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


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



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


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.

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


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


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.
