More and more people are classified as overweight or obese with each passing day in what has been generally referred to as the obesity epidemics. Health experts constantly issue warnings about the health risks the obese and overweight are exposed to because of the many extra pounds, but the danger for them lurks from the outside world as well. Bullying and fatism are becoming ever-present wherever we look, 53-year-old Marsha Coupe says for the Daily Mail. Ms. Coupe is overweight, but that alone should not be a reason for discrimination, let alone for a hate crime, she says for the publication. She was recently attacked on a train for the mere reason that she weighed more than the average woman, was left with severe bruises all over her body and even feared she might lose one of her eyes.

Since the invention of photography, people wanted to take as many photos as they could, and that is because photos are a nice way to remember the places you’ve visited or people you’ve met and maybe you will never meet again. But soon after, another technology appeared, namely image stitching, which allows you to combine multiple photographic images with overlapping fields of view into a segmented panorama or high-resolution image.  This is perhaps the best way you can remember both the places and the people. But this kind of picture has its drawbacks, since it requires nearly exact overlaps between images and identical exposures to produce seamless results. The art of image stitching is somehow like mosaicking.  The Looks  Enter PTGui, a piece of software that will help you tweak your pictures so as to get the best results for your photo album.

This release is powered by Linux kernel 2.6.31.4, and it includes the KDE 4.3.2 and GNOME 2.28.0 desktop environments. Moblin support was also added in this release, as well as better power management, audio, webcam and video codec support. GNOME Shell is also available for testing, in the default software repository, and it will offer a preview of how GNOME 3 will look like. However, checking the feature list for Fedora 12, it appears that the developers completed all of them. Here are the most important: · Linux Kernel 2.6.31.4; · Dracut, the new booting system; · Plymouth graphical boot splash; · KDE 4.3.2; · GNOME 2.28.0; · Empathy Instant Messenger; · Moblin support; · Better webcam support; · Spanning desktop support; · Improved HD video codecs; · Network Manager mobile broadba!

Computer maker Acer already announced a few days ago that it would deliver to the market its first mobile phone powered by Google's Android operating system, following a few months of rumors regarding the existence of the device, and now we learn that the handset, dubbed Acer Liquid A1, will arrive in November this year. Moreover, the handset also got a price tag, as it is already available for pre-order on Expansys Spain, where it is listed at €379.99 unlocked (around $570). Considering the capabilities of the device, and the fact that it is the first handset powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor that runs under Android, the price does not seem to be a bad one at all. According to the retailer, the Acer Liquid A1 is expected to become available for purchase on November 28 in Spain, but there are great chances that it will come to more markets in Europe around the same date.

As expected by many, Apple has taken its online store down for maintenance, possibly updating the venue with new versions of the all-in-one desktop Macintosh â€" the iMac â€" as well as new, beefed-up MacBooks. Softpedia wouldn’t say the discontinuing of one or two products is far-fetched either. It is not surprising to see the Apple web store go down a mere day after Apple disclosed its fiscal 2009 fourth quarter earnings, which, by the way, exceeded both the company’s, and the analysts’ expectations again. By announcing its most profitable quarter ever, the Mac maker posted a revenue of $9.87 billion and a net quarterly profit of $1.67 billion, with record Mac and iPhone sales. With all this behind, it is only logical for the company to focus on pushing upgrades onto potential customers. With all this attention, the timing is perfect!

HTTP:: Windows 7 vs Vista SP2 vs XP SP3 Performance Comparison
--------
Windows 7 has been receiving high praises as far as performance goes since the operating system debuted into Beta. Not even at the Beta Build 7000 level and not at Release Candidate (RC) Build 7100 was Windows 7 criticized for any sort of performance issues. On the contrary in fact, Windows 7’s new task execution speed, responsiveness, lack of hangs and freezes were applauded across the board by testers and adopters. Just imagine an operating system that is at the opposite pole compared to Windows Vista RTM, which was crucified as soon as it hit the shelves, and found to be slower than its predecessor on the same hardware. In contrast, Windows 7 has been receiving nothing but accolades performance-wise, and well-deserved accolades at that. Microsoft managed to deliver the first official Windows Vista vs. Windows 7 performance measuring contest with a boot speed drag race back in early 2009.

Windows 7 has been receiving high praises as far as performance goes since the operating system debuted into Beta. Not even at the Beta Build 7000 level and not at Release Candidate (RC) Build 7100 was Windows 7 criticized for any sort of performance issues. On the contrary in fact, Windows 7’s new task execution speed, responsiveness, lack of hangs and freezes were applauded across the board by testers and adopters. Just imagine an operating system that is at the opposite pole compared to Windows Vista RTM, which was crucified as soon as it hit the shelves, and found to be slower than its predecessor on the same hardware. In contrast, Windows 7 has been receiving nothing but accolades performance-wise, and well-deserved accolades at that. Microsoft managed to deliver the first official Windows Vista vs. Windows 7 performance measuring contest with a boot speed drag race back in early 2009. But startup speed is only one aspect of performance. InfoWorld’s Andrew Binsto!

Driver: Parallel Lines is a videogame developed by Reflections Interactive Limited and published by Atari. Inc. The game was released for the PlayStation 2 home console from Sony, the original Xbox from Microsoft, the Nintendo Wii and the PC in March 2006. 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.

Stress may be taking a heavy toll on Susan Boyle again, although, hopefully, this time, things are not as bad as when she was still in the run for the number-one spot in Britain’s Got Talent competition.

Fans know that Susan also checked herself to The Priory mental health clinic in London this summer, as she was suffering from exhaustion and was clearly not prepared to deal with the consequences of international (almost instant) fame. This time, though, the visit to the hospital had nothing to do with her mental condition, but rather with stomach pains of which she had been complaining for days. “Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle had to be hospitalized on Saturday after suffering from extreme stomach pains.

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!

Bacteria are widely known for their amazing ability to withstand conditions that could kill an average person over a short period of time. Among these microorganisms, the strongest and toughest is Deinococcus radiodurans. It is able to endure very high temperatures, it can survive scorching drought conditions or the lack of nutrients, and also radiation dosages that exceed the maximum-allowed limit for humans 1,000 times over. Scientists at the Cornwall University have now finally managed to unlock its secrets, PhysOrg reports. The team has determined that the key to D. radiodurans' resistance, and ability to recover after being exposed to massive doses of ultraviolet radiation, is nitric oxide, one of the compounds that are responsible for the formation of smog over crowded cities. The molecule is also used in a number of metabolic processes in animals, and is invaluable to life. Details of the study were published online, in the October 19 issue of the respected journal!

Back in the days when she still hadn’t announced she was pregnant again, Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of singer Elvis Presley and actress Priscilla Presley, took a lot of flack in the media for her weight. Some tabloids, unaware of her condition, even went the extra mile and said she was beginning to resemble her father, when his weight ballooned. One year later, exactly on the twins’ first birthday, Lisa Marie is showing them off to the world in the latest issue of Hello! magazine. The photo, taken by the girls’ father, musician Michael Lockwood, shows Lisa Marie, face glowing with happiness, holding the two girls tight to her chest. It was taken in the UK, where the two girls celebrated their first birthday. However, unlike what tradition in Hollywood says, Finley and Harper did not get a big bash with A-listers bringing them presents. Instead, the family and a few close friends gathered to celebrate the happy event, just like a “normal†family would, it is be!

One year later, exactly on the twins’ first birthday, Lisa Marie is showing them off to the world in the latest issue of Hello! magazine. The photo, taken by the girls’ father, musician Michael Lockwood, shows Lisa Marie, face glowing with happiness, holding the two girls tight to her chest. It was taken in the UK, where the two girls celebrated their first birthday. However, unlike what tradition in Hollywood says, Finley and Harper did not get a big bash with A-listers bringing them presents. Instead, the family and a few close friends gathered to celebrate the happy event, just like a “normal†family would, it is be!

Scientists at the Forschungszentrum Juelich, in Germany, announce the development of a new method of scanning liquids in airports that reduces the waiting time and is far more effective at detecting substances that may be combined to form bombs than any other existing method. If put to commercial use, the new scanner could have the beneficial effect of lifting the ban on liquids being carried into airplanes. The technology is entirely light-based, and can identify a wide array of liquids in just fractions of a second, the BBC News reports. The German team recently published details of the new system in the latest issue of the journal Superconductor Science and Technology. The innovation also has another major advantage over other existing technologies in the fact that it can work extremely fast and with high accuracy. Other methods, such as nuclear magnetic spectroscopy, either take too long to scan the luggages, or are too expensive for large-scale implementation. The re!

The rapper and his posse were so vocal and determined to get up in front of the impatient audience, they even fought with security guards who were trying to prevent them from doing so. Unfortunately, when they did get up there, the sound had been cut off, MTV informs. Video of the incident has already surfaced on the Internet and, as expected, it’s getting people confused as to what to think. On the one hand, there are those who stand up for the rapper, who insist that, although he was late, he still wanted to fulfill his contractual obligations by performing. Fans in the audience can also be heard chanting his name, which can only mean X doing his bit would have been the most advantageous solution to the problem. On the other hand, though, !
there are those who say security guards were right in blocking his access on the stage, as his obligations had already not been met by showing up so late. Either way, regardless of who is right and who is not, the truth is a “mini-riot†broke out, as DMX continued in his attempts of clearing the path to the stage. At one ...

HTTP:: Apple Competition Still Playing Catch with Our First iPhone

During Apple’s FY '09 Fourth Quarter Results Conference Call with analysts, the company’s COO, Tim Cook, revealed that iPhone competitors were still years behind the latest version of its popular smartphone. "Frankly I think people are trying to catch up with the first iPhone two years ago," Cook said. "We've long since moved beyond that."Cook’s statements undoubtedly come in light of the competition’s various attempts to replicate the functionality (and sometimes, even the look) of Apple's elusive iPhone. The Android operating system is one such attempt to take a bite out of the iPhone’s market-share, but, according to AppleInsider, Google’s smartphone OS has been largely unsuccessful so far. Another example is the Motorola Droid, leaked in pictures earlier this week, and known to be running Android. Still, Peter Oppenheimer, Apple CFO, said his company was not concerned by anything rolled out by its competitors."I think it shows there is an intense appetite fo!

A new study seems to indicate the fact that, in the 19th century, Irish emigrants to England renounced baptizing their children with Catholic names such as Patrick and Bridget, our of fear that the English would discriminate against them. The research team, based at the Durham and Northumbria universities, says that this trend of altering traditional baby names for fear of prejudice and discrimination can also be seen in other parts of the world today, in growing immigrant communities in large cities. More than 30,000 records from 17 counties were studied, and the researchers noticed that the trend of giving Irish emigrant babies Catholic names went down considerably in the second-generation Irish, whereas the incidence of English Protestant names in the same category went up significantly.

Producer and rapper Timbaland is one step closer to doing the unthinkable: getting Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to appear in the upcoming video for “Morning After Dark†as the two beloved characters in the “Twilight†films, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.

Anyone can look slimmer and more toned by using a few simple artifices, like choosing clothes that flatter each body type and emphasize the strong suits, instead of blindly going for what is “trendy.†Using the right kind of accessories can also take off a few pounds, but only on the condition we choose them wisely, experts also say for the Mail.
