Flower, Sun, and Rain follows Sumio Mondo, a man whose job is to find whatever it is that people lose.

The game seems to follow the classic story of “Ground Hog Day,†so, if the idea seems to be really inciting, and it is, there is little credit to be given to the game's writers.Flower, Sun, and Rain is pretty much a mystery-adventure title in which you'll have to carefully analyze and explore the 3D environment in your search of certain places, people and objects.

Google Wave has just been rolled out to a lot more users, though many are still waiting for their invites even as those who did get in complain about the service's apparent lack of focus and other shortcomings. Still, the project is very early on in its development and things are bound to change as it evolves and as users get more accustomed to it. Another component that should add a lot of functionality is the platform it provides and the number of apps that will start pouring in as it matures. Google knows that this part of the service is crucial so it has rolled out a couple of new features to its Google Wave Samples to spur further development. “The Google Wave Samples Gallery has been a great way to see what developers have been creating and find starter code to build on.

At the end of the show, after the band performed “Never Let Me Down Again,†frontman Dave Gahan yelled in the microphone something that sounded like “Thank you very much, Chile!†which understandably upset many. The thing is, as Daniel Barassi, the Web master of the official page of the band, explains, and thousands of fans confirm, Gahan was not in the least confused about which country he was in. As Rolling Stone magazine puts it, the quality of the video is poor so it’s only understandable why few could actually hear what he said.

There are perhaps few other things that make the headlines so often about Jennifer Aniston as her personal life does, as the actress herself admitted on several occasions. It’s no wonder then that word of her renewing contact with former flame singer John Mayer is again sparking speculation that the two are about to become an item again, for the third time, as People magazine points out. After playing coy for a very long while about their relationship, Aniston and Mayer first broke up in August last year. Months later, they rekindled their romance, but this time it was for a much shorter while. After their highly mediated Oscar appearance, the two stars called it quits again, with sources telling the tabloids the former “Friends†star had been so badly hurt, that she chose to have no kind of contact with Mayer anymore. It seems that now she’s finally ready to be friends with him again, from what other sources reveal to the media. “It’s not the first time Jen!

The TLC-made show “Jon & Kate Plus 8†may come to an end in mid-November, but that’s not to say the world will never see Jon Gosselin on the small screen again. Reports have long circulated about how he plans to start shooting for his own reality show, but, until now, no confirmation for it has been made. In a new interview, it’s Jon himself who states he has plans for a career in television, as the New York Daily News informs. Since he’s still bound by contract to TLC, which means he’s not free to see to his own projects separately from soon to be ex-wife Kate, Jon can’t offer too many details about the upcoming project either. However, from the little he’s saying, it’s clear he’s not in the least worried about the future and that television is where he’ll continue working. Whether reality television will be his area of activity or not is yet to be seen, though. “According to Jon Gosselin, we haven’t seen the last of him. Despite getting the!

HTTP:: Guitar Hero On Tour Decades Unlockables VIII DS

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. 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!
on Publishing Inc. and developed by Vicarious Visions, Inc. The sequel was released on November 16, 2008, earned a PEGI rating of 3 and is a Rhythm game.

HTTP:: Physicists Struggle to Understand Crystals

The beautiful depth that crystals have is one of the things that have fascinated people since the early days of civilization. Fortune tellers use it to scout the future, while some believe that the stones channel mystical powers, which can be harnessed for various purposes. But scientists have no ambition of learning if that is true or not, for now. Rather, they are concerned about more basic questions, such as why exactly are crystals the way they are. Although it may seem a bit redundant, this simple question still has physicists scratching their heads, and no clear answers are yet in sight, NewScientist reports. The underlying issue here is why atoms prefer coming together under a structure rather than the other. Experts cannot yet determine how a crystal will be structured and infer its properties from its atomic arrangement. University College London (UCL) expert Chris Pickard believes, however, that he may have found a way of predicting crystals' structures. It took!
many years of dedication for this, with his first studies taking place as a young PhD student at the University of Cambridge, in the United Kingdom.

As you might have read in recent articles, Santa Clara, California-based Intel is preparing to launch a new wave of Atom processors, targeted at the low-end netbook and nettop computer segments. Part of the company's next-generation netbook platform, codenamed Pine Trail, the new CPUs are expected to power a significant number of new computer systems. On that note, it appears that we have a possible launch date for the chip maker's new Pineview-based Atom processor, designed for an upcoming wave of new netbooks, namely the Atom N450. In addition, there are leaked details on the launch date of another new Atom processor, the N470, which will boost the clock speed to 1.86GHz. Â According to a recent news-article on Fudzilla, the new Atom N450 is due out on January 3, 2010, just days away from the debut of the upcoming CES 2010 consumer electronics show, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

HTTP:: First Augmented Reality Search App Available for iPhone

UDR Inc. has released its first augmented-reality (AR) apartment-search application for the iPhone (3GS) Google Android. According to the multifamily real-estate investment trust (REIT), the move highlights the company’s continued expansion of its mobile-service platform. In keeping with UDR, augmented reality revolves around a technology that uses the iPhone’s built-in “spatial awareness components.†Those include the GPS, the accelerometer, and the compass. Together (but not necessarily at once), the hardware parts superimpose digital information on top of what is viewed through the phone camera’s viewfinder. That’s how UDR explains augmented reality (AR). Utilizing Layar, an augmented-reality browser, UDR’s AR applications enable users to point their smartphone in any direction to locate and view available apartments that are within a ten-mile radius from their current location. Additional abilities include viewing apartment pricing, seeing how many of th!
em are available for rent, as well as the distance to an apartment building with pinpoint accuracy, placing a hold on their favorite apartment and even locating nearby museums, restaurants, and theaters. “We pride ourselves as the industry leader when it comes to embracing and adop...

In spite of the fact that most of the space probes, landers, orbiters and rovers we send out into the solar system pass through extensive cleaning stages, there is always the risk of them carrying some organisms from the Earth on another celestial body. Experts warn that this is to be avoided at all costs, most importantly because it would taint our results of searching for life on other planets later on. Bacteria traveling with a Mars lander, for instance, could theoretically survive in the soil, despite adversities, and could yield false positive results for a future exploration mission, Space reports. “If terrestrial bugs make it to Mars can they survive and grow, or would they be able to thrive in extreme environments?

HTTP:: LCROSS 039 Faith May Have Been Anticipated from the Start
--------
The Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission that slammed into the Moon exactly one week ago may have been destined to fail since its early days, some scientists are beginning to believe. The mission is not a failure in itself, but critics say that it was a mistake to expect that a huge plume of ice and dust would be thrown out ten miles into the air as the spent Centaurus rocket stage slammed into the surface of the Moon. A number of computer simulations was used to calculate the angle and the velocity the rocket stage would need to be in so as to produce the best evidence. Some of these simulations, NASA officials admitted, might have been exaggerated, and some of them weren't even conducted at the space agency's research centers or laboratories. LCROSS Project Manager Dan Andrews says that some of the simulations that offered the foundation for the mission may have tainted all of its results. When the Centaurus rocket stage crashed into the Cab!

A new allegation has come to make the very public and extremely bitter divorce battle between Jon and Kate Gosselin even more… well, public and bitter. Former nanny Stephanie Santoro is telling Radar Online in a new, explosive interview that she knows firsthand that Jon hacked into everything Kate had access to, including personal emails, text messages and personal accounts, The Hollywood Gossip says. This is not the first time that Santoro’s name surfaces in the tabloids, since she’s also the nanny with whom Jon reportedly had an affair not long ago. However, this time, she’s making allegations that might put Jon outside the realm of legality, they say, unlike back then when he was only accused of cheating. As several US publications point out, if Jon did indeed pry into Kate’s personal affairs after they became separated, he could stand in court for committing a crime. “Jon told me that he pretty much hacked into everything of Kate’s that he had access to!

Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion made official its second touchscreen-enabled BlackBerry device yesterday, the Storm2, a handset that is set to raise the bar when it comes to the user experience RIM's touchscreen devices can deliver, while also coming to the market without the faults that the previously released BlackBerry Storm had. Although the BlackBerry Storm2 can be already admired on RIM's website, no specific release date for the device has been given so far, but we can have a look at the pricing of the older BlackBerry Storm on various carriers in North America, just to make an idea of the price Storm2 might come around at. As many of you might already know, we've already learned that Vodafone will launch it in Europe and that UK users will get it for free on a specific plan.

And of course, thrusters,†he says. “What we’ve got here is a ‘flying testbed’ to help us to learn how to hover and land on the Moon,†he adds of the robotic lunar lander currently undergoing testing at the Center. Experts from the John Hopkins University (JHU) Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) and the Von Braun Center for Science and Innovation are also involved in the activities, as are other NASA engineers as well.

HTTP:: HTC Touch Pro2 Returns to Verizon 039 s Stock
--------
HTC Touch Pro2 is one of the nicest mobile phones that came to the market this year from the Taiwan based handset maker HTC Corporation with Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system on board. Available on the United States market via Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon, the handset is also expected to soon become available for end-users via AT&T, only that it will sport the new WM 6.5 platform. However, the price tag the handset features with the US carriers differs from one to another, and Verizon Wireless is the one that has it for the lowest price, $199.99 upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement. Unfortunately, the HTC Touch Pro2 was out of stock at Verizon until recently, most probably because of the low price tag it comes with (Sprint and T-Mobile have it well above $200). Although the HTC Touch Pro2 is back at Verizon, and Windows Mobile 6.5 has already been launched on the market, it seems that the older 6.1 version of the OS is still present with the!
handset. We hoped that Big Red would pre-load it with 6.5, or that HTC would send it over with the new platform on board already, yet it seems that we'll have to wait a little before the handset becomes a WM 6.5-based Windows phone. Even so, those who would like to enjoy the features of the device can purchase it from the carr...

HTC Touch Pro2 is one of the nicest mobile phones that came to the market this year from the Taiwan based handset maker HTC Corporation with Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system on board. Available on the United States market via Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon, the handset is also expected to soon become available for end-users via AT&T, only that it will sport the new WM 6.5 platform. However, the price tag the handset features with the US carriers differs from one to another, and Verizon Wireless is the one that has it for the lowest price, $199.99 upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement. Unfortunately, the HTC Touch Pro2 was out of stock at Verizon until recently, most probably because of the low price tag it comes with (Sprint and T-Mobile have it well above $200). Although the HTC Touch Pro2 is back at Verizon, and Windows Mobile 6.5 has already been launched on the market, it seems that the older 6.1 version of the OS is still present with the!
handset. We hoped that Big Red would pre-load it with 6.5, or that HTC would send it over with the new platform on board already, yet it seems that we'll have to wait a little before the handset becomes a WM 6.5-based Windows phone. Even so, those who would like to enjoy the features of the device can purchase it from the carr...

Google has a wide set of products and keeping them working together can become somewhat of a problem. But, seeing as integration has always been one of the search giant's biggest draw, it's good to know that it is still working on this. The company has just introduced a new feature in Gmail Labs which, despite being rather minor, could potentially greatly enhance your workflow by allowing you to preview any Google Docs files inside Gmail. “Being an avid Google Docs user, I receive a ton of emails with links to documents that my co-workers and friends share with me. From technical design documents at work to my roommate's expenses spreadsheet, my inbox is full of document links that I need to view as I reply to my mail,†Steven Saviano, a software engineer at Google, wrote. “Starting today, you can preview the contents of a Google document, spreadsheet, or presentation right in your Gmail inbox.†The new tool is available in the Labs section under Settings and will!

Workers with the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) have recently discovered an amazingly well-preserved footprint under the Lod mosaic, one of the largest and best preserved ones in the country. The impression left in the background shows the shape of the foot and also the tracks left behind by what appears to be a sandal. Israeli authorities are very excited about the new find, which was made as they were attempting to lift the mosaic from the ground, the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports. “It's exciting. This is the first time I have ever encountered personal evidence such as this under a mosaic,†Israel Antiquities Authority Art Conservation Branch Head Jacques Neguer said. He explained that the mosaic was being lifted from the ground in order to be moved to the IAA conservation laboratories, near Jerusalem. Moving such an item is extremely complex, and the experts only handled one piece of the ancient floor at a time. The mosaic in the city of Lod was !
found in 1996, but was covered again shortly after, as the funds to handle such a find were insufficient. Just recently, thanks to a donation from the Leon Levy Foundation, this issue could be fixed, and archaeologists could begin the cumbersome job of moving it.

iPhone developers registered with Apple have confirmed that the Mac maker has given them the green light to include in-app purchases for all kinds of applications, meaning free titles too. The feature was previously reserved for paid iPhone apps. Via an email communication, developers of free applications recently gained knowledge that they could now offer customers the ability to upgrade from a “lite†version to a “pro†version of an app, directly from within it. Best of all, the move currently allows them to create a single version of an application to be sold for free with limited accessibility, with the full functionality becoming unlockable via a simple, in-app purchase. This eliminates the need to create separate, free versions of paid apps. Basically, the purchase system applied to most desktop applications today is now implemented in the iPhone environment.

The man was arrested on the spot and, as People magazine informs, the police have made his identity public: he is 29-year-old Peter Kowalczyk, presumably once an X Factor contestant, and he has a history of mental problems. The incident occurred at the Waterstones book store at Piccadilly, London, as Lewis was doing a tour stop to promote and sign copies of her book, “Dreams.†Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, the police say, when the man attacked the singer. However, eyewitnesses said they saw that he had some sort of mental issues right then and there, since he was still laughing when the police knocked him to the ground, as if he had done something “awesome.†Kowalczyk is currently under involuntary hold in a mental institution, pending psychological eva!
luation. “A 29-year-old ‘fan’ was charged Thursday with assault and placed in an area for prisoners with mental-health issues after punching singer Leona Lewis at a book signing in London Wednesday, police say.†People explains. The attacker’s parents have also spoken to...

Pingie: HTTP:: Holographic HUD for Rear View Mirrors
HTTP:: Holographic HUD for Rear View Mirrors
--------
Some modern cars have been endowed with Heads-Up Displays (HUD) over recent years, namely systems that project useful information about a car directly on the interior of the front car window. This means that drivers no longer have to take their eyes off the road, in order to get a clue of how fast they are going, how much gas they have left in the tank, and so on. But this technology has thus far only been used in expensive cars. Researchers have now created a holographic HUD, which can be projected on rear mirrors. Because they have a smaller surface to cover, the HUD systems are a lot less cheaper, while at the same time maintaining their functionality. The compact projection device fits inside an average rear-view mirror. “We can make an HUD so small you can put it into a rear-view mirror or wing mirror,†Edward Buckley says. He is the head of business development at Light Blue Optics, the manufacturer of the new system. The company is based in Cambridge, the United!
Kingdom. The prototype system was able to project an image through a two-way wing mirror, creating the illusion that the actual image is some 2.5 meters away. The holographic projection appears to be superimposed on the reflected road scene, and only a narrow perspective hints that the image is actually formed from the mirror, and does...
