HTTP:: Fast and Sleek Font Viewer
--------
Finding the best things to integrate into a personal or business-related project is what most of us look for and, if text is involved, then choosing the most appropriate fonts is a must. This task, however, can prove daunting if your library contains hundreds of typefaces. To meet the challenge, you will have to enroll the service of a dedicated viewer that can help you pick out the fonts you consider befitting for the job. Sure enough, the application you're after has to work fast and efficiently, while allowing you an effortless operation. As there are enough such tools for you to select from, it's mainly a matter of personal taste in deciding for a piece of software or another. An interesting and very likely candidate that meets all the requirements for this kind of utility is sFont, a freeware app designed exactly for this purpose: that of assisting you in making the right choice with no fuss and with a little bit of style. The package is lightweight, under 1 MB, and t!
he installation smooth, just like the interface you'll be meeting. The looks score the first points and the works will reveal more benefits for you, all of them preserving the simplicity without cutting out the quality. The main window is divided into two areas, one for the list of typefaces and the other dedicated to the preview. There are also several modules in bot...

The two companies seem determined from now on to match each other’s price cuts as the battle for sales heats up with second place behind Nintendo Wii being the prize for the winner.

Every Linux user that has used the GNOME desktop environment must have had at least an encounter with its default text editor, Gedit. You start it up, and it looks like a simple notepad type application with a toolbar added on top. However, don't let yourself fooled by that simple appearance. If you know how to customize this application, it can be modified to serve almost any text exiting purpose, and you can even create an IDE-like environment.With Gedit, it's not the general appearance that counts, it's all the little details that make a great application. As a programmer, I know that simple things like auto indentation and syntax highlighting can make your job much more easier. Gedit's can do syntax highlighting for quite a large number of programming languages or file formats, over 70 in fact.

Windows 7 was released to manufacturing on July 22, and hit the shelves on October 22, generating obvious questions about what’s next for Microsoft’s proprietary operating system. And the answer is rather simple: Windows 8. This time around, the Redmond-based company made little efforts to hide the moniker associated with the next generation of the Windows client. Not that it could, given that the codename aspect of Windows development efforts is the only transparent aspect of the otherwise translucent communication strategy set in place by Steven Sinofsky, President, Windows and Windows Live Division. Back in early 2007, after Windows Vista shipped to customers worldwide, Microsoft shifted its focus on what was at the time referred to as Windows codename Vienna, and which ended up as Windows 7.

HTTP:: How Terahertz Waves Influence DNA
--------
Terahertz radiation occupies the wavelengths that connect microwaves to infrared and is currently considered to be one of the most promising areas of research out there. Over the past decade, more and more researchers have dedicated their work to this form of radiation, which has the amazing ability of penetrating through just about everything, including inanimate objects such as glass, paper, cloth, walls and other such things. It can also be used to “frisk†a human body from a distance, and to peer inside rooms, which makes it a potent monitoring tool. However, on the downside, the negative effects that terahertz wavelengths may have on the human body are not entirely known. Evidence of how they influence DNA is flimsy at best, and a clear conclusion has yet to be drawn from available research. Those who argue that the radiation is not harmful say that the photons making it up are not energetic enough to break chemical bonds or ionize atoms and molecules, Technology !

HTTP:: The Planet May Have Went Nuclear in the Past
--------
According to a group of researchers, it may be that the earliest forms of life on the planet might have been made possible by the influence of thousands of small, nuclear fission reactors blasting everything around them with radiation. The model would account for the reason why a radioactive substance has all but disappeared from the Earth's crust, and also for how a source of oxygen may have been capable of doing all this, ScienceNow reports. New types of photosynthetic bacteria are generally credited with bringing about the massive amounts of oxygen that flooded the planet's atmosphere around 2.5 to three billion years ago. This oxidation event was crucial for the emergence and development of complicated life, as everything that lives today is heavily reliant on oxygen as a source of energy. Plants and other photosynthetic organisms are different, as they process carbon dioxide and sunlight to obtain oxygen and energy. Canadian researchers Laurence Coogan, a geologist!
, and Jay Cullen, a chemical oceanographer (both with the University of Victoria), believe that the mineral known as uraninite was made to vanish by the earliest concentrations of oxygen. In a paper published in the latest issue of the journal GSA Today, they explain that the volcanically produced mineral was most likely absorbed by the o...

The new idea was proposed by a scientist on October 19, at the annual Geological Society of America meeting. As expected, his idea immediately sparked a heated controversy, LiveScience reports. Most scientists believe that the events may have been caused by an asteroid impacting our planet. The debris kicked in the atmosphere, coupled with the shock waves and the widespread fires that would have ensued, might have killed off many of the Earth's species. Some experts believe that the extinction events were caused by exploding supervolcanoes and massive tremors that suddenly and abruptly reshaped the world's map.

Most people view BitTorrent sites as massive Internet archives of digital entertainment, ranging from movies through music to software. Nevertheless, the structure of torrent search engines often lacks the navigation that a good archive should have. Files24 aims to fill this void.

HTTP:: Woman Ends Up in Burns Unit After Allergic Reaction to Hair Dye
--------
Hair dyes can, at times, cause allergic reactions, even in those cases when one uses the same brand and shade one has been using for years. This is why allergy tests are to be performed 48 hours before applying the dye, to see whether the chemicals in it have a negative impact on the body. In the case of 22-year-old Zoe Vernon, not even the allergy patch had any relevance, as she still ended up in the burns unit at the hospital after using a home hair-dye kit, Sky News reports. Just like many other women around the world, Miss Vernon had been dying her hair for years and she never had such problems. However, since, this time, she had bought a kit she’d never used before, she chose to play it safe and follow the instructions on the box, so she performed the allergy test. She got no adverse reaction, she tells the media, so she naturally moved on with the next step and applied the dye on her hair. The next morning after that, though, she woke up swollen in the face and in!
pain. “It was terrifying; I was so scared because it was really painful. I thought if I stayed at home it would get better on its own but it just kept getting worse. My boyfriend came back from working away and was shocked by my appearance and took me to the walk-in centre.†Vernon says. Nurses at the c...

Cryptic Studios has announced that its recently launched MMO Champions Online now has more than 1 million characters created and running around saving the in-game world. The videogame was published by Atari, which was acquired Cryptic earlier in the year, and offers players a chance to choose their appearance, their superpowers and even their nemesis as they live a life that seems lifted out right from a comic book script, albeit not a very good one.It's interesting to see that Atari and Cryptic have elected to mention the number of in-game characters that have been created in the game rather than actually say how many copies of the MMO have been purchased or how many players are now paying for a subscription.This might indicate that the install base is not very big at the moment but that those who own the game are tempted to try out a variety of character designs, which leads to a higher number of superheroes created in Champions Online. One of the most praised features of!

Over the summer, Google introduced the Real Estate listing to Google Maps and, since then, it has been working on improving the feature. When it was first introduced, it proved somewhat useful, but it was still lacking and couldn't really be seen as a real alternative to real-estate search engines. But Google doesn't do huge product launches very often, rather it gets a feature out the door and then starts building on it until it shapes up to be a complete product. This is the case here too, and Google is now ready to make the feature more visible by adding it as an option in Google Maps under the “More†tab. “First of all, we've made it easier to find real estate listings. Now, you can simply select "Real Estate" from the 'More' button on the top right of any Google Map to discover listings. From there, it's a simple matter to refine your search using the left hand panel â€" price, bedrooms, bathrooms, and so on. Of course, you can still pan the map to search for !

About a month ago Google launched an ambitious project to allow users to comment on every page on the web. With Google Sidewiki, Firefox and Internet Explorer users could view what others had to say about a particular page or subject and they could also make their own annotation. But in order to view the comments or create new ones the Google Toolbar had to be installed. Now Google is coming out with an option for those using other browsers or who don't want the Toolbar, with a dedicated Sidewiki bookmarklet. “Google Sidewiki appears as a browser sidebar, where you can read and write entries along the side of the page. A lot of great Sidewiki entries have since been written throughout the web,†Andrey Adaikin, a Google engineer working on the Sidewiki, wrote. “Until now, Sidewiki was available only through Google Toolbar for Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Opinions about Adam Lambert’s choice for a cover for his debut album, “For Your Entertainment,†continue to be divided. Some critics think the artwork is too ridiculous, which might eventually work against him, while there are also fans who also believe mainstream is not ready for this kind of shock. It’s not known whether this had anything to do with it, but Adam has come out with a cover for the upcoming single and it strikingly contrasting with the first one. According to gossip blogger Perez Hilton, Lambert has officially issued a cover for the first single off the debut album, also named “For Your Entertainment,†this time choosing to tone down his outrageousness, presumably in order to avoid scathing comments of the kind he’s been getting for the first one.

Hailey says she loves Jon deeply, but, sometimes, she just wishes he’d be more mature about the relationship and his attitude towards her. She also insists she will not leave him because she understands most of this is due to his experience in relationships so far (namely, with Kate), for which reason Jon is most grateful.

HTTP:: iTunes Breaks Up with Palm Pre Again
--------
In the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between Apple and Palm, the company developing the iPhone has again disabled the Palm Pre’s ability to sync with iTunes, by releasing the iTunes 9.0.2 software update. Given that the USB Implementers Forum sided with Apple in September over the two companies’ dispute, Palm may stop enabling its smartphones to be recognized in Apple’s iTunes. The latest iTunes update reportedly disables the ability of the Pre to sync with iTunes. According to Precentral.net, iTunes will launch when a Palm Pre is connected via USB. However, iTunes will not recognize or show the device in the sidebar, therefore will not sync any content with the respective device. Apple is sending a clear message here: iTunes sync is reserved for the iPod, iPhone, Mac and Apple TV. The company doesn’t need any headaches with issues arising from other companies’ devices that haven’t been developed with iTunes in mind. As noted above, Palm believed (and probably st!
ill does) that Apple's prevention of syncing with iTunes was unfair. Palm was actually the one that called on the USB Implementers Forum trying to make a change. However, the USB-IF took Apple’s side, noting that the iTunes' method of identifying Apple devices was within the consortium's rules, according to AppleInsi...

The idea of the shoot might as well have been a good one, but whether it was also appropriate is an entirely different matter, media in the US is saying. According to the aforementioned publication, Tyra had the six girls pose in different outfits and makeup that transformed them into different races.

nn As experts begin to probe the issues raised by a potential trip to Mars in more depth, they start realizing that the actual flight itself and the problems related to constructing a proper vehicle to get there and back are only minor, in comparison to other issues. One of the problems is how nearly two years of cosmic travels would affect the crew of a space vehicle. Another one, just recently raised by scientists, relates to the dangers posed by microbes and bacteria that the astronauts may involuntarily take with them to the Red Planet. Cross-contamination issues aside, microorganisms could wreck havoc in a crew, by acting in a double, roundabout manner. First, an infection would considerably weaken the space travelers' immune systems, which would make them more susceptible to outside influences. Secondly, the virulence and growth of microbes is significantly boosted, healthcare experts say. Even minor infections are something to be taken very seriously in space, as t!

In a groundbreaking, new study, experts at NASA assess the influence that the chemistry of developing planets has on the matter, Space reports. “If we're looking for Earth-like planets, it'd be nice to know the chemistry we're after,†University of Arizona in Tucson (UAT) planetary scientist Jade Bond says.

Glioblastoma multiforme is one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer, and one that is deadly in the vast majority of cases. There is a small number of methods to stop its growth at this point, and even fewer that actually have an effect, no matter how small. Now, experts propose that combining regular chemotherapy with the use of electrical fields around neurons may be one possible way of slowing the progression of this terrible disease. Israel-based NovoCure has already created a device that can generate electrical fields in a manner that can disrupt the evolution of cancer. Technology Review reports that the early results the device had on the trial subjects were very promising. NovoCure is just a fresh start-up, having been founded no earlier than 2000. However, in just less than a decade, it managed to develop a groundbreaking, new system of addressing the threats and perils of glioblastoma multiforme. According to the test results of the ten patients that initi!

The Jewel Box star cluster, also known as NGC 4755 or the Kappa Crucis Cluster, is one of the finest open star clusters discovered thus far in the Universe. It lies in the southern-hemisphere constellation of Crux, and it's located some 6,400 light-years away from Earth. The formation is one of the most important discovered by astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille, who saw it during his trips to South Africa, between 1751 and 1752. Now, with the help of three of the world's most renowned telescopes, the Jewel Box gets a new picture, one of the most detailed to date. Famous English astronomer John Herschel gave it the name of Jewel Box in the 1830s. The cluster is just bright enough to be seen with the unaided eye during a clear night. One reason for its name is the contrast that is visible between its pale blue and orange stars, as seen through astronomical telescopes. These colors reminded Herschel of some exotic jewelry that he had seen at some point. Structures such as !

This week, Rockstar and 2K Games are hitting gamers with a double blow of GTA IV content. Those who have picked up The Lost & Damned downloadable pack can now get, also via Xbox Live, a new add on, called The Ballad of Gay Tony. And those who have not been interested in exploring alternative stories for GTA can now pick up a disk-based release called Episodes from Liberty City, which combines the two stories mentioned above. And it seems that the new releases might actually be the last Rockstar will offer set in the New York-like landscape of Liberty City.A poster, attached to this article, can be seen in the manual for the game that has just been outed. It reads “Liberty City? It's over!†and “Next stop,†also mentioning March as the possible release date for some new content that is in no way related to the city featured so prominently in GTA IV.It's not clear whether Rockstar is telling fans of the Grand Theft Auto series that it plans to actually move the ac!

This week, Rockstar and 2K Games are hitting gamers with a double blow of GTA IV content. Those who have picked up The Lost & Damned downloadable pack can now get, also via Xbox Live, a new add on, called The Ballad of Gay Tony. And those who have not been interested in exploring alternative stories for GTA can now pick up a disk-based release called Episodes from Liberty City, which combines the two stories mentioned above. And it seems that the new releases might actually be the last Rockstar will offer set in the New York-like landscape of Liberty City.A poster, attached to this article, can be seen in the manual for the game that has just been outed. It reads “Liberty City? It's over!†and “Next stop,†also mentioning March as the possible release date for some new content that is in no way related to the city featured so prominently in GTA IV.It's not clear whether Rockstar is telling fans of the Grand Theft Auto series that it plans to actually move the ac!

HTTP:: World of Warcraft Tackles the PUG
--------
Over 11 million people pay the monthly fee to play World of Warcraft but almost all of them have something to complain about the game. From the classic problem of balancing the classes, to server issues and unsatisfactory comments regarding how Blizzard bosses run their business, every hardcore WoW fan hates the game and the company that made it. When Blizzard showed little interest in their attitude, which is perfectly normal since even if they complain they keep on playing, WoW fans decided to fight amongst themselves. Few chat windows in even fewer games have seen the slang “noob†as many times as the chat window of World of Warcraft. The main concern of these “leet†players who find everyone else unworthy of their gaze is the “PUG†gameplay. PUG stands for pick-up groups, and it basically means going on a dungeon raid with people you've never interacted with before. Dungeons need a minimum number of players in a party before it becomes available, so no mat!
ter how good you think you are you still need players to join you. Blizzard has decided to try and improve the PUGs and a major update is being prepared for the groping system of Looking for Group. The matchmaking system implemented comes to simplify things as much as possible and bring an overall improvement to the dungeon ...

HTTP:: Cheryl Cole s Plans for Underground Pool Thwarted by Council
--------
She might not strike anyone as too shy a girl, but Cheryl Cole of the Girls Aloud and, most recently, of solo fame, is very private about her personal life. In fact, she is so private, she even wanted an underground pool built at her and husband Ashley Cole’s Surrey mansion, so that no prying eyes could catch them in their “intimate moments,†as she put it in the documents for approval, the BBC informs. Unfortunately for Cheryl and Ashley, the request has just recently been turned down by the Guildford Borough Council on the grounds that the proposed modifications would be disproportionate in relation to the rest of the house, while also damaging to the Green Belt. The two stars have already appealed the initial decision, saying they should be the exception to the rule. It, too, was duly dismissed. “The proposed swimming pool level would result in a disproportionate addition to the house, and would be unacceptable.†planning officer Tara Taylor tells the British !
media as regards the changes proposed. This would have included, according to reports, a 12x5-meter pool below ground level, a spa and gym, a sauna, a pool bar, a lavatory and a plant room.
