As many of you know, I tracked closely the evolution of Windows 7 since the earliest development milestones and until the RTM build. And now that Windows 7 has been released to manufacturing, it was clear to me that all the work done covering the operating system since 2008 deserved a “one article to rule them all.” Drum roll... Just one piece of advice, prepare to scroll, because you will need to. What will you be able to see? Well, all major development milestones of Windows 7. In this regard, there are three stages in the evolution of the latest iteration of the Windows client, the Milestone releases, Beta and post-Beta, and Release Candidate ending with the RTM. In all fairness, the Windows 7 journey started after Windows Vista shipped, but the public only got a small taste in early 2008. At that time, the first builds were kept under a tight lid, and the little details that made it into the wild revealed an operating system not that distinct from its precursor Wi!
ndows Vista. In fact, this was the primary argument critics used to call “fake” on all the leaked details of the early stages of Windows 7, that it was too much Vista for its own good, and certainly too much to be Windows 7. They were of course proved wrong. In less than three years since the general availability of Windows XP...

HTTP:: Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot
--------
Lindsay Lohan recently dyed her hair a bright shade of blonde, telling reporters as she emerged from the hair salon after 11 hours in the chair that it was for a movie part. The film in question might be a remake after the classic Marilyn Monroe flick “Some Like It Hot,” a part that Lohan is dying to land, SFGate: Daily Dish says. As fans must know, Lindsay Lohan’s so-called obsession with Marilyn Monroe goes back in time, the actress herself admitting to looking up to the screen siren both for her work and for the way she built her temptress image in the media. Moreover, Lohan has also posed for a couple of Monroe-inspired photospreads, the most famous one being perhaps that featured in New York magazine, where there wasn’t anything else than some well-placed veils to cover her modesty. Now, Lindsay is looking to take her adoration for Marilyn one step further by playing the part she also played in “Some Like It Hot.” A remake of the classic film is reported!
ly in the works, and Lohan is doing her best to land the leading role, sources close to the actress tell the media. “Sources close to Lohan claims [sic.] she sees real parallels between her life and that of the Monroe and is pitching a remake to Hollywood bosses.

HTTP:: Michael Jackson Family Photos with Omer Bhatti Emerge
--------
It’s been only a couple of days that Joe Jackson went on television and confirmed that Omer Bhatti was Michael Jackson’s secret son and family photos showing the two have already begun to emerge. Most of them were taken on special occasions such as Christmas and on birthdays, and they clearly seem to show, according to The Sun, that Bhatti might have been related to the late King of Pop. The family album just made public (which you can see here) includes photos that clearly indicate that Bhatti was considered a member of the family. One such pic shows Michael sitting with Prince, back then just a toddler, bouncing on his knee, while Omer is standing behind the singer, with one hand lovingly placed on his shoulder, the aforementioned publication says. Others show Omer with the Jackson children, acting around them as if he was their real brother. Speculation about Bhatti being Michael’s secret lovechild, presumably the product of a one-night encounter with a fan, fir!

Planetary scientists have known for a long time that several billion tons of water disappear from Earth's atmosphere each year, as if by magic. However, despite having this knowledge, explaining why this happens has turned out to be a very tricky question. Now, Technical University of Denmark (DTU) National Space Institute experts believe they may have found the answer. The most severe loss occurs during the cosmic-ray minimum, they say, when clouds over the ocean lose up to seven percent of their water mass in less than a week, AlphaGalileo informs. “The Sun makes fantastic natural experiments that allow us to test our ideas about its effects on the climate,” Professor Henrik Svensmark explains. He is the lead author of a new study detailing the finds, published in the latest issue of the scientific journal Geophysical Research Letters. He argues that the loss is prompted by reduced amounts of small aerosols, which occur when solar explosions interfere with the cosmi!
c rays that permeate the Universe. Generated by stellar explosions, these cosmic rays travel at nearly the speed of light, and hit everything in their path with tremendous energies.

Pingie: HTTP:: Scientists Manage to Split Electrons in New Particles

HTTP:: Scientists Manage to Split Electrons in New Particles
--------
Experts from the Universities of Cambridge and Birmingham recently discovered that electrons could, indeed, be split into further divisions, in spite of established knowledge. In their experiments, the scientists showed that electrons crowded into narrow wires actually split into particles known as spinons and holons. The find could have far-reaching consequences, seeing how electrons are the particles responsible for carrying electricity and for generating magnetism. The major find that the UK research team made was that electrons did not exhibit the same properties in groups that they showed when they were studied alone. They have to avoid getting too close to each other, as they all have the same charge. As a result, when crammed together in very narrow wires, they need to modify their trajectories to accomplish this objective. In their natural states, inside metals or other chemicals, there is no need for electrons to engage in this behavior, but it's unavoidable when t!
hey are artificially packed together. The split of electrons under such conditions has been theorized since 1981, by physicist Duncan Haldane. He argued that, when electrons would be stuck inside a narrow wire, and subjected to very low temperatures, they would need to change their properties and se...

HTTP:: Stromatolites Were Formed by Microbes 3 45 Billion Years Ago
--------
According to a new scientific study, the layered, rock-like structures called stromatolites that can be found in shallow waters, were created by microbial colonies more than 3.45 billion years ago. The investigation revealed that the dark bands of organic layers that could be found in the rocky structures were, in fact, made up of fossilized microbe colonies, hardened with the passing of geological time. The microorganisms were found in stromatolites located in the Strelley Pool formation in Western Australia. Investigators from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the NASA-operated Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) say that the new find, combined with existing data, hints that the microbes began to build their colonies â€" and the stromatolites, implicitly â€" less than a billion years after the planet formed, more than 4.5 billion years ago. Geologists and other scientists have been arguing about how stromatolites formed for years, and this study is the fir!

This is the most convincing evidence to come out to date,” JPL geobiologist Abigail Allwood explains. The expert has also been the lead author of a new study accompanying t...

This is one of those instances in which the word “car” is being used in its loosest form. The only connections between the Bloodhound SSC and your average minivan is that they both have four wheels and a body. But the similarities stop here, and the differences begin. Built specifically to beat the existing land speed record, the UK machine is in fact nothing more than a rocket bolted to a Eurofighter-Typhoon jet engine, which employs aerobrakes, parachutes and carbon brakes to help it stop. The BBC News takes us behind the scenes with Royal Air Force fighter pilot Andy Green. The mechanical monster is designed to reach no less than 1,000 miles per hour (1,609 kilometers/hour), using a jet engine that is pretty remarkable in size. In addition to breaking the existing record by a large difference, the Bloodhound is also meant to incite some more interest in science and technology on part of the British people. “If we want to live in a high technology low-carbon world !
in the near future, then someone is going to have to build it for us, and that someone needs to be inspired now,” Green said. He also added recently that the construction phase of the machine was going very well, but that the team was at the moment still trying to decide between using symmetrical or asymmetr...

HTTP:: New Way to Separate and Purify Molecules Devised
--------
Experts from the University of Minnesota (UM) announce in the July 31st issue of the respected journal Science that they managed to develop a new method to create high-performance membranes out of crystal sieves called zeolites. They argue that the innovation could lead to significant advancements in the understanding of chemical reactions â€" the basis of our industry â€" and could also trigger improvements in the energy efficiency of chemical separations of up to 50 times over. Especially prone to the influence of the new find is the process of distillation. This process is one of the most widely used around the world, and has applications in obtaining a large number of end-products. But, while it's very simple to design and implement, it takes a lot of resources to operate, which essentially translates into higher costs for whatever is produced employing it. For decades, one of the greatest problems in the industry has been removing structural defects in zeolite membran!
es. These defects severely limit their performances. In the new method, developed in the lab of UM chemical engineer Michael Tsapatsis, rapid heating treatments are applied to the zeolite, which remove its imperfections with great efficiency. “Using membranes rather than energy-intensive processes such as distillation ...

The Gears of War franchise of video games has gathered a huge number of fans all around the world. Even though the two titles didn't have some of the most original stories in the gaming medium, they still managed to get a cult-like following, which is why Epic Games has contracted director Len Wiseman, who worked on Live Free or Die Hard, and writer Chris Morgan, who collaborated on Wanted, to make a movie based on the games. We've already heard about the fact that former wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson might not play lead character Marcus Fenix, but it seems that Wiseman already has someone in mind for the part of Maria, the wife of Dominic Santiago, Marcus' best friend. Apparently he is definitely thinking about casting his own real-life wife in that role: “If I can convince Kate Beckinsale â€" and I think I have a shot â€" I'd love to see that.” But besides news about the casting, the plot of the movie was also revealed, and it seems that it will cover the e!

Video games can tackle a wide range of genres, from shooters, in either first- or third-person view, to intricate, role-playing or racing titles. But, sometimes, in an effort to find innovation and to “break” the market, some developers try more unorthodox approaches. Such is the case with Guillemot Inc., which is responsible for the dating simulator Sprung. The title, which was published by Ubisoft, appeared on December 8, 2004 in North America and reached European shores on March 11, the next year. The purpose of the game is to meet up, flirt and eventually hook up with other people, depending on one's genre.

Pingie: HTTP:: Venus Bright Spot Puzzles Astronomers

HTTP:: Venus Bright Spot Puzzles Astronomers
--------
On July 19th, while looking through his amateur telescope at Venus, astronomer Frank Melillo, from Holtsville, NY, caught sight of what appeared to be a bright spot on the surface of the planet. The bright phenomenon suddenly appeared in the atmospheric clouds, and its origin left scientists completely in the dark. Expert Sanjay Limaye, a planetary scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says that this is not the first time the unusual phenomenon has been noticed on our neighbor, but that the source is still a mystery. After the amateur astronomer discovered the bright spot, the find was confirmed by other members of the community, as well as by the Venus Express spacecraft, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA). Limaye said in an e-mail for Space that its appearance was gaining so much attention precisely because it had occurred just days after Jupiter developed a new dark spot of its own, most likely due to a comet hitting it. The gas giant now sports a d!
arkened scar the size of the Pacific Ocean. Venus Express measurements of the region determined that the spot actually grew on Venus four days before Melillo saw it, and that it since spread throughout the thick atmosphere, via strong air movements. At this point, there are several theories as to why the spot appeared. Some astronomers believe...

Pingie: HTTP:: Perma Tan Is a Symbol of Wealth and Health

HTTP:: Perma Tan Is a Symbol of Wealth and Health
--------
If one thinks back to a few centuries ago, women had to be the palest and sickliest shade of white in order to be socially accepted and, thus, they did the strangest things to make sure a single ray of sun did not touch them. Today, being tanned for as long as possible, preferably throughout the entire year, is a must-have condition for any woman or girl who dreams of being fashionable, because a perma-tan often sends messages of health, wealth and beauty the unbronzed skin doesn’t, psychologist Dr. Colin Gill says for the Daily Mail. Long ago, being tanned meant social exclusion, because the bronzed glow was usually associated with workers toiling away in the fields. Oppositely, members of the upper classes were all ghostly white, because they made sure their fair skin was never touched by the sun, while also using deadly, lead-based cosmetics to maintain their paleness. In true “how things change” fashion, that was the exact opposite of what is happening today, Gi!
ll says, with those perceived as part of the upper classes being of various shades of orange. Consequently, average women (since it’s mostly them who are affected by the tanning frenzy), instantly make this mental association between a tan and wealth. It’s no wonder then that, because of all the celebrities out the...

Pingie: HTTP:: Alarm Clock for Working Out My Workout Wake Up Call Alarm Clock

HTTP:: Alarm Clock for Working Out My Workout Wake Up Call Alarm Clock
--------
Health experts usually recommend working out in the morning or during the course of the day, and never at night before bedtime. Of the many time intervals we can choose for a little exercise, working out right after waking up is usually the ideal from more than one point of view. To help us with this, we now have My Workout Wake Up Call Alarm Clock, a regular alarm clock that blasts out motivational speeches. Clearly, the idea of motivational messages is not new, no matter how disputed its efficiency is in the specialized media. However, what this product offers as a pleasant, fun way of waking up is having the alarm sound off and then be properly motivated by a trainer, as opposed to waking up to the sound of the weather forecast or some pop song we don’t even like. For $40, manufacturers say, anyone can start with their physical routine first thing in the morning. “Good morning! This is your workout wake up call! It is a beautiful morning to wake up and workout! Y!
ou know how great you are going to feel?! What a wonderful way to start today! Take a moment to wake up your body, while you are still in your bed. Please lie flat on your back and hug your knees into your chest. Please inhale deeply for three counts... and exhale for three counts. While you are there, imagine h...
