HTTP:: Women Would Rather Have Male Bosses Study Shows
--------
A recent study showed that women who embrace a more assertive attitude at the work place â€" the so-called “alpha” women â€" are more likely to earn more than those who come across as simply too good to be true or, oppositely, as neurotic. However, were women to have a choice in the election of their boss, they would most likely choose a man over another woman, another poll reveals, as the Daily Mail informs. Women see men as more able to “steer the ship,” harder and more driven, which makes of them better leaders. Contrastingly, where a female superior is concerned, women simply seem to be able to find more things to criticize and judge, with many of them even believing they could do a better job than their boss, which does not apply when the boss is a he, the findings indicate. Women bosses are more emotional and more likely to make rash decisions, which is yet another minus for them in the eyes of their female employees. The survey was conducted by OnePoll, on!
a batch of 2,000 women either with part- or full-time employment. Two thirds of the respondents said they were happier with having a man in charge at the office because female bosses are more “prone to mood swings.” Other qualities that men bosses have and their counterparts don’t, also accord...

HTTP:: Download Enhanced Dragoman Universal Converter for Mac OS X
--------
Dare to be Creative Ltd. has announced an update to its conversion utility for Mac OS X, Dragoman. The app batch converts image, photo, music, sound and archive files and supports popular image and digital camera file formats. Version 1.7.2 is free for existing users. The software can be acquired for $26.00 (single user license). Dragoman can help when you download music, for example, but can't listen to the tracks on your mp3 player. It can convert the tracks into whatever your player supports. Until now, Dragoman required the user to drag the music file (or whatever conversion was sought) into Dragoman's window, and the app would take it from there. With version 1.7.2, users can convert files faster by dragging them onto Dragoman’s dock icon. As noted above, Dragoman does image files, text formats, as well as archives. For example, if a friend sends you a RAR file, but you need that converted to ZIP, or compressed to 7zip, Dragoman can convert it for you. Popular imag!
e formats are supported, including PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and GIF. Users simply drag the items in, pick a new format, and drag them back out again to complete the process. Using a bar that shows the exact status of your file conversions, Dragoman allows you to keep an eye on its progress. The program can sear...

The Windows Azure Blob features that allow customers to manipulate files as large as 50 GB have been updated. Brad Calder, from Windows Azure Storage, revealed that the new additions to Microsoft’s Cloud operating system went live on August 11, 2009. Testers currently leveraging the Community Technology Preview of Windows Azure are already able to take advantage of the evolution of Windows Azure Blob modifications. However, Windows Azure CTP users should know that the new collection of features is only available via the Windows Azure Storage REST interface. However, Microsoft does plan to continue with the evolution of Windows Azure, by integrating the new features into future release of the Windows Azure SDK and storage client library. “We are releasing a new set of features for Windows Azure Blob. Windows Azure Blob enables applications to store and manipulate large objects and files in the cloud. The blobs (files) can be up to 50GB in size for the CTP. All changes f!

--------
In a groundbreaking new study, published today, in the August 14th issue of the New Journal of Physics, experts from the Physics Department at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology announce that that they are nearing the creation of the first-ever tunable electromagnetic gateway. This device, which, even a year ago, would have seemed a thing of science-fiction, will have the ability to completely block all types of electromagnetic radiations, but will be able to let other “entities” through, as the team puts it. According to the researchers' own words, the new instrument will be a “gateway that can block electromagnetic waves but that allows the passage of other entities, [like a] 'hidden portal' in fiction does.” They believe that it will soon be created, thanks to advancements in the field of transformation optics and metamaterials. The latter are a class of structures that are constructed at the atomic (rather than the usual chemical) level to produc!
e materials with properties beyond those that appear in nature. Additionally, a groundbreaking, amplified scattering effect will be employed to give the gateway extra abilities. This effect will be generated by a specific arrangement of ferrite materials, which, under certain conditions, have the ability to force light and...

--------
At only 19, “Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere knows exactly what she wants from life and how she’s going to get it, at least on a personal level. What she doesn’t know yet though is how she will cope with the media attention once she meets someone special again, the actress having already gone through the experience of a failed relationship, for which failure she mostly considers the media to be responsible, as she says in her latest interview with Company magazine. As fans must know, Hayden and “Heroes” co-star Milo Ventimiglia were an item for almost two years, breaking off the much-mediated romance at the beginning of this year. While speculation has it that the age gap was the one that eventually proved the two that they could not be together, or that Hayden got pregnant and chickened out, the actress herself says it was the media attention that killed off the romance. Being a star has its disadvantages, Hayden says. Because people want to know more of her!
personal life, the intrusion on behalf of the paparazzi is unbelievable. This, in turn, puts a strain on every aspect of her life, including her relationship with a man. “It’s very, very difficult and people have no idea what they do to people’s relationships. They destroy them. The pa...

Softpedia has learned that Snow Leopard Build 10A432 has already been made available to the public via file sharing web sites. Build 10A432 of the software is said to have reached a Golden Master (GM) status this week, with pressing personnel awaiting the order to make the installation discs. Apple hasn’t officially released OS X 10.6 to the public yet, hence build 10A432 is non-approved by the company for consumer use. Needless to point out, the software was only aimed at select developers and people close to the company. If you are not one of these people, acquiring and installing a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is considered illegal. Another point of interest regarding the leakage of Snow Leopard is that pirated Apple software can also come with extra pieces of malware. The last time we heard thousands of Trojans had been downloaded on Macs was when pirated copies of Apple’s iWork and Adobe’s Photoshop had been leaked on torrent sites. Downloadable packages !
of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Build 10A432 may well contain such extras as well. Perhaps the strongest reason not to acquire Build 10A432 this way is Apple’s decision to sell the original software (launching in about two weeks from now) for just $29, as an upgrade from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.

According to a recent report from Gartner, Inc, the worldwide mobile phone sales went down by 6.1 percent during the second quarter of the ongoing year when compared to the same time frame a year ago. However, out of a total of 286.1 million units sold in the quarter, more than 40 million were smartphones, the research firm says, which means that this market segment has seen a year-on-year growth of 27 percent, proving one of the fastest-growing areas in the mobile phone market. “Smartphone sales were strong during the second quarter of 2009, with sales of 40.9 million units in line with Gartner's forecast of 27 per cent year-on-year sales growth for 2009. Given the higher margins, smartphones offer the biggest opportunity for manufacturers. It is the fastest-growing market segment and the most resistant to declining ASPs,” said Carolina Milanesi, research director at Gartner. “For the remainder of 2009, manufacturers must offer products with the features that consu!

The most important change though comes from the bigger and more emphasized search box, in keeping with Google's core business. “You may notice something looks a little different about our masthead (top navigational area on the homepage) today, and that's because we've done a bit of housecleaning.

In this regard, the third Beta of Opera 10.0 comes at just a little under one month since the release of the previous Beta development milestone, which was offered to testers in mid-July 2009. Users looking to start running Opera 10.0 Beta 3 should be aware of the fact that the build is a development snapshot and, as such, it could contain severe known issues, from crashes to data loss bugs. “We have been doing a lot of work on stability since beta 1 and beta 2, which means that this is likely one of our most stable releases ever.

It seems that the newly released high-end Palm Pre is set to periodically send end-user data to Palm, as Joey Hess, a Debian developer, points out. According to him, the data sent to the handset maker includes GPS location, what applications are installed on the device, what apps are used and for how long, and crash logs. For what it's worth, it was somehow expected for the device to send data back to the company, mainly due to the fact that some of these pieces of information might help the company improve its services. Even so, there might be some people who would find this a rather disturbing state of facts, and a possible violation of their privacy, especially since the Pre is reportedly sending all the info back to Palm on a daily basis. And particularly since Palm's Privacy Policy states clearly that the company might also share all the personal data it collects from users with third parties, though only with those affiliated with Palm, PreThinking notes. Here is !
what the phone maker has to say in response to this, as reported by phonescoop: “Palm takes privacy very seriously, and offers users ways to turn data collecting services on and off.

Windows 7 has got a little bump in terms of the maximum limit of random access memory supported by the operating system in comparison to its precursor. If Windows Vista could deal with only 128 GB of RAM, customers will be able to add an additional 64 GB of system memory on computers running Windows 7. That’s right, Windows 7 is capable of playing nice with no less than 192 GB of RAM. But of course that there is a catch. Users will need to run certain editions of the latest Windows client platform from Microsoft in order to be able to feed as much as 192 GB of system memory to the operating system. Do not expect to pass the 4 GB limit with the 32-bit flavors of Windows 7. In this regard, x86 Windows 7 doesn’t differentiate between SKUs. It really doesn’t matter if users run the Home Basic or the Ultimate edition of 32-bit Windows 7, as the maximum supported RAM limit is 4GB. Still, Windows 7 won’t be able to use the entire 4 GB.

HTTP:: Holiday Rush of Games Is Due to Lack of Coordination Michael Pachter Says
--------
As the year is drawing to a close, you can clearly see just how many new video games are lining up to be released at the end of it, right before the winter holiday season. We've already seen many titles be pushed back into 2010 and the trend is still keeping up, and, if we're out of luck, we might see very few new properties in the holiday season, only sequels. This is largely due to the fact that the industry isn't as well-coordinated as the movie one, for example, at least according to Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter, who revealed to Joystiq his thoughts on the rush of titles this winter and how many of them were delayed into 2010. “I think the game industry isn't particularly well-coordinated,” he said. He exemplified his statement by saying that if two movies appeared on the same day, you'd go to one during the first weekend and see the other the next one. “But the game business is different,” he continued, “because you're not going to go out and buy !
three games in one month. ... Well, maybe you will, but the average consumer won't.” The reputed analyst also pointed out the fact that we saw a veritable drought this spring and summer in terms of new games, which didn't happen, for example, last year. Also, video games ...

In what has been a Software Update-full week for Mac users, Apple has released yet another security update for Client and Server versions of its OS X Leopard and Tiger operating systems. Security Update 2009-004 comes a mere week after the 2009-003 Security Update (issued in tandem with Mac OS X 10.5.8), and just one day after the Safari 4.0.3 release, which patched a number of security issues on its own. Posted August 12, 2009, Security Update 2009-004 is a hefty 166MB download available for users of Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11, Mac OS X v10.5.8, and Mac OS X Server v10.5.8. The Mac maker describes the release saying that “Security Update 2009-004 is recommended for all users and improves the security of Mac OS X. Previous security updates have been incorporated into this security update.” On a more detailed note (Support article), Apple reveals that “a logic issue in the handling of dynamic DNS update messages may cause an assertion to be triggered!
. By sending a maliciously crafted update message to the BIND DNS server, a remote attacker may be able to interrupt the BIND service,” Apple warns. “The issue affects servers which are masters for one or more zones, regardless of whether they accept updates.

HTTP:: Tropical Storm Forms on Titan
--------
Last summer, as experts pointed their telescopes towards Saturn's moon Titan, they noticed a peculiar appearance on the surface of the body. It seemed as if a full-scale tropical storm was underway at its equator, in a manner eerily similar to how these formations look like back on Earth. In fact, the entire moon is strange, astronomers say, because the body resembles our planet a lot, yet differs in some key aspects, such as the fact that its natural cycles feature methane instead of oxygen, carbon and water.Recent investigations have revealed that most of the formations we would expect from an environment in deep space are met. For instance, the moon has lakes, clouds and rain, with the sole exception that these are made up of methane and other hydrocarbons, instead of water. The chilling temperatures on Titan, which revolves around its planet and the Sun at a far greater distance than the Earth does, would undoubtedly turn any traces of water on its surface into rock-har!
d ice, LiveScience informs.Before April 2008, when these observations were made, there was no evidence to suggest that methane might be at Titan's equator, although ample evidence of the gas existed elsewhere on the moon.

HTTP:: Company Prepares for Solar Sail Live Test
--------
Shortly after the beginning of manned spaceflights, some engineers considered the possibility of navigating through space propelled solely by the power of solar winds, in very much the same way a ship does so on Earth, using its sails to capture the wind. The first actual tests of such a system date back to the early 2000’s, but attempts since then have largely failed, mostly due to delivery system malfunction. A Japanese one was successfully launched in 2004, but accurate control was not demonstrated. Now, a US company plans to try that again, this time keeping previous lessons in mind. California-based Planetary Society was among the first to attempt to fly a solar sail-driven spacecraft, with its Cosmos-1 craft, launched in 2005. A problem with its Russian rocket, however, caused the mission to fail. When NASA launched its first prototype, named NanoSail-D, it failed because the experimental SpaceX-constructed Falcon 1 rocket did not reach its destination. “In Cosmos!
-1 we had a more conventional spacecraft, but the technology has moved ahead now. You can actually get a higher performance sail with a lower mass spacecraft,” says Planetary Society executive director Louis Friedman, quoted by Space. At this point, it may be that the NanoSail-D is the best option for basing future designs of s...

HTTP:: New Advancements in Quantum Mechanical Devices
--------
Experts from the University of California in Santa Barbara (UCSB) have recently announced that they managed to create a new type of circuit that behaves in a quantum mechanic manner. They say that the innovative device does not have the regular two levels of energy, but that it boasts a full five of them. Details of the remarkable achievement appear in the August 7th issue of the prestigious journal Science. Researchers from the University of Georgia were also involved. The UCSB experts explain that these circuits behave in very much the same way individual atoms do, in that they can shift from one state of energy to another. The way these structures can do so is by exchanging energy packets known as quanta. When they receive or lose quanta, they essentially jump from one energy level to the other. In average computers, the bits â€" the basic unit of calculation - only have two energy states, “on” and “off,” but the new circuits that were devised at the university h!
ave five such layers of energy. “In our previous work, we focused on systems with just two energy levels, 'qubits,' because they are the quantum analog of 'bits,' which have two states, on and off’,” explains the first author of the new study, UCSB graduate student Matthew Neeley.

Hearts of Iron 3 has again dominated my evening, as I try to encircle as many Russian slow infantry divisions as possible in Russia. I have a couple of problems. I invaded in 1940, after taking over Poland, France, enough of Republican Spain to hold a defensive line, Yugoslavia and a very Communist loving Romania. Because I made some stupid calls related to terrain, speed of advance and supply availability, the year was mostly wasted and I did not manage to reach any of the big Soviet towns like Stalingrad or Moscow.Leningrad has fallen but that is more of a moral victory than a strategically significant one. And now, with the weather getting just good enough to again commence operations, I am considering turning my divisions over to the Artificial Intelligence at a theater level to see how it fares against the Russian hordes.More seasoned players might see the idea of letting the AI do all the fighting, with the player just pointing it to objectives and assigning a stance,!

HTTP:: New Progress Made in Self Assembled Monolayer Transistors

Self-assembled monolayer field-effect transistors (SAMFET) are among the latest developments of the relatively new plastic micro-electronics technology. These structures are constructed on organic materials, and also feature electronic components. Creating this type of transistors in a way that is both cost-effective and efficient was a long-pursued goal, which was recently achieved by an international cooperative effort by scientists from the Netherlands, Russia and Austria. The team was able to determine for sure that monolayer coverage and channel length were two of the main factors that triggered the mobility of SAMFET devices, a find that could in the future lead to the creation of far more effective chemical sensors and similar instruments. Details of the find are published in the latest advanced online issue of the respected scientific journal Nature Nanotechnology. Most of the work was conducted at the Philips Research Eindhoven and Eindhoven University of Technolog!
y, in The Netherlands. Philips Research managed to construct a SAMFET in 2008, based on a silicon substrate, which was then immersed into a solution containing liquid crystalline molecules. These molecules self-assembled on the substrate, and the end result was a semi-conductive layer of just a single molecule thick. Experts ...

Drilling up core samples is one of the most potent instruments that science has of analyzing the planet's past in terms of geological changes that took place over the years. In spite of their massive price tags â€" at times reaching several millions of dollars per sample â€" they are still widely used for assessing changes in the Earth's climate over thousands and millions of years, which in turn helps modern experts figure out what the new climate change is all about. But often precious data is lost or compromised by lack of proper storage and freezing equipment, researchers complain.After miles of cylindrical samples are extracted from the ground, they are transported via ship or train from their original location, most often at or around the poles, to specialized research facilities in Europe and the United States. Here, they are kept at temperatures between -20 and -30 degrees Celsius, but geologists say that these levels, which are relatively higher than those in the g!

It’s no longer a secret that magazines are heavily into digitally altering the images they run in their pages, but the extent to which this practice has been taken is truly starting to alarm the public and industry insiders alike. Kelly Clarkson is featured in the current issue of Self magazine and is the latest to have received the instant beauty and slimming “treatment,” much to the outrage of her fans: it’s OK though, Editor-in-Chief Lucy Danziger says in a post on the official Self page, because pics in magazines are not meant to reflect reality either way. The controversy has been raging for about a week now, reaching a climax the other day, as the behind the scene video with the singer was made available online.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will most certainly be one of this year's biggest video games to appear on the market. It drove away plenty of other games into 2010, as they feared that everyone would just focus on Activision's shooter, meaning that the big company has a free hand in regard to more marketing for the upcoming game. That is why a few weeks ago we learned about the creation of a special Modern Warfare 2 controller, as unveiled by the Twitter account of Infinity Ward's community manager and director of communications, Robert Bowling. Now, the deal between Activision and gaming peripheral manufacturer Mad Catz has been confirmed by the two parties. The partnership is seemingly centered on the company creating specially branded controllers and accessories for Modern Warfare 2, in order to further enhance the experience and empty the wallets of gamers around the world. “We are excited to partner with Activision and Infinity Ward to create branded controllers a!

HTTP:: Scarlett Johansson Trained Hard to Fit Widow Lycra Suit
--------
Earlier this year, in March, as Hollywood stunner Scarlett Johansson was still preparing to take on the part of Black Widow in the second “Iron Man” movie, rumors started to circulate about her choosing to lose weight for the role. While this was nothing unheard of, the amount of weight she seemed to have dropped was considered a bit too much, which instantly drew criticism in the media. As it turns out, the star only went on a diet and started to work out because she needed to fit the lycra suit, as CeleBuzz says. Just like other actresses before (the case of Halle Berry for “Catwoman” is the first to come to mind), with the “Iron Man 2” part, Scarlett was put in a position where she could not fit into the body-hugging suit, or, at least, not look as good as she would have wanted in it. Therefore, getting in a better shape became a priority, so the star started training (which she rarely, if ever, did before) and being more careful about what she ate in order !
to look her best for the film. “I kicked some major [expletive]. It was many, many, hours, days, and months of stunt training and strength training. But it’s fun because I had a goal. The goal was the Lycra catsuit.” Scarlett told People in a recent interview, as quoted by CeleBuzz. R...
