Taking pictures and editing them into personalized, unique creations or designing graphical art from digital images are currently two very popular hobbies, as well as steady jobs for many people. Today, graphic design is not only for artists and professionals, but also an activity that gains more and more disciples with various levels of knowledge and skill. Almost anyone with a digital camera and a specialized piece of software can edit and transform a regular photo into something original that reflects more than a common landscape. Adding effects and morphing elements of an image are far more accessible now than a few years ago. And this is thanks to the emergence of so many applications that can individually or in diverse combinations give the same superior quality to the output as the full-blown suites that once ruled untroubled. Nowadays, with no more than two or three dedicated utilities, you can change photo dimensions, format, colors, add frames and other enhanceme!

Redmond-based software company Microsoft has recently added a new item on its acquisition list, the Interactive Supercomputing (ISC) company, which is focused on delivering parallel-computing solutions to desktop machines so as to enable end users to benefit from access to high-performance computing.

One of the improvements included in the much debated Windows Vista is the simple task-switching function, which has gained far more functionality through the simple display of a thumbnail of all top-level windows available in the taskbar. Unfortunately, this only works if you have an Aero-enabled edition, otherwise it'll be closer to XP task switching, which shows only the application's icon and its name. Luckily, third-party developers provide us with plenty of replacements, one better and slicker than the other, ready to take on the task-switching mission responsibly and in a more efficient way. VistaSwitcher is a neat way to alternate between tasks easily, effortlessly, and, most importantly, knowing what each and every window is for. The freebie works on all three most discussed Windows operating systems lately, XP, Vista and Windows 7.

HTTP:: Download Growl 1 2 Beta 4

The development team behind the powerful Growl notification system for Mac OS X has announced an update delivering fixes and improvements. The developers also confirm ongoing work on Growl 1.2 for 10.6 Snow Leopard. Growl is best known for its ability to display notifications (although it can also be used in other ways). Notifications are a way for your applications to provide you with new information, without you having to switch from the application you're already in. For example, if you're writing something important, but also archiving something big (using a compression tool that supports Growl), the application will notify you when the process is over by displaying a notification in a corner of the screen (or even in the middle, if you so choose). Growl is very useful for those who use IM applications on a daily basis and, of course, an e-mail client. According to the development team, changes in Growl 1.2 Beta 4 include: - Fixed the displays pop-up menus' failure t!

Apple has started airing three new iPhone commercials emphasizing that its App Store currently holds some 75,000 applications for iPhone and iPod touch. The ads continue Apple’s manner of marketing the iPhone as a universal tool that comes in handy in just about any situation. Also worth noting is that Apple’s latest spots break away from the company's three-apps-per-ad theme, now highlighting six apps in each ad, while the company’s website offers links to the iTunes App Store page, where all the featured apps can be found. So, here are the “lucky†apps, broken down by ads: Dine - TripCase (Free); - New York Subway 09 ($4.99); - Epicurious Recipes & Shopping List (Free);- Zagat To Go '09 ($9.99); - Quickoffice Mobile Office Suite - ($9.99); - Gap StyleMixer - (Free). Nature - iXpenseIt - ($4.99); - DailyFinance - (Free); - GuitarToolkit - ($9.99); - Lonely Planet Mandarin Phrasebook - ($9.99); - iBird Explorer Plus - ($19.99); - Pizza Hut - (Free). Pass -!

In the past, the “Transformers†star was very candid about her insecurities and anxieties, even sharing with the media her fear that she might be schizophrenic and die like Marilyn Monroe, her idol, whose face she had tattooed on her arm. In a recent interview, Fox reveals she was also afraid of flying until not long ago, a fear she managed to overcome thanks to Britney Spears and her music, as Teen Hollywood informs. According to the star, whose latest movie, “Jennifer’s Body,†opened recently to a very poor reception, says she knows for a fact she is not meant to die whilst listening to Britney Spears. This, it seems, is the only thing that has helped her overcome her fear of flying, so, now, when she boards a plane, she just puts a Spears album on her music player and keeps the panic attack at bay. “I developed that [fear of flying] when I turned 20.

HTTP:: Junk DNA Key to Gene Therapy
--------
Gene therapy is one of the most promising forms of treatment out there today, and experts hope that it may one day be used against a large variety of diseases, from cancer to AIDS. But there are still numerous problems associated with it that need to be dealt with first. One such issue is understanding exactly the role that junk DNA plays in the body. Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have taken a major step in this direction, when they have identified a protein that enables sections of this type of DNA to be cut and pasted within a genetic code. Junk DNA is the current term given to portions of a DNA sequence in a chromosome or a genome for which no function has been identified to date. A large percentage of the human genetic material is currently labeled with this term, although some criticize its use. At one point, about 95 percent of this material was called junk DNA, though that percentage then fell to 80 percent, and continues to decrease. Some say that the !
genetic material is a remnant we no longer need, while others believe that it remains stored in the body to be used sometime in the future. “By forming a picture of the enzyme that causes DNA to shift, and discovering how this works, we understand more about how these proteins could be adapted and controlled.

Keisha Buchanan, the only remaining original member of British smash act Sugarbabes, has been forced out of the band to be replaced by UK’s Eurovision Song Contest singer Jade Ewan, the Guardian informs. Keisha remains signed to Island Records and, after 11 years as a Sugababe, she will pursue a solo career. Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah have yet to comment on Keisha’s departure. However, as the aforementioned British publication also points out, it wasn’t Keisha who was supposed to leave, as earlier reports had it Berrabah who was sick of the band’s policy and wanted out, a rumor seemingly confirmed by her missing several Sugarbabes shows, which forced the other two girls to perform as a duo.

Although it may seem like mathematical problems from the past are behind us, and our researchers deal with more abstract and complex calculations, this is not the case, as evidenced recently by a new computer effort by an international team of experts.

The exercise requires which whole numbers can be the area of a right-angled triangle whose sides are whole numbers or fractions. This has been surprisingly hard to determine.Among mathematicians, the area of such a triangle is called a “congruent number.†While smaller congruent numbers are fairly easy to find, and most of them have already been calculated, the larger ones are enormously difficult to calculate.

US Department of Energy (DOE) Ames Laboratory senior metallurgist Rohit Trivedi now has all the reasons in the world to be filled with joy. His crystal-growth experiment, which he first dreamed of more than a decade ago, is finally aboard the International Space Station (ISS), in a microgravity environment. The DECLIC â€" DEvice for the study of Critical LIquids and Crystallization â€" micro-laboratory was delivered aboard the ISS by space shuttle Discovery, during the STS-128 mission. Trivedi's laboratory, in Wilhelm Hall on the Iowa State University (ISU) campus, in Ames, will be directly linked to the small lab, and the expert will thus be able to control all the parameters of crystal growth he wants, all in real time. The final goal of the destination is to understand how crystals form when materials move from their liquid to their solid state, and also how variations in external conditions influence the crystallization process, if at all. Having already exhausted most !
possibilities back on Earth, for the past ten years, the expert has wanted to study these effects in microgravity.“When materials 'freeze' there are specific crystalline growth patterns that appear, and there are fundamental physics that govern these patterns. However, small effects can have si...

Qualcomm's 1GHz Snapdragon platform is already available on the market in a Windows Mobile-based smartphone, the Toshiba TG01, and it seems that soon more smartphones powered by it will become available for purchase. Two of said devices have been met before, namely the HTC Leo and the Acer F1, yet others should also emerge, coming from companies like Asustek Computer and Inventec Appliances. A recent article on DigiTimes says that more handset manufacturers based in Taiwan are set to include the Snapdragon processor in their smartphones, in a move that will probably drive the processors used in such future devices to the 1GHz road. For the time being, the handsets that we know to include the platform are running under Microsoft's mobile operating system, except maybe for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3, which has been recently rumored to also include the powerful Qualcomm solution, and which should land on the market with Google's Android OS on board.

The negotiations, which will take place in New York later this week, are bound to be reinvigorated by the return of the United States to the table, and also by President Barack Obama's strong commitment to the cause. Additionally, with the completion of the world's first global nuclear-monitoring network, momentum is again in favor of signing the treaty, Nature News reports. “This will be a different kind of event with the [United States] back at the table.

Although authorities around the world are fighting to reduce carbon emissions, and to switch to greener methods of producing electrical current, it's highly unlikely that this will happen anytime soon. This is one of the main reasons why the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Ronald C. Crane Professor of Mechanical Engineering Ahmed Ghoniem is leading an effort to devise a new method of capturing carbon before it leaves the smokestacks. The technique has already proven its worth, its creators say, quoted by MIT News. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies exist today, but they are prohibitively expensive, and still fairly new. This is why only a handful of plants have tried to use them, with mixed results. The MIT team says that its new method, called pressurized oxy-fuel combustion, is able to fully separate carbon dioxide (CO2), the main greenhouse gas held responsible for global warming, from other emitted substances. The chemical is then transformed in!
to a concentrated, pressurized liquid stream. This liquid can then be easily injected deep underground, so that it cannot escape into the atmosphere. The method gains new importance when considering the fact that emissions from fossil fuels are still on the rise, and will continue to increase in importance. Estimates say that the use ...

Reports initially had it the actor had been binging on vodka for several hours when the paramedics were summoned, but his camp is now telling TMZ the visit had nothing to do with his old alcohol problem, but rather with an ear infection that affected his balance. The Hoff’s camp is denying reports the star had a relapse, which again might have sent him to the ER heavily intoxicated, like it happened earlier this year.

Former “Baywatch†star and current America’s Got Talent judge David Hasselhoff was rushed to the emergency room Sunday night after his 17-year-old daughter called 911. Reports initially had it the actor had been binging on vodka for several hours when the paramedics were summoned, but his camp is now telling TMZ the visit had nothing to do with his old alcohol problem, but rather with an ear infection that affected his balance. The Hoff’s camp is denying reports the star had a relapse, which again might have sent him to the ER heavily intoxicated, like it happened earlier this year.

As we pointed out earlier, the state of the “war†between microorganisms and humans is getting increasingly worrying for our species. In spite of being more complex in make-up than bacteria â€" or maybe because of that â€", we cannot adapt very fast to their mutations, and our immune systems just cannot keep up. An important tool to ensure our survival is currently in the works at the Rice University. Experts are designing an “evolutionary forecasting†tool, which will be able to hint at how microorganisms become resistant to antibiotics, and how they will evolve in the future. “Our goal is to show antibiotic makers which sets of genes a pathogen will modify to become drug-resistant. If they know the molecular path that an organism will take to become resistant to a new drug, our hope is that they can find ways to cut off that path,†RU expert Yousif Shamoo, who is also the principal investigator of the research, explains the goal of the project.

HTTP:: New Saturn Ring Quirks Revealed During Equinox
--------
Saturn has been around the solar system for a while. But, of all the equinoxes it had since its formation, it was only this one that was observed directly with a probe right on the spot, the Cassini spacecraft. It revealed new and stunning images, which show new, previously unidentified quirks in the gas giant's rings, as well as shadows that were not observed until now. According to preliminary analyses of the photos the probe beamed back, Saturn's rings are not completely flat, as thought, but have bumps that are as high as the Rocky Mountains. Naturally, when compared to such a large planet and ring system, features that are only a few miles in height are not very impressive. However, they knocked off the theory holding that the formations were completely flat. “It's like putting on 3-D glasses and seeing the third dimension for the first time. This is among the most important events Cassini has shown us,†NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Cassini project scient!

--------
Experts at the University of Washington in Seattle (UWS) have recently released a new scientific report, showing that rats who consume alcohol when young tend to engage in more risky behavior than their peers, which were not allowed to drink. Scientists have been wondering for a long time if risk-taking is directly correlated with teen alcohol consumption, or if risk-prone people are simply more likely to start drinking at an earlier age. Some researchers believe that the new conclusions may apply to humans as well, ScienceNow reports. The new study, its leaders say, does not settle the scientific debate on the matter, but augments that side that claims that alcohol consumption is a trigger for riskier behavior in adulthood. UWS neuroscientist Ilene Bernstein, the senior author of the new investigation, says that thoroughly documented data show that adolescents who drink more often, and heavier than their peers, are very likely to fall prey to alcohol and drug abuse late!

HTTP:: Immense Fossil Supervolcano Found in Italian Alps

Back in the days when our planet was very young, the continents and oceans did not resemble anything we know and see today. The outer layer of the planet, the crust, was in a constant process of rearrangement, and volcanic eruptions were a common thing. But, from time to time, crust explosions at a grand scale took place, when supervolcanoes blew up, and spewed unimaginably large amounts of lava and ash into the atmosphere and on the ground. Now, such a fossil structure has been discovered in the Italian Alps, a discovery that could hold the key to understanding active supervolcanoes, such as the Yellowstone Caldera, ScienceDaily reports. In the past, supervolcano eruptions are thought to have caused wide-scale changes in the planet's environment, and are believed to have also influenced its climate considerably. An eruption throwing out sufficient amounts of ash, for instance, could block out the Sun, and bring forth a period of glaciation almost over night. Such changes!

Blizzard has developed a reputation, shared by few other video-game developers, like Valve, for only releasing its titles to gamers when it was sure that it had put together a great package with no flaws and an engaging experience. Recently, the company pushed back Starcraft II, its real-time, strategy sequel, to the spring of 2010 and also talked about how Diablo III would probably only arrive towards the end of 2011. Initial reports talked about Starcraft II being released this fall and about the role-playing Diablo sequel actually arriving early on in 2010. Despite the frustration that these moves caused to gamers that were loyal to the company, Kevin Martens, who is the lead content designer for Blizzard, considers delays and continued work one of the keys to the success of his company and to the high quality of the video games that it delivers.

And, if you play your cards right, you can also get a Halo-themed action figure with Halo 3: ODST to keep at eye level while playing the game. The enticing offer comes courtesy of Toys R Us, which is really pushing its video-game sales business. If you go and pick Halo 3: ODST up at one of its stores before the date of September 26, then you will also get the action figure, which you can take a sneak peek at in the image attached to this article.
