Social networking is huge in terms of users but less so in terms of revenue. While the biggest social networks are profitable the income is still well below their potential. One aspect that has proven much more profitable though is social gaming, which has taken off in the past months.

Megan Fox, star of the “Transformers†franchise and universally acknowledged hottie, has officially become the face and body for Armani Underwear, with the upcoming women’s line having her as the main star, WWD informs. This comes to confirm earlier reports that Fox has been sought out as Victoria Beckham’s replacement but, as of now, further details on the deal are not yet available. Victoria Beckham has done a great job for Armani, alongside husband David, who’s been featured in no less than four campaigns throughout the years. However, the family and the desire to make a name for herself in the world of fashion have determined the former Posh Spice to decide the collaboration must end. A replacement was almost immediately found in the person of Megan Fox, as we also reported a while ago. Not only has Fox been signed for the gig, but the first steps towards making the upcoming campaign happen have also been taken, Women’s Wear Daily says. According to repo!
rts currently circulating in the media, the 23-year-old star has already taken part in a photoshoot in Los Angeles last weekend, with famed photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Since Fox is to become the face of the Spring/Summer 2010 line and promotion for it should debut in the near future, an official a...

The second edition of the BotPrize contest, which aims at producing an artificial intelligence (AI) that cannot be distinguished from a live person in a virtual environment, has its roots deep in history, all the way to the 1950s. At the time, Alan Turing developed a test that held that a real AI was only achieved when a person couldn't tell if their “hidden†counterparts were machines or humans. In this edition of the BotPrize, participants had to adapt their AI so as to behave as humanly as possible within the confines of the video-game called Unreal Tournament 2004. The goal of the competition was to produce an AI advanced enough, that judges would not be able to tell the difference between the human players and a computer-controlled one during gameplay.

The game is offered as an open-price product. This means you can pay for it exactly how much you want.

Skype's future is looking anything but secure, even with the recent sale, and with things getting a little desperate, the VoIP service seems to be looking at all options to ensure its survival.

The deal is far from secured but it would make sense for the former to be interested in the latter's technology. The VoIP service formerly owned by eBay has had somewhat of a troubled year. The auctions company hasn't been so successful at integrating the communications technology into the main site so it made plans to spin off the company in an IPO sometime next year. Those plans got bogged down when Skype's former owners filed a lawsuit through one of their current companies, Joltid, over a piece of technology licensed by Skype from the latter. eBay put on a brave face claiming that the IPO would go on no matter what but the fact was that, without the peer-to-peer component J!

When talking about game engines the first name that pops in everyone head is the Unreal engine. It doesn't really matter if it's the Unreal Tournament Engine, Unreal II or the Unreal III engine that makes an appearance in our cerebral cortex, what matters is that this is the name that always pops up. Epic Game's engines have proved to be the most versatile and widely used foundation for games. So every time a new one enters development the question will always rise as to whether it can prove to be a challenge. The latest engine to be announced is the one that game developer Ready at Dawn is currently working on. It will be meant for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Portable and hasn't received a flashy or in any way personal name; it has been entitled Ready at Dawn Engine, but still, a RaD Engine sounds pretty good. As past accomplishments, the company can pride itself with the fact that it has put together the best-looking game so far on the PSP. God of War: !
Chains of Olympus is the tip of their spear, but they've also given birth to Daxter for the PSP and the Wii version of Okami. Though Ready at Dawn president Didier Malenfan didn't really specify any in his statement, he did express discontent with the current game engines.

The former chief left the station aboard the Soyuz TMA-14 aircraft accompanied by NASA astronaut Michael Barratt, and space tourist Guy Laliberte, Space reports. “I've always been proud to be European. Europeans, of course, have a big heritage as explorers. It's a big honor for me to be the first European commander of the International Space Station,†de Winne said yesterday in a press conference, from aboard the orbital facility. De Winne, who is 48 years old, is the first astronaut to break the Russian/American “lineage†of space-station commanders.

Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless is expected to soon announce the availability of a new high-end device powered by Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system, the Samsung Omnia II, which has been spotted recently at CTIA Wireless, and which still doesn't have an official launch date added to its name. However, while waiting for the handset to be introduced officially and to reach Verizon's airwaves, one would certainly like to take a look at it, and the new images with the Samsung Omnia II that emerged into the wild offer you exactly this possibility. WMExperts already came up with a hands-on video with the device at CTIA, and now they also stumbled upon the new images with it, coming from the MobileTechReview forums. Most of you might already be familiar with what the handset has to offer, yet some details should also be noted, such as the fact that the Samsung Omnia II that will come to Verizon's offering is reportedly sporting a 5-megapixel photo snapper, and!

Failure is apparently a great incentive as there is no other explanation for the flood of music streaming apps being launched to replace the many that have failed so far. Despite many going under and the ones that do survive hardly making ends meet, MOG, a music-centered blogging network, is now launching an online music service of its own, MOG All Access, with unlimited streaming for $5 a month. It expects to compete with the free MySpace Music and Spotify, which is coming to the US soon, by providing a “drop dead easy†method of listening to any song you like. Of course, that's exactly what Spotify offers and you can do it with a dedicated desktop app bypassing the need for any web browser.

Everyone is accustomed to fans consisting of a motor and blades, which, through their circular motion and their shapes, suck up air from behind them and push it forward. But now, British inventor James Dyson, the same man that created the vacuums that bear his name, has created a new, groundbreaking type of fan, which has no blades. It sports a very simple, circular design, with nothing in the middle. However, it can push a massive amount of air forward every second and ensures a smooth air flow within the room, LiveScience reports. Since more than 200 years ago, when the first fans appeared, little changes have been made to its base design, mostly because everyone considered that the device merited no improvements. But Dyson has invented the Air Multiplier technology, which ensures that his fans push as much as 119 gallons of air out every second. It is a massive improvement, when compared with 19th-century Middle Eastern fans, which were powered by streaming water and a !
system of belts that could operate more than one at the same time. Some of these installations can still be found in old houses in the region today. However, the one thing that is ineffective about bladed fans is the fact that, in essence, they chop up the air, creating bursts of faster-moving flows, riddled with slower air ...

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has just awarded a further $1.2 million in grant money to the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) Applied Superconductivity Center (ASC), so that experts there could continue their research on one of the most promising superconductor materials ever found. The money will go towards understanding and learning how to control the new material, which could be used to create amazingly strong magnets in the new future, with a wide array of applications in many research fields, PhysOrg reports. The Very High Field Superconducting Magnet Collaboration is, actually, the main beneficiary of the grant, which totals no less than $4 million. In charge of the research are ACS chief materials scientist and Director David C. Larbalestier, and Fermilab physicist Alvin Tollestrup. The goal of the two, and their team, is to investigate the material known as bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide, or BSCCO-2212. Other members of the team include !
Eric Hellstrom, Jianyi Jiang, and Ulf Trociewitz. Superconductivity is a phenomenon that usually occurs when several types of materials are cooled to very low temperatures.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has just awarded a further $1.2 million in grant money to the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) Applied Superconductivity Center (ASC), so that experts there could continue their research on one of the most promising superconductor materials ever found. The money will go towards understanding and learning how to control the new material, which could be used to create amazingly strong magnets in the new future, with a wide array of applications in many research fields, PhysOrg reports. The Very High Field Superconducting Magnet Collaboration is, actually, the main beneficiary of the grant, which totals no less than $4 million. In charge of the research are ACS chief materials scientist and Director David C. Larbalestier, and Fermilab physicist Alvin Tollestrup. The goal of the two, and their team, is to investigate the material known as bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide, or BSCCO-2212. Other members of the team include !
Eric Hellstrom, Jianyi Jiang, and Ulf Trociewitz. Superconductivity is a phenomenon that usually occurs when several types of materials are cooled to very low temperatures. Their properties change in such a manner that they allow for electrons in an electrical current to flow through them without meeting any resistance, and witho...

Lady Gaga has always maintained that what she does transcends pop and goes beyond mainstream, right there, into the realm of art. Critics seem to think so too, having often labeled the outrageous performer one of the most refreshing and innovative presences on the music scene at the moment. On November 14, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Gaga will get to show just to what extend her music is art, as Style File Blog informs. On the occasion of the special anniversary of MoCA â€" 30 years is no small thing â€", Lady Gaga has been asked to be the main star of a very unique collaboration, the details of which are still kept heavily under wraps. What is known of the performance so far is that it will feature the extravagant singer alongside the famed Bolshoi Ballet and artist Francesco Vezzoli, who will ultimately be responsible for the mise-en-scene of the entire performance. Vezzoli, as far as he’s concerned, is very scarce when i!

Such is the case with Toshiba, which has recently announced the debut of its new Dynabook MX/43 and MX/33 thin and light laptops in Japan. Designed on the aforementioned CULV platform, the new laptops are expected to become available soon, round about the same time Microsoft's Windows 7 launches.The two systems offer a choice of performance, with the first being powered by a more capable processor, and the second coming as a choice for users looking for an affordable ultraportable PC. According to the specifications of the two, the MX/43 comes in a 13.3-inch form factor and offers a choice for a Core 2 Duo SU9400 processor, clocked at 1.4GHz and coupled with 2GB of RAM. Apparently, users will be able to increase the memory capacity to an impressive 8GB, but!

Experts at the Kansas State University (KSU) have recently announced that they managed to augment the electric properties of the carbon compound graphene, by adding gold nanoflakes to its surface. They argue that the addition of the so-called snowflake-shaped gold nanostars (SFGN) created a uniformly distributed “chain of islands†on the surface of the one-atom-thick material. They say that the graphene is indispensable to the process, and that gold nanostars cannot be obtained any other way, ScienceDaily reports. In order to obtain the new structures, the experts simply had to deposit graphene oxide sheets into a gold ion solution, and wait for nature to take its course. “Graphene-derivatives act like swimming molecular carpets when in solution and exhibit fascinating physiochemical behavior.

Europa has been one of the favored targets in the solar system for experts looking for signs of life someplace else besides the Earth.

Together, these elements hint at the fact that an ocean of liquid water may still roam beneath the ices that make up the surface, and experts have wondered for a long time if oxygen can penetrate that deep. A new study suggests that it can, at a rate 100 times greater than first thought. Previous researches suggested that, indeed, some oxygen reached the waters underneath Europa's surface.

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. 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.

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. 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.

Over the past few decades, the number of astronomical observatories around the world has increased considerably, and a wealth of new data has come to scientists' attention. But, at this point, a researcher looking to combine, for example, information obtained by NASA with data from ESA or the European Southern Observatory (ESO) cannot really do this. A new European initiative plans to make space research easy, and to facilitate new astronomical discoveries, by providing a large infrastructure for the world's virtual observatories, ScienceDaily reports. “It is a question of equality, too. Ultimately, all scientists will have equal access to all possible data on any astronomical object,†Euro-VO DCA project coordinator Francoise Genova says. Virtual observatories (VO) have been touted as a potent scientific tool over the past few years, but one of their main flaws is that they usually combine data from only one space agency, such as, for example, NASA. Every bit of per!

But, regardless of how complete such a map is, it may still not contain all available data of a single object, so the Euro-VO DCA project plans to elimi...
