The Intellectual Property Office (IPO), formerly the Patent Office, is, let's say, a peculiar organization. Recently, it became fond of the idea of constructing a space capsule, to be opened no sooner than 2020. For its enterprise, the IPO asked about 85,000 children and young inventors to set their ideas on paper, and to submit them for review. The best ones will be entombed for the next 11 years, the BBC News reports. Some of the ideas that the children had are really interesting, the Office announces. Oddly enough, many of the inventions that the children propose, such as a robotic chef that can cook any meal you ask of it, or a shoe that can play iPods, are hypothetically made out of renewable or recycled materials. This shows a clear concern that the small ones have for the environment, which brings a ray of hope in our fight to combat the growing phenomenon of global warming.

A vibrant culture, the Mayans lived in cities so densely packed, that they resembled modern-day metropolises such as Los Angeles. The civilization peaked around 900 AD, when everything seemed to be going well. All of a sudden, their culture and, indeed, themselves, disappeared, hinting at one of the worst demographic disasters in the history of the world. Now, experts believe they may have found a reason why. Veteran archaeologist Tom Sever seems to believe that the Mayans did it to themselves. PhD student Robert Griffin explains, “The Maya are often depicted as people who lived in complete harmony with their environment. But like many other cultures before and after them, they ended up deforesting and destroying their landscape in efforts to eke out a living in hard times.†The NASA-funded investigation revealed that a large drought had ensued in the age when records point that the civilizat!

The original title managed to move no less than 14 million units since it was released and it is still one of the most played multiplayer games both on consoles and on the PC.Vince Zampella, who is the head of Infinity Ward, has given an interview to the Official PlayStation Magazine, in which he talked about a wide range of issues, amongst them about the fact that Modern Warfare was close to never being delivered to gaming.Zampella said that “With Call of Duty 2, we were dead set against it being World War 2 but Activision really wanted it, the compromise sort of being that we'd get some dev kits for consoles in exchange for doing a World War 2 game.†He added that Activision “thought working on a modern game was risky and, 'oh my god you can't do that,!

Fans looking to own a piece of Elvis Presley â€" literally â€" would better get their checkbooks ready because an auction of memorabilia is set to take place next weekend. In it, a clump of hair salvaged when Elvis got a haircut before enlisting in the US Army will also be included â€" and it’s expected to fetch a whopping $12,000, NME informs. The clump of hair was salvaged when the singer got the now-famous cut before enlisting in the Army, and the owner is now trying to put it on the market. Although estimates have it that the hair will sell for about $12,000, it could very well go for well above that amount, if past experiences are any indication, the aforementioned publication points out. In 2002, for instance, a jar of Elvis’ hair went for $115,000, also during a memorabilia auction. Which goes to show that $12,000 is actually the lowest estimate, some say. “A clump of Elvis Presley’s hair is set to be auctioned and expected to raise up to £9,000 ($12,000)!
. The hair which will go under the hammer on October 18 in Chicago, Illinois was salvaged by a friend of Elvis’ in 1958 after Presley enlisted in the US Army. Being sold as part of a collection of Elvis memorabilia, which includes signed records and clothing, the hair could raise more.†NME writes. ...

The Church has undoubtedly lost a lot of its importance in society over the last centuries. As science and its ideas progressed, more and more people with access to books started questioning the established dogmas. Once the state got separated from the Church, the institution's role has decreased even further. In spite of all that, it is still very popular with believers, and it is widely regarded as the keeper of good values and morals inside the society, Christians believe. The conclusion belongs to a new study conducted by experts at the Uppsala University in Sweden, on the Church of England. The investigation was led by sociologist of religion Martha Middlemiss Le Mon, who reveals that a lot of people still turn to the Church for guidance, in addition to believing that the institution preserves and promotes the values set forth by Jesus Christ.

London's Scotland Yard, one of the most renowned criminal investigation departments, failed to uncover the truth and all sorts of myths and rumors have spread regarding the identity of the Ripper. But Jack has never received a depiction of a dark vigilante or, even better, one of a superhero. Some people seemed offended by the idea of impersonating the infamous slayer and hoped that they would hunt the monster, not be him. But this new look of Ja!
ck the Ripper wasn't anticipated by anyone. Destructoid claim they got their hands on some inside information on the game that describes the nature of the new Jack the Ripper. A vicious killer he won't be and the five women murdered on the streets of London will be reinterpreted as acts of justice. The surgical hands of...

One of the most famous asteroids was, for the scientific community, a space rock known as 2008 TC3, which was among the first to be scientifically observed as it entered the Earth's atmosphere, and burned down on descent. It was first spotted in 2008, and tracked until there was nothing left of it. Its surface and shape were very peculiar, and astronomers inferred that it must have been separated from a much larger cosmic object. Oddly enough, astronomers now report, the space rock had signs of a number of amino-acids, which are the precursors of life, Wired reports. The new research, which combines the results of astronomical observations performed on the asteroid, were presented at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society’s Division for Planetary Sciences, on October 5. The rock crashed in northern Sudan, but it was first tracked down about 19 hours before it started passing through the Earth's atmosphere. As it disintegrated, the larger rock formed sev!

In early September, at the IFA 2009 consumer electronics show in Berlin, Germany, Sony officially announced one of its thinnest and lightest notebook designs, dubbed Vaio X-series. Although it was announced more than one month ago, the laptop has so far been kept under wraps, as far as its technical specifications and pricing details are concerned. Fortunately, that isn't the case anymore, as the company finally decided to announce the specifications of what it claims to be the 'world's lightest' notebook. As it was speculated, the Vaio X-series will be powered by one of Intel's Atom processors, which means performance won't be that high when compared to other notebooks on the market.  According to Sony, the new laptop is expected to weigh in at just 700 grams, which is a great measure for the company's claims of the “world's lighest†notebook. The machine is scheduled to arrive in stores in North America sometime next month, providing users with yet another high-end !
ultraportable laptop. However, unlike the majority of thin and light systems that have recently been launched on the market, the new Vaio X-series will adopt Intel's Atom platform rather than the more potent CULV platform or AMD's Neo.

In a groundbreaking, new image, astronomers and astrophysicists will finally have the opportunity to study one of the rarest events in the observed Universe, namely the collision and merger of two black holes. While it may be that the current generation, and many others after it, will not live to see it, the data collected so far is enough to run computer simulations on what “monstrosity†will be generated once the merger is complete, Wired reports. The two supermassive black holes, which were previously imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope, are located at the core of the galaxy NGC 6240. The formation is located some 3,000 light-years away, and Hubble was used to snap an optical-wavelength photo of it. Recently, employing NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers managed to obtain a new view of the galaxy's core, this time in X-ray wavelengths. The data from the two observatories was then combined to create an amazing composite picture that showed the inner wor!

One of the basic things any kid knows about planets is that they spin around a star. What goes without saying is that a planet in fact spins around a single star. Apparently, this is not the case with a recently discovered celestial body, which has an orbit so elongated and tilted, that astronomers believe it's being pulled, or at least was in the past, by two stars, instead of the average one, ScienceNow reports. The exoplanet HD 80606b is located a measly 190 light-years away from Earth, and is about four times more massive than Jupiter, which, naturally, makes it a gas giant. It was first discovered back in 2001, and, at the time, astronomers attempted to explain its peculiar tilt and axis of rotation as being the result of influences received from its parent star's partner, another star some two billion kilometers away. Together, the two were suns for a binary system, which means that the two components spin around each other. This means that HD 80606b is the first pl!

This because Windows 8 is not expected ahead of 2011, with Windows 9 following it in 2014, in the most optimistic scenario possible.

Burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese is not known only for being the former wife of shock rocker Marilyn Manson, although many are quick to say that this is her main claim to fame. In the fashion world, Dita is hailed as one of the most innovative and stylish presences of the moment, always creating her own fantasy world from which she steps out to walk among regular people. It’s precisely this fantasy world that’s helping Dita cope with what some may interpret as insecurities, as the star admits to have adopted the ’40s pin-up look and style because she simply felt she did not fit anywhere in particular. In order to stand out from the crowd, the dancer realized she needed to do something different, project her own make-believe “reality†onto others, and she could only do this by turning back in time and drawing inspiration for her style straight from there. “Part of the reason I style myself this way is because I never felt I could live up to what is typically s!

Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades is the sequel to the first DS version of Guitar Hero. This title aims to offer the same thrill of the rock star, but this time it is a simpler, but portable version. The DS makes use of an attachment that is plugged in through the cartridge slot that enables players to hit the proper color frets that slide across the screen and use the second screen to strum the chords and utilize the whammy bar. The game employs a sideways perspective to deliver the action.The DS release contains the game modes seen in the other series, like Career, Practice and Freeplay, but also Star Power, and a multiplayer mode for up to two players, via separate systems. It offers 25 songs, pop and rock, from the last few decades. It also features backward compatibility with the original Guitar Hero On Tour.It was published by Activisi!

The asteroid Apophis is one of the most feared and investigated pieces of space rocks in the skies at this point, because astronomers calculated in 2004 that it might be possible for it to hit the Earth in the near future, around 2036. Because the asteroid has twice the size of a football field, a collision with it would most likely bring forth another extinction event. Such a massive impact would increase the seismic and volcanic activity and would also bring about a new era of global cooling, with spews of ash covering up the Sun, Space reports. In a new astronomical study, which was conducted using the University of Hawaii's 88-inch telescope, atop Mount Kea, in Hawaii, it was determined that the chances of Apophis actually hitting the planet, or passing dangerously close to us, were fairly slim, and that there was no reason to panic. The precision of the new observatory allowed the scientists to recalculate the rock's orbital path. Additionally, it was also determined!
that an impact would only cause regional devastation, and not a planet-wide extinction event, as first calculated. However, the impact would, indeed, be devastating. “Apophis has been one of those celestial bodies that has captured the public's interest since it was discovered in 2004.

HTTP:: Cesium Atoms Tie Quantum Entanglement to Chaos Theory
--------
According to a new series of scientific experiments, it may be that quantum entanglement, one of the hottest topics in physics today, is connected to the chaos theory. Physicists came to this conclusion after a series of research studies, in which they analyzed the properties and behavior of cesium atoms, under various conditions. The scientists add that the new investigations could finally provide them with a clear delimitation of the levels where the quantum world ends, and the “classical†one begins. The chaos theory is, in essence, the depiction of the influence that a seemingly small event can have on an entire system, in the long run. One of its most popular forms is the butterfly effect â€" which can roughly be translated as a butterfly flapping its wings on one side of the planet, and the air vibrations turning into a hurricane on the other side. Up until now, it was widely considered that the chaos theory and the butterfly effect were pertaining to the macro!
scale world, and that they did not apply on a quantum level. The team behind the new experiments, led by University of Arizona in Tucson (UAT) physicist Poul Jessen, has revealed for the first time the “fingerprints†of chaos on the small scale, which essentially link chaos to quantum entanglement.

Experts in the United Kingdom and Germany have recently announced the development of a new drug-delivery method, which relies on microcapsules and ultraviolet light to get the job done. Essentially, the medicine is loaded unto the capsules, which are then steered to their correct destination. The main goal is to avoid inflicting damage to healthy tissue, the team reports. Once they've arrived, the capsules can easily be ruptured by shining ultraviolet light over them. This ensures a smooth and effective delivery process, which only acts on its targets, Technology Review reports. “You can keep the capsules in the body for a while, and then you switch [on] the light to release them,†Queen Mary University of London (QMU) Professor of Biomaterials Gleb Sukhorukov, who is also a project researcher, explains.

HTTP:: Telescopes Set for Friday Lunar Crash
--------
This Friday, October 9, could very well represent one of the most historically significant dates in human history. It may be the time when we determine for sure that water-ice reserves exist at the lunar south pole, a find that would have considerable implications for space exploration and for our future among the stars. If water did endure on the natural satellite, regardless of conditions, then it may be possible for it to exist somewhere else as well. And where there is water, life as we know it can exist. Therefore, all eyes and telescopes will be pointed at the Moon this Friday, at 1130 GMT, Space reports. The Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission was launched specifically to determine if water-ice indeed existed inside the most remote regions of the Moon, where the Sun did not reach. The LCROSS impactor is equipped with a spent Centaurus rocket stage, which it will drop in the Cabeus crater. It will then photograph the crash site with its in!
struments, in hopes of determining the light signatures that water-ice generates. Shortly after, the impactor itself will be deorbited and forced to plunge to its destruction inside the same crater. It is estimated that more than 380 tonnes of material will be displaced following the two collisions, a sufficiently large quantity for telescopes to pick up.

HTTP:: Parents Outraged by School Ban on Tight Pants

Headmaster David New from the Nailsea School near Bristol, UK, has decided that a very hip pair of trousers will no longer be allowed on school premises.
