HTTP:: Women Can Keep a Secret Only for Two Days
--------
They say it’s easy to get a secret out of a woman because she will tell it to you without even having to ask. Although most women consider themselves trustworthy confidantes in whom a friend can find a shoulder to cry on and a “grave†for their secrets, a recent study comes to show that, at the end of the day, a woman with a secret means that the respective secret will be out in about two days tops, as the Telegraph informs. Researchers in the UK have conducted a poll among 3,000 women aged 18-65 and have learned that ladies are no good when it comes to keeping secrets, being able to keep them for a maximum of 48 hours, after which time the cat is out of the bag. The persons in whom women confide and to whom they reveal secrets they should keep are usually their boyfriends or husbands, mothers or best friends. The last two, in their turn, have mothers and best friends to tell the secret to in the next 48 hours, of course. As the Telegraph puts it, the findings of t!
he study clearly show that every Brit who ever confided in a woman a secret they didn’t want out for dear life might as well start thinking about a lie to cover it up. The irony of the study, the publication says, is that 83 percent of the queried women stated they considered themselves trustworthy and good at keeping secre...

Being tall may have its advantages, but, for Sultan Kosen from Turkey, the latest holder of the world Guinness record for the tallest man in the world, it also means he can’t get a date. Measuring 8ft 1in (2.5m), the gentle giant is now in London to promote the Guinness Book of Records, for some sightseeing and to tower over people in the hope that fame will help him find his true love, as Times Online puts is. To say that Kosen is incredibly tall is somewhat of an understatement, since he is the official holder of the title of the world’s tallest man â€" so it’s understandable that girls might be scared of him at first, as he says so himself. However, what with the Guinness title and an offer to be signed to Ugly, a modeling agency, he stands to make anything from £1,000 to £10,000 for a single commercial appearance, and he hopes the exposure and money will also help him meet more girls â€" and buy a car that he would fit in. “The first thing I want is a car I!
can fit into. More than that, I want to get married. It’s really difficult to find a girlfriend. They are usually scared of me.†the 27-year-old Turk says. In all fairness, people’s first reaction when seeing the “tower on legs†is to be afraid, something Sultan has ...

Electronic Arts is announcing that BioWare, one of the most important development studios that it owns, has partnered up with Tor Books, one of the biggest publishers of fantasy titles on the market, in order to publish a novel set in the Dragon Age universe, called The Calling. David Gaider, who has a long pedigree in game development and has been the lead writer on Dragon Age: Origins, has penned the new novel, which is set to be released on October 13, 2009 for the price of 14.99 dollars.

O&O has recently launched the 12th edition of its defragmentation family, a solution destined for both home environment through the Professional version as well as the corporate one, via the Workstation and the Server editions. Their defragmentation product has always been present in the debate on which was the best defrag program on the market and many users have leaned towards it. So the developer has all the reasons to improve the product and introduce to the user both new features and amend the quality of its services, as well as new prices. By September 30th, the German company sweetens the deal for its server defragmentation solution. Thus, for the Server edition of the defragger you will pay only €99 instead of the original €249 price (VAT is not included in the price, so add €18.81 to the payment, making it €117.81). A 40% slash on the price tag is sweet enough, but combined with the new features of the latest issue this could easily turn into an offer!
many can't refuse. The benefits of the new release include full compatibility with Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2, background monitoring (which now can be configured for individual drives) to keep the system at peak performance, central management of O&O Defrag installations in the network (with O&O Enterprise Management ...

According to a new report, released by a collaboration of scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and the University of Michigan, it may be that sunspot activities are not enough to gage the intensity of solar actions, despite already-established knowledge. As an argument to prove their point, the experts showcase the fact that, last year, the Earth was literally “bombarded†with high levels of solar radiation, even though sunspots were nowhere in sight. Over the past couple of years, the Sun has been in an unusually quiet phase, NSF News reports. Our Sun works in 11-year cycles, characterized by periods of high and low solar activity. However, the cycle we are in now is very peculiar as far as activity from the star goes. We were now supposed to be entering a period of intense activity, and sunspots are nowhere to be seen.

He will be one of the keynote speakers in this unusual conference, which promises to yield some interesting discussions about the usefulness of employing such advanced and expensive scan techniques on the dead.

According to the star, director David Slade is taking the “Twilight†franchise in a darker direction, which is the same thing that teen heartthrob Taylor Lautner was also saying a short while back, during an interview on the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards. In doing so, Slade will actually manage to do what seemed to be impossible until now, that is, make “Twilight†appeal to a different segment of the audience â€" even if that means battling it out with Summit Entertainment, Greene says. “I think it’ll be different.†the actress explains for Splash News. “I think!

--------
The recently launched Planck telescope finally began to observe the Universe on August 13th, during a test-observation period. Built specifically by the European Space Agency (ESA) to analyze the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the relic radiation left behind when the Cosmos first exploded into being, the telescope is now the coldest object in the known Universe. It circles the Sun in a Lagrangian orbit, in the L2 point, alongside ESA's other large observatory, the Herschel Space Telescope, AlphaGalileo reports. The two-week first light survey began on August 13th, after the calibration of all subsystems on the satellite, and the cool-down of its instruments' detectors was achieved. The telescope's mission is to survey the sky and detect variations in the CMB temperature that are equivalent to measuring the body heat of a rabbit located on the Moon. It was therefore cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero (â€"273.15°Celsius, or zero Kelvin). The goal of the te!

People magazine caught up with the singer and asked him how he felt about Kanye’s interruption of Taylor at the VMAs and, as anyone can imagine, McGraw did not have kind words for him. However, the singer took the interruption personally, since his three daughters were all watching the awards and were dying to hear Taylor speak, since they’re such big fans. They were, of course, disappointed that they didn’t get to hear Taylor until towards the end of the awards ceremony. “He shows himself to be an idiot every time he does stuff like that.†McGraw says for People!

The researchers in charge of the paper say that a large number of causes for this phenomenon exists. On the one hand, people who adhere, for example, to a literal interpretation of the Bible tend to be less open to contraception for their kids. On the other hand, most of the time, parents fail to discourage and prevent relationships between teens. “We conjecture that religious communities in the US are more successful in discouraging the use of contraception among their teenagers than they are in discouraging intercourse itself,†Drexel University College of Medicine study researcher Joseph Strayhorn, who also holds an appointment at the University of Pittsburgh, says.

HTC Leo seems to have all that it takes to become one of the most popular handsets running under Microsoft's upcoming Windows Mobile 6.5, if not the most popular one. The handset is reportedly coming to the market with a capacitive touchscreen, packs the already known Snapdragon chipset from Qualcomm, and is also set to deliver to users a few surprises, such as the support for multi-touch gestures that can be seen in the video below. The handset has been spotted in the wild for quite some time now, yet no official word on it surfaced until now. However, it is already known to hit the shelves with a 4.3-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen that should raise the hopes of any Windows Mobile enthusiast out there. Although the capacitive touchscreen and the goodies that it can deliver to users haven't been confirmed until now, the video that emerged on the web via PocketPT.net shows multi-touch zooming in picture, maps, browser and applications. It remains to be seen when the ha!
ndset will actually become available for purchase on the market. HTC already announced a new device that will sport Windows Mobile 6.5 right from the start, the HTC Touch2, but it won't compare to the Leo at all. No details on the pricing of the HTC Leo are available either, but one should expect it to be rather expensive. ...

Experts at the University of Washington in Seattle have recently announced the first successful treatment of color blindness using gene therapy, in squirrel monkeys. The method has been applied on animals that were born with the condition, not that developed it over the course of their lifetimes. The new research brings forth new hope of finding a cure for the condition, which adversely affects the quality of life of many people suffering from it as well, Nature News reports. “This is a truly amazing study. If we can target gene expression specifically to cones [in humans] then this has a tremendous implication,†University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia veterinary ophthalmologist and vision researcher Andras Komaromy says. He has not been directly involved in the new study. Details of the amazing feat are published in the latest issue of the renowned scientific journal Nature. The paper shows how these experiments could be used on other visual impairments as well. !

HTTP:: Farms Cover Half of Global Fish Consumption Levels

Once upon a time, aquaculture was not one of the well-developed branches of food production. It fact, its contribution to the total amount of fish the world's population consumed was negligible. This is no longer the case today. A new report from an international group of scientists comes to show that more than half of the fish eaten around the world today comes from a farm. But there is also a downside to this trend: a large portion of the marine food that would otherwise feed natural ecosystems is being harvested as a source of nutrients for the farmed fish. In the new paper, published in the September 7th online edition of the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the authors identify an increased demand as one of the largest contributors to the current trend. “Aquaculture is set to reach a landmark in 2009, supplying half of the total fish and shellfish for human consumption,†they say.

Spending nine months and five days in the deep sea seems like something even a top-class submarine would find difficult to accomplish without maintenance work. But this proved to be a walk in the park for a University of Washington Seaglider, which spent this entire time on a single mission, roaming the Pacific Ocean, and submerging to great depths to collect scientific data. It roamed in total more than 3,050 miles (4,900 kilometers) in the North Pacific, a distance equivalent to crossing the Atlantic from England to the US. This achievement sets a new record for this type of craft and mission.The ship's controllers say that no other underwater robotic exploration vehicles managed to stay on course within the parameters of such a mission, not even for half of the time the Seaglider did. The newly established record is absolute both in terms of the amount of time spent under the water, and of the total distance that the craft traveled under its own propulsion system (that i!
s to say, unaided by currents).“Operating endurance is about how far a glider propels itself â€" as opposed to drifting with currents â€" and how often dives are made to collect oceanographic data. And the Seaglider was truly autonomous the entire time,†UW Professor of Oceanography Charles Eriks...

The newly established record is absolute both in terms of the amount of time spent under the water, and of the total distance that the craft traveled under its own propulsion system (that i!

World of Warcraft is the biggest subscription-based MMO in the world of videogames at the moment and it's bringing a lot of money in for Activision Blizzard. The company is not giving up on it, as expressed by the announcement of a new expansion called Cataclysm, but for some time now, it has quietly been working on a new MMO project, and Bobby Kotick, the Chief Executive Officer of Activision Blizzard, shared a few things about it at the Deutsche Bank Securities Technology Conference in San Francisco.While talking about the new and improved Battle.net service, Bobby Kotick said that “What we've announced at Blizzard is that we have Starcraft coming, Diablo has been in production […] and a new, unannounced MMO that has a little more broad appeal.†Initial reports that Blizzard was putting together another MMO appeared as early as 2007 and a confirmation from the company followed.Earlier in 2009, Jeff Kaplan, who has been the game director for World of Warcraft, moved !

Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion seems to be preparing the release of a series of three new BlackBery devices for the ongoing year, as well as a number of 16 other handsets set for launch next year. The RIM mobile phones that should reach the market this year are supposedly the Blackberry Essex, Blackberry 9100 aka Striker and Blackberry Curve 8530. The news about the new BlackBerries comes from thecoolguyreport, which already brought to the light details on the upcoming Storm 2 and Bold 9700, and which seems to be quite effective. While the upcoming launch of the three new handsets from RIM might not sound like a surprise to some of you, as rumors about these devices emerged earlier, the number of handsets slated for release in 2010 should certainly seem impressive.

HTTP:: First Rocky Exoplanet Identified
--------
Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) finally concluded the largest set of HARPIS measurements, and established the mass and density of the smallest and fastest orbiting exoplanet known, CoRoT-7b. The celestial body has a mass five times that of our own planet, and a radius about two times bigger, which can only mean that it too is rocky, with a consistency very similar to this one's. The same solar system also revealed a new so-called Super Earth, orbiting within its recesses. “This is science at its thrilling and amazing best. We did everything we could to learn what the object discovered by the CoRoT satellite looks like and we found a unique system,†Didier Queloz, the leader of the ESO team in charge of the new observations, says. The Earth-like exoplanet revolves around a once-thought-unremarkable star formerly known as TYC 4799-1733-1. Once the planet was found, the star was renamed CoRoT-7. It is located towards the constellation of Monoceros (t!

Parents often blame celebrity culture for the way their children dress or act, and the dispute of whether stars should ever be considered role models for the young will probably never die down. On this note, a recent survey conducted in the UK shows that an overwhelming majority of adults also sees stars like footballer David Beckham and singer Cheryl Cole as the “best role models†for its children, as the Daily Mail informs. Almost 2,000 adults took part in the survey and many of them were very convincing when they said that they believed celebrities did make for good role models to which the children could look up, even if this also revealed another cruel fact: less and less kids at the moment looked up to their own parents, the Mail points out. This also goes to strengthen the warning issued by the Association of Teachers and Lecturers last year, which said that celebrities were setting bad examples for impressionable teens and kids. “More than half of the adul!

Japanese-Swedish phone maker Sony Ericsson announced recently the launch of a new Xperia device, called Pureness, which comes to the market with a rather unusual design when compared to other handsets included in the company's Xperia series. The phone sports a transparent display and has been said to hit the shelves sometime in November, yet now some more details on its availability and pricing have emerged. According to Brand Republic, Sony Ericsson has put a rather high price tag on Pureness, namely £530, or about 874 USD. At the same time, it seems that the phone maker does not plan on launching it in the UK via a wireless carrier, but through the retail channel directly, a quite surprising move when it comes to Sony Ericsson. Not only is Pureness featuring a different design when put beside other Xperia handsets, such as X1 or X2, but it is also a device that does not come to the market with smartphone capabilities as the other two.

Instead of the flat, longer lock of hair on the side, Mrs. Gosselin donned curlier locks on The View, thus reaping praises from anyone from the members of the audience to her co-hosts. Barbara Walters, for one, was completely taken aback by the change, telling Kate she looked as “cute†as a button and ever so classy.
