HTTP:: How to Set Up Yahoo Messenger 10 Beta for Video Calls
--------
With the new Yahoo Messenger 10 Beta out, users were curious to try it, especially the new video-chat feature. Still, some users encountered problems when trying to use the new feature, so Yahoo put together a small guide to answer some of the most common complaints and issues. If you have the latest beta version, you are good to go, otherwise you can go ahead and download it from below. Now, with Yahoo Messenger 10 Beta installed, you need to make sure that your computer is up for the task of streaming and receiving video and audio in real time. According to Yahoo, the minimum requirements are Windows XP for the operating system, a CPU running at 1Ghz or more and at least 512 MB of RAM. The Internet connection also has to be able to handle the communications, so a broadband connection of at least 300 Kbps download and 128 Kbps upload speed is required. If you meet the minimum requirements and have your webcam properly installed (you can check out Yahoo's webcam detecti!

Then go to “Video & Voice Devices†and click on “Open...

Santa Clara, California-based Intel Corp. has just raised its Q3 revenue forecast above Wall Street's expectation, claiming that the demand for its processors was stronger than expected. According to the world's leading vendor of computer processors, the revenue for the third quarter of this year should be of US$9 billion, with a margin of plus or minus US$200 million. The newly announced figures are above the company's previous forecast of US$8.5 billion and a margin of plus or minus US$400 million.In addition, the company has announced that the gross margin for the third quarter is expected to be in the upper half of the company's previously announced range of 53 percent, plus or minus two percentage points. Intel already said, back in July, that its chip business was doing better, following a difficult downturn, the worst since 2001 for the PC industry.The implications of Intel's announcement on the overall PC market are yet to be determined, but it's clear that there is!

Kim Kardashian, the daughter of the late attorney that initially got O.J. Simpson free of murder charges, socialite and budding designer, is branching out.

HTTP:: DNA Mutation Rates Finally Uncovered
--------
Each time a new child is born, they carry some of the genetic material from their mother and father, in equal proportions. In addition to this legacy, they also carry between 100 and 200 genetic mutations, which their parents do not have. Some of these mutations are caused by environmental factors, and represent adaptations, while others are copying errors, and represent nothing more than glitches, which can have potentially fatal consequences. The new numbers were collected by researchers after analyzing the mutations undergone by the Y chromosome when passed from mothers to babies. The experts in charge of this study, from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, in Hinxton, the United Kingdom, and other research institutes in China, have determined that this number is universal in all human newborns. The team says that the number is equivalent to approximately one base pair of DNA in 30 million mutating, which is conclusive with results discovered in animal studies, and !
also in research related to investigating the chances of rare, genetically transmitted disorders, Nature News reports. For the new investigation, about ten million base pairs of DNA were tested, belonging to two men from rural China, which had a common ancestor that lived more than 200 years ago.

Macnn is reporting that an angry Apple customer and buyer of an iPhone has filed a lawsuit against Apple and the leading US mobile carrier (AT&T) over misleading statements surrounding claims of MMS support for the respective device. When Apple introduced iPhone OS 3.0, the company touted the piece of software as being packed with several key enhancements, including cut, copy and paste, as well as MMS (multimedia messaging service). Apple, however, failed to explicitly mention that the feature would be blocked until late summer 2009, when AT&T would supposedly launch the service for iPhone 3G and 3GS users. The service is still unavailable, by the way. Therefore, the dissatisfied Deborah Carr filed a lawsuit against the two companies on Wednesday, “referencing various Apple and AT&T support documents that discuss MMS messaging,†the Macnn report reveals.

As those who’ve read Stephenie Meyer’s books must know, they are centuries-old vampires who act as rulers (“royalty,†they’re called at one point) over all vampires, making sure their secret does not get out and eliminating all those who might draw too much unwanted attention to their kind.

Historians knew that the Romans maintained a strong presence in what is now Germany during the peak of their empire, but a new find seems to prove that their level of establishment in the region was a lot higher than first though. At the bottom of a well in the renowned archaeological site Waldgirmes â€" an ancient Roman town â€" diggers discovered a statue fragment depicting a full-size horse head, adorned with gold leafs. Such a luxurious object could have only belonged to a man of great importance for the Empire, historians believe. Their hypothesis was immediately confirmed, when further investigations uncovered another part of the statue, featuring the foot of a Roman senator, judging by its sandals. Experts say that the horse head, which is cast in heavy bronze and weighs about 25 kilograms, was most likely a part of a mount for this famous man, as it is known that most Roman statues depicting leaders were immortalized on top of their respective horses.

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. This new project was finalized with Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals, which was released on October 7, 2008 in North America, while Japan received it on December 11, the same year, and Europeans on February 27, 2009.The game boasts some major improvements over the first title, while continuing the story of Rallen and Jeena, two space officers who have saved their native Nanairo system from the evil Krawls.

--------
A new business partnership between Siemens IT Solutions and Services, in the Netherlands, and id Quantique, from Geneva, Switzerland, promises to bring the goal of accessible quantum cryptography one step closer to general use by the masses, officials from the two companies have announced recently, according to Technology Review. In this communication method, light particles called photons are used to scramble transmission data, in a way that requires vast amounts of computer power and a lot of time to break and decipher. In spite of the fact that the new technology has been available worldwide for a few years now, only a select few have thus far been able to afford it. We are talking here about governments and large corporations, which are the only entities with sufficient money to design and construct the point-to-point optical cable networks that quantum cryptography requires to work. The new partnership is designed to provide even individuals and small companies with !
state-of-the-art security for their data, in a new package that includes the devices and cables needed. Explaining the principles on which this type of technology works is fairly complicated.

After the new X-based graphical boot splash introduced a couple of days ago, Canonical unveiled today what it was only a mockup a few months ago, the Ubuntu Software Store (previously known as Ubuntu AppCenter), a piece of software that would unify all the existing package managers in the Ubuntu operating system. At the moment, the Ubuntu Software Store is not installed by default in the current development release of the upcoming Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) distribution, but it can be easily installed by searching "software-store" in Synaptic. The goal of the new Ubuntu Software Store application is to replace many system-administration programs, such as Synaptic Package Manager, Add/Remove, GDebi, Computer Janitor and even the popular Update Manager tool, in order to offer to both the new and experienced Ubuntu users an easier and more intuitive way to search, install, update or remove applications. However, even if the Ubuntu Software Store will be available in Ubuntu 9!

The human body is, indeed, one of the most mysterious and best put together constructs in the world, but its amazing complexity and functions must not lead people to believe that it is the work of a higher power.

In this line of reasoning, the mitochondria occupied the first position. Now, new studies show that its seemingly irreducible complexity is actually reducible. The human cell is an amazing machine. Complex processes take place inside several times per second, and it's easy to see why someone would find it very easy to say that these structures couldn't have possibly appeared naturally.

There are literally hundreds of dog species around the world, and most of them can be easily recognized by their unique hairdos, featuring various types of curls, thicknesses, and other such elements. For a long time, experts have wondered what it is exactly that sets breed coiffures apart from one another in terms of genetic make-up. A new study has now revealed that only three genes are responsible for making dogs' hair look different from one canine to another, ScienceNow reports. Over the years, dog breeders' interest in certain specific traits has prompted a large number of studies into some of dogs' most important characteristics, such as the ability to remain still for hours during a hunt, the aggressiveness and submission levels, and so on. It was only recently that a new investigation, conducted by experts at the National Human Genome Research Institute, in Bethesda, Maryland, and led by scientist Elaine Ostrander, found the switches that made some species have c!

The Pirate Bay sale is going ahead as planned, at least that's what Hans Pandeya, CEO of Global Gaming Factory X, the company that plans to buy the torrents site, is saying. Another big step in the process was made yesterday as GGF's shareholders approved the deal. Now, Pandeya tells us, it should take about 10 days for the money to change hands and for the domain to change ownership and that will be that.Not so fast, though. While the shareholder approval is an important step and the company is now free to complete the transaction, with Pandeya owning 60 percent of the stock, it isn't much of a surprise. And the approval doesn't really mean anything if the company, which brought in about $800,000 in revenue last year, doesn't come up with the roughly $8 million it plans to pay for the site.

HTTP:: Space Lasers Analyze Hidden Antarctic Lakes
--------
As years of satellite observations in the Antarctic went by, NASA experts observed that the southern continent had, in fact, a very well developed “plumbing system†underneath its miles of ice. Underground lakes, pressured by the tons of ice above, have created thin water layers between the rocks and the sheets, and also an extensive cavity system, which allows for draining and resupplying neighboring lakes, near and far away. Understanding these hidden systems is very important for future studies and predictions on the faith of the ices in the remote region. “Even though Antarctica's ice sheet looks static, the more we watch it, the more we see there is activity going on there all the time,†the leader of a new study, University of Washington in Seattle expert Benjamin Smith, says. He argues that the thin layers of water cause the glaciers to break free from their rocky support, and push them into the ocean. If many of them break, then they can significantly affec!

Denmark and Holland are known around the world for their love of bicycles, which have become an important part of their culture. But the Danish capital, Copenhagen, which is to host the UN Climate Change summit later this year, is vowing to take its already-amazing love for the environment a step further. Authorities have recently announced a plan that would make the city one of the most environmentally friendly in the world, the BBC News reports. Rush hours in this metropolis bear no resemblance whatsoever to those in, say, New York. Streets are not over-packed with cars, and there are very few traffic jams. It is very difficult to clog a street with bicycles. Workers peddle to work, carrying their children in special cargo bikes, or in small bikes of their own, if they are old enough. The air in the center of the city can be breathed in without fear, even at times of the day when it's hazardous to do so in other cities. People here don't wear pollution masks on their fa!

The truth is that most of these issues are opened for debate, Space reports.

This is the third time NASA aborts plans of launching the shuttle this week.

Motion sensitive technology is all the rage these days, as every company is trying to establish a foothold in the market and make its own systems the best. While things were started by Nintendo when it introduced the Wii a few years ago, now both Sony and Microsoft are hard at work on their own solutions, due to be released in the near future. Sony had the idea most similar to Nintendo’s, as it demoed its new remote for the PlayStation 3 at this year's E3 conference in Los Angeles.

Motion sensitive technology is all the rage these days, as every company is trying to establish a foothold in the market and make its own systems the best. While things were started by Nintendo when it introduced the Wii a few years ago, now both Sony and Microsoft are hard at work on their own solutions, due to be released in the near future. Sony had the idea most similar to Nintendo’s, as it demoed its new remote for the PlayStation 3 at this year's E3 conference in Los Angeles. But, as many of you saw, there were actually two remotes that were revealed to the public. Most of the tech demos shown also required two of them in order to track the hands of the gamer.

HTTP:: New Tongue Device Allows the Blind to See
--------
Blindness is arguably one of the things that have the ability to turn someone's life around. The disease carries a huge mental and physical strain on its victim, especially if the patient was not born blind. As such, finding a cure for its developed forms has been a long-standing goal for experts, one that has come closer to fulfillment in recent years. A new device brings the objective even closer. Made up of black sunglasses and an electric “lollipop,†the instrument promises to allow the blind and the visually impaired to sense some of the things around them. The basis of the new BrainPort device relies on a hypothesis set forth in the 1960s by now-late neuroscientist Paul Bach-y-Rita, Scientific American reports. The expert then proposed that we actually saw with our brain, and not the eyes themselves, which were only a conduit for optical/electrical signals. As such, the new system makes use of this idea in an innovative way. The black sunglasses are outfitted wi!
th small cameras, which collect images from the environment. These images are then sent to a handheld, central processing unit, which, among other things, converts the light waves into electrical signals, in very much the same way the human retina does in the healthy eye.

Women constantly obsess about certain parts of their body, especially those that they happen not to like, for one reason or another. Aside from that, there are also specific trends of things to hate on the human body, so to speak: the muffin top, the love handles, the saggy abs, and so on and so forth. In recent months, the least desired part of the body has been the ankle, if it’s heavier than normal and can be easily described as a “cankle,†CNN writes. Cankles do not really represent a medical issue, although they may appear as a cause of several affections that may lead to the inflammation of the ankle. The term “cankle,†a slang coined from “calf†and “ankle,†refers to that portion of the lower leg where the calf meets the ankle, but there is no definition.

Understanding exactly how we learn and remember has been a long-standing goal in science for many years, but investigations into the issue have thus far yielded inconclusive and contradictory results. Recently, a new study conducted on rats has revealed a new aspect of the problem. The team of investigators, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, has discovered that rats seem to plan their future actions on instant replays of their past activities. The study could offer new ways of analyzing how animals and humans remember and learn. “By understanding how thoughts and memories are structured, we can gain insight into how they might be disrupted in diseases and disorders of memory and thought such as Alzheimer's and schizophrenia. This understanding may lead to new methods of diagnosis and treatment,†the Picower Institute Sherman Fairchild Professor of Neuroscience, Matthew A. Wilson, explains. He is also the au!
