HTTP:: Peter Andre Insults Ex Katie Price on Upcoming Song
--------
Moving on from the nasty split from former glamor girl Katie Price, Peter Andre has set his eyes on truly making his music comeback happen â€" no matter the cost or, some might say, the kind of low blows he’d take at his former wife. As such, Andre has just announced he’s about to release a song called “You Ain’t Worth [Expletive]†that will be dedicated to Price and will premiere tomorrow on his new show, as The Sun can confirm. Andre describes the song as very “tongue-in-cheek,†although chances are his ex and her current boyfriend will not see things in the same light. Similarly, the media and some fans might consider such a low blow at the woman who continues to be, at the end of the day, the mother of his children, is no way to push a music career, even if he’s right in everything he says in the lyrics of the song.

Scientists at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) have recently managed a breakthrough in understanding how the human brain makes sense of the physical world around it. They compare the process to navigating the planet using Google Maps. For a general overview, a default map works. But, when you get down to the details, a specific map of the area needs to be loaded, and the view switched from one map to the other. Apparently, our brains are also able to create multiple, independent maps, which it then uses to make sense of things, AlphaGalileo reports. These internal maps, which scientists at the NTNU Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience have been studying for the past four years, are created via so-called grid cells, in a coordinate system. This enables the human brain to produce not only one, but a multitude of smaller maps, some of which present only the rough details, whereas others are extremely accurate. Accompanying these maps is a very ad!

During the CEATEC 2009 show, held between October 6 and October 10 in Japan, Lenovo, one of the world's leading vendors of personal computer systems, has showcased the latest addition to its line of IdeaPad portable PCs, dubbed IdeaPad U150. Designed as a new ultraportable PC based on Intel's CULV platform, the new laptop comes with a sleek design and a compact form factor that places the system somewhere in between an ultraportable, and a small-sized netbook PC.The IdeaPad U150 appears to be Lenovo's alternative to some of the other thin and light laptops that have been launched recently, including HP's Mini 311, a system that has been designed on NVIDIA's highly appreciated ION platform. The IdeaPad U150, however, is built on Intel's CULV platform, which means that it takes advantage of the higher-performance CULV processors and chipsets, when compared to Intel's Atom processors and netbook graphics.Spec-wise, the IdeaPad U150 has been built with an 11.6-inch display and !

Brad Pitt’s mother, Jane, is again acting as an intermediary between him and his former wife, Jennifer Aniston.

During the secret meeting, Pitt complained almost non-stop about his problems, Grazia magazine says. As it is usually the case with such reports, they come from unnamed sources â€" so-called “friends†â€", who claim to have good knowledge of the stars’ personal lives, and who do not reveal their names for fear they may fall out of favor with their more famous friends.

HTTP:: Games on Demand Brings Call of Duty 3 and Rainbow Six Vegas 2
--------
It's that time of the week again, and the Xbox Live Arcade has received new items in the Games on Demand section. The first one up for sale is Call of Duty 3 but you have to wonder just who would demand this one. CoD 3 is the black sheep of the family that comes from a different mother. The game is the only one of the series that was developed by Treyarch and it had also better be the last, as more calls to arms are bound to be issued. All other Call of Duty games were developed by Infinity Ward, this including the Modern Warfare title, which turned up to be the biggest one so far. Still, even before CoD 4: MW, the other two installments in the series proved to be very good games. Call of Duty 3 is available via the Games on Demand service worldwide with just one exception: Japan. The price, depending on where you are, will vary but if you live in America it will set you back a hefty $30. That's a bit too much considering Modern Warfare 2 is on the way but it isn't a ripoff!
either, since the retail price is pretty much the same. The second game follows the tradition GoD has been setting for itself as of late and is another Tom Clancy title.

It's that time of the week again, and the Xbox Live Arcade has received new items in the Games on Demand section. The first one up for sale is Call of Duty 3 but you have to wonder just who would demand this one. CoD 3 is the black sheep of the family that comes from a different mother. The game is the only one of the series that was developed by Treyarch and it had also better be the last, as more calls to arms are bound to be issued. All other Call of Duty games were developed by Infinity Ward, this including the Modern Warfare title, which turned up to be the biggest one so far. Still, even before CoD 4: MW, the other two installments in the series proved to be very good games. Call of Duty 3 is available via the Games on Demand service worldwide with just one exception: Japan. The price, depending on where you are, will vary but if you live in America it will set you back a hefty $30. That's a bit too much considering Modern Warfare 2 is on the way but it isn't a ripoff!
either, since the retail price is pretty much the same. The second game follows the tradition GoD has been setting for itself as of late and is another Tom Clancy title. Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 was yet another good game from Ubisoft and combined the first-person tactical shooter with some nice role-playing elements. The play...

HTTP:: Lindsay Lohan Is Addicted to Prescription Drugs Father Confirms
--------
Coming to put an end to months of speculation about whether Lindsay Lohan’s drastic weight loss was due to an addiction either to alcohol or drugs, her own father, Michael Lohan, tells Radar Online that his daughter is hooked on prescription pills. Michael also claims he’s speaking out now to the media because he feels an intervention must be staged for Lindsay, before she ends up like Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson, or DJ AM. His daughter is no longer the person he knew while he was still married to his now-ex wife Dina Lohan, Michael reveals. Lindsay is abusing prescription drugs and they are not allowing her to be herself, slowly killing her personality and, at the same time, her career. The many “enablers†she has surrounded herself with in recent years don’t want him to help Lindsay, he further says, which is why he chose to make the addiction public in the media. “I’m going to get her off the prescription drugs that she’s on.

The image most of us have of Saturn is that of a gas giant closely surrounded by its rings, which are very thin, yet very wide. Now, astronomers prove us wrong, showing that the planet indeed has another, massive ring around it, which extends as much as 13 million kilometers away from it, around the moon Phoebe. This is about 50 times farther out than its other rings, astronomers say. The find helps explain a long-standing mystery about the moon Iapetus, which exhibits a very peculiar trait, in that half of it is darker than the other, the BBC News reports. In a new scientific paper, published in the latest issue of the respected journal Nature, experts from the University of Virginia, in the United States, led by Anne Verbiscer, say that the most likely “fuel source†for the new ring is the debris emanating from small impacts of the moon Phoebe, which orbits Saturn very far out into space.

An international team of scientists, consisting of members from the University of Michigan, in the US, the Universidad de Buenos Aires, in Argentina, and the Iziko South African Museum, in Cape Town, South Africa, has recently revealed new clues of how dinosaurs moved down slopes.

If a massive dinosaur tilted over, chances were it wouldn't have been able to get back up again, e! Science News reports. In the new investigation, published online in the October 6 issue of the open-access journal PLoS ONE, the team reveals that the way early dinosaurs made stride adjustments to their paces may yield some further insight into the later evolution of the creatures. “Tracks and trackways bring animals to life in a way that their bones cannot, by providing a brief but vibrant record of a living, b!

Gwen’s story is a tragic one: she lives with her mother in a car, after her father abandons them and they are left with no means to sustain themselves. Now, Mattel and American Girl have taken this story and this particular character and are making money off it in the most shameless manner. The homeless doll is priced at a whopping $95, which means that no homeless, little girl will ever be able to afford it, and, what’s even sadder, it’s not even used to raise some sort of awareness on the issue of homeless children, critics say. “‘What message is being sent w!

The Oakville-based Napa Wine Company is currently the proud owner and tester of an innovative, hydrogen-production method that may very well represent the first such technique of producing the important chemical that is renewable. The refrigerator-sized generator uses wastewater from the winery, alongside special microbes and a bit of electricity. The electrolysis system appears to be yielding results, its managers say. If further tests are also conclusive, then we could see this method taking roots in several industries, e! Science News reports. “This is a demonstration to prove we can continuously generate renewable hydrogen and to study the engineering factors affecting the system performance.

In a groundbreaking, new research, experts at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) have developed a new type of batteries, containing nickel and lithium, which can hold 3.5 times more energy than the average lithium-ion battery and is also much safer to boot. That is to say, the lithium-ion variety tends to catch fire and explode under certain conditions, and electronics manufacturers have been looking for a way around that for a long time. Granted, the contribution that lithium-ion batteries made to the electronics industry should not be understated. They heralded a new era of devices, such as mobile phones and laptops, and have contributed significantly to the development of the electric-car industry.

Over the years, electron microscopes have generated a wealth of knowledge on many small things, but experts have always resented the fact that the instruments cannot be used to image living samples. The beams of electrons this type of microscope uses to get the job done is very energetic, and can, at best, easily disrupt the natural processes inside, say, a cell. Now, engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have managed to devise improvements to the machine, which may help it be able to do just that in the very near future, the Institute announces. Electron microscopes are also capable of distinguishing individual atoms, which makes them some of the most advanced observation tools in the world. The scanning variety can provide researchers with images that have depth of field, for instance, which would allow for a much better understanding of small structures. Now, MIT Assistant Professor Mehmet Fatih Yanik, together with his student William Putnam, ha!

Mozilla is gearing up for the release of the first Beta for Firefox 3.6. The minor update to Firefox 3.5, which shipped earlier this year, is planned to advance from Alpha to Beta stage as soon as next week. Yesterday, October 6th, 2009, Mozilla reached an important milestone, namely the code freeze of Firefox 3.6, a move which would indicate that the fully fledged Beta release could indeed be made available for download no later than the coming week. Mozilla has however derailed a tad from the initially proposed scheduled for the availability of Firefox 3.6 Beta 1. Mike Beltzner, Mozilla's Director of Firefox revealed at the end of September that code freeze was planned for October 5th via The Register. In this regard, Mozilla was looking to start building the first Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 builds on October 6th. This is obviously not the case since code freeze was postponed to October 6th. At the start of this week Mozilla had identified no less than 31 blockers, namely bugs !
considered show-stoppers, capable of postponing the evolution of Firefox 3.6 to Beta phase. However, only 10 of those blockers did not have fixes at that time. Beltzner was skeptical whether the October 6 code freeze deadline was realistic or not because of the 10 bugs that Mozilla had to fix in order to advance Firefox 3.6 to Beta 1.

It’s no longer a secret that Amy Winehouse has been battling addiction, which has repeatedly put her comeback to the music scene on hold. Moreover, the singer is said to be having problems with her record label as far as the follow-up to her Grammy-winning “Back to Black†goes, which, again, put a damper on said comeback. All this is about to change this Saturday, when Winehouse will perform on Strictly Come Dancing in what is believed to be a first step towards her return on the scene, as NME puts it. There is a catch to the performance, though, so fans might still have a long waiting ahead before actually seeing Amy back in the spotlight. She will not take to the stage to sing one of her many hits, the same music-oriented publication says. Instead of that, she will act as a backup singer for her goddaughter, the 13-year-old Dionne Bromfield, who is preparing to make her music debut with an album under Winehouse’s recently founded record label. “Amy Winehouse !

A new scientific study has determined that soil-dwelling creatures that inhabited the world some 55 million years ago evolved to be a lot smaller than they had been before, largely due to the increased global temperatures during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). This is among the first studies to investigate such a correlation, and experts say that the influence the environment had on the soil dwellers goes way beyond estimates. The creatures responded to heat by decreasing their body sizes by about 50 percent, within a very short time frame, the US National Science Foundation (NSF) reports. “The discovery that up to 50 percent of the body size reduction during the PETM was not just restricted to mammals, but also affected soil-dwelling organisms, has broad implications that may be very significant to understanding modern climate change and its impending effect on life,†NSF Division of Earth Sciences Program Director H.

HTTP:: GTA Chinatown Wars Unlockables VIII DS
--------
The first GTA to hit the DS, Chinatown Wars, tells the story of Huang Lee, a triad member in the modern Liberty City. Huang flies form China to deliver a ceremonial sword to Wu “Kenny†Lee and ensure the Triad inheritance. But things do not go as smoothly as planned, and Huang loses the sword shortly upon arrival in LC. He is robbed, shot and left for dead, only to survive and swear vengeance.The title uses a cel-shaded 3D Engine and implements the classic, mission-based GTA gameplay, also incorporating the newer features of the franchise, like the safehouse, where you can store cars and items or replay completed missions. The game also features a GPS, to help you navigate Liberty City more easily.The gamer can also engage in different drug trades, buying Coke, Heroin, Acid, Weed and other narcotics only to sell them for a bigger price, through the PDA system, but they need to be careful. Buying in bulk can attract the unwanted attention of the police, causing an immedi!
ate increase in the wanted level. Hijacking drug vans is also a money-making possibility, as players can drive them back to their safe house to retrieve the drugs or the money, if the transaction has already been made.The game is published by Rockstar Games, Inc., developed by Rockstar Leeds an...

Canadian mobile phone carriers Bell and TELUS announced on Tuesday that they recently reached new agreements with Apple for the distribution of the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS in the country starting with November 2009. Bell and TELUS raise this way the number of wireless operators in Canada to have Apple's device available for their subscribers to three, after Rogers Wireless has had it exclusively for quite some time now. Following the recent reports that Apple will have its iPhone distributed in the UK through more carriers, including Orange and Vodafone, due to O2 losing the exclusivity on the device, the news that Rogers has stepped on the same path might only suggest that the same could soon happen to other carriers around the world, including AT&T in the US.

Columbia University astrophysicist Arlin Crotts has been involved in a number of theoretical studies over the years predicting the existence of water on the Moon, something that was only accurately confirmed less than a month ago. In one of his latest works, written together with graduate student Cameron Hummels, and sent for publication to the Astrophysical Journal, the scientist argues that widespread water exists on the lunar surface, and he also provides an explanation for how it got there, Space reports. “I am predicting something that just happened, that nobody else was predicting. I hope people recognize that this is a true prediction of the spatial distribution of water around the moon,†the expert says. Recently, when three independent lunar probes confirmed the existence of water on the Earth's natural satellite, most scientists were surprised, because they thought it was bone-dry. However, Crotts was not one of them, as his models have shown this to be a po!

HTTP:: Scientists Find Origins of Komodo Dragon
--------
According to the latest scientific study on the matter, it would appear that the famous Komodo Dragon, which currently lives mostly in Indonesia, first appeared and developed in Australia. Experts believe that the creature then migrated westwards, until it finally reached its current location, where it set up a permanent residence. Previously, evolutionary biologists believed that the Dragon (Varanus komodoensis) evolved in Indonesia, from a smaller ancestor, LiveScience reports. The older research also indicated that the increased size might have been a direct result of a lack of natural predators, as well as the fact that the Dragon specialized in hunting pygmy elephants known as Stegodons. In the new investigations, numerous fossils, ranging from 300,000 years old to four million years old, were extracted from Australia. After some debate and analysis, it was determined that the remains indeed belonged to Komodo Dragons, placing the fossils in Australia long before tho!

For a long time, communicating through the power of thought has been considered to be a cheap trick that con artists use to lure innocent victims into their games.

This new study builds on that, but lead researcher Dr. Christopher James takes BCI to a different level.

Internet addiction is a condition that, when first announced, raised a few eyebrows at best. Over the years, as more and more children and teens became glued to their computer monitors, it became painfully clear that this wasn't something that healthcare experts made up in their own spare time. In a paper presented in the October issue of one of the JAMA/Archives journals, Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, experts indicate that a number of psychiatric signals may indicate a developing Internet addiction in teens and children. According to psychiatrists, those exhibiting signs of social phobia, hostility and depression, as well as those with an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), may be at an increased risk of developing this type of addiction than others.
