HTTP:: New Camera Records Million Frames Per Second
--------
High-speed cameras, used in Hollywood to create breathtaking, special effects, are nothing compared with the ones used in laboratories for imaging rapid interactions between things so small that thousands of them would fit within the width of a human hair. But the number-one prize goes to the Megaframe project, which has recently devised the world's first million-frame-per-second, 1024-pixel, photon-resolution video camera. The instrument opens up new research possibilities in the fields of medicine and biology, as experts will be able to observe fast interactions at the small scale live, PhysOrg reports. In addition to implementing a host of new technologies in a single device, the Megaframe project has also pushed the CMOS technology â€" the sensors used to capture light bouncing off objects â€" to its boundaries, in terms of sophistication and miniaturization. The coordinator of the EU-funded Megaframe project, Edoardo Charbon, says that, “We need this sort of detail!
because biomedical scientists are studying processes at the intra-cellular and molecular levels.†Because the new, ultra-high-speed camera can detect a single photon about one million times per second, it can significantly push back the boundaries that limit medical investigations today, which are made futile by the fa...

Besides all the sequels the Guitar Hero had for the big consoles, the game also came to the Nintedo DS in the form of Guitar Hero: On Tour. 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. The game was published by Activision Publishing, Inc. and RedOctane, Inc. and was developed by Vicarious Visions, Inc. It was released on July 22, 2008, earned a PEGI rating of 3 and is a R!

--------
The European Space Agency's (ESA) flagship mission to the Red Planet, the ExoMars rover, has been delayed to 2018, after delegates from EU members states agreed to the proposition the space agency made. The 2016 launch window, for which ExoMars was originally planned, would be taken up by an orbiter and a small, static lander instead, the agency revealed. The reason for the delay is that the Europeans are pushing towards fitting the alloted budget for the mission and also for introducing as many scientific pieces of equipment as possible into the rover, the BBC News reports. The current budget for the ExoMars mission â€" as established last November by a triennial ministerial meeting â€" is of 850 million euros, a sum that is simply insufficient to cover all the expenses associated with integrating that much new technology aboard a single, small, car-sized machine. Because of this, the agency agreed to team up with NASA in the future, to explore the Red Planet. Jointly, t!

It is classed as a racing title played from a third person perspective, featuring action and shooter elements.Driver: Parallel Lines is the fourth entry in the series and marks a return to the more classic gameplay features that were mostly abandoned in DRIV3R. Almost all of the action takes place from behind the wheel. The sections where you can go on foot and battle cops with the fist and other weapons are entirely optional. Basically, a skilled player can complete the whole game without getting out of their vehicle unless they need to jack up another car when their previous vehicle has received too much damage.The game tells the story of a driver only known as TK.

The Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) spacecraft crashed into the Cabeus crater at the south pole of the Moon on Friday, October 9, just minutes after releasing its spent Centaurus upper stage in a free dive. As they both collapsed to the surface, the “eyes†of dozens of telescopes were pointed at the scene. Also flying some 80 kilometers above was the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), whose Diviner instrument was clicking away, capturing infrared pictures of the crash site. The first rough data have now been made public, PhysOrg reports. The Diviner Instrument (Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment) usually measures thermal emissions on the lunar surface, in a bid to provide NASA experts with the best possible readings on where the most appropriate place to land humans in the future might be.

According to the international agreements among the space agencies involved in the International Space Station (ISS), the sky lab is to end its operations by 2015. However, more and more of the countries involved are beginning to question if it is wise to put an end to the ISS, after it operated at full capacity for only a few years. The Russian Federation has recently announced its intentions of managing the station even after 2015, although it will have to fly the most numerous flights to orbit after the US retires its shuttle fleet, Reuters reports. In March 2010, the leaders of all space agencies involved in the ISS Project will convene, most likely in Japan, and discuss about the future of the station. Alexei Krasnov, who is the head of manned spaceflight operations at Russia's space agency, RosCosmos, said yesterday in a conference that he believed the leaders would decide to continue operating the station beyond 2015. “The main question to be raised [at the confer!

Care to continue having access to Beta software even after the company is no longer offering it to the public? Can’t wait for Windows 7 just another 10 days? Then by all means buy a TechNet Plus Subscription. Keith Combs, Microsoft technology evangelist, revealed a promo code that will enable new IT professionals signing up for a TechNet Plus Direct subscription to benefit from a 25% discount. By entering the TMSAM07 promo code when signing up for a new TechNet Plus Direct subscription, IT pros will get to pay only $261.75 instead of the usual $349. “Now is a really good time to purchase the TechNet Plus Direct subscription. Think about it for a second, Windows 7 is already on the download area. So is Windows Server 2008 R2. Exchange 20101 just RTM’d and will be there soon. Office 2010 and many others are on the way. So what better way to get access t!
o all of the technologies and build a strong project plan? There isn’t one,†Combs noted. “Oh wait, it gets better. Use my US TMSAM07 promotion code for a 25% discount off the new subscription price. The prices are the full USD advertised price so expect to see the 25% knocked off the new subscription price i...

--------
Groundbreaking imaging techniques today reveal details of the small-scale world that were never before thought possible. They can image single atoms and structures just nanometers across, but they are notorious for not being able to look inside living molecules. The highly energetic streams of particles they use for their analysis damages living cells, proteins or the DNA to a great extent, making live observations of the processes going on inside cells extremely difficult. Now, a new technique overcomes these hurdles and opens the way for a new class of scientific studies, Technology Review reports. A previous approach to imagine DNA and RNA molecules was to make them into a crystal and then bombard the structure with high-energy electrons, or X-rays. This method ensured that the scientists doing the investigation could see the shape of the molecule inside the crystal, by analyzing the diffraction patterns that were generated when the beams bounced off the crystal. The p!
roblem with this method is that molecules take different shapes, and the diffraction patterns only hinted at the overall form of the clump, in which several molecules were located.

HTTP:: Atlantis Rolls Out October 14
--------
The American space agency NASA decided to perform some last-minute adjustments to the schedule of space shuttle Atlantis, which is due to fly the STS-129 (assembly flight ULF3) to the International Space Station (ISS). The launch has been set for November 12, although the actual take-off is still uncertain. There are numerous obstacles that may prevent Atlantis from taking off, but NASA is taking things one step at a time, Space Fellowship reports. The shuttle will, therefore, be moved to Launch Pad 39A, at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), in Cape Canaveral, Florida, this Wednesday, rather than Tuesday. It will travel from the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) to the launch pad in an estimated six hours aboard the massive Crawler Transporter, the second largest tracked vehicle in the world. During this time, it will cover a distance of about 3.4 miles. The trek itself is expected to begin at about 12:01 am EDT, with reporters being offered a chance to record the moment at ar!

Until now, the scientific community has assumed that plants, animals and humans develop different mechanisms related to cellular death, but a new paper has revealed that this is not the case. The research, published in the latest issue of the scientific journal Nature Cell Biology (October 11), highlights the fact that all these mechanisms, regardless of species, are evolutionarily related, and that they function in the same way, AlphaGalileo reports. In order for a lifeform to function properly, it must be able to control the life cycle of its cells. These components need to be generated and destroyed at precisely timed intervals. If this does not happen, the entire organism may be at risk. One example of such a malfunction is cancer, in which cells do not respond to kill signals carried by various factors. They are, thus, allowed to continue living past their due data, and wreak havoc in their surroundings until they are destroyed by drugs, or they kill that person. Co!

HTTP:: Some Acer Aspire Laptops Recalled Due to Overheating

Over the years, there have been a series of headlines regarding laptops from various system vendors that had been recalled due to various reasons, most of which had to do with overheating of a certain hardware component. It appears that, although the manufacturing technology has evolved significantly, enabling low-power, more compact components, these overheating issues continue to make themselves noticed in some of the latest laptops on the market. Such is the case with a couple of Aspire models, from one of the world's leading vendors of laptops, Acer, which has just issued a recall for said machines.  According to a dedicated webpage on the company's custom-care website, there are a couple of Aspire models that may overheat under specific conditions. The list of affected units includes the AS3410, AS3810T, AS3810TG, AS3810TZ and AS3810TZG models, which were manufactured prior to September 15, 2009. Apparently, in these units, the microphone cable may overheat “when e!
xtreme pressure is applied repeatedly to the left palm rest.†The units, Acer informs, could become deformed and the system may malfunction, which is why users are advised to check if their laptops are among the listed models and take advantage of the recall program.

HTTP:: Borderlands Has Gone Gold
--------
Borderlands has secured its place as the October RPG. With Alpha Protocol, the stealth role-playing game, pushed back to 2010 and Dragon Age: Origins announced as a November release, Borderlands has a reserved spot in the calendar. If the PC version has seen a delay in the past, it looks like there will be no more room for any hiccups. Friday, GameSpot received word from Gearbox Software and it seems the game has gone gold. Inside a production plant as we speak, the game will be ready on October 20 for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 for $59.99. The six-day delay it had to accommodate for the PC will make the game available for $10 less than the console version and will arrive on October 26 for $49.99. Besides the classic brick-and-mortar outlets that will provide the box edition, several online stores will also have the title for sale. In spite of comments made by Gearbox head Randy Pitchford, even Valve's Steam will be selling the game. Described by Gearbox as a "ro!
le-playing shooter," Borderlands will be a sci-fi action RPG that will contain vehicular combat and logistics as well as on-foot battles. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the game will follow the adventures of a group of treasure hunters as they try to make a living in the desolate environment.

Kapner, senior director of Information Worker Group Communications at Microsoft. Of course, the Office Winter Games Contest not only offers a chance to “participate,†alongside members of the credentialed press, at the 201!
0 Olympic Winter Games, but to also test drive first-hand the next iteration of the Office System before general availability, which is planned for spring 2010. “Because blogs and online reporting are an increasingly popular way for sports fans to consume news about their favorite events, Microsoft will equip...

Early on Sunday morning, onlookers near the Russian space agency's Baikonur Cosmodrome could see the conical Soyuz TMA-14 capsule descend from the skies attached to its parachute, following a short descent from aboard the International Space Station. It returned home former International Space Station (ISS) Commander Gennady Padalka (RosCosmos) and flight engineer Michael Barratt (NASA), alongside billionaire Guy Laliberte, who just concluded an 11-day trek aboard the orbital lab. The three space fliers departed the space station and closed the hatch between the two spacecraft at 6:06 pm EDT on Saturday, October 10 (2206 GMT), and undocked from the lab at 9:07 pm EDT (0107 GMT, Sunday, October 11). They landed safely in Kazakhstan at around 12:32 am EDT (1632 GMT). “Goodbye station. I would like to express my gratefulness to all my crewmates.

For four years, football star David Beckham has been the main star of the Armani Underwear campaign, but, as it happens to all good things, this collaboration too has come to an end. Armani has officially announced that Beckham will be replaced by yet another hot football star, Cristiano Ronaldo, who will become the star of the campaign in January next year, The Examiner says. Ronaldo will take Beckham’s place once his contract with the fashion house comes to an end, meaning in January 2010. Since David has no intention of continuing modeling, but would rather launch his own line of men’s lingerie, Armani has sought and found just the guy who can fill in his large shoes: Ronaldo, an equally fashionable, hot and good-looking sportsman.

HTTP:: Determining Which Colonies Produce 039 Real 039 Stem Cells
--------
When bioengineers work in the lab to revert developed cells into their induced pluripotent (iPS) state, they often get a number of new cell colonies, of which only a small portion fits the exact type they are looking for. Just recently, Harvard Stem Cell Institute experts have managed to develop a new method of assessing the probability of a certain type of colony appearing following the procedures. The goal of the new technique is to evaluate the exact amount of fully reprogrammed iPS that are produced. Essentially, the new observation method relies only on fluorescent-tagged antibodies and a camera, which can determine what type of culture has been obtained. If it gets to be widely implemented, it could undoubtedly lead to science groups obtaining the correct type of stem cells a lot more efficiently, and more often than until now. In their experiments, the researchers watched more than one million skin-tissue cells turning into iPS. They then separated the real deal !
from the “copycat†colonies, and consequently sought to establish which of the colonies went on to produce high-quality stem cells.
