SEN), in Spain there are over 600,000 patients and others estimated that approximately 200,000 cases would be undiagnosed.

In addition, the progressive aging of the population will increase in coming decades in a very considerable number of people over 65 years. It is estimated that about 30-40 even years to double the current figure, which would be more than a million and half people affected by the disease in Spain.

BUT WHAT IS ALZHEIMER?

We have spoken on countless occasions of what is and what causes this disease, but such an important day, not get tired of tell thee. Alzheimer's is a degenerative process probably produced by the deposition of amyloid beta protein and generates a gradual loss of neurons and their connections. Except in the rare cases where the disease is caused by a genetic mutation, Alzheimer's disease has no known cause. For distribution to the brain causes cognitive symptoms, behavioral symptoms and ultimately loss of functional capacity and limit the autonomy and independence.

As you know, the risk factors of this disease are many: population, advanced age, gender (female), illiteracy and medical history, especially those known as cardiovascular risk factors (diabetes, smoking, hypertension, high cholesterol and other depression, menopause, etc.).

Some of the most common symptoms of this disease: progressive memory loss, inattention, difficulty performing familiar tasks, problems with language, disorientation in time and space, difficulty in recognizing objects and people, and so on.

TREATMENT AND RESEARCH

Alzheimer's disease is treatable, but has not yet found a cure. There are four drugs that have shown efficacy in improving cognitive-behavioral symptoms and functional. These are drugs that can 'stabilize' one to two years the evolution of symptoms and may even delay the need for admission to residence. Dr. Pablo Martínez-Lage Alvarez, coordinator of the behavior and dementia of the Spanish Society of Neurology new window, gives us his opinion on how important it is time to catch the disease:

    "Early diagnosis becomes a fundamental tool for improving quality of life of patients. The problem is that often the initial stage may be overlooked. As the disease has a varied form of appearance does not follow a unique pattern and has a gradual development, it is sometimes difficult for the patient or his family to distinguish the early symptoms of Alzheimer changes of old age. "

    "It's important to know that age by itself does not cause dementia. The age may decrease the speed at the time to learn or remember when, but does not explain the loss of memory, does not justify the everyday memory failure, repeated and persistent. When someone asked if a loved one, whether he or she is starting with an Alzheimer's that it's time to go to the doctor and that is the time when the physician must be prepared to give a professional response based on clinical evaluation and a proportionate and appropriate diagnostic studies as well as full respect for rights and autonomy of the person consulting. "

The doctor continues:

    "Although in recent years there have been significant advances in our understanding of disease, as well as early diagnosis is necessary to continue to promote efforts to promote health education of the population about what the early symptoms and promote effective coordination between health primary and specialist to ensure the best response to the demand for diagnostic of the person who complains about memory leaks. The diagnostic and therapeutic clinical research remains crucial to one of the diseases that increase in incidence in the coming years. "

    "In particular, in Spain, clinical research has been showing for years a significant delay compared to other developed countries. Is necessary to enhance the clinical units of dementia, brain banks, clinicopathologic studies, projects anatomical and functional neuroimaging and clinical centers that support research. "

The comet Elenin will not destroy Earth

2011-09-21T08:40:00.000-07:00

It approaches Earth at nearly 90,000 km. per hour and its closest approach to Earth will occur on 16 October. According to some, however, several weeks before that day the comet Elenin (officially designated C/2010 X1) planted in our world a wave of death and destruction as has not been known until now. Massive eruptions, major earthquakes, tsunamis, catastrophic solar flares, magnetic reversal of the poles and a whole string of disasters with an intensity never before seen by man. It will be between 26 and 27 this September.The reason for so much destruction, according to those who feed the idea is that, precisely during those days, the comet will be aligned with the Earth and the Sun Which, to understand, means that you could draw a straight line to play at a time the three celestial bodies. And it's the last two times I saw that lineup coincided with earthquakes of Chile (February 27, 2010) and Japan (March 11, 2011).Some "scientists" (including a certain Mensur Omerbashib) curl curl and strive to complete the list of astronomical alignments disastrous. And they have found all of them, when they occur, consistent with earthquakes of magnitude greater than 6.Omerbashib argues that, despite its small size (compared to a planet), the destructive potential of comets (and other celestial objects) when they are aligned with other worlds is due to "a phenomenon of resonance magnification" he himself has described and which has come to present to experts at Cornell University.

Without much success, indeed.To complete the picture, others have wanted to see this comet Niburu, the obscure and unknown "Planet X" Solar System, a mysterious world that just happens around us each many thousands of years, inexorably causing major disasters and mass extinctions. Or say that even this could be a companion star called the Sun (a small brown dwarf) star does not shine (and that has not been discovered) but its enormous mass, several times that of Jupiter, become a real harbinger of destruction.It all started a few months ago, when an Internet user, playing with an educational program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA, which allows you to draw a diagram of the orbits of the planets known objects, noticed that precisely in the days when Elenin position aligned with the Earth and the Sun there were two earthquakes in Chile and Japan.During the first alignment (the February 27, 2010) the Elenin was about 630 million km. of the Earth. During the second (March 11 this year), was reduced to half that distance (about 300 million km), which would explain that the earthquake in Japan was much more destructive than that of Chile.What will be able to do during the next Elenin alignment, the 26 to 27 this month, when only be about 50 million miles away? With these premises, and as has happened on other occasions, the story spread like wildfire through the Internet and social networking. And a cloud of "experts" have been added to the virtual forums with new data and "scientific calculations" that demonstrate the inevitability of the catastrophe.

As the weeks pass and the d "day" approaches, the stories multiply and blend into each other: NASA knows what will happen and hides, several astronomers who wanted to reveal the truth have died in a within a few days victims of a rare disease, the comet is only the vanguard of an alien invasion that is hidden in its wake ... There is something for all tastes.In this situation, NASA in mid-August issued a statement calling for calm and explaining that none of this will happen. The comet is only 3.5 km. diameter is too small to alter the orbit of a planet or to remove the Earth's tectonic plates and cause earthquakes. In addition, during its closest approach to the Elenin will be more than 35 million km. away, 92 times what separates us from the moon and almost the same as that between the Earth and Venus.Not to mention that Elenin reached on September 10th point of closest approach to the Sun (perihelion) and scientists have found in recent days, a rapid decline in brightness, which suggests that, consumed by solar radiation, is a disintegrating comet. As it is, almost certainly, his last trip around the Sun. The images in these lines show how he saw the comet on 29 August and how, after its perihelion, no trace of him could be seen on 14 September.

Praise your children for their effort, not intelligence

2011-09-20T22:16:00.001-07:00

Carol Dweck, a psychologist at Stanford, has devoted years to prove that one of the key elements of successful education is the ability to learn from mistakes. However, we often teach the opposite. If a child makes mistakes, is not very smart. The set does not make mistakes, and also precisely why we praise him for being ready. Few people are praising others for their effort, not innate ability.

Dweck conducted an experiment with more than 400 children from twelve schools in New York, were subjected to a very easy test consisting of a non-verbal puzzle. Once completed, the experimenter said the note to the child, followed by a phrase of praise. Half of the children were praised for their intelligence, the other half, for their efforts.Then they were allowed to choose between two different tests. The first option is described as a series of difficult puzzles, but told the children that if they tried, they would learn a lot. The other option was a simple test, similar to what they had done. When designing the experiment, Dweck had imagined that the different forms of praise would have a rather moderate. At the end of the day, it was just a phrase.
However, it soon became clear that the kind of compliment that became the fifth graders dramatically influenced subsequent choice tests. The group of children congratulated for their effort, 99% chose the set of difficult puzzles. For their part, most of the kids praised for their intelligence, they decided on the easier test.When we praise the intelligence of a child, we are actually getting the message: be smart, do not risk making mistakes.Dweck The following experiments also suggest that this fear of failure also inhibits learning. With the same group of group of children were subjected to another test, this time very difficult to see how they responded to the challenge.

Those who had been praised for their effort in the first trial, worked assiduously to solve the problem, engaging with great enthusiasm. However, children praised for their intelligence is quickly discouraged because they considered the inevitable mistakes as signs of failure, perhaps, deep down, they thought, were not ready. The final series of tests showed the same level of difficulty than the first. In any case, students praised for effort showed significant improvement: their average score increased by 30%. As these children were willing to accept challenges (although at first it meant missing), ended up paying a much higher level. This result was even more admirable when comparing with students who had been randomized to the group "ready" scores dropped an average of almost 20%. For children "ready", the experience of failure had been so daunting that actually experienced a setback.

How to Repair an MP3 Player

2011-09-09T20:04:00.001-07:00

How to fix the MP3 player, the idea here is to take a soldering tin, open the MP3 player as a watermelon and start changing components. We refer to compensation at the software level, or when the default firmware starts to do his thing and there seems nothing to do back of darkness. One option is to try to force an official firmware, but there is an alternative, as long as your device is compatible: Rockbox. It takes a while among us, but its development has come a long way, and its compatibility list has become longer.

Can we consider a dedicated mp3 player as obsolete? After all, playing music is just a function in the great majority of phones available in the market, but those who advocate "decentralization" of devices must use and abuse of them. Like with any expression of modern technology, an MP3 player may stop working. Usually the reason involves an accident such as "physically strong" or typical "amphibious exploration," but also the firmware, and from time to time, decide to have a rebel attack that takes a walk indefinite. Now, if the player is a relatively known brand, there should be an official method of recovery. However an alternative would be to replace the firmware directly. Rockbox has passed through the halls of the blogs few years ago and has come a long way since then. The list of supported devices has expanded, and fortunately, its main functions are still intact. It is generally faster than the standard firmware may lead to lower power consumption in some models, with comprehensive support of audio formats (including FLAC always desired), enables images and text, and also provides playback video units that allow it. The players support list includes classics like the first iPod (in unstable), the Archos players and renowned people Sansa SanDisk and others. Be sure to visit the official website to see if there is at least an unstable version that works with your player.

The installation utility is easy to use, and can run on Windows, Mac and Linux. Although the review indicates a date of May 2011, the latest version was compiled in late June. Even if your mp3 is not a problem, not a bad idea to replace its firmware with Rockbox. Its built-in functions beyond what the manufacturer provides by default, so it would be possible to inject a little life to an old player. Now, if what you have in your hands is one of many "s1mp3" generic from the East, then Rockbox is for you. Pay a visit to this site, find the model of motherboard in your player, and cross your fingers hoping you have a compatible firmware.

NASA: Travel the solar system in 3D from the browser

2011-09-07T09:48:00.000-07:00

Whether for education or to satisfy curiosity, applications that bring us the universe through the screen has always been our favorites. Now NASA has once again demonstrated their teaching skills and technology in an application to the browser that lets you tour the solar system in 3D.

From NASA comes to your browser Eyes on the Solar System, where you can have guided tours or just for our neighborhood space using updated data in real time. NASA launched the Solar System suey on a 3D platform with the possibility of stereoscopic 3D (with glasses to see) that runs from the browser by downloading a plugin. From here you can browse for free or Guild Solar System, with data taken from the very basis of NASAy updated in real time by the U.S. agency and its various subdivisions. The application is not in technology we've seen in other interactive 3D applications, but is developed with technology from video games to an alternative sense of control, using both the mouse and keyboard to navigate menus and interactive. At the start you have to download the Unity plugin which is available for Windows and Mac at the moment, and once installed the plugin, you can start a journey through the Solar System Eyes on by going to your website. Inside, and not at all English, you will find invitations to visit current mission, to go directly through the solar system or start with an introduction, which is the video of the article, and add some tutorials that despite being in another language are easily understood by visual demonstration. The application is very fluid, but still has options to lower quality graphics if your computer shows any fatigue. Among other things we saw you can do is review of media files on a mission, visual checks of lights, modification time and date to present and future, increase speed, view satellite tour and modify various aspects of the configuration. Eyes on The Solar System is ideal for exploring the solar system in 3D and learn even more our home, without a doubt recommend it.

LG 3D Optimus 2012 will take an especially thin

2011-09-05T22:02:00.000-07:00

LG is working on an update to its star phone, LG 3D Optimus, a showcase technology from the Korean company, which highlight the 3D display (no glasses) and dual-core processor, signed by Texas Instruments.

Updating the phone's main objective is to get a super-thin design, we talk about 7 millimeters thick, while preserving the virtues of the phone. It is quite possible that in 2012 we start seeing Smartphones on the market close to 6 mm.

The information has been given exclusively by one of the creators of the first phone, Dr. Henry Noh, people from Pocket-Lint. Also reported that the phone does not appear this year on the market.

It is very interesting to hear from a designer of smartphones as a first firm LG: Henry is honest about his phone, knowing that the phone is not more attractive or the thinnest on the market, so you have to work on this sense.

He also believes that mobile is increasingly more like (size, thickness, design ...), so the market is becoming boring. We appreciate your sincerity, but the truth is in their power to try to circle the issue.

CPUsage: Earn money and contribute to research on your computer

2011-08-29T06:45:00.000-07:00

CPUsage is a company specializing in grid computing with an infrastructure of providing on-line computer processing for large computer systems. The company allows you to fully use your computer's idle CPU to earn about $ 10 a month with an application that downloads. But what matters is that the application and service CPUsage also have charitable purposes and can be a viable way to generate money for schools or state have lots of unused computer while supporting an industry that has great potential for future. The worlds biggest "hard drive" and largest of IBM is developing supercomputers or presented in a report on the fastest on earth give us a clue of what the computation of high complexity required to operate and conduct research in all fields we can imagine. To investigate these things, it requires processing power to which all companies can not economically or physically access a supercomputer, and that's where the scene appear in companies that offer grid computing. This type of infrastructure can combine collectively in a remote environment or physical depending on the occasion, thousands of computers to provide processing power to a given activity. Some of these are services such as CPUsage, taking advantage of the potential ability to compute your CPU idle state, and thousands of others around the world, supplies the computing needs of an institution or company and will reward you for collaborate with them.

CPUsage system is similar to what we have seen repeatedly in other mechanisms of "donation processing," in which the ability to produce energy that do not use your processor is used to generate processing power that is fed to other projects or users, as well as for symbolic or monetary benefit. With similarities platform to SETI @ homepero in SEO CPUsage words "for commercial purposes, the collection system benefits of this service is similar to the system flyer miles in air travel promotions or awards scheme credit card. That is, the contributor CPUsage is creating "points" to let the application units consume processing power of idle computer (when airconditioners idle or when you run something very light).

CPUsage activity is intended primarily for companies that manage SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) or PaaS (Platform as a Service), so the large influx of customers is something we should get used to the user wants to work with processing in exchange for gifts and prizes. Jeff Martens plan, CPUsage founder, plans to provide 45 cents who donate computing power sufficient to win $ 1 CPUsage. Customers of the service, CPUsage charges 15 cents per hour of CPU usage. Clearly, no one is going to get rich by giving individuals donating CPU to earn at least $ 10, but it's good to know that the project is also supportive edges, as Martens mentioned the possibility of using computers in public schools for them earn extra money for funding. The viability of the project depends on himself and his ability to raise the money needed to start working.

Lady Gaga released literally a skeleton costume

2011-07-28T08:22:00.000-07:00

Now if there is anyone who should not strive for attention, for it comes almost automatically, is Lady Gaga. After the infamous dress meat used last year at the MTV awards, which seemed insurmountable at the time, is that there is a new look in sight of the star.

And to follow the anatomical line, this time the dress was the result of a bone inspiration .... the dress will be bones. It seems that an Internet company that sells products related to the food industry, Gaga offered a modest sum of $ 500 thousand dollars to get the dress at the MTV awards this year. Of course, the dress is a secret to only a few walls and have no idea how it will be.

This carnivorous company is based in Ohio, USA declared that it met with a famous designer, whose name also remains secret, who shows his work on the runways in the world and, in theory, is already working on a designs crazier than the fashion industry has seen. And if the dress is a skeleton, makeup and accessories, too? Maybe instead of eye shadow Gaga will use a little sauce.

The director of the company called PigoftheMonth, Leah Richards, said "we will not disclose even the number of bones to be included in the dress" However, rumors indicate that weigh several kilos attire. But yes, "Gaga will be able to move in a normal way," said Richards.

That part kind of crazy idea 'fashionista' is that after you use the star for the MTV event, the dress will be auctioned to benefit a financial assistance program for artists called 'Bones for Hunger. "

Lady Gaga does not say anything, and certainly put it that you will notice. The awards will air on August 28 this year in Los Angeles, California. Just have to wait and see to believe.

Tips for a healthy diet

2011-07-12T20:43:00.000-07:00

The diet should always be varied and balanced, taking into account all the food groups, and caring quantities.
You do not have to be hunger, extreme diets that promise to lower all our surplus pounds in three days do not work, as healthy to lose weight gradually, between half and one pound a week.

Try to always eat at the same time, develop your schedule and stick to it. Do not skip any food even when not hungry, I recommend are 5 meals a day, you should not miss more than 4 hours without food.

Learn to read labels, "0% fat" is not the same as "no calorie" usually the light products are added more sugar to taste pleasant. The secret is to care for the portion size, whether or not a food low in fat.

Try to eat at least 2 hours before bedtime, because the metabolism slows down at night and is easier to accumulate fat.

Try to choose foods high in fiber will help you feel satisfied more easily.

Always keep on hand in your pocket or in your office, healthy foods like an apple, nuts or yogurt, this will help you not find what you should not eat.

It's good that you start your meal with a green salad or a glass of water will help you feel satisfied and not eat much.

The scale should not become an obsession, I suggest that your guide is no longer a garment that you have left, before the scale, if your choice is the scale, Weigh yourself only once a week, at the same time, preferably the morning on an empty stomach and without clothes.

Eat slowly, chew food thoroughly.

Preferably about dressing your dishes with olive oil and vinegar dressing asks next, and choose those that are most transparent, not creamy.

Decorate in a striking way your dishes, try to change them, do not eat the same thing.

Drink water throughout the day and green tea after meals.

Plan your menus, to do your grocery shopping take a list, keep the cart away anything that might be a temptation to break your willpower.

If something were to break your diet, do not wait until the next day to retrieve it, do it immediately in the next meal you touch.

Try to avoid alcohol, but I understand that sometimes it is impossible in these cases opt for red wine

Try to avoid fat, eat raw, roasted, steamed, grilled, wallpaper, etc..

There will be times that the commitments will not be easy to fulfill your diet you choose the option of eating only half of what you serve.

If you have a hunger attack, take a glass of water first and then a glass of fruit juice to quench the craving.

Try to keep a diary of what you eat, scoring all!, Any sin however small, you'll realize why you're not getting the results you want.

As I mentioned, regardless of diet you make, if accompanied by this advice, sure to meet the outcomes you seek. Remember that exercise is very important of course to help you, but you have to be very clear that 70% of the result is what goes into your mouth, the other 30% Leave it to exercise.

10 tricks to surf faster

2011-07-08T21:14:00.000-07:00

The time that needed a minute to load a page is far from reality. The broadband connections have replaced the modem and browsing speed has increased dramatically. We may not have even the information highway but a paved road, at least, yes.

However, this advantage can ruin because of the wide variety of reasons, from websites to heavy and poorly timed bit applications optimized for your connection, to failures in auxiliary services such as DNS.

Do you also your connection is slower than usual? Do not despair, man. Whatever your problem, we give you ten tips for faster browsing. Fixed that one will work.
0. First things first: measure the speed of your connection

The wind blows more or less strong, the connection seems more or less rapid ... It all starts with a sensation. However, nothing beats a reliable measurement to know for sure what's wrong with your connection. Use a speedometer to know how fast Internet data low.

We recommend BASP, JDast or one of many tests speed Internet connection available, as Velocimetro.org, TestdeVelocidad or test the association of Internet users.

JDast

If the speed is lower than expected, there may be several causes: the failure of your central communications operator, problems with your router, and so on. Open an issue with your carrier is only part of the solution. Here we will discuss what is in your hand.
1. Change your DNS for a faster (OpenDNS, Google DNS ...)

When you write the address of a web page, the browser first contacts the DNS server for the IP address corresponding to the machine serving the pages. If for some reason the DNS servers fail or were subjected to heavy loads, the connection would suffer immediately.

DNS-Jumper

To avoid this problem, change the DNS servers by hand or using tools such as DNS or DNS Jumper Benchmark, which allow you to find and activate the DNS faster for your line. How about some easy to remember DNS? The Google: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
2. Compresses the pages with Opera Turbo or fasTun

Today, a website can weigh up to one megabyte. If your connection is not able to digest this volume of data, arm yourself with patience ... or use a web compressor. The Opera browser includes one since version 10. Opera is called Turbo.

Opera Turbo

Turbo Opera loads pages through its servers, having compressed the images and other heavy elements. The result is a much faster loading of pages, at the expense of visual quality and sometimes functionality.

And if you use another browser? Then try fasTun, a service that not only compresses images and HTML, but also provides partial anonymity by hiding your IP number.
3. Proxify clean pages with your browser or modify them

Compression is a powerful option, but it affects the quality of the pages. If you load a page without certain items, such as advertising or scripts, there are many anonymous proxies which will be of great utility. The most interesting is Proxify, which ensures speed and privacy. Another similar is The Cloak.

Profixy

You can get something similar disabling the loading of images, animations and scripts in your browser settings, or through extensions such as NoScript, AdBlock Plus or FlashBlock.
4. Become going through a mobile phone

Many sites have mobile versions that take less time to load without sacrificing the core functionality. To "trick" into thinking that your computer is a mobile, use the User-Agent Switcher extension (also for Chrome). Choose iPhone or other options to change their identity.

User-Agent Switcher

Another way to navigate style is to use Google Mobile Transcoder or MOWSE. Both services tailored websites to be loaded on mobile first-generation (to be clear, yet those who sail WAP). The result is ... austere.

Everything indicates that Valentina Paloma Pinault, daughter of Salma Hayek three years, has a third half-brother.

According to court papers filed in New York recently by supermodel Linda Evangelista, his son Augustin James, four years would be Hayek's husband, son, François-Henri Pinault. Hayek and Pinault were married in 2009 but maintained a relationship since 2006, during which they separated for a time during which Evangelista became pregnant. Pinault is also the father of two children from a previous marriage that ended in 2004.

Now Evangelista has asked the court that Pinault, 49, is made financially responsible for both the child procreated.

Has not been determined how much is the amount that Pinault would be required to pay monthly child support for the Evangelist.

"It seems only necessary that the examining magistrate to review the documentation submitted by the parent in order to determine the amount you should pay for the maintenance of small, which would continue until the child turns 21 Evangelista years" , a source told PEOPLE. "[Pinault] has requested the opportunity to testify by telephone," the source added.

Meanwhile, another source told PEOPLE: "This is not a case like Schwarzenegger. They were not married. There was no infidelity by either.

The Pinault family fortune is valued at about 16 to 18 billion dollars.Bloomberg Businessweek reported that Pinault's salary in 2010 amounted to $ 5.4 million.

In New York, where papers were presented before the court, the law requires the father to pay 17 percent of his salary as child maintenance. In this case the sum would amount to about $ 920,000 a year.

Representatives of Salma Hayek and Linda Evangelista did not answer calls from PEOPLE to give a declaration.

World of Warcraft "free" (F2P)

2011-07-03T10:06:00.000-07:00

Ladies and gentlemen, we can say without doubt that it wasinevitable. More and more online games that take a free profile, using microtransactions to finance it. We recently mentioned thatTeam Fortress 2 took the path of F2P, but now would be the turn of the most popular MMORPG on the Web, World of Warcraft. Still, we want to draw attention to the quotes in the word free, as there are some details to consider. The last measurement made during the March to World of Warcraftstood with a base of 11.4 million players. That number has been higher in the past, but still remains the most popular online game inthe world. World of Warcraft was originally released in November2004 but came into the EU in February next year. World of Warcrafthas had three expansions, and was announced fourth, with name,release date and plot to be determined. With this new wave of online games that adopt a business model based on microtransactions, it has been speculating in recent months after nearly seven years in operation, would be a good time for World of Warcraft is free again, with in order to dramatically expand its number of users.

According to a recent announcement, it appears that day hasarrived, but the truth is you have to take the news with a smallclamp. World of Warcraft will have a F2P mode, albeit with certainlimitations. First, players may reach a maximum free level 20characters for all who believe. Then, they will have the opportunity to join a guild, and can carry ten gold coins as a stopper. On the other hand, no time limits, and a player can make all the charactersyou want. The sense of the word "free" this far and anyone whowishes to go beyond these restrictions, you must buy the game.

This news comes before the changes made by other games such as Team Fortress 2. According to some reports that have circulated the web, play Valve tripled its user base in less than 48hours, something spectacular where you look. The more users, the more likely to tempt them to invest their money in the game. If themove by Blizzard to bring World of Warcraft to a F2P model seemsa bit cold in comparison, because the truth indicates no need so much. With more than eleven million customers in its ranks faithfullypaying their monthly fee, the idea of fighting for selling arms and equipment in the game does not seem so attractive, but any number may drop over time.

SleepWell: Double the battery life of your mobile

2011-07-03T09:58:00.000-07:00

One of the basic conditions that must have a modern mobile phone is to have WiFi connectivity. This technical feature can access a web connection, with the benefit that means saving our spending (if limited) for Internet downloads. Music, movies, series, videos from YouTube, Tweets, updating our profile on Facebook and thousands of applications that we serve. However, all good things it can offer, does not leave out a serious problem: the length of our battery is reduced significantly. SleepWell is a piece of software that will increase the battery life on your phone twice (yes, you read right) without leave to enjoy your favorite applications. If you use WiFi on your phone, this article is what you were expecting.

Although the technicians and engineers set about the task of developing new technologies, make their best efforts on energy management to a near-optimal limit on mobile devices, WiFi connectivity remains a major energy guzzlers. Mobile devices are designed to efficiently act as an access point "only" within a network. However, when the access points increases (other devices requesting data), the system is responsible for organizing and directing data to the different teams can make some spend long periods of time "awake" waiting for their chance to send orreceive data packets. As the density of AP (Access Point) in the neighborhood increases, increases the waiting time, resulting in a proportional decrease in battery life. SleepWell is a system that achieves energy efficiency and avoid permanent dependence on the network. The operating principle of the system is simple to understand and is based on off ("put to sleep") during specific time windows to the devices. That is, organize the network so that all WiFi devices to connect to it are not on a permanent waiting "their turn", but are activated during small time intervals and exchange data when necessary.

'Jersey Shore' fake Fight

I finnaly get to see one of Jennifer Lopez breast, is like an oops, German TV channel ZDF's most famous show "Wetten dass?" (Based on American show "Wanna Bet", known as "You Bet" in the UK) was filming in the Balearic island of Mallorca at the weekend. A star-studded event, it included appearances by Cameron Diaz, Heidi Klum and Jennifer Lopez, who 'appeared' rather more than planned.

Can dogs read our mind?

2011-06-13T08:37:00.000-07:00

Can dogs read our minds? How do I learn to order food or decide to misbehave when they do not look? According to Monique Udell and her team at the University of Florida (USA), the way dogs respond to the level of attention paid people tells us something about the way they think and learn about human behavior.

Recent research has identified a wide range of social behaviors similar to humans in the domestic dog, including its ability to respond to body language of people around him, to verbal commands, and states of attention. But how? Do you see your behavior in different circumstances and then respond accordingly? Or learn from experience, responding to what happens around them?

To find out, Udell and her colleagues launched two experiments to compare how they act domestic dogs, sheepdogs and wolves giving them the opportunity to order food, whether a person or a person to alert the animal can not see. So for the first time found that wolves are able to claim humans approaching food alert. This shows that both kinds - domestic and non domestic - have the ability to behave according to the state of attention of a human being. In addition, both wolves and dogs were able to quickly improve performance with practice.

Also reached the conclusion that dogs living in a home environment are more sensitive to predictable stimuli in humans attentive than pastoralists. Dog behavior, they conclude, "is due to the willingness of animals to accept humans as social peers, combined with an ability to track the movements and actions of individuals to receive confirmation. "

A first look at iOS 5 for the iPad

2011-06-12T15:59:00.000-07:00

After testing the device iOS 5 star, ie the iPhone 4. now comes the turn to do the same with his older brother, ie, the iPad.

In our case, we decide to try iOS 5 on a first-generation iPad by simple curiosity to see how far Apple was keeping a good performance in the team.

The surprise is capitalized because the device has not been damaged in almost any way. Still retaining some lag in some areas compared to the new model, but is perfectly usable and except for some detail, the experience is more than satisfactory.

If anything has surprised me in general terms is a post I published a few days ago. It commented that iOS 5 could be the first system to distinguish between iPhone and iPad to integrate some different characteristics depending on the device.

In this analysis we mentioned that the widgets, if integrated into the new system would make much more sense in the iPad (for space and use) than the iPhone.

Well damn if we were wrong, and that things would be fulfilled but surprisingly the opposite.

And now that we have Widgets on the iPhone, it is true that they are only two and also not having much use (so far), goes and removes these Widgets Apple iPad. And is that the notification center of iOS 5 for the iPad not have the ability to display the time and the stock market, as do small household devices.

It is rather strange as the solution and only makes me think again, again, in this issue about the differences between the two systems: Apple is planning a center of "widgets"fuller iPad?

In all other important points about the notifications and new sections are maintained and function identically. It is also interesting to see that Apple has kept the proportions of the iPhone and has not expanded the panels and in other system options.

Thus, the notification center and the home screen that shows them maintain a similar size to the iPhone (slightly larger, but not expanded to fill the size of IPAD).

I also really liked the new iPod feature, a deep facelift brings a new design radically different and very attractive, but still have to polish the odd control, as the songs progress, it is quite difficult to control.

How to make money in times of uncertainty

2011-05-25T08:30:00.000-07:00

The challenge for any investor is to find the market trend to make money investing downward or upward.

Then it is easy with the amount of tools and strategies that exist in the market for it and earn big money down to invest in stock.

The truth is that trends are always but there is no way of knowing when to change. If there are indicators used in technical analysis of charts but they are never one hundred percent effective.

What happens if you take the decision to invest in the low and the trend changes and the stock starts to rise?

Exactly the same as if you take the initiative to reverse the rise and the trend is reversed and the stock price drop will not stop ...

Lose and you lose a lot!

But Yes, you can make money investing covering downward if the market reverses trend and begins an upward wave like this:

Buying ETFs that go against the rise of a particular sector or product.

To better understand me, let's take a hypothetical example that you consider the value of property in USA will continue to fall in price. (Watch out!, I do not say that, it's just an example).

Then you can buy an ETF that replicates the decline in property values in a very easy, and in that case if the value of the properties in the USA lowered the 10%, you would win about 10%.

In this way you could use Proven Principles and Exchange FREE Course to earn money by investing MPMG down while having your money protected if there is a change in trend

And that's not all, because there are ETFs that track the index two or three times. That is, if the properties in USA go down 10%, you would earn a 20% or 30%.

There are many ETFs that allow such operations and is extremely easy to do because its operation of buying and selling as well as their coverage is similar to the form of stock trading

In this way you know how to make money investing down in investing in the stock market without being exposed to sudden market swings that will allow you to be calm and make big money with your investment protected.

Animation: Extraordinary facial animation

2011-05-18T09:11:00.000-07:00

Over the years, the animation quality in both games and movies has increased dramatically, something which undoubtedly can be attributed to the large increase in processing power and flexibility to both computers as tools offer today. These two factors combined with motion capture can produce truly great results, as is the case with this facial animation created by people Janimation study. If something like this comes to video games, the jump in quality is impressive.

When the Avatar movie made its debut in 2009, everyone was amazed by the visual quality of it, but who have accumulated a high degree of exposure to video games and computer animations, we received a much smaller impact. Cameron needed to wait ten years to make the film. And in ten years, the processing power of computers has increased exponentially, with the blessing of Moore's Law still in force in the middle. One of the most important advances in video game animation could be displayed on the "Prince of Persia" in 1989, when its creator Jordan Mechner used his brother's videos as a reference for animation. It was not what you would call a pure motion capture, but things were very different from there.

And now we find this video posted by the people of Janimation, a study has had involvement in movies like Iron Man, Lilo & Stitch and The Lion King. Facial animation before us is simply fabulous. Motion capture combined with a bit of ZBrush, ICE, and use the rendering engine known as Arnold made this work possible, taking into account of course the work of actors and artists. If you look carefully, you will not even have missed the detail of the flash. While many games strive to achieve perfect lip sync, something as basic as the flicker usually ends ignored, but in this case is not so.

The video was posted on YouTube a few days ago, but for some reason has remained off the radar. Imagine for a moment, the level of animation in games with a lot of scenes in the foreground. Not only would a "Crysis effect" struck again, but we should also run around our computers with similar processing updates that enable animation. Janimation official site still has nothing published about it, which in part increased the silence around the video. However, it is worth every second of it, and hope to see something like this in our systems as soon as possible.

A common disorder among the stars

2011-05-10T05:09:00.000-07:00

Jim Carrey, Elizabeth Taylor, Robert Downey Jr, Mel Gibson, Ari Telch, Alejandro Bracho and Miguel Pizarro made his illness public

Following the British actress Catherine Zeta-Jones recently confessed to suffering from bipolar disorder, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez think they also suffer from this condition.

Zeta-Jones said openly suffering bipolar affective disorder (BAD), formerly known as manic-depressive psychosis, abruptly alternating periods of excitability (mania) to other depression.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), this condition affects about 4 percent of world population and is the sixth leading cause of disability.

A few days ago, the wife of actor Michael Douglas, recognized the importance of asking for help early, plus if your bipolarity has helped others to attend, then it will be worthwhile, since she was admitted to a health center mental for five days.

Jim Carrey, Elizabeth Taylor, Robert Downey Jr, Mel Gibson, Ari Telch, Alejandro Bracho and Miguel Pizarro, are some of the personalities who have been affected by the TAB, as well as Oscar winner.

The actor Jim Carrey, who in such films as "Irene, me and my other self" or "Liar Liar" gave life to the mentally ill, and his life is not so foreign to these roles. According to the declaration of a friend of the actor, his break with Jenny McCarthy was caused by his mental condition.

Elizabeth Taylor, one of the muses of the Seventh Art, died April 23, married with seven men who never achieved stability and though he never spoke openly of their illness, some people have commented that their depressive episodes his addiction to alcohol led to multiple failures sentimental.

Russell Brand, Katy Perry's husband, has been affected by this evil, suffering from two diseases: bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Thanks to a very thorough follow-up can lead a normal life.

The stepmother of actor Robert Downey Jr., told an international publication that was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, although he has repeatedly denied.

For its part, Mel Gibson admitted in the documentary "Acting class 1977" I was manic-depressive. Many psychologists have said that was shielded by his illness to justify his violent outbursts and narcissism.

In Mexico, Ari Telch, last year, was rushed to a psychiatric hospital in this city due to a crisis product of bipolarity. The actor has been affected by the disease since age 13.

Alejandro Bracho has also had to walk on the hospital for this disorder, who because of a project that did not materialize and which hoped to succeed, was depressed to such a degree that led him to consider suicide.

His face haggard, his voice breaking and even with the conviction to try again, the actor Miguel Pizarro struck in 2004 to discuss her illness and her suicide attempt.

Solar Panels has been improve with virus

2011-04-26T20:34:00.000-07:00

Viruses can help build better solar panels that capture and process more efficient solar energy into electrical energy. This has been demonstrated at a Research Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT for its acronym in English) that has used a type of virus to restructure the carbon nanotube solar panels and increase their efficiency by 30 percent, from 8 to 10 , 6 per cent.

That the efficiency of solar panels is still well below their potential is more than evident. What was not known so far is that something so small and is sometimes dangerous as a virus, could hold the key.

The virus called M13 coordinate gets rolled carbon nanotubes in graphene that make solar cells so that the electron transport more efficient and therefore produce more electricity. Basically, the M13 gets the two types of nanotubes (semiconductors and cables) that form the structure of solar cells, do not interfere with each other and impede the flow of electrons, but the structure becomes smooth.

Grätzel cells
Each virus controls between five and ten nanotubes, using about 300 proteins. In addition, viruses have been genetically modified to produce a layer of titanium dioxide, a key component in Grätzel cells, a type of structure they use this compound to improve electron transport.

Xiangnan Hyunjung Yi Dang, MIT students along with Professor Angela Belcher successfully tested this new virus in Grätzel cells, but explained that the technique could also be used for other types of solar cells, including organic.

The virus also solubilized nanotubes making them easier to incorporate the solar panels at room temperature, significantly reducing the manufacturing cost.

Movies on YouTube after a deal with Sony and Universal

2011-04-26T20:27:00.000-07:00

The streaming video service YouTube would be close to allow users to watch movies on your site. Some of the largest companies in the industry, such as Sony Pictures Entertainment, Warner Brothers and Universal, will lend their productions for this project, which could begin this week or next.

The movie industry is finding new ways to distribute their content and prevent piracy affecting this sector. There are several initiatives in this regard, as the service offered by Apple and Netflix, a company with a strong position right now in the online video market. Even Facebook has reached an agreement with Warner to rent movies through the network.

However, the most visited site in streaming video on the Internet, YouTube, I still had some way to go, take some time despite offering movie rentals through its site. Now it seems that the platform gathers momentum in this market. According to information published in The Wrap, the Google website has reached agreements with Sony Pictures Entertainment, Warner Brothers and Universal to offer access to their productions.

Apart from these big companies, YouTube would have signed other agreements with more independent producers such as Lionsgate and Kino Lorber, sources close to the negotiations. In this way the site would be ready to launch its movie rental service this week or next.

The agreements will expand the catalog of movies on YouTube, making it a competitive service that can compete with the supply of systems like Apple or Netflix. The great mass of the platform gives users the ability to boost this sector site, supporting a new form of distribution for films.

According to The Wrap, other producers such as Paramount, Fox and Disney have rejected the agreement with YouTube to offer movies through the site. On the other hand, streaming video company has issued a statement after meeting the information published stating "We have been adding more and more titles strongly since we launched the YouTube movie rental for more than a year, and now we have thousands of titles available. Beyond that we do not comment on rumors or speculation. "
Renting movies on YouTube

YouTube videos usually have a short duration. It is a place where you can see larger productions, in fact they tend to be divided into several parts. In fact the platform has never promoted the movie rentals as such.

At present the company has seen the business niche, according to a source close to the deal, manager of one of the producers who signed: "We believe this begins with VOD (video on demand), but will be expanded to include sales over time. We are very excited because we are happy to see new participants in the transaction model rather than a subscription model. "

It is unclear how YouTube will charge for the rental of films, but behind it is a market of 130 million monthly users to monetize the new service.

The future of maps on the internet

2011-04-24T21:14:00.000-07:00

There is no doubt that the map uncharted territory is man's best friend. To this end, Nokia has released a tool that promises to raise to the next level guidance systems on the web.

"Have you heard the news? The world is not flat, it's actually quite three dimensional. So what about online maps? are flat or three too?", published in the company's blog announcing the new product.

Easily accessible from mobile devices, Ovi Maps features 3D models of major cities around the world, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Miami, Toronto, Madrid, Prague, enabling the user to explore the three-dimensional view after installing a plug-in in your browser. http://maps.ovi.com/3d/index.html

The technology used to generate these maps requires each object captured from 100 different angles, then adds texture using an image processor.

Sony Network playtation fell, and while his desperate attempt to find out exactly responsible for why, the more than 70 million registered users is pulling their hairs watching the error messages that throw their PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3. The case, which has already been a day of existence, seems to have roots in an attack by hackers and according to spokesmen at the disaster of entertainment, the problem may be one or two more days to resolve.
Users of the online service for Playstation 3 and Playstation Portable-eat breakfast or snacks according to the time zone, a few days with various error messages on gaming services, including streaming video provided by Sony through its platform . Angry at the situation and above all flooded out of frustration, users attended a show of indifference, because since Sony gave no sign of life for a long period, which ended several hours later with a notice more than obvious in blog: Sony PlayStation Network had fallen and services do not respond at the moment. Since Sony is urged patience and then verify and try to detect the cause of the problems may be suspected of an attack by hackers, the spokesmen announced that the network would remain closed for a day or two before servicing and return to players the field of play.

Successful quantum teleportation

2011-04-20T05:59:00.000-07:00

A team of researchers from the University of Tokyo in Japan and the University of New South Wales in Australia, led by Noriyuki Lee, has succeeded in teleporting non-classical wave packets of light from one place to another. This, simply put, means that for the first time it has managed to send data from one site to another instantly, without using the "slow" classical photons are capable of exceeding the speed of light. According to the authors of the paper, the system could be used in the design of quantum computers faster and capable of delivering information securely and instantly.

For years, scientists looking for ways of making quantum teleportation provided by the laws of physics in a real device. The "small print" of quantum physics says that under certain conditions, it is possible to transfer information between two points instantly, without the limitations imposed by the speed of light. But one thing is that something is possible (or permitted by the laws governing the universe) and quite another to build an apparatus that becomes a reality. There have been several experiments, some surprising results, but it seems, have been researchers at the University of Tokyo in Japan along with the University of New South Wales in Australia, led by Noriyuki Lee, who have been successful in build what they call "a teleportation device bandwidth and zero dispersion."

The system could be used in the design of quantum computers faster. The system could be used in the design of quantum computers faster.

The results of this work have been published in the journal Science. Basically, what did these scientists was sent from point A to point B a number of quantum-level data expressed by photons. Obviously, the interesting thing about this is that these particles have been used in the same way that profit within an optical fiber, but quantum effects have been used with such strange names as "constraint", "photon subtraction" "entanglement" and "homodyne detection." The result has been a teleportation device capable of teleporting non-classical wave packets of light from one place to another making for the first time to transfer all the information without losing any fragments in the process. In this experiment, the points of departure and arrival (A and B) were relatively close, but the theory behind all this nonsense technological forecast is possible to do the same between any two points of the Universe.

"A teleportation device capable of sending non-classical wave packets of light from one place to another without losing any fragment."

Needless to say that an accomplishment like this, become a commercial device, change the way we communicate. The ability to instantly transfer data (or whatever it is, in a time equal to zero) implies that we may, for example, receive all our emails in a flash, download 1TB of data in the same time, or any else you can think of. But there are some more subtle implications. If this technology becomes part of microprocessors, for example, its processing speed would also increase dramatically, because the signals that travel through it could get from one end to another device in no time. According to the authors of this paper, the system used could be used to design quantum computers really amazing features.

Five tips and tricks for creating messages of 140 characters on Twitter ... and not die trying

2011-04-19T08:40:00.000-07:00

If what you have to say takes more than 140 characters, do not say it on Twitter. Open a blog, go to Facebook, talk in person. If you still can believe your message is essential for mankind uses Twitlonger or Deckly, few times a month. A sensible limit may be 5 tweets per month. But still it is best that you can learn to summarize, to use short, back to basics. Express your ideas in 140 characters is more challenging and fun, but not everything. If you like writing and your ideas are complex, many people would love to read you your new WordPress blog, it's time to try. And while you're on Twitter, you can follow these tips and write in 140 characters or less.

1.

Use a shortening of URLs to share a link. It is one of the best ways to save space in a tweet. Any links you share on Twitter should pass through to a shortening of directions, in theory the same Twitter could do it, but in the end is never fully integrated with the tool, not what is the reason. The best are Bit.ly, Ow.ly, and Cli.gs. Goo.gl For more information visit the Wikipedia URL shortening
2.

Use synonyms and abbreviations. There are many opportunities in which you can change a single word by a synonym that takes up less characters. For example, the word "productivity" in some cases can be replaced with "performance," spent 13 characters to 11. When using abbreviations savings is even greater characters. An example might be to use U.S. or USA instead of United States. It is important that you use common sense and do not cut words tweets filled with the ominous language or SMS. You can use a 1 x 2 x two, x and by, equal =, + x again, and so on and so on.
3.

Be simple. In a tweet is always reflect a single idea. Be direct, bluntly, not things too much ornamentation. Not necessary (although it helps) that includes the question say something original in the tweet, it usually appears in the right leg, or a link that says "in response." No need to complicate things, you're not writing an email. No need to say hello, goodbye, or ask permission. Get to the point!

4. Read the message again and check what words you can remove. When you post a tweet do not worry about the limit of characters until you finish writing. If you ran the 140, read again all, try to remove words or phrases that are unnecessary. This works in a high percentage of times. In extreme cases you may want to divide the tweet into two parts. If the two ideas are not connected, wait a few minutes to send another tweet. On the other hand, if you spend the 140 characters, there is no reason to summarize anything.

5.
Begins again. If there is no way to summarize a tweet, erase everything and start over again trying to use other words and a different wording. It's pretty extreme to do this, but it works very well. Sometimes we engage in something and not see clearly how things simple. If the second attempt you can not do better to try a blog.

Deadly bacteria in hot tubs at the Playboy Mansion

2011-04-17T21:38:00.000-07:00

County health inspectors in Los Angeles confirmed that the potentially fatal bacteria detected at the Playboy Mansion was in the water of hot tubs. This could have been the cause of massive disease 170 guests who attended a party in February.
At first it was believed that the mass infection was due to a machine to create fog, placed near the pool, which was used during the party at the Playboy Mansion.

But after analyzing water samples in a laboratory in the county, health officials concluded that the bacterium Legionella, which causes a type of pneumonia known as Legionnaire's Disease, was the culprit.

And just so far able to determine that this dangerous bacteria was properly installed in the dozens of hot tubs that are in all the Playboy Mansion.

In the Tudor-style mansion of Hugh Hefner, located in the hills of Beverly Hills, was held on 3 February a fundraiser such as closure of the annual conference DOMAINfest Global. A party attended by hundreds of people who came from 30 countries.

*
Hefner, concerned about the bacteria because they home in June

One day after the event, dozens of guests reported having symptoms that included high fever, breathing problems and severe headaches. Most had symptoms of pneumonia, and three of them tested positive for the H1N1 flu tests.

Overall, health officials reported 170 cases of sick guests, all with similar symptoms.

Now, it is good time for the infamous Playboy Mansion copper since it Hugh Hefner, 84, owner of the Playboy empire, said that in June will marry the bunny Crystal Harris, 24, in the very mansion , at a party that will bring together more than 1,000 guests.

"This is the year of the rabbit in the Chinese calendar, so the party will have more bunnies than ever," Hefner joked.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, for its acronym in English), suggest that healthy people recover quickly from the type of pneumonia called Legionnaires' disease through treatment with antibiotics.

However, if you have preexisting health conditions can cause death. Between 8,000 and 18,000 people need to be hospitalized each year in the country infected with this bacteria.

Explains the Medical Center of the University of Maryland, is an acute respiratory infection caused by the bacterium Legionella.

This bacterium usually occurs in water supply systems and can survive in hot, humid and air conditioning large buildings such as hospitals ... or mansions.

Has not demonstrated that there is the spread of bacteria from one person to another.

Although the disease has been reported in children, most infections occur in middle age or elderly.

The disease took its name when a particular group of people attending a convention in Philadelphia in 1976 were infected with the bacteria.

Im not sure, maybe someone did touch her, myself I have been bipolar for a while before and I get the sensations that someone touch me or hit me and no one is there, that is why I think she might have a mental problem worst that bipolar, hopely not, she is awsome and yes very beautiful :)

Tips for maintaining the air conditioning in your car

2011-04-17T21:16:00.000-07:00

Before starting it is necessary to clarify that the maintenance of your air conditioning needs to be done by an expert as the operating system is complex and consists of several components that require some skill such as a condenser, a compressor, refrigerant gases among other things. The tips below will give you is to give better care and help to prolong life:
Depending on the application, so there is no universal rule, if the air conditioning is not working properly, that is not cool as it should, chances are that the thermostat is not working so I have to replace it.
After a day-long use in some occasions you will notice that the air conditioning on the floor can leave watermarks. Do not worry this is normal since due to vapor condensation is formed and it falls to the ground by a previously designated tube.
When starting your car for the first time in the day remember to take off the air conditioning. If you do the lighting system when you need more power which will affect battery life by decreasing their time.
If you're driving and want to use the air conditioner, do it always with the windows closed because if you do not consume more gasoline. Also never use to its full potential unless the outside temperature exceeds 40 ° C.
If you are not a regular user of the air conditioning is always recommended that you try at least once a year in order to check if proper cooling and avoid damaging other parts of it such as the compressor.
Performs preventive maintenance that the manufacturer tells you the user manual in order to maintain the warranty and have no surprises when you need to use air conditioning.
If you get to replace the coolant in your air conditioner uses the so-called R-134 is regulated by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in USA and is used by automakers as it does not harm the ozone layer.

Newborns can learn fast!

2011-04-15T21:26:00.000-07:00

A new European research reveals that infants are able to identify as early as four months, some foreign language grammar rules. The study, published in the journal PLoS ONE, greatly improves the understanding of language learning in infants.

Children pick up languages at a speed and apparent ease with which a jaw-dropping both their parents and researchers. Studies with infants suggest that even infants are able to differentiate the various phonemes of the syllables. In addition, babies born to very young children seem able to recognize relationships between adjacent syllables tend to occur together.

However, often there are elements that are often linked grammatically but do not appear together in a phrase, for example, in the phrase "is singing", the word "is" is separated from the ending "-ing" the root "to sing ".

"Learning these nonadjacent dependencies is much more difficult than learning to adjacent units," write the researchers.

In fact, previous studies indicated the possibility that children do not understand this kind of rules until the age of 17 or 18 months.

"It seemed too late," said Professor Angela Friederici, Director, Department of Neuropsychology at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Germany.

ITALIAN AND GERMAN

In this study, Professor Friederici and colleagues sought to determine whether infants of four months could identify these units are not adjacent.

Chose the age of four months because studies suggest that babies of that age already had some phonological discrimination abilities and some degree of verbal memory.

The researchers began teaching German babies four months some basics of Italian.

In just over three minutes, the infants heard sentences in Italian containing two simple constructions. One type of sentence construction including "sta X-ing" '(as is X-ing "), an example of such a sentence is" [il fratello] his singing, "which means" [the brother] is singing ".

The second type of sentence construction including "può X-are" '(such as "may X"), in this case, we can mention the example "[The sorella] può cantare" which means "[the sister] can sing" .

After listening to Italian phrases of this kind, properly trained for three minutes, the children underwent a brief trial, during which he listened to both correct and incorrect sentences. Incorrect phrases mixed constructions, forming phrases like "the singing può sorella" ("The sister can sing") or "il fratello sta sing" ("the brother is singing").

In total, the children went through four phases of learning during which they heard a total of 256 correct sentences, the total learning time was just over 13 minutes.

During the experiment, we measured the brain activity of babies. In the early stages of testing, only perceived differences in the pattern of activity recorded when the babies heard Italian phrases wrong.

However, in the fourth phase of testing, there were different patterns of activity indicating that the children had learned that "sta" should go with "-ing" and "può" with "-are."

"Current data show that children of four months can identify dependencies between adjacent elements in sentences after a brief exposure to a native language is not natural," the researchers conclude.

"The emergence of sensitivity to the grammatical regularities indicates that children identified dependencies between the two pairs of adjacent elements (ie, auxiliary verbs and verb suffixes for) the correct sentences they had heard during the training phase ".

"Clearly, the children of this age do not detect errors related to the content," says Professor Friederici. "Long before they understand the meaning, and generalize regularities babies recognize the sound of language."

According to investigators, the patterns of brain activity of German babies four months when exposed to errors were more like the masters of Italian-speaking adults. Native German speakers who were studying Italian as a second language did not respond the same way.

According to the researchers, this "suggests that learning can natively limited to certain.

Happy Birthday Charles Chaplin!

The most dangerous golf course there is

2011-04-14T20:08:00.000-07:00

If you are someone who thinks golf is a sport too boring, then you should go to Australia, particularly at Carbrook Golf Club in Queensland. In this area the water trap is real sharks. No joke. Here's the proof. Sharks were a myth for years, but as you can see in the video are real, there are up to ten feet long and it seems they reached the field after a flood in the 90's.

The sharks are fed to chickens, which is good because at least they do not develop an appetite for meat player.

So it is proved that a golf course things can go worse than what happened to Rory McIlroy last weekend. Personally I like golf but not where there are sharks:)

Murp-Don't Brush My Hair in Knots

2011-04-14T12:22:00.001-07:00

The bands of brothers are not new, just ask for "Hanson, Donny & Marie and the Bee Gees"- but rarely emerge at an early age.

The band of "metals", which calls itself MURP has sparked the curiosity of the blogosphere thanks to his passionate interpretation of the original track ("Do not Brush My Hair in Knots"), who sings the girl of 3 years.

Childhood trauma to resist how you untangle knotted hair has been immortalized in punk rock. The singer also has a small acoustic song on YouTube entitled "Everything is beautiful" ("Everything is Pretty"). Because versatility is very important in a musician.

We hope that the star should not divorce his drummer brother, who has been taking lessons to launch a solo career.

The brothers MURP, free of rivalries make this explosive genre look adorable.
Maybe this little girl might be the reincarnation or the succesor of Janis joplin from the 70s?

Shakira lost her ring

2011-04-14T06:48:00.000-07:00

Shakira is already part of the long list of robberies in Mexico. So as you read! During his concert in Monterrey, on 8 April, a ring was stolen from the hand of the Colombian.

I tell the scene: Was the Barranquilla singing as he greeted his fans, when suddenly one of his followers took his hand and BOOM! Express theft ring.

We can see in the video that follows, Shakira, at the time of the robbery, he turns to see the hand-faced pot as saying: "'On ta'?".
Is an embarrasing situation. We only hope that this ring has not been of great value. Of the lesser evil right?

Vision 3D: Nvidia releases 3D streaming technology

2011-04-13T21:04:00.000-07:00

Regarding the increasing presence of 3D content in different media and devices, Nvidia does not walk with tiny punches or excessive, and at a conference held at NAB 2011, the company announced that it has decided to release its technology 3D video playback for free. This is just the limitations on the dissemination of three-dimensional content via streaming web sites for computers with Nvidia compatible devices.

The 3D playback technology has surprises almost every day, where for one reason or another jump boards indicating different applications, experiments and devices that are charged to shoulder the use of graphs in three dimensions, with the weight of software and hardware needed that it implies and spending to make access to them. Nvidia keeps close on this evolution in playing content, and since the early days when they talked about their technology to support stereoscopic 3D graphics today there have been developments both inside and outside the company and its products, and demonstration of its commitment to these changes is that it has released a few hours ago a technology platform to bring playback via streaming 3D content using just a plug in for Microsoft Media Player Platform Framework.

3D Vision aims to put in the hands of developers to combine treatments fine stereo playback with support for 3D glasses and the sharp escalation of streaming content on the web. It is proposed that this permissiveness that the diffusion and release provided by this technology for better tools and expand the possibilities of creating web application developers as well as the sale of devices that support playback. In presenting the same at NAB 2011, the heads of Microsoft agreed to this projection when said that "Microsoft is delighted to work with Nvidia to offer interesting features and capabilities in order to help developers build the new Age of websites powered by Microsoft Media Platform "Of course, such optimism must be tested both in the real usefulness of the technology for web developers and the always ambiguous acceptance.

Is this a decade that all PC users use sunglasses?
The new ability to embed 3D content in the code of web sites and via streaming play encourages a new marketing model that remains to be seen how it operates, especially the sides that create or use Silverlight and conflicts may be with the playback of protected content (although it provided support to address especially those with DRM). But as the images can be viewed on the Nvidia site tests and practical guidelines for implementation that are coming from now, 3D Vision unstoppable seems to be heading to position itself as an undisputed standard. For now have to wait and see what developers come across in the coming weeks.

Kinect controlled helicopter

2011-04-11T21:59:00.000-07:00

And we still have room for one more. We have seen an amazing amount of hacks Kinect in recent months, but until the people of Redmond does not step on the accelerator with determination and release titles that go beyond casual play, the best motion control as found in those projects will continue conducted by universities, engineers and enthusiasts alike. On this occasion, nothing less than a Drone AR Parrot, one of the best quadricopter market, controlled by someone who is "passing plane" with arms outstretched.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have another hack Kinect more to share here. We've seen robots controlled Kinect, Kinect simulated instruments, music videos made with Kinect, capture 3D motion capture, augmented reality, invisible, adult games, multiple interfaces, video ... and the list goes on. What controls the Kinect today is not exactly a robot, but not the first time we see him cross swords with the radio-controlled model aircraft. Last December saw the Kinect had been turned into a kind of radar for quadricopter could adapt its flight path dynamically. Today, there is no radar itself, but the Kinect is associated with a quadricopter, this time as a control.
The vehicle is a Parrot AR Drone, which can be controlled with an iPhone or IPAD, and has a flight range of fifteen minutes. The subject of the video does not believe a bird or under the influence of any substance, but is trying to control the quadricopter with their arms, thanks to Kinect detection capabilities. The project is a work of Zickel Engineering, and was presented in the last Kinnernet 2011. The movements do not seem at all related to the reaction of the Parrot in some points, but appears to be more a matter of training of limitations in the interface.

Anyway, it would be more reasonable than the gestures were simplified. Although we have ever tried to be a plane in our childhood, user resistance to having the arms extended is probably much less than the battery of Parrot. On the other hand, something like this opens the door to an interesting way to play outdoors, with the user trying to pass the quadricopter by an obstacle course, hoops and barriers. And we insist the idea of "outdoor", because almost half a kilo moving up to 18 miles per hour is not good for any head at the scene at the possibility of an impact.

How to escape Armageddon

2011-04-10T19:32:00.000-07:00

As the bullfighter, people for all. And he sure came up short. For example, there Panolis who are so convinced that the world will end in December 2012, and not die, sure to be angry. I hope you be of comfort to know several thousand different predictions about the end of the world and most of the time were wrong. It is important not to lose hope and trust that this may be true.

At this point, explain what the Mayan calendar (the basis of this madness) seems to me excessive cruelty to readers. Suffice it to say they had a cyclical conception of time, unlike ours, which is linear. So your calendars 'just' and start again, but only their calendars. In fact, its demise as a society has no bearing as his way of measuring time. The desk calendars are also finished and no one dies, just so that when the battery runs a mobile does not make people deaf.

In recent times, the discourse about the end of the world has changed. Years ago, the official dogma was to see the movie '2012 'by Roland Emmerich was almost a documentary. Now, when it was doom and gloom most extreme value for money, which is said to be a year of great change 'based on' and 'level' we're going to freak out. But like all bad things last forever, once past the December 21, 2012 have thought no one will recognize the fake Mayan prophecy. Of course, there will have the newspaper to remind his art.

But as we all can make mistakes, you better be prepared. And what better way to get in touch with the American company Escape Earth 2012, a token amount (24.5 dollars, some sad 17 euros) offers the possibility of escaping to a planet similar to Earth and start a new life. Low cost salvation: so that then we complain about the capitalist system.

It's simple. Anyone who wants to be saved buying your ticket and, just before the end of the world in 2012, will climb aboard the USS Ark 2012 to escape a planet similar to Earth but BRAND NEW. The choice can also take your pet (for another 17 euros). Also, if you're a gourmet, you can opt for a stretch and Superluminal rate (44.99 dollars, 31 euros) to enjoy a deluxe room (with flat screen and minibar) and access to public areas of the ship.

Luckily, those responsible for this initiative have everything planned. Thus, the price includes an outer passport (for not going through space in wetback plan) and a guidebook with answers to all questions one can do while preparing his new life. At the moment, according to the email I have sent my partner Angeloti, there are more than hundred people who have gone through box. And it seems that everything is growing.

And I ask, could it be that this was a scam and someone wants to take advantage of the general credulity? Obviously not. The project has all the guarantees. If the end of the world occurs on that date, the company agrees to move to another planet to all customers or to refund the full amount. And for the record that says it well, no fine print so there is no doubt. In other words, ensure that it pays the world survive the end of 2012. That is serious and the rest is nonsense.

A fraud? Impossible! Having paid (check, pay-pal, welcome to transfer ... chrome Coyote) the person receives mail your ticket (well, ship), intergalactic passport rule (non-transferable, for security reasons) and his guidance and pass to the VIP area of the ship if you have hired the service of 'Superluminal'. It can not, say some. Yes, folks, this is what I come by just like you to address.

Facebook open servers

2011-04-09T21:24:00.000-07:00

With the need to serve daily more than 600 million users, it is logical to assume that the infrastructure of Facebook is truly impressive. Servers, data centers, redundancy and cooling systems, everything must be planned and implemented carefully. At the same time, the need to expand capacity leads to higher consumption of energy, but that too has been taken into account. If you want to know how servers are Facebook, and most should not asking you, as well as design specifications have been declared open, under the "Open Compute."

We know very well who are the giants of the Web today, but in general, not much is known about how computer operating level. In the case of Google, we have seen some details on the Googleplex, and also is a known fact that creates its own hardware for their servers, but nothing more. After all, no titan of information and communications technology has a habit of sharing secrets. But in an era where information sharing is the rule rather than the exception, something has decided to show the world how they are made systems that keep it standing. That something is nothing more than Facebook, through the Open Compute project.

This project began just over a year, with a huge goal: Build the infrastructure more efficiently with the least possible cost. At first it seems a contradiction, because the more drastic needs to be a reduction in energy consumption, more investment in time and money often sue. Without emabrgo, the results are obvious to all, literally, and that anyone interested can download the specifications of these servers (hardware are based on Intel or AMD), and CAD designs for each component. Taken into account details at different scales, from the chassis to a server (without screws, can be assembled in minutes) to the configuration to use cooling data center servers.

One of the reasons why Facebook has decided to open these designs is, of course, to receive data and user feedback. And the other reason is so that developers who start a Web-wide project to leverage the work that Facebook has done so far. The numbers are very interesting: In comparison with average server, the Facebook design is 38 percent more efficient, and 24 percent cheaper. From replace internal speakers and LED lights, to virtually eliminate plastic and aesthetic reduce to a minimum, the Open Compute servers unattractive features in the visual, but extraordinary in functional, and much greener than we are accustomed to see.

Dextre robot has already made his early work on the ISS

2011-02-08T20:01:00.000-08:00

After staying for more than two years in space, filing her nails and curling eyelashes, Canadian robot Dextre finally was able to demonstrate some of its potential to assist astronauts on the International Space Station to perform tasks that otherwise should have Hand made themselves.

The Dextre robot (also known as Special Purpose Manipulator Right Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator or) has two "arms" and is part of the Canadarm 2 (the second robotic arm installed on the ISS). It was designed with the aim of doubling the handling capacity and replace an astronaut so-called "spacewalks. "

He was transported to the ISS aboard the shuttle Endeavour (STS-123) conducted in March 2008 and must navigate a series of technical problems to give practical effect to its first test of functionality in December last year.

His first official job was to unpack two fundamental pieces that were part of the equipment delivered by the Japanese ship Kounotori2.

After completing this work, the robot returned to its resting place in the Destiny module.

Google has just introduced the Google Apps Marketplace

2010-03-10T13:47:00.000-08:00

Google has just introduced the Google Apps Marketplace or one of his best ideas in a long time to attract developers to the key asset for companies.

Basically any developer will be able to create an application, upload it to the marketplace, selling to corporate users use Google Apps and Google as its distribution channel in exchange for 20% of the purchase price plus a $ 100 membership:

a) What do developers earn with this? giant distribution channel, tested, and with many established and corporate clients who would not otherwise access
b) Google is winning with this? A new ecosystem in which they put their infrastructure and expect to generate revenue .... beyond advertising
c) What do we win the Google Apps users? Added value to something quite basic and, like it or not, it's just a plugin for MS: Office

Would you expect the criticism? Microsoft expected to speak on the subject ... the design because we are not going to speak;)

Martin Luther King, Jr Dream did came through, all the dreams that we have might come through with faith, thinking positive all the time and hold on to that dreams, hold it on your mind and you will hold it on your hands some day. Like that college diploma, dreams business where you are holding your business card, etc.

Everything is possible for those who believe
Just think about all this business around the world it was a dream before now is reality, like Doctor Luther King Dream I believe it did came through so Iam very happy today that it does not matter what color we are, we all treat each other with respect.

Thanks God! Thank you mr Martin Luther King!

Laser-Induced Magnetism synthetic

2009-12-08T08:00:00.000-08:00

For the first time, physicists have been able to create "synthetic magnetism. This rare condition, which is reached by using laser light, causes the atoms to behave exactly as if they are charged particles within a magnetic field, even though they have no charge and there is no field these characteristics. Far from being a laboratory curiosity, this experiment will provide new ways of studying the nature of some particular states of matter.
There are a number of phenomena, almost always related to the world of subatomic particles and quantum physics that are of interest to physicists. The way they interact with two electrons in two dimensions contained within a magnetic field, for example, is difficult to investigate using conventional materials such as semiconductors. Not only is it difficult to control the many variables involved, but the samples used are defects or irregularities have little help in reaching a reliable result. However, this type of research is important. Not only for basic physics, but for the development of new devices useful for quantum computing and information science. The "synthetic magnetism, induced by the use of laser light, gives scientists a new way of modeling and analyzing quantum systems while maintaining full control of all parameters involved.

"The creation of synthetic magnetic fields for neutral atoms to design experiments that were impossible until now," says Ian Spielman, leader of the research group of the Joint Quantum Institute and the National Fitness Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Spielman is the specialist who wrote the article on this subject which is published in the latest issue of the journal Nature. The scientists used in their experiment a group of atoms of rubidium-87, which were "slowed" by the Zeeman method and then lock them in a magneto-optical trap. These atoms were subjected to further evaporative cooling until a temperature just above absolute zero (only 100 nano-Kelvin). Under conditions of low energy, the atoms form that physicists call a "Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). This is a very strange state of matter in which most of the atoms of a group occupy the same quantum state of energy, behaving as if they were a single "super atom."

"The atoms form a "Bose-Einstein condensate"

Then, we applied a small (and variable) magnetic field perpendicular to the BEC, producing a gradient which atoms affected differently depending on their position along an axis of the magneto-optical trap. Then, two lasers with a wavelength of 801.7 nm (near infrared), oriented at angles of 90 degrees from each other, focused on atoms. As a result of the interaction between the magnetic field and laser beams, it altered the properties of atoms in different ways, depending on their location within the trap. As a result of all this nonsense that only physicists enjoy the atoms located at specific points began to move in a way that Spielman had been predicted earlier this year as you would a charged particle rotating in a magnetic field .

This experiment, says Spielman, "will have a substantial impact on various areas of quantum research, particularly as regards the behavior of electrons confined in different geometries, as in real materials." Who knows, maybe your next computer or sex toy to work through the principles discovered by Spielman.

He was arrested for claim 266 fake iPhones

2009-12-07T12:38:00.000-08:00

This is the story of a passenger who was returning from China to his native Grenada, with a stopover in London and then change trains in Madrid. As happens with so much baggage trasvasije, the suitcase did not follow his master and his arrival at Madrid there was no way to find, so that the passenger pressed a claim to get angry "if the case appeared, she was referred to your destination final, or compensate him.

The thing is that eventually the suitcase appeared. He arrived at Madrid Barajas and sent back to Granada, where before proceeding with its owner did go through the same process through which travelers pass before leaving the airport. The Civil Guard watched the X-ray bag and noticed the presence of dozens of mobile phones, whereupon they proceeded to open it.

There were 266 phones Apple iPhone seemingly authentic. As it is not reaching many mobile and transport it makes sense that this man had had to pay heavy taxes for customs clearance, but the amount aroused the suspicions of the police, who contacted the official distributor of Apple to review the contents of the suitcase. As you probably guessed, were more fake three-dollar bill.

Police went swiftly to the address of the passenger, where we imagine told good news and bad. The good news is that his suitcase had appeared and bad, that he would leave prison for industrial property crime. The possibility exists that the clever but casual importer has lost his bag on purpose, believing that if it were to leave in response to a complaint could skip the revision of the output. Clearly it did not work.

Apple stop supporting Mac OS X Tiger

2009-11-15T10:11:00.000-08:00

Computer users remem Mac Operating System Mac OS X Tiger should be facing a great dilemma after Apple stopped supporting this version of your OS.

Historically the company has maintained support for the two latest versions of their OSes, which in the case relate to Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) and Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), retiring to version 10.4 of Mac OS X (Tiger).

The problem is that current users of Macs based on PowerPC processors can not update their equipment to Snow Leopard (because it only supports Intel processors), so to continue receiving security updates and patches to their computers necessarily should upgrade to Leopard .

This at first glance but it is quite logical in reality is somewhat complex because Apple no longer sells in its stores Leopard, so that interested parties must go to facilities or secondhand stores still remain smaller than their inventory, who have begun to raise its price seeing growing demand in recent weeks.

The Large Hadron Collider is sabotaged by a dove

2009-11-06T04:58:00.000-08:00

Apparently someone continues to wag with the people responsible for operating the Large Hadron Collider which is already more than a year late. This time a piece of bread that fell into the ventilation system caused the system to overheat.

That is, there was a leak of helium, a software error, terrorist or time travelers. It was a piece of bread that was originally part of a baguette and drop it apparently divine dove into the system.

Cooling systems are located to keep the collider operating at a temperature of 1.9 above absolute zero. As soon there is a small increase in temperature the super-conducting magnets stop working and blocking antifallen into operation.

This does not mean that the world will end because of a dove, but the Large Collider will be offline until a few days before its scheduled restart this month.

Peek now taste Twitter

2009-11-04T19:57:00.000-08:00

You might not remember, but the Peek was the product of the year of Wired magazine and a favorite of 2008 at Engadget. Why? Because the only thing this gadget does, or does it very well: send and receive emails.

A new member of the family of peeks already available and what it does is send and receive tweets. Your name: TweeterPeek. So far only available on Amazon at a price of USD $ 199.99 which includes service for life or $ 99 with 6 months of service for Tweeter, and then require a monthly payment of $ 7.95 (coverage only for the U.S. ).

Although the device can not surf the Internet, will send tweets, direct messages, replies and display images hosted on twitpic.com. Some of his most important specifications include a battery life of up to 4 days, color screen of 2.7 × 4 ", QWERTY keyboard and side navigation bar (similar to older models of BlackBerry).

Yo I can not imagine using a gadget like this, only to send tweets, but until not long ago I could not imagine carrying my emails on my phone.

Video: Guitar Hero controlled by futbol balls

2009-10-27T20:58:00.000-07:00

Football and Guitar Hero may be two great passions for some, and put them together would be a dream. How do I accomplish this? Well, basically you need a copy of the game, many balls, giant sensors for buttons and a projector.

"Football Hero" is the experiment we performed a freestyle team of players in England, sponsored by Umbro and playing "Frets on Fire", a Open Source version of the popular game. Actually they do quite well, reaching an accuracy of 76% in pushing the buttons ... impressive considering that are pushing with footballs.

Asteroid hit the atmosphere and cause explosions in Indonesia

2009-10-27T20:40:00.000-07:00

It's 11 o'clock in the morning and suddenly heard an explosion in the sky. A trail of smoke is marked on the blue background of a cloudless day. A bright object falls. Is it a bird? A plane that falls apart? Superman?

Not so. In Indonesia, an asteroid exploded above the atmosphere, causing fear among the inhabitants of Bone in South Sulawesi.

NASA confirmed a report that a meteorite was between 5 and 10 meters in diameter, crashed into the Earth's atmosphere at about 65,000 mph.

The asteroid exploded with a power of 50 kilotons, three times the energy released by the Hiroshima atomic bomb, but as exploded to more than 15 miles high, not damaged, and the piece that survived the impact ended somewhere near the coast (latitude 4.5 South 120 East).

NASA added that such impacts can be expected once between 2 and 12 years on average (though I have lived more than that and do not remember seeing anything like that before). Normally such asteroids do not cause damage, because to effectively impact the Earth, the object should have a diameter of about 25 meters. And if that happens in 2012, at least we'll have Bruce Willis on the planet.

Demand for Linux netbooks does not convince Acer

2009-10-15T12:18:00.000-07:00

The demand for netbooks with Linux would not be enough to maintain a supply of equipment "just Linux," said Jim Wong, global president of Acer's IT products. This would explain why the Aspire One, its first netbook including Linux, will be replaced by a new generation that include Windows 7 and Android.

First, it is not surprising that the inclusion of Windows 7, as in the design of this operating system is considered the hardware restrictions that Vista could not stand and forced Microsoft to extend life of Windows XP. But in the case of Android, a Linux-based system, the explanation is that Wang is included for "connectivity built into the system." One explanation is not very lucky, because in the background is a Linux system and what makes the difference are layers, application level, layers that have nothing to do with connectivity.

Jim Wong also pointed to Internet Explorer as one of the main reasons to install Windows 7 with Android. According to him, people have better productivity and a consistent browsing experience with Internet Explorer. IE is still the dominant browser will not change from night to morning. Probably there will be a single operating system and its netbooks than Windows, but that has to be in the future, not today.

The sale of computers with Windows preinstalled always been a headache for users of Linux, as it is very difficult to get a computer without having to pay a license that in many cases not be used. While there are options to return the license by obtaining the money back, the process can be as complex and fraught with obstacles that the final few complete it. While eliminating all traces of Windows on your Linux system for the statistics of a computer manufacturer is more with Windows.

The asteroid Apophis will not collide with Earth in the year 2036

2009-10-09T15:01:00.000-07:00

Apophis (aka 99942) is an asteroid with an orbit close to Earth and that according to NASA data, pass near the Earth in the year 2036 (estimated before 2029) and a small collision with another asteroid could divert toward our planet, where they produce an effect greater than 40,000 atomic bombs.

The B612 Foundation made estimates of Apophis path to follow by 2036 if the impact were to occur, resulting in a trajectory of risk that is located in the southern part of Russia, across the Pacific, passing along the coasts of California and Mexico, then continue between Nicaragua and Costa Rica continuing through the Caribbean Sea to cross the northern regions of Colombia and Venezuela, ending its journey in the Atlantic before arriving in Africa.

This asteroid is about the size of 2.5 football fields and April 13, 2036 would have a dangerous approach of just 30,000 miles on our planet.

But to our recent calculations tranquility documented by Steve Chesley and Paul Chodas, astronomers specializing in near-Earth objects at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA have drastically reduced the likelihood that Apophis hits, leaving behind the 2.7%.

"Techniques for computer updated and new data indicate that the probability of an encounter with Earth on April 13, 2036 has dropped from an over 45,000 and only four million," Chesley said.

I just hope that by then the head of Bruce Willis and Leonard Nimoy are kept alive in a jar of liquid H2OGfat to resolve any last-minute error hehehehehehe

China: Gorgeous lesbian internet forest collapse

2009-10-09T14:52:00.000-07:00

This is so peculiar that don't even know where to start, but the old saying ... It is more something like a Chinese news agency that published the story in northern Sweden, there is a town of 25,000 inhabitants, although it is not any inhabitant ... are all gorgeous lesbians living in the forests and are loggers.

When you multiply 25,000 Swedish women lesbians, on your head are many results and more of an idea: how to buy a map and take a vacation in Chako Paul, the city of which we speak.

The problem is that with the news, a lot of Chinese - call it dozens or hundreds of millions - jumped on the internet to research interesting tourist destination, in passing collapsing operators of Internet sites in Sweden and tourism entities and government in northern Sweden.

YouTube Reached 1,000 million views a day

2009-10-09T14:44:00.000-07:00

View videos online is a hobby installed on Internet culture, and YouTube today after report proves that is making more than 1,000 million daily views.

"This is a great moment in our short history and we owe everything to you," wrote Chad Hurley, CEO and co-founder of the site's official blog.

Although YouTube already has for some time over the 1.000 million views, the announcement was made today as well because they are 3 years from the acquisition by Google.

"Three years after the acquisition, our platform and our business continues to grow and evolve. We are still committed to the same principles we had at the beginning, " Wrote on the post.

Microsoft confirms Hotmail password theft

2009-10-06T10:11:00.000-07:00

The internet is an unsafe place by nature, and has been demonstrated in different ways. Many sites have been attacked by those who seek to endanger their safety for some reason that may or may not be related to that site. Usually, social networks like Facebook and services like Twitter are often high profile targets for crackers with very few scruples, but this time the service has been infringed Windows Live Hotmail, the Microsoft e-mail. According to the report which confirms the fact, would have stolen the passwords of several thousands of email accounts, in what would be a major phishing attacks has been seen to date.

During the day yesterday emerged in the network the alarming news that the safety of over ten thousand mail accounts Windows Live Hotmail would have been compromised due to a phishing attack. Phishing has different ways to express themselves, but one of the most common is the creation of a replica of the home page of a mail service, through which users try to enter without realizing that this is a fake site. Simply enter the email address, password, and press the button to enter, these data are automatically collected to complete a list that can contain a huge number of addresses "kidnapped" along with their passwords.

At first there was speculation that someone had managed to hack the main portal to Windows Live Mail, but Microsoft has denied this outright. There has been no breach of security at the actual site of Hotmail, which would confirm the theory of phishing campaign against Microsoft's service. While it is within the margin of success by phishers, the situation appears more serious. Apparently only a fraction of the list containing email addresses beginning with the letters a and b. Hotmail has 500 million users, so that a base of ten thousand accounts does not appear to be somewhat too broad, but if the list extends to other letters of the alphabet, we would be talking about over a hundred thousand mail accounts compromised.

Fortunately, this is easy to solve for the average user. You only need to enter your Hotmail account and change the password. Now that has been exposed, the mastermind behind this action should take it more in stride, knowing that many of the stolen passwords will no longer be useful in the coming days. Another extra in the way that can protect users is looking version of the page with enhanced security. In that case, use the HTTPS protocol and the connection is at least somewhat safer. If you visit the Hotmail site, you will see access to the bottom of the box for the password. Get used to using it, there's nothing wrong with that.

Video: Boeing laser weapon developed by hitting the nerve

2009-10-04T16:34:00.000-07:00

The construction of laser weapons by the United States government seems to be increasingly close to becoming a reality. Recall that the government instructed the Boeing company to develop this technology, a program now exceeding twelve years of hard work.

In August this year, a series of tests that were successful, of which only now have released some videos that show the degree of effectiveness of this technology.

In the video we can see how this weapon gives a target located on the bonnet of a van, with an impressive degree of accuracy if we consider that the beam is being sent from a C-130 Hercules.

Originally the development of this technology was intended as a defense system to destroy enemy missiles in flight, but surely after seeing how effective technology in many other applications will be thinking not so defensive.

Sony achieved important advances in wireless power transmission

2009-10-04T16:32:00.000-07:00

Several companies are working on developing the technology that enables wireless transmission of energy, without which so far have certainty when it will be ready to be made available to users.

One of the companies that are more advanced in this matter is Sony, which just introduced a new prototype that manages to convey with 60 Watt of power for a distance of 50 cm, while maintaining an efficiency of 80% continuously.

To achieve this they developed a system based on magnetic resonance imaging, with which it is possible to maintain efficiency in the transfer even when the sender and receiver are aligned (in fact it is not a problem when there are metal objects between the two).

In order to improve the distance obtained with this prototype would be used for energy equipment dealers, which would be achieved by powering equipment on greater distances.

See through walls using wireless signals

2009-10-02T19:03:00.000-07:00

Perhaps you hide your thoughts with an aluminum cap, but you can not hide from wireless networks that can reveal your location, even behind a wall.

Researchers at the University of Utah say that the way ranging signals from a wireless network can reveal the movement of a person behind closed doors. Joey Wilson and Neal Patwari have developed a technique called CT images based on the variance radio waves "that processes the signals to show signs of movement. Even the idea has been tested on a wireless network of 34 nodes using the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless standard, the standard for wireless personal area networks with low rates of data transmission, such as ZigBee.

The basic idea is simple. The signal strength at any point in a network is the sum of all paths of radio waves can take to reach the receiver. Any change in the volume of space through which signals pass, for example, caused by the movement of a person, causes the signal strength varies.

Patwari Wilson and say they were able to locate moving objects in the room less than a meter. The team said that there is great potential for improving its system, increasing accuracy and reducing the number of nodes, especially if the system is used with GPS networks, Wi-Fi or cellular networks.

A major benefit is cost, military systems regulated through walls display can cost up to 100 thousand dollars.

This means that the concept of Vision 3D Sonar Batman: The Dark Knight was not entirely unreasonable.

Amazon will pay $ 150,000 US dollars for deleting a homework

2009-10-02T15:07:00.000-07:00

Remember that Amazon had the bad idea to remotely wipe the books "1984" and "Animal Farm" a lot of Kindles in the United States without permission from the people who had bought (ironically to George Orwell).

Well, a boy named Justin Gawronski had to do homework on "1984" and had his notes listed on the Kindle, along with the book. One day he woke up and bam! Amazon had eaten their work. So Justin could not think of anything better to sue the company.

Before the court could settle the matter, Amazon agreed with lawyers for Justin through which paid USD $ 150,000, and pledged that he will not delete e-books to its customers.

In any case the agreement indicates that some of these USD $ 150,000 will go to charity. The deal must be approved by a U.S. court, but good news for Kindle users (and the kid who pocketed a lot of dollars through their work lost).

Six Apart presents TypePad Motion

2009-10-01T20:57:00.000-07:00

Perhaps some of you remember the Pownce, Twitter that attempt by the creators of Digg, and its uncertain future in the hands of Six Apart. As we now know that the service ended and the use that gave the new owners. The name of the new service is simply TypePad Motion.

Motion is basically TypePad Pownce, but integrated with the rest of the Six Apart and services focused entirely on companies and brands who want to keep their image but also have a web presence, bringing together in one place Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Hulu and others. A major differentiator is that community members can interact by posting notes, photos, audio and video clips, all with microblogging tools we already know.

In fact we are not seeing anything new, but the proposal from Six Apart is offering us an all-in-one, where we do not have to worry about anything else except use it. Of course, all this in exchange for a monthly fee. Prosperity? Do not enter the bulk of the population, but surely companies, actors and singers are the preferred customers of TypePad Motion.

Netbooks to incorporate any version of Windows 7

2009-09-29T09:32:00.000-07:00

The restrictions imposed by Microsoft Netbooks manufacturers would seem to be forgotten with the arrival of Windows 7.

Of course because a company spokesman noted that now the manufacturers of these computers can install any version of Windows 7 on them, without any limitations whatsoever. A measure that will be very well received by manufacturers and by users and seeks to counter the growing use of Linux based Operating Systems and the entry of equipment ARM processors.

While this is an excellent measure which we all applauded, in practice we do not know the impact it will have because you do not know the performance you would have a Netbook, and those that are currently marketed with Windows 7 Ultimate and all its graphic paraphernalia enabled (Aero). Another issue that must be considered is the price they might achieve these computers running versions of Windows 7 whose license necessarily raise its market price, so they may no longer be competitive.

At the end have to be Netbooks manufacturers who must see benefit from this measure, which clearly pointed in the right direction.

Apple feeds the rumors about the iTablet

2009-09-29T09:18:00.000-07:00

Comparison between the iPhone's screen and the iTablet

The rumor that Apple would soon be launching an iTablet follow the agenda, especially now that we know that the company would have re-signed Michael Tchao, one of the developers of what is now considered one of the devices precursors PDAs: the Newton.

Tchao his position in the company will be the President of Product Marketing, depending directly from Phil Schiller, Apple Senior Vice President and who would polish the shoes of Steve Jobs.

But reports about the iTablet not end there, because a site published some of the features that would have this new device:

* It should have a 10.7 inch screen
* Use the same operating system as the current iPhone, as if design
* I would go in two models: With 3G connectivity and without it
* It would be five times higher resolution than the iPhone (there is talk of 720p)
* Released: January 19, 2010

Clearly this team would not enter into competition with the Netbooks, it would be thought of as a multimedia player with communication skills (it may be possible to use it as eBooks)

Cyborg-insects remote control are now a reality

2009-09-27T10:42:00.000-07:00

Some time ago we spoke of DelFly Micro, a "robot" miniature camera and image recognition software, very useful in search and rescue situations but was unlikely to flight stability in real situations (weather, air currents, etc.). So while nanotech takes care of that, creating an army of cyborg insects just one step closer to reality thanks to researchers at the University of California.

The research team led by electrical engineer Hirotaka Sato, recently announced that they have successfully implanted electrodes in a beetle way that allows scientists to control the movements of insect flight.

This system mounted on the dorsal prothorax is nerve stimulators, muscle stimulators, a micro-controller for transmission and reception of radio and a micro-battery.

The DARPA-supported research is part of a broader effort known as the HI-MEMS program, which has been specifically looking for different approaches to the implementation of micro-mechanical systems into insects to control their movements.

A number of research teams are working on this ambitious project by reporting tangible successes. For example, researchers at the University of Michigan have shown the implants in a butterfly flight, but Berkeley scientists seem to have shown an impressive degree of control over the flight of insects, have recently reported that are capable of using an implant for stimulation of nerves in the brain of the beetle to start, stop and control insects in flight.

BIKE yike Say Goodbye to fuel problems, traffic and parking

2009-09-21T17:01:00.000-07:00

BIKE yike not just a bike mostly, if not a revolutionary new electric bike, a new alternative transportation you will love.

Imagine! Will not have to pay more for petrol or public transport will not lose much time in traffic or looking for parking or other problems that come from having a car. All this thanks to yike BIKE that is lightweight, very small and it is best to plant.

This vehicle invented by Ryan Grant and engineer Peter Higgins is expected for 2010 has a 1.2kW electric motor, weighs just 10kg and that is made from carbon fiber and as a folding bike can be stored in an area of 15 × 60 × 60 cm.

This new innovation benefits both the person who acquires it as the environment and that by not using non-polluting fuel as a car does.

The environment is being seriously damaged by ourselves for our excessive consumption of fuel, so it's time we start to act and take measures to assist and benefit the environment and this is an excellent idea.

Mystery of UFOs on Google Solve

2009-09-21T16:48:00.000-07:00

No one in the Googleplex celebrate anything in the future, is not an advertisement for super servers in space or logos designers that went crazy.

The mystery of UFOs on the logos of Google was resolved today when the boys finally Palo Alto deigned to respond to the issue of flying saucers with the emergence of a third object flying in the home page, following those who showed themselves on 5 and 15 September last.

After many wild conjectures, the truth is that this is a tribute to HG Wells, author of "War of the Worlds," was born on September 21, 1866.

"We wanted to celebrate H.G. Wells as an author who drove fantastic thinking about what is possible on this planet and beyond, "said Google in its official blog.

MySpace and Twitter are synchronized with each other

2009-09-21T16:43:00.000-07:00

MySpace in an attempt to modernize itself and not losing users for Facebook, has decided to integrate its services with Twitter updates. In this way all on MySpace status updates can be sent to Twitter and in the same way Twitter updates are sent to MySpace.

This type of features as we have seen between Twitter and Facebook and for me it was a matter of time before MySpace did, in the end it has been but still lacks a long way before he missed.

How to tell your kids that you have a new partner and you're in love

2009-09-04T05:23:00.000-07:00

Who has not felt a tickle in the tummy the day he was to introduce the groom to their parents? Who is not filled with recommendations to his partner the first time I joined out of Saturday with her friends and boyfriends? Years pass and yet show our affections the person we've chosen to share life remains a source of stress. We accept it, they like to adopt it. Now what happens when, over the person you have to cross with our new boyfriend is a child?
Gabriela W. was separated for three long years. Her children were accustomed to this new reality, one might even say that they enjoyed having two houses where they did the impossible to "not suffer the divorce of their parents." So far, a great or at least well-off.
But one day, Gabriela began dating a man, and after five months of being in secret, decided to whitewash the situation with his family. Although he needed time to discuss how to raise it, it was not because her new boyfriend wanted to take that weekend to the beach. Just counted, then, with four days to talk to their kids and her ex, who should be in charge while she was leaving "mini honeymoon".
In desperation, convoked a summit of friends to help her think about how best to raise her new emotional state. Here are some of the advice he received:
- Be sure the relationship you are living is important enough to become public. It is best not to subject the children to the vagaries of love from adults.
- It is your ex finds out for you in your new relationship, and they are not kids who will go with the gossip. It is best to drink coffee and talk alone what he has to talk. Even the way when you're organized.
- At no time your kids have to believe they're asking permission to rebuild your life. You're just sharing the joy of starting over.
- Call to relations with the name that you have. No more "Mommy has a friend." If you're a bride, you have to encourage you to call it that.
- Do not force the relationship of this new person with the rest of your family. The ideal is to be aware of and little neutral ground: the farther from home, the better.
- Be cautious with demonstrations of affection with your new boyfriend. And he is also measured at their shows with your children. Everything has its time.
What other elements must be considered when formalizing a relationship when we have children?

They create computer sodium acetate

2009-09-04T05:14:00.000-07:00

Sodium acetate is a compound that is used for many things. In the food industry is used to accentuate the flavor and preservative. In textiles, to neutralize the sulfuric acid and, last but not least, to make those portable hand warmers. Do you know what? Are these gel packs with a metal disk inside that if you twist causes the solidification of the bag and release heat?

Well, there's an application that until now nobody had thought and is building computers. As I read, Andrew Adamatzky of the University of the West of England made a computer based on sodium acetate.

Sony will join the three-dimensional battle next year

2009-09-04T05:09:00.000-07:00

3D monitors and televisions and there are several, but the mass application of this technology depends on large firms to join that ordinary consumers can buy one of these systems, and this would be possible from next year, as Sony has announced at IFA 2009 that launched the series BRAVIA televisions dimensional.

But that's not all. Sony plans to launch a series of gadgets compatible with three-dimensional display of images, such as Blu-ray, consoles (Did someone say PS3?) And even notebooks. Thereby create a new family of devices capable of providing more complete user experience and distribution channels that reach the main countries of the world.

Disney bought Marvel!

2009-09-01T11:18:00.000-07:00

Become the main news of the day and probably the weeks and months ahead I tell them that The Walt Disney Company has taken control of Marvel, which means that the company achieved growth eared mouse brutal way to a world in which they were unrelated. The purchase, for about 4 billion dollars and reported in the Disney.com site and Marvel.com will allow the Disney Empire (no other way to call it) to completely control the fantastic cartoons company, which means not only be in charge of its publishing arm, but also of its film industry and video game industry, as well as possession of about 5 thousand characters marvelis. Disney respect the agreements previously signed by Marvel and other companies, but sooner or later begin to see some developments regarding the dissemination of company products. Furthermore, the development possibilities are raised to the tenth power considering that Marvel can begin to work with Pixar (another company of the Disney conglomerate) in the development of new film projects.

This is a spectacular and mega purchase actually result in an expansion of Disney's business to areas previously little explored. According to the report, the company of Mickey begin to develop various projects involving those 5 thousand characters acquired in addition to the important dissemination of their television series to be conducted through the cable channel DisneyXD. Moreover Pixar, now Marvel's sister company, you may begin work with the company in developing new projects, which immediately raises the question of visual surprise that we get to see in future and expected new movies superheroes such as X-Men Origins: Magneto, The First Avenger: Captain America and Spider-Man 4. It is said that the same John Lasseter, producer and creative director of Pixar, has already met with executives at Marvel to assess G-employment opportunities and was very happy after their first meetings.

Although Disney has said it will maintain independence in the operation of Marvel, will surely seek to develop new marketing channels that they can achieve important to get a slice of the profits from future films comiquero company, independent of who have previously signed agreements with third companies. Undoubtedly, this is a very important news that will develop and showcase new edges with the passing days.

3. Saying "no" to certain foods is not positive. The best regimen is a balanced diet. Therefore, it is best to eat anything and not banish any food. That yes, here are excluded sweets, industrial bakery ...

4. To get only summer regime is a grave mistake. Many fattened in winter and make their diet only during the summer to look palmetto and not realizing that each year it is harder to shake off those extra pounds. There is a time when the fat cells of our bodies do not disappear at all, only empty but then refilled with increasing speed.

5. You should weigh yourself every day, just do it once a week. Otherwise, one can become obsessed with the scale ...

6. Do not forget the water! It is advisable to drink two liters of water per day, excluding the water we drink during meals.

7. Not to play any sport is also a mistake. With the diet is not enough to stay in shape. So the best thing is to spend even half an hour a day doing some exercise in a gym or at home. You can also start going to work at home walking or climbing the stairs instead of the elevator.

8. Beware of laxatives and diuretics. Abusing them can lead to not absorb certain nutrients that are necessary for our health.

9. Forget about taking pills that suppress the appetite without first talking to your doctor. These drugs must be taken under medical supervision because sometimes you might not be necessary or are contraindicated for us.

10. Eating quickly is harmful to our body. It is best to eat slowly, chewing well, for our body to better assimilate and digest food is made better. Besides most of the plate and enjoy!

11. It is important to all meals and not skip a single one. Otherwise, all you achieve is to accumulate fat to endure long hours without food.

12. Prepare some meals boring and insipid. During the diet we eat (almost) everything so why prepare dishes unattractive? Eating well does not mean eating the same thing, it can be very creative with the diets.

Did you know that stress has a positive side?

2009-08-21T12:23:00.000-07:00

Given the constant changes, the rush, tasks, work, family and active society in which we operate ... this is stressful. It is a belief that such emotional pressure is associated with negative and destructive, affecting health, however, though it seems incrible has its positive side. What is it?

Ink extracted from a 155 million years Squid

2009-08-20T20:06:00.000-07:00

In some rocks of Wiltshire, England, paleontologists have found a fossil of a squid-like mollusk, some 155 million years old, preserved in such a condition that could be extracted even some ink stored in his inside.

The specimen of Belemnotheutis antiquus has been described as "one of the best preserved fossils of the world." Phil Wilby, coauthor of the discovery, explains that everything is due to the so-called "Medusa effect" which occurs when specimens become stone in question of days, before damage to their soft tissues.

The ink sample is being analyzed at Yale University to obtain a more complete chemical analysis. So far the researchers have already used, mixing it with an ammonia solution, to draw a sketch of prehistoric mollusk.
