This is especially true with the Star Wars franchise, which has seen a lot of video games based on its rich universe. One of the more recent ones has been directly tied to the third episode of the beloved franchise, Revenge of the Sith.The license was given by LucasArts to Ubisoft in order to create a multiplatform game that would be directly tied to the movie and appear on the same day, May 5, 2005.

The PlayStation 3 console hasn't had the best of times in these first years since its release as, although it was one of the most powerful platforms in terms of hardware, its very high price tag, as opposed to its rivals, the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360, swayed off many potential customers. That is why many analysts, journalists and even average gamers wanted the console to receive a price cut, since with the old $400 it just couldn't stand a chance against its competitors on the market, especially in these financially troubled times. But the inevitable happened two days ago as Sony announced not only a new version of its console, the PS3 Slim, which would replace the current-generation PS3, but also the fact that it would enter the market at just $300 in a 120GB version.

The time may never be more appropriate for NASA to start collaborating with partners from the private sector in its endeavors, analysts say. With massive budget restraints planned for the next few years, and with the ongoing demands of Project Constellation, the agency should start thinking of new ways to achieve its objective, and a good way to do this could be to work together with other space firms in the United States. Unlike others before him, NASA's new Administrator, Charles Boden, is firmly in favor of such collaborations, Space reports.

The time may never be more appropriate for NASA to start collaborating with partners from the private sector in its endeavors, analysts say. With massive budget restraints planned for the next few years, and with the ongoing demands of Project Constellation, the agency should start thinking of new ways to achieve its objective, and a good way to do this could be to work together with other space firms in the United States. Unlike others before him, NASA's new Administrator, Charles Boden, is firmly in favor of such collaborations, Space reports. While speaking before a Senate Committee during her July 8th confirmation hearing, NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver emphasized that the commercial and private sectors might surprise everyone with their abilities, if given the chance. She added that, while NASA experts dominated the space-flight industry, those working for private companies were not bad themselves, and that they could bring an important contribution to America!

Additionally, the White House-appointed panel that surveyed NASA activities over the last couple of months recommended recently that the agency saved about $2.5 billion from 2009 to 2014 from its own funding, in order to support private endeavors of creating spacecraft capabl...

HTTP:: Experts Find 150 Million Year Old Squid Ink
--------
While digging for fossils in the small village of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, in the United Kingdom, archaeologists stumbled upon the preserved remains of a squid, estimated to have lived some 150 million years ago. Inside it, much to their amazement, experts discovered ink. The substance was so well maintained, that its finders could eventually dip their pens inside it and use it for writing, the BBC News informs. The amazing site has been excavated almost continuously since Victorian times. Hundreds of excellently preserved fossils were discovered there, some of which still had their soft tissues. This is an extremely rare event for archaeologists, because being trapped in solid rock for millions of years generally tends to strip everything from the bones, and only leaves impressions in the material. The sack of ink belonging to the squid was, for example, found only when archaeologists cracked open a rock. Inside, they found the artifact, measuring about one inch in length,!
perfectly preserved. Because of the relative similarity between this ancient squid and its modern relatives, the researchers were able to use its ink to write its name and draw its diagram on a piece of paper. “We think that these creatures were swimming around during the Jurassic period and were turned to stone soon after death.

The last season of the popular British talent competition Britain’s Got Talent was marred by controversy, especially towards the end, what with main favorite Susan Boyle breaking down and needing medical assistance after the series finale and many other contestants being unable to control their emotions in front of the camera. Because of this, and mostly due to the media backlash that ensued, the producers of the X Factor have decided to include psychological testing as a prerequisite for entering the competition, as The Telegraph can confirm. Although there were always specialized staff present on the set in case of an emergency, past experiences, especially with Susan Boyle’s case, who was clearly not prepared for the kind of exposure she got, have demonstrated that it was not enough.

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. The location is at a remote winter resort called Snowbird Mountain, where players can interact with other characters and complete all of the 50 dating missions included in the main story.

The Nintendo DS has seen quite a few franchises flourish on it and give birth to a very successful and profitable series. An example of such a thing is Disney's Spectrobes franchise, which has seen a huge success with the first iteration when it was launched a few years ago.Realizing just what it had on its hands, the company tasked the Jupiter studio with creating a sequel to it.

Over decades of astronomical observations, experts from around the world have determined that the ratio of small to large stars in the Universe is fixed. They have defined smaller stars as being as large as our Sun or smaller, while larger stars are 20 times or more the mass of the Sun. They have believed that, for every massive star, there had to be about 500 smaller ones, and this ratio was the basis for the theory, and for understanding the mechanisms of stellar production throughout the Cosmos. Now, new data from the NASA Galaxy Evolution Explorer turns this theory on its head. The ultraviolet telescope has managed to determine that, in fact, much more smaller stars are formed than the theory holds, which means that the entire model is erroneous. The differences are quite significant too. In some galaxies, the stellar ratio was determined to be of 2,000 smaller stars for each massive one. The reason why the smaller ones were not observed earlier resided in the fact t!

That is why the company has just announced that a multitude of special editions and new colors will be gracing the PSP handheld console in the near future. Designed for Europe and other PAL territories, two new colors will arrive this November for the PSP, Turquoise Green and Blossom Pink, only for the PSP-3000 models and not for the upcoming PSP Go version. The new devices will be available for purchase on their own but they will also be included in various bundles, as the Turquoise Green one will come with LittleBigPlanet for the PSP.

Sony has made a lot of efforts in terms of marketing its PlayStation Portable console as having something for everyone and being able to deliver a unique experience no matter what kind of gamer you are targeting is not an easy feat. But the fact that the device was available in black and only a few other colors made its users feel less unique. That is why the company has just announced that a multitude of special editions and new colors will be gracing the PSP handheld console in the near future. Designed for Europe and other PAL territories, two new colors will arrive this November for the PSP, Turquoise Green and Blossom Pink, only for the PSP-3000 models and not for the upcoming PSP Go version. The new devices will be available for purchase on their own but they will also be included in various bundles, as the Turquoise Green one will come with LittleBigPlanet for the PSP. Sony also took advantage of the hype regarding the platform during GamesCon and revealed all of !
the bundles that would be making their way onto store shelves in the following months. Here they are, along with the months in which they will arrive and the publishers. · September: Square Enix, Dissidia Final Fantasy with Pearl White PSP · October: EA Sports, FIFA 10 with Piano Black PSP &mi...

Pingie: HTTP:: Ultracapacitors to Boost Hybrid Battery Efficiency
HTTP:: Ultracapacitors to Boost Hybrid Battery Efficiency
--------
At this point, one of the main obstacles preventing the full-scale development and implementation of electric or hybrid vehicles is the prohibitive cost of batteries, as well as their reduced mileage. Potential buyers weigh all these factors in when deciding what type and brand of car to purchase, but experts believe that refining ultracapacitor technology and applying it to batteries could make the choice a lot more simple. Battery packs in electric vehicles could potentially become hundreds or thousands of dollars cheaper than they are today, while also having their sizes cut in half. A new study from scientists at the University of California in Davis hints at the fact that ultracapacitors may, indeed, be one of the possible roads to the future, when it comes to batteries. They also add that vehicles using microhybrids â€" small, electric motors â€" could also benefit from innovation in the field of battery performance and efficacy. Expert Theodore Bohn, from the Argonn!
e National Laboratory's (ANL) Advanced Powertrain Research Facility, believes that recent advancements in capacitor technology have reached a point where the tools can coordinate their interaction with batteries and accurately regulate their power output. Ultracapacitors are far more efficient than batteries at storing pow...

HTTP:: New Silver Treated Materials for Healing Wounds
--------
Silver-treated antibacterial bandages are nothing new in hospitals around the world, but, while the chemical indeed kills most of the pathogens, it also harms certain cells in the patients' skins, which are necessary in order for the healing process to go as fast as possible. This happens on account of the large load of silver that remains in existing bandages, and researchers have been looking for a way to eliminate that for a long time. Now, one has apparently managed to achieve this. University of Wisconsin-Madison (UWM) postdoctoral researcher Ankit Agarwal presented the new idea at the 238th annual meeting of the American Chemical Society on August 19th, in Washington DC. He says that the new material, which is extremely lightweight and contains only 0.4 percent of the amount of silver that can be found on regular, one-inch bandages, has the ability to kill about 99.99 percent of the bacteria it encounters, while leaving the essential fibroblast cells intact.

HTTP:: Tyra Banks Instates National Real Hair Day for September 8
--------
Tyra Banks, no matter how annoying certain media outlets deem her or her show, is a very active booster of the morale of the average woman, often tackling issues such as self-confidence and standardization of the female beauty on her talk show. On this note, the upcoming season of the show will have a very special premiere, with the former model naming September 8 the National Real Hair Day, as EW Popwatch can confirm. What will happen on the first episode of the Tyra Banks show is that both the model and her guests will be rocking their real hair and nothing more, in a bid to show the world that a woman’s beauty does not necessarily lie in her weaves, extensions or the countless hours she spends to get her hair done. This, in turn, will boost women’s confidence in themselves and help them understand that it’s them who make the fake hair look good and not the other way around, Tyra believes. “This season on The Tyra Show we’re taking it to the next level and g!
