HTTP:: Download Transmission 1 75 Final for Mac OS X

Transmission, a BitTorrent client similar to Vuze, or uTorrent, has been updated to version 1.75 final. Transmission is open source, while most of the code is licensed under the GNU General Public License, with select code licensed under the liberal MIT License. The program boasts a simple, intuitive interface designed to integrate tightly with any OS. Supported by developer Eric Petit, Transmission runs natively on Mac OS X, seamlessly configuring your network, banning peers who send corrupted data intelligently, using protocol encryption and built-in Peer Exchange. It also allows you to efficiently ration commodity, only slowing down your system when you actually focus on it. The latest version of the software doesn’t wait so long on unresponsive trackers, if there are other trackers to try, and doesn’t crash upon being fed corrupt/invalid torrents. Faster verification of local data for torrents with a small piece size has been confirmed by Petit, as well as the abil!

When a woman enters a shop where they sell beauty products, in most cases, she expects to come out holding the answer to most, if not all, her problems. Given the pressure women feel to look a certain way, it’s no wonder we can hear them talk of wrinkles and problems usually associated with growing old when they’re still in their 20s, as well as use products that are meant for women twice their age. They’re not doing so without risks though, experts point out for the Daily Mail. It’s not uncommon for women still in their 20s (that is, when their skin is at its best) to buy and use creams and lotions designed with the 40+ woman in mind. In doing so, they might believe they’re actually one step ahead and acting before the first clear signs of old age appear, but they might be doing the contrary, damaging their skin to the point that it will age faster than it would have under normal circumstances. “Eczema patients who use products that are too greasy often suf!

HTTP:: Notes Reveal Michael Jackson s Troubled State of Mind on Final Day

Michael Jackson was in a very troubled state of mind the days before his sudden death, as a series of notes he scrambled and then stuck on his bathroom mirror reveal. Some of them are inspirational messages meant to give him some sort of confidence before the grand comeback at London’s O2 Arena, while others are simply reminders that show just how dazed he was almost at all times from the drugs, News of the World says. The British tabloid claims to have firsthand knowledge of these messages that Michael had posted on the mirror, as well as of the fact that they show he was very depressed and confused by the drugs in the days leading up to his death. The singer, it seems, was feeling at a complete loss when thinking of the 50 dates he was supposed to perform at the Arena because he thought he could not make it for that long â€" in fact, sources close to the Jackson clan tell the tab that Michael was certain he would not last for all 50 shows and was scared at the prospect.!
“The News of the World has uncovered a series of ‘wishes for the world’ which were left on the mirror in the tragic star's cluttered bathroom. On post-its notes and sheets of paper, they were scribbled as the doomed 50-year-old star tried to focus his mind on the daunting London tour dates ...

HTTP:: New Crash Test Simulation Method Available
--------
Crash tests are the ultimate tests to assess a vehicle's safety, but they are only the last to be run before a vehicle is approved for production. Oftentimes, the results of these tests are considerably different from the initial predictions, which are mostly run on computers. Now, experts from the Fraunhofer Institute have developed a new simulation process that is more accurate and conclusive with the final tests than ever before, AlphaGalileo reports. The main focus of the research is the “B Pillar,†the structure that connects the floor and the roof of a vehicle. If a car, for instance, tumbles over, it's the job of this pillar to prevent the roof from deforming too much and crushing the passengers. There are specific demands from this structure â€" it has to be both lightweight, so as to minimize fuel consumption, but also remarkably strong, as only to deteriorate a little upon impact. Over the years, scientists and auto companies have been nearing this perfect m!

As we are getting closer to the official debut of AMD's next-generation graphics cards, the much-anticipated HD 5xxx series, the Internet appears to be flooded with new rumors about the upcoming cards. Much has been written, so far, about the soon-to-be-released HD 5870 and HD 5850, but it now appears that the attention of the rumor spreaders has shifted to a couple of other AMD Radeon cards, the mainstream HD 57xx series. These cards are due out in October, according to recent details, and should provide for a more affordable alternative to the company's HD 58xx series.The fellows over at Vr-Zone have been lucky enough to learn more about these cards, including the list of suggested system requirements. The list is meant to inform users of the necessary components that will be required for them to fully take advantage of the technical specifications and features of the said cards.

PCWorld is informing that reports about MMS activation on the iPhone are beginning to surface, the earliest of which comes from Mediaite blogger Ash Kalb, who reported on Saturday that select U.S. iPhone customers now had MMS support. The blogger reported that MMS suddenly appeared on his phone soon after he had performed the iPhone OS 3.1 software update, released on Wednesday. Not long after Kalb's blog entry was posted, other US customers claimed MMS had arrived for them as well. The great majority were running the newly released iPhone software and a carrier file 5.0. Even jailbreak users claim to benefit from the new functionality ahead of time. However, as PCWorld points out, for almost every user who says they have MMS, there are two others, in the same area, that contradict such claims. Avid Softpedia readers may remember that AT&T announced the launch date for MMS on the iPhone around two weeks ago, issuing a written report that confirmed that September 25 wa!

Power consumption is one aspect of technology where less is indisputably more. Less power consumption is synonymous with cut costs, reduced carbon emissions, and increased battery life. But while surfing the web with a power socket nowhere in sight, energy costs and the carbon footprint might just be the last things on a Windows PC user’s mind. Not the same is valid for battery life. A critical aspect of mobility being the ability to stretch battery life as much as possible, Internet Explorer 8 is apparently the best choice in browsers out of all competitive products when it comes down to eating the less amounts of energy. AnandTech tested Apple Safari (Build 4.0.3), Google Chrome (Build 2.0.172.43), Firefox (Build 3.5.2), Internet Explorer (Build 8.0.6001.18813), and Opera (Build 9.6.4 and 10 Beta 3), in a measuring contest to see which browser consumes less energy.

HTTP:: Susan Boyle s Wild Horses Cover Leaks on the Net

Just days ago, Susan Boyle landed in the US to prepare for a surprise performance on the finale of America’s Got Talent, the US sibling of the show that launched her to international stardom. Hours after her arrival, a cover she recorded of Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses†surfaced on the Internet, and it’s believed to be the track she will perform on the show. Even if the song in question is not the chosen track for America’s Got Talent, it still goes to show that, where talent and passion are concerned, Susan Boyle has more than plenty. The leak also comes to offer fans an insight into what the singer has been doing in recent months, ever since she appeared on the popular British talent competition, when she locked herself in the recording studio with music mogul Simon Cowell to work on her debut album. The result is positively breathtaking: the “Wild Horses†cover is soft, elegant, but also extremely powerful, laden with emotion and, ultimately, passion.!
For a woman who has lived most of her adult life mostly in the company of her cat and close family members, per Susan’s own admission, she certainly knows a lot about emotion, both in terms of feeling it and of inspiring it in others (in this case, her audience). Useless to say, fans of the ...

HTTP:: Susan Boyle s Wild Horses Cover Leaks on the Internet
--------
Just days ago, Susan Boyle landed in the US to prepare for a surprise performance on the finale of America’s Got Talent, the US sibling of the show that launched her to international stardom. Hours after her arrival, a cover she recorded of Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses†surfaced on the Internet, and it’s believed to be the track she will perform on the show. nnEven if the song in question is not the chosen track for America’s Got Talent, it still goes to show that, where talent and passion are concerned, Susan Boyle has more than plenty. The leak also comes to offer fans an insight into what the singer has been doing in recent months, ever since she appeared on the popular British talent competition, when she locked herself in the recording studio with music mogul Simon Cowell to work on her debut album. nnThe result is positively breathtaking: the “Wild Horses†cover is soft, elegant but also extremely powerful, laden with emotion and, ultimately, passion. !
For a woman who has lived most of her adult life mostly in the company of her cat and close family members, per Susan’s own admission, she certainly knows a lot about emotion, both in terms of feeling it and of inspiring it in others (in this case, her audience). Useless to say, fans of t...

--------
Microsoft is extremely close to entering the final stretch with the development process of the evolution of the Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA Server). Having released Beta 3 of Forefront Threat Management Gateway just three months ago, the Redmond-based company is now hammering away at the first Release Candidate Build. David B. Cross, Product Unit Manager Forefront TMG, explained that Microsoft had already managed to push Forefront Threat Management Gateway into the RC Escrow stage, and that, in this regard, the fully fledged Release Candidate was just around the corner. However, Cross revealed that Microsoft needed additional feedback from testers before signing off the RC code. The request for input goes out to all customers that are test driving the third Beta of Forefront TGM, and is related to telemetry associated with the URL filtering capabilities and the Microsoft Reputation Service (MRS). “We need more data and feedback to improve the coverage a!

Hewlett-Packard, one of the world's leading vendors of personal computer systems, has been, so far, hesitant to adopt Intel's current line of low-power ULV processors. However, the company is looking to change that, with the release of a new, ultraportable PC that will reportedly be launched as the HP Envy 13. Recently leaked on the Internet, the said laptop appears to borrow the naming scheme from the Voodoo Envy 133, another ultraportable laptop that was designed and launched back in 2008. Unfortunately, aside from a couple of pictures of the new product, there aren't many details available on HP's new ultraportable. It is expected that the system will boast a 13.1-inch display and will be powered by an Intel chipset. No words on processor and graphics specifications, but the Envy 13 from HP is expected to come out with Microsoft's much-anticipated Windows 7 operating system, meaning that it will most likely become available at retailers sometime next month. Following a!

The final form of predicted ice has been successfully obtained in the laboratory. After years of research, scientists at the University of Oxford, in England, managed to create ice XV, a never-before-reached form of ice, with a special form of molecular layout. Thus far, 16 new types of the stuff have been discovered, including two forms of ice I. The most common type is Ih, with the “h†standing for hexagonal. This accounts for the six-sided symmetry of all snowflakes, Wired reports. “We have removed the question mark from the phase diagram of water,†Oxford expert Christoph Salzmann says. He is the co-author of a new paper detailing the find, published online in the September 2nd issue of the respected scientific journal Physical Review Letters. The scientist adds that the types of ice are determined by how close the molecules of water pack themselves together, and also by the overall layout of this arrangement.

ASUS was once known as a manufacturer of computer platforms and graphics cards, but, with the success of its Eee PC line of products, the Taiwanese company has been expanding its market presence into some other segments. On that note, it appears that the company is preparing to launch another new product that will compete with an existing one, coming from Acer. The said product is reportedly titled ASUS Home Server TS Mini and will likely turn out to be an alternative to Acer's Aspire H340 home server solution.Details on the new device have just surfaced on the Internet with a couple of pictures and specifications, letting us compare the upcoming product with Acer's current offering. According to a recent news article on 'We Got Served,' the said ASUS Home Server TS Mini has adopted an Intel Atom platform, similar to that of Acer's Aspire H340, only with a couple of differences in the processing power.

ASUS was once known as a manufacturer of computer platforms and graphics cards, but, with the success of its Eee PC line of products, the Taiwanese company has been expanding its market presence into some other segments. On that note, it appears that the company is preparing to launch another new product that will compete with an existing one, coming from Acer. The said product is reportedly titled ASUS Home Server TS Mini and will likely turn out to be an alternative to Acer's Aspire H340 home server solution.Details on the new device have just surfaced on the Internet with a couple of pictures and specifications, letting us compare the upcoming product with Acer's current offering. According to a recent news article on 'We Got Served,' the said ASUS Home Server TS Mini has adopted an Intel Atom platform, similar to that of Acer's Aspire H340, only with a couple of differences in the processing power.

Between 1949 and 1961, the comet 147P/Kushida-Muramatsu was considered to be a moon of Jupiter. The large gas giant captured the celestial body in an irregular orbit around it, and its influence only became dim enough to let the comet escape after about 12 years of “captivity.†Dr. David Asher will present the find today, September 14th, at the European Planetary Science Congress, in Potsdam, Germany, AlphaGalileo reports. “Fortunately for us Jupiter, as the most massive planet with the greatest gravity, sucks objects towards it more readily than other planets and we expect to observe large impacts there more often than on Earth.

In the first large-scale study to ever prove so, experts at the Cardiff University, in the United Kingdom, determined that the decline in CO2 levels in the planet's atmosphere some 34 million years ago led to the formation of the ice caps in Antarctica.

Planetary scientists have believed for a long time that the Antarctic ices appeared as a result of a gradually diminishing greenhouse effect, and this is the first major scientific work to prove this. The new paper, published online ahead of print in the respected scientific journal Nature, cites geological records that show ice formation in the Antarctic began when CO2 concentrations in the planet's atmosphere reached a tipping point by volume of around 760 parts per million.

Experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recently managed to retrieve dozens of radioactive sources from a Lebanese research facility, where they had been left to decay for the better part of the last ten years. The active cobalt, which has now been repatriated, was a potential source of material for a “dirty bomb,†if it were to fall in the hands of terrorists. The action was part of a wider IAEA initiative meant to secure such sources, Nature News reports. The material was first identified in 2006, in an agricultural research institute in Lebanon. Originally used in a pest-control study, the dangerous cobalt-60 irradiator had been untouched since 1996. It was, fortunately, stored in a sealed unit, which contained about 36 sources of radiation. With a combined power of 3,500 Curies, this was by far the most radioactive source in the entire country. In the wrong hands, it would have made for a powerful component in a dirty bomb. “We were worried !

One of the major changes that will take place in the chip maker's executive organization will see Pat Gelsinger, the senior vice president in charge of the chip maker's enterprise group, leaving the company, after 30 years in which he took on various roles. The move will consequently lead to a couple of changes, seeing some of the company's current executives taking on more responsibilities. According to a report on the New York Times, Intel is about to announce a couple of management changes that will see Sales and Marketing Chief Sean Maloney taking on the company's major chip business, while Davi Perlmutter will be taking over the engineering for all chip divisions, a step forward from his current position as the head of Intel's l!
aptop chip division. These are, apparently, consequences of Pat Gelsinger's said leave from Intel. Although no official statements have yet been made, the story is related to a news article on The Wall Street Journal that claims EMC Corp. will announce on Monday that 48-year-old Patrick Gelsinger will take on the storage-product operations and s...

HTTP:: Lunar Crater for LCROSS Impact Established
--------
The Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission to the Moon launched on the same Atlas V rocket as the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), and it is currently circling the Earth's natural satellite, waiting to drop its payload to the surface. It carries with it an empty Centaur rocket stage, which it plans to drop inside a lunar crater. Astronomers and physicists hope that the collision would throw enough dust and soil into the air to allow spectrometers to identify traces of ice or water. “The purpose of our missions is to see if there may indeed be some water ice located in some permanently shaded crater positions on the south pole of the moon,†Daniel Andrews, the LCROSS project manager, explained, quoted by Space. According to the latest timeline, the $79-million impacter will drop its rocket stage to the Moon's surface on October 9th. In late August, LCROSS consumed more than half of its fuel, about 140 kilograms, or 309 pounds, in a series of!
maneuvers that prevented it from straying off-course. The main idea behind the mission is not to send the impactor hurtling at the lunar surface, but at the bottom of a crater, where the highest chances of water-ice existing are. As the thinking goes, if water once existed there, then shielding from the effects of sunlight and co...

HTTP:: Search for Results from the Past Minute with Google URL Trick
--------
Google got a little outflanked when the whole “real time†thing started becoming big. It's the theme of the year in tech terms. But Twitter is stealing all the limelight, real time is all about the microblogging platform. Google even admitted to this several months back. But don't mistake this for giving up or backing down. A trick put forward by the search startup Omgili's CEO Ran Geva, which enables users to limit their Google searches to the past minute, even the past second, hints at more fundamental changes underneath the surface. The trick itself is a simple URL hack that manipulates the time frame for the searches with more flexibility than that allowed by the regular GUI. When a query is made using one of the date filters available in the new options bar, the “tbs =qdr†argument is added, where Ran figures 'qdr' stand for query date range. For example, when looking at results for the past two days, it would be “tbs =qdr:d2,†where 'd' stands for days. !
But replace the 'd' with an 'n' and you're now seeing the results for the past two minutes. Replace it with an 's' and you'll get the results for the past two seconds. 'N' stands for minutes presumably because 'm' was used for months. The actual syntax is tbs=qdr:[name][value] and the...

Scientists from the University of Utah have recently announced the creation of a new method of assessing the quality of the water that astronauts drink in orbit. While, at first glance, the process may seem similar to what goes on down on Earth, this is not the case. For example, aboard the International Space Station, it is critically important that no astronaut catches a stomach bug. This can bring about a host of problems, and can be easily avoided if the water that is available is clean.The new test, which only takes about two minutes to complete, is reportedly able to identify perils associated with poorly treated water, though the chances of some reaching the ISS are extremely small. The new technique developed at the UU has just begun a six-month trial period aboard the ISS. “Now they bring water back on the space shuttle and analyze it on the ground. The problem is there is a big delay. You'd like to be able to maintain iodine or silver [disinfectant] levels in re!

HTTP:: Master Gene for NK Cells Identified
--------
For the first time ever, scientists at the Imperial College London (ICL) identified the gene that controlled the expression of NK (natural killer) cells, which are an important part of the human immune system. The gene's action in fact triggers the differentiation of blood stem cells into NK cells, which makes it one of the most promising options in devising new treatments for diseases such as cancer. This type of cells is at the front lines of fighting tumors, and experts are currently trying to find ways of harnessing the gene's powers for boosting NK-cell production. Dubbed E4bp4, the gene that was identified as the trigger behind NK-cell formation was completely knocked out in lab mice. This led to the creation of the first animals ever recorded that had all the immune-system features one would expect from it, except, of course, the natural killers. The research is published in the September 13th issue of the respected scientific journal Nature Immunology, e! Science !
News reports. This line of research is also expected to provide experts with more clues on autoimmune diseases, the paper reveals.

It would seem that NASA's latest missions to the ISS and the Hubble Space Telescope were plagued by bad luck, as far as sticking to their landing/take-off schedules was concerned. The STS-128 flight to the International Space Station, carried out with space shuttle Discovery, was no different. After delays in its launch schedule, it also had troubles descending. The shuttle landing strip, located at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), in Cape Canaveral, Florida, was covered by rain showers on Friday, which prompted mission controllers to redirect the craft to a landing site in California, Space reports. The spacecraft landed in the Mojave Desert at 8:53 pm EDT (0153 GMT, September 12th), at the Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB). This is the same facility where Atlantis landed after returning from the fifth and final repair mission to the famous Hubble telescope. Discovery's new mission lasted for 14 days, one more than first planned. Early landing windows in Florida could not be !
used, on account of a storm over the KSC. NASA safety protocols state that, under these conditions, shuttles need to find an alternate landing site.
