We’re getting closer to the general availability of Windows 7 on October 22nd, 2009, and to the final review of the operating system, for which I’ll use the Ultimate version, so make sure to tune in next week. For the time being, however, I played around with the closest thing to the Ultimate SKU when it came down to Windows 7, namely the Enterprise version. Just as the Professional SKU, Enterprise is not designed for end users. In fact, customers won’t even be able to acquire Windows 7 Enterprise except via Volume Licensing, and they would already need to have a Software Assurance agreement signed with Microsoft. Only the largest of corporate customers will get the Windows 7 Enterprise bits. In this regard it is important to note that Enterprise is not the equivalent of the Professional SKU. If anything, it supersedes Windows 7 Professional, and is on par with the Ultimate version of the operating system. Customers that buy Enterprise essentially get the same featu!
res, capabilities and functionality as those offered by Windows 7 Ultimate, with no exception. The sole difference is related to the activation process, but more on that below. Still, while unavailable for purchase via retail, system builder or OEM channels, Windows 7 Enterprise is the only edition of the latest iteration...

Windows Mobile 6.5, the latest phase of the evolution of Microsoft's mobile operating system, has been just released on the market, in line with the previously announced plans from the Redmond-based software giant. Since the new platform is out of the labs, the company is now shifting its focus towards the development of Windows Mobile 7, the next flavor of the OS. Expected to be released to manufacturing sometime in November this year, with the first handsets to run under it set for launch in April next year, Windows Mobile 7 has been pushed back a little, and things have turned to another path. As previously mentioned, the platform is now set to make an appearance on the market sometime in the second half of 2010, about six months later than originally previsioned. The latest bits of information that emerged into the wild also tend to sustain this theory. A recent post on msftkitchen provides a slide from a Microsoft presentation from August, showing that Windows Mobi!
le 7 should reach RTM in Spring 2010. Basically, this means that Microsoft will have the OS pushed to OEMs about one year after WM 6.5 reached the same development stage, and it might also suggest that the first devices to sport WM 7 are to come to the market sometime at the end of the third quarter of 2010 or in the fourth one.

Social networking has been known to get people in trouble with the law from time to time, but most of the times it's for something done outside of the social network itself.

But, this time, it's a Facebook feature, “poking†to be more specific, that has gotten a woman in Tennessee arrested. Shannon D.

According to IGG, Altis Gates is a turn-based 2D MMORPG that introduces groundbreaking diversification, letting the players shift-shape at whim. The interactive-pet system provides the players with the possibility to fight side by side with their pets. Their personality and animation will enable them to respond to their treatment and experiences, mood-changing and spoiled-brat acting being part of their nature.

Scientists at the Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM) have recently been able to determine that the “white noise†our brains make changes considerably once we start learning new things, hinting at the fact that it helps reshape the neural connections that allow us to memorize new information.

R&B singer Usher is keeping mum on the subject of the nasty divorce proceedings that are meant to free him from wife Tameka Foster, but police documents speak louder than his own words would. The two announced they wanted a divorce in June this year, and have been exchanging bitter words ever since. The latest involved a September incident, when Usher called the cops on his wife after she refused to leave his premises and vandalized his car in a fit of rage, as TMZ confirms. News of the incident broke just hours ago and, as before, both parties are singing different tunes. Tameka, for one, insists Usher and his camp continue to tarnish her public image so that they can later use it in the court of law when it comes to the custody of the children and whatever support she aims to get. Usher, on the other hand, claims Tameka is out of control and would do anything to have it her own way. “According to the reports, Usher told the Johns Creek Police Department that on S!

Skin cancer is one of the most widespread forms of the disease, and it hits regardless of the age group, social status and other socio-economic factors. Its causes have not yet been precisely determined, but one of the main culprits for new cancer cases is the sun. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation can trigger dangerous mutations in skin cells, which, in turn, leads to the onset of the disease. However, two new studies have also shown the fact that the condition may be transmitted from parents to children, in an upsetting turn of events, Reuters reports. One of the investigations has revealed that, if one identical twin has a melanoma, then his or her sibling is also at an increased risk of developing the condition. The study has also revealed that the correlation does not appear in the case of fraternal twins, where one's condition does not determine the other’s risk.

Over the centuries, the idea that hypnosis may be a potent medical tool has been widely circulated. However, accounts are filled with tales of quackery, of so-called practitioners that brought a bad fame to the word, similar to what happened to acupuncture. In spite of the efforts some people made to discredit the technique, it's currently beginning to become an indispensable tool for psychologists treating severe cases of depression or anxiety. And there are those scientists who say that, by giving the practice a working chance, we may be able to determine whether it's all a con, or if it actually works. One such investigator is University College London (UCL) Professor Emeritus David Oakley, who hopes that, by subjecting hypnosis to rigorous scientific scrutiny, he may be able to determine the intricate neural mechanisms that seem to spring into action when people are hypnotized. “I think hypnosis is underaccepted and undervalued, partly because of lurid tales publishe!

HTTP:: Facebook Triples Its Market Share in the US in Just One Year
--------
Facebook just keeps on growing and its worldwide dominance is matched by its growing share of the US market. The social network has just managed to overtake MySpace in the country less than half a year ago and now it's already distancing itself in terms of market share, grabbing a 59-percent slice. MySpace, on the other hand, got just 30 percent of the visits in the US in September 2009, according to data from Hitwise. While this might not seem like such a big difference, the numbers are in stark contrast with the ones from a year ago. In September 2008, MySpace was the name of the game, with almost 67 percent of the visits to a social network in the US, while Facebook was just under 20 percent. The rise represents a 194-percent growth for Facebook, but a 55-percent drop for MySpace, a trend that seems to be accelerating. In fact, Facebook has grabbed roughly three percent from MySpace in just one month, going from 55.15 percent, in August, to 58.59 percent, while MySpa!
ce dropped from 33 percent to 30.26 percent. MySpace managed to at least hold the leading spot in one metric, with users still spending the most amount of time on the News Corp-owned social network, 25:56 minutes in September 2009, a drop from 29:37 minutes in the same month last year.

HTTP:: Kate Gosselin Asks for Child and Spousal Support
--------
A few days ago, Kate Gosselin was telling the media that her soon to be ex-husband had secretly raided the family joint bank account, taking about $230,000 without her permission and literally leaving her unable to feed her children and pay the bills. As they await for a judge to decide whether the violation of previous court terms really occurred as Kate claims, she has also filed papers in court asking for child and spousal support, People magazine informs. Since Jon took the money from the joint account and left her with little less than $1,000 â€" clearly not enough to pay all the bills and expenses, and feed the children â€", Kate feels it’s Jon’s duty to provide the money for all this. In court papers filed earlier this week, she asked for him to return the amount taken in 24 hours and to sell his two cars if need be to recoup some of the loss. Now, she wants a judge to force him to pay for all expenses. “She needs relief in light of the draining of substant!

HTTP:: Opening Scene for Twilight Eclipse with Samuel Xavier Leaks Online

The third film in the “Twilight†series, “Eclipse,†is currently shooting in Vancouver, as producers and movie bosses are doing their best to up security and prevent leaks to the media. So far, their methods seemed to have worked, but, either due to a fluke or simply bad chance, what is believed to be the opening scene for “Eclipse†has just leaked online, Lainey Gossip says. The video is clearly shot on a movie set â€" that much is beyond any doubt. In it, fans can admittedly see actor Samuel Xavier, who plays Riley, strolling in the rain. At one point, he begins to struggle, in what is believed to be the scene of his transformation and he’s attacked by vampire Victoria, who will probably be added in post-production. The seven-minute clip sees Xavier doing the scene more than once, while also receiving instructions from someone on the production staff. “This is Xavier Samuel on Wednesday night shooting ‘Twilight Eclipse’ soaking wet, filming in the !

Finnish mobile-phone maker Nokia announced a little more than a month ago the launch of its first handset powered by the Maemo 5 operating system, the Nokia N900, and it seems that the device will soon prove to be a great performer in about all available categories. Its Internet-browsing capabilities are great, the Maemo 5 OS seems quite appealing, and now it also shows that it can easily play 3D games. The Maemo Summit is ongoing as we speak, and a video from the show is now available over the Internet, showing how the Nokia N900 can handle some 3D gaming (a Marble Madness-type game called Bounce Evolution has been used for the demonstration). While those who attended the show have had the pleasure of watching a live demonstration of the capability, you can take a look at the video below to see what 3D gaming on N900 is all about. Moreover, you will also have the chance to enjoy a little demonstration of how the Maemo 5-powered device can play YouTube videos both in a b!
rowser and in a thumbnail on its interface. And that certainly seems to be a great thing for a mobile phone. The Maemo 5 OS seems to offer N900 the power to do a great deal of impressive stuff, that's for sure. However, as many of you might already know, the work on Maemo won't stop here, and a future Maemo 6 release has been al...

nn Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) investigations are among the most widely used medical tests in the world at this point, as they can provide a clear, 3D view of what is going on inside a patient.

Now, the method gets a new boost. With the addition of the Hyper-SAGE method, it's now able to detect much smaller targets than ever before. “Hyper-SAGE is a totally novel way to amplify a solvated xenon MRI/NMR signal in that instead of a chemical process, which is what previous signal enhancement techniques relied upon, it is a physical process.
