HTTP:: MTV Casting for Weight Loss Reality Show Freshman 15
--------
Some of us know it as “the office 15,” meaning the extra weight about 45 percent of all women and a smaller number of men gain in the first months after taking up a desk job. Others know it as the “freshman 15,” the same weight-gain, this time registered in college students who, because of a drastic change in lifestyle, pack on the pounds in the first semester or year away from home. For them, MTV is preparing a new reality show. Weight-loss reality shows are not new and, judging by their sheer number, they are also incredibly popular. Motivational or not, they are a constant presence on our small screens, which is why MTV too has thought of jumping on the bandwagon by doing such a reality show that will target the MTV audience, youngsters. Freshmen interested in shedding the weight they’ve gained since moving out of the house and going to college can already apply for a part in the upcoming show. “Casting Notice â€" ‘Freshman 15.’ MTV is casting for a n!

Video games are largely reserved for recreational purposes as many people find them a great way to unwind after a hard day spent at the office or doing other things that weren't that fun. But lately there has been an “invasion” of sorts of fun and addictive video games from which we cannot escape not even at work. Partly responsible for this “epidemic” is PopCap Games, which launched titles like Bejeweled, Peggle or the more recent Plants vs. Zombies, which have severely impacted productivity in a lot of offices where a computer had such titles installed. Another great title from the company was Zuma, which paved the way for the domination of all other casual games developed by PopCap. Now, in a move that will definitely make a lot of “soccer moms” and office workers happy, the company has announced that it will release the first sequel of the game, called Zuma's Revenge!, which will hit the PC and Macintosh platforms on September 15. Coming in both retail and!
digital download formats, the game will be priced at $19.95, which makes it extremely attractive to many casual gamers. “The original Zuma has millions of fans around the world,” said Jason Kapalka, co-founder and Creative Director at PopCap, “so there was a lot of pressure when...

Money is a very important issue in our society. It was so thousands of years ago, and will continue to be thousands of years from now. It gives life, takes lives and destroys them. So, it is one of the most important aspects of our life, and must be treated cautiously. Since computers became available to everyone, more and more programmers began to develop financial programs so that computer users could easily manage how much they spent on a daily basis, how much they could keep for themselves, and also how much the monthly expenses were.

Santa Clara, California-based NVIDIA has announced today that it has received the Windows Hardware Qualification Lab (WHQL) certification for a driver that has been designed to support the DirectCompute technology and Windows 7 operating system. The announcement represents another milestone for the company, which has been actively promoting the performance capabilities of its GPUs in general-purpose computing-enabled applications.

Ever since Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston were both attached to “The Bounty,” rumors started circulating that the attraction they felt was so strong they could hardly keep their hands off each other. Therefore, against their better judgment, they started dating, sources say. Despite denials from all sides, a recent report from Radar Online indicates that the two are, indeed, an item. Butler and Aniston continue to work on the film and to keep up appearances that there’s nothing more between them than just a close working relationship. Still, every once in a while they feel the need for some PDA and run to kiss and talk when they think no one is looking, which means mostly when they’ve wrapped up a scene and the cameras are no longer rolling, an unnamed insider tells Radar. “We saw him give her a little kiss.” a source from the set at the Belmont Park race track parking lot tells Radar. “They were very lovey-dovey. We watched them at one point start to !

FoxyTunes, the music-focused add-on for Firefox, has been adding a great number of features since it was acquired by Yahoo in early 2008. What started out as a way of controlling your media player inside the browser has grown into a full-blown music search and discovery service. The latest version adds another dimension to the music listening, allowing users to share the songs they listen to over a variety of services including Twitter and Last.fm. “A little over two years ago we embarked on a project called TwittyTunes. This addition to FoxyTunes was an experiment in letting people share what they listen to by posting to Twitter,” the announcement on the FoxyTunes blog reads. “Today we’re excited to announce that TwittyTunes is officially a default feature within FoxyTunes!

Microsoft is confirming officially what some users of Windows Live Hotmail Wave 3 have already undoubtedly noticed. The service no longer offers them the option to insert an image into the body of a message. The Redmond company explains that it has disabled the feature due to security concerns. According to the software giant, the addition of digital images into the body of Windows Live Hotmail messages via Internet Explorer led to a security hole associated with photo uploads. Microsoft offers no details as to what the problem is exactly, nor does it specify the versions of Internet Explorer that manage to bring the worst out of Windows Live Hotmail. “Some of you may have noticed that lately, you can no longer add photos directly into the body of a Windows Live Hotmail message the way you used to do.

Pingie: HTTP:: The Evolution of the Appendix

HTTP:: The Evolution of the Appendix
--------
The human appendix, a blind-ended tube connected to the cecum, was believed to be just a useless evolutionary remnant, which served no practical purpose, for a long time. That was until two years ago, when researchers finally managed to discover that the location served as a safe-haven for good bacteria, which repopulated the intestines after a dangerous disease. Now, the same scientists are back, with the first-ever history of the appendix, both in humans and in other species. According to their work, the appendix is a structure that is a lot older than first estimated, and which plays an essential part in ensuring the recovery of the intestines following illnesses. It plays the same role in humans and other animals, and its origins can be traced back to more than 80 million years ago. “Maybe it's time to correct the textbooks. Many biology texts today still refer to the appendix as a 'vestigial organ,'” Duke University Assistant Professor of Surgical Sciences William!
Parker, PhD, explains. He is also the senior author of the new study, which appears in the latest issue of the Journal of Evolutionary Biology. “Darwin simply didn't have access to the information we have.

Taiwanese netbook maker, MSI has officially announced today the launch of its anticipated 12-inch Wind ultraportable system. Unlike the company's first generation of Wind PCs, the new ultraportable has been designed to take advantage of Intel's power-efficient CULV platform, which consequently enabled MSI to equip the laptop with a larger 12-inch display. Performance wise, the system should be somewhere between a 10-inch netbook and a fully fledged laptop, providing users with a bit of both segments.Details of the new ultraportable from MSI have been previously leaked on the Internet, as the computer maker was expected to expand its line of CULV laptops, which also includes the popular X-Slim series, unveiled earlier this year. The new system is part of MSI's Wind series and is designed as an alternative to Atom-powered netbooks, including the company's own 10-inch systems.Performance wise, the new Wind U200 has been featured with a 1.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU3500 processor,!
coupled with the integrated GMA 4500MHD graphics core, available through the GS45 chipset. The 12.1-inch display delivers support for a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and should provide users with a higher-quality visual experience, compared to the more portable Atom-based netbooks.

HTTP:: Rune Factory 2 A Fantasy Harvest Moon Hints LXXV DS
--------
Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon is a role-playing video game that features heavy simulation aspects. It was developed by Neverland and published by Marvelous Interactive and Natsume for Nintendo's hugely successful DS handheld video game console. It was first launched in its native Japan on January 3, 2008, and reached North American shores on November 18, the same year. As of yet, the game hasn't been released in Europe or in other territories.The title focuses on delivering a fantasy farm-simulation experience and is part of the very successful Harvest Moon video game franchise, which has sold extremely well on the Nintendo DS in all of its iterations. Rune Factory 2 is, of course, the sequel to the first Rune Factory, which has gained critical acclaim for the introduction of the basic Harvest Moon recipe into a fantasy setting and letting players explore the open world of the game.The title stays true to the Harvest Moon recipe, as in ten seconds, ten in-game minu!
tes will pass, a trademark of the series. The player can go on to grow crops, but wielding the farm tools can decrease their stamina. The classic mechanic of buying animals has now been replaced by the task of defeating monsters in dungeons, similar to a lot of RPGs present on the Nintendo DS.

With MySpace struggling financially and dragging down parent company News Corp's earnings in the second quarter, it's no surprise that the social network is trying to shake up things in its advertising unit. Jeff Berman, MySpace's head of ad sales for the past three years and a half, is now leaving to “explore other opportunities” and the social network has hired ad and marketing consultancy firm Media Link to handle this side of the business. “Media Link will be focusing on two primary objectives. First, the firm will provide guidance as we reconfigure our ad products to meet the current needs of the marketplace. As a key strategic advisor and partner, they’ll provide us with an external perspective on the larger advertising market as well as insight into what top clients (and those we’re looking to attract) are asking for,” CEO Owen Van Natta told his employees in an internal memo surfaced by MediaMemo’s Peter Kafka. MySpace has decided to get outside h!

The real news is the fact that Wenda Harris Millard, a top ad sales executive with a long history with tech companies and other big names and now president of Media Link, will be taking over the day-to-day sales operations at MySpace.

HTTP:: Photons Can Manipulate Nanocrystal Magnetism
--------
Semiconductors have been the base for modern-day electronics since the first processors appeared, but, for a long time, experts have been trying to make them into structures that not only conduct electricity, but also have their own unique functions. Inspiration for this was drawn from magnets, which, for instance, perform the simple task of sticking to a refrigerator. Similarly, physicists want to be able to make semiconductors act like more than mere conveyors, they want to use them for data recording and electronic control.Up to this point, they have managed to endow the structures with such properties, but only at freezing, extremely-cold temperatures, of up to -260 degrees Celsius (-400 degrees Fahrenheit). At this point, they are learning how to use photons, the small, elementary particles that make up light, to instill these types of behaviors in semiconductors at room temperatures. Experts at the University of Washington (UW) have recently succeeded in finding a way!
to use photons successfully on semiconductor crystals, called nanocrystals or quantum dots.“This provides a completely new approach to microelectronics, if you can use spin instead of charge to process information and use photons to manipulate that process. It opens the door to materials that store in...

Commemorating the Apollo 11 Moon-landing anniversary, NASA Television was granted a prime-time Emmy award for excellence in engineering. Its live broadcast of the historic event brought millions in front of their TV screens, regardless of whether they were from New York, Tokyo, Sidney or London. The landing itself is, arguably, humankind's greatest achievement, and now, 40 years later, NASA is still collecting the benefits of its efforts. The original broadcast took place on July 20th, 1969. “I congratulate the many NASA staffers who are being recognized by the academy with this award for contributions to television engineering excellence. From the first landing of man on the moon in 1969 to today's high definition broadcasts of America's ongoing space exploration initiatives, television has been a powerful communications tool that enables the agency to share its achievements in exploration and discovery with the world,” NASA's Administrator, Charles Boden, says, quote!

HTTP:: Infinity Ward Talks About Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Open Beta
--------
A multiplayer mode is critical for many games out there because it offers players more reasons to keep playing it and, for those who don't have a lot of money to invest, a great dose of entertainment in the long run, after the single player campaign is finished. But it is a tricky thing for developers, as they never know what issues they will encounter or what players will do in order to exploit every glitch and problem that appears. That is why, in recent times, many game companies are conducting open beta stages of the multiplayer mode, both to attract the players and to eliminate all of the problems that they might encounter. One of the upcoming games that will definitely leave a mark on the multiplayer gaming scene will be Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which hits the stores on November for all major platforms. Considering the fact that it will be one of the most highly anticipated titles of the end of the year, you can be sure that the development te!

That is why rumors about an open beta stage of Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer mode appeared in the last few weeks.

HTTP:: People Do Walk in Circles When Lost
--------
As hinted at in books, folklore tales and scary movies, people seem to actually have the tendency of walking in circles when they are lost, or when they do not have any landmarks nearby to guide them on the correct path. The new study was conducted by a team of experts from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, in Tubingen, Germany, who were led by psychologist Jan Souman. The scientist is also the first author of the investigation. Souman's team is experienced in studying perception and action, and it was contacted by the producers of a reality show for the new research. It had received a question from its audience, as to whether it was true people who were lost walked in circles. “We didn't really know, but we thought it was an interesting question,” the scientist says, quoted by ScienceNow. So, a number of experiments was devised, aimed at seeing whether people, indeed, walked in circular patterns rather than straight ahead. Some 15 test participants!
were blindfolded in one experiment, and outfitted with GPS receivers, and then sent to walk in a straight line across a field. Some of them managed to achieve this objective, although they too deviated from their original course considerably. But a number of volunteers walked in circles as small as 20 meters.

Twitter shouldn't be in any hurry to make money. While it's still to earn anything, the company is sitting on a generous amount of funding that should allow it to focus on the other aspects of the business, at least for a while. However, it's feeling the pressure to start generating revenue and cofounder Biz Stone is restating what he already said a couple of months ago: Twitter will start making money this year and one way it's going to do it is with paid business accounts. Stone told Venture Beat that Twitter was on its way to launching business services that should entice most commercial users to pay for the advanced features. One feature that should be very attractive to business users is the ability keep track of detailed analytics, letting businesses know exactly how well or how badly they are doing and where to focus their attention, and which actions generate the best reactions from customers. Twitter's cofounder stresses the fact that the service will continue t!

That would drive off a good part of the commercial users and also put the company in a negative light. What's more, it would sometimes be hard to discern which acc...

Developers aren't very pleased with people who don't respect others in online services, especially in games where a lot of the times players resort to cheating and thus ruin the whole experience for the customers who bought the game and wanted to get a nice and fair experience out of it. As you may know, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was the most recent victim of cheaters and hackers, as they found a few glitches that, when used, made the multiplayer mode almost unplayable. That is why the studio that handled the next title in the Call of Duty franchise, Treyarch, has decided to take some serious action against cheaters and console modders. The Call of Duty: World at War developer issued a message on the official website of the game in which it said that the most recent update for the game would address a lot of issues caused by people who were playing the game on hacked systems and who were “disrupting the online experience for everybody else.” “Treyarch has adop!

Neurodegenerative conditions are, at this point, diseases that cannot be treated, and that progress until they finally claim the lives of their victims. They include such awful disorders as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Huntington's, whose effects on the human brain can, at this point, only be postponed and alleviated, but not prevented or treated. Now, a new type of treatment, relying heavily on the power of stem cells, may offer a ray of hope to people suffering from these diseases. In lab tests, researchers injected stem cells into the brain of animal models. The cells were harvested from the animals' own spinal cords, and only the mesenchymal variety was used. Once inside, the cells proved to be able to identify the damaged neural tissue, move to it, and then started acting locally to repair the damage. While the experts recognize the fact that further studies to test the effects of this treatment are still in order, they are happy to announce that the stem cells manage!
d to halt neural deterioration, and also that they showed signs of trying to revert the affected tissue back to its original function. “By monitoring the motion of these cells, you get information about how viable they are, and how they can benefit the tissue.

HTTP:: How a Cactus Grows Through a Solid Rock
--------
The ability that cacti have, of growing directly through even the most hardened rocks on the desert floor, has amazed people since the earliest days. Their ability to drill into some of the hardest types of soil has left many speechless, and researchers have been hungry to learn how. By focusing their efforts on several species of cacti that inhabit bare rocks, scientists have been able to solve the mystery. Apparently, the plants allow some species of rock-dissolving bacteria to thrive in their roots, in a sort of symbiotic relation. According to the report quoted by the BBC News, cacti not only permit the bacteria to permeate their roots, but they also open up pathways for the microorganisms to move into their seeds, so as to enable future generations to have a fresh start. Amazing pictures available on the Internet show cactus seeds developing in bare rocks, as bacterial agents dissolve all obstacles around. “We were working in the desert, when we observed that many!
individual cacti grew in sheer rocks. They looked good and green in habitats where usually plants do not grow,” Northwestern Center for Biological Research biologist Dr. Yoav Bashan, from Mexico, says. “The only explanation that we could think of [to explain cacti growth] is involvement of microorganisms assisting the plant to...
