Wireless carrier AT&T, the telecoms service provider that owns the largest Wi-Fi network in the US, announced recently that it had registered the largest number of Wi-Fi connections on its network that had been made during a single quarter. According to the company, during the third quarter of the ongoing year, its customers made a number of 25.4 million Wi-Fi connections, much more than the total number of those made during the past year, namely 20 million, and about the same number of connections made during the first half of 2009, namely 25.6 million. It seems that the Wi-Fi connections are continuing to see impressive growth, bringing the total number of connections made on AT&T's network since the beginning of the ongoing year up to 51 million. While their number is more than double compared with the last year, it is also increasing by quarter, starting with the 5.2 million connections registered in the fourth quarter of 2008, all the way up to the record numb!

Earlier this year, Disney announced it was working on the first long feature, animated film featuring a black female character, “The Princess and the Frog,†a move received with applause by the mainstream audience.

I killed a lot of people in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, a game for which we now have a review up on the site. Yes, all of them were bad, mercenary types that dressed in drab gray or in black and that wore a much-too-heavy armor for their own good (although I suppose that it kept warm that way up there, in the Himalayas). All of them were out to also kill me. But that did not make it easier. The killing is all Hollywood-like, with little blood, very clean corpses and the advantage of picking up ammo and weapons from their bodies. But there's also civilian death in Uncharted 2, most clearly shown in the idyllic, little Sherpa village that you get to after getting shot in the gut and train wrecked. These people tend to Nathan Drake and then you, the player, take over and go out searching for the biggest treasure you have ever seen, courtesy of Marco Polo. When you return a proven war criminal has assaulted the village and seems to be murdering quite a lot of its inhabitants. !
And here Uncharted 2 misses one of its biggest chances to be a bit more than a B-quality action shot. The devastation is very real, with houses blown apart, resistance fighters gunned down and children fleeing from the face of danger. But it never really registers on him, with all the bright colors around the player and with the ur...

HTTP:: 7 Things About Windows 7 You Shouldn t Believe
--------
On October 22nd, 2009, Windows hit store shelves worldwide, and, unlike its predecessor, it was received with accolades. While stirring up user enthusiasm, Windows 7 also managed to generate a consistent number of headlines around the world. And, apparently, enthusiasm was contagious, while, at the same time, there were strong reactions to the latest Windows client release from Microsoft, and even whispers of criticism. While surfing, I came across a variety of opinions on the new operating system designed to replace Windows Vista, some stronger than others, some blatantly incorrect and then others just uninformed or unwise. I selected a collection of Windows 7 musings that I think end users should be taking with a grain of salt, and then went ahead and added my own ruminations. I will not link to the sources of the opinions included below, as I am not attempting to generate a debate, nor to criticize. I simply want to put my two cents in and nothing more. 1. Windows 7 !
is perfect - no it is not. Proof of Windows 7’s imperfection comes from the growing number of Knowledge Base articles with updates and hotfixes that Microsoft has been constantly stacking up even before General Availability this week, but after the OS was complete, namely after the July 22nd release to manufacturing deadline.

Facebook is huge, the biggest social network and one of the largest websites on the planet. It's also growing at a hefty pace with no slowdown in sight. It has 300 million users worldwide and is one of the top five sites in terms of traffic in many countries. Yet, despite all this, some stats still manage to surprise us, like the fact that Facebook is now getting one in every four pageviews in the US. That's right, a quarter of the webpages served in the US come from Facebook, quite a feat for a company that, a year ago, wasn't even a threat to the then-dominant social network, MySpace. Looking at numbers from Compete, researcher Perry Drake found that Facebook had grown to be the biggest website in the US in terms of pageviews, trumping giants like Google. While Facebook manages to get 25 percent of the page views, Google only gets about eight percent of the total monthly pageviews in the US, or one in 12.

The show, as we also reported on previous occasions, would show Jon trying to be a father to his eight children in the aftermath of the divorce, while also including his current girlfriend, Hailey Glassman.

BlackBerry Storm 2 (9550), the second smartphone the Canadian mobile-phone maker Research In Motion will deliver to the market with a touchscreen display, seems set to make an appearance on Verizon's lineup as soon as October 28 is here. The handset has been already rumored to come to Big Red on that day, with a series of leaked documents sustaining the assertion, and now a new document has popped up on the Web, showing exactly the same October 28 as the release day for the second Storm. Verizon Wireless was suspected at one moment to have delayed the launch of BlackBerry Storm 2, yet it seems that the smartphone will actually make an appearance on the carrier's offering before the end of this month. Engadget has just published a new document that shows the touchscreen-enabled device being set for launch on October 28, and also came up with a possible pricing for the phone. Those who were already waiting for the second Storm to make an appearance will certainly be glad !
to learn that it might be priced at $179.99 upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement with the carrier, and after a $100 mail-in rebate.

HTTP:: Australian Pizza Boy Becomes ATM Hacker
--------
An Australian man has managed to escape a jail sentence despite admitting to stealing nearly AU$30,000 (around US $27,700) from ATMs. According to the prosecutors, he devised the attacks using information from an ATM repair manual found on the Web. Brian Sommer, 23, from Bundaberg, Queensland, used to work in a pizza shop back in 2007, when he came across an ATM repair manual on the Internet. The document contained default passwords for accessing certain ATM models and information about their options. The young computer enthusiast realized that he could use the information to access the hard disks of ATMs and alter the settings so that he could withdraw large amounts of cash. He put his idea to test for the first time on a service station's ATM and managed to walk off with $21,120. An hour later, he hit another automated teller machine in Hervey Bay and scored $7,500. There was a flaw in Sommer's plan, though â€" it required the use of real credit cards. Therefore, in or!

Former “Baywatch†bombshell Pamela Anderson is in troubled waters right now, being sued by a construction company and a moving firm for outstanding bills.

Although she still won’t admit that she’s on the verge of bankruptcy, Pamela reveals in the new interview that she has just recently realized she can’t possibly afford the things she ordered to have done around her Malibu mansion.

Facebook is no stranger to lawsuits and, while many can be dismissed as frivolous, there are some of them that go into deeper issues.

Facebook sued the company in December last year and Power.com countersued this summer to determine the social network to open up its data to third parties. To no avail it seems, as a US District Court has dismissed the case as being too vague in its claims and allegations.

When most people say augmented reality, they immediately think about video games, where this system could make the gaming experiences much more rich. Television and movies jump to mind immediately afterwards, but researchers are now imaging a use for AR that surpasses all that. They argue that a large number of car crashes nowadays happens because of blind spots, where drivers cannot see other cars coming in from around the corner. With AR, it may be possible to make these blind spots transparent, and thus give drivers a chance to avoid disaster, NewScientist reports. The newly developed system that essentially allows you to see through walls relies on two video cameras. One of them is filming the images you would normally see, while another one films behind the obstacles, and then relays the image back to a computer.

HTTP:: Blood Cell Size Influenced by Metabolism

It is widely known among experts that smaller animals have a higher metabolic rate, which means that they essentially have to consume more food in order to be able to function. A famous example in this sense is the hummingbird, which has to consume several times its own weight in pollen each day in order to be able to move its wings so incredibly fast. According to a new scientific study, it would appear that, when supporting metabolism, the size of the blood cells truly matters. In fact, it plays a crucial role, LiveScience reports. When taking body size into account, smaller animals metabolize their nutrients faster than larger sized ones. It would appear that this simple fact is a determining factor in a very wide number of traits in the world as we know it, such as the life spans of individual species, or the dynamics of an entire ecosystem, including all its species. These concepts belong to the metabolic theory of ecology. While this is largely accepted among natura!

An investigational drug initially created for the treatment of obesity has returned great results in a study meant to determine if it also works to help the clinically obese lose weight. Not only did liraglutide, marketed under the brand name Victoza, lead to considerable weight loss, but it also fared better than orlistat, which is now available on the market as Alli, the so-called magic weight-loss drug, the Los Angeles Times says. The drug was approved for diabetes treatment in Europe last year, and is currently under review with the Food and Drug Administration in the US. It acts as an appetite suppressant, curbing the appetite, and comes with the only disadvantage that it has to be injected in the body at fixed intervals.

The Australian rating board has confirmed that the original version of Left 4 Dead 2, the zombie shooter from Valve and Electronic Arts, will not be allowed under any circumstances to be sold and marketed in the country. Its recent decision upholds the initial judgment related to the video game that said that the level of simulated violence against the Infected, which retain their human characteristic, was too high to allow the game to be sold in Australia. Valve has already submitted an edited version of Left 4 Dead 2, with some of the violence toned down, which has been approved for release with an MA 15+ rating, which means that players will be able to get the game Down Under and enjoy the new features that Valve has brought to the series. Presumably, most of the changes are related to how gore is depicted and Australian players will be able to get into multiplayer matches with no problem, although they might see less blood and bodies than players in other regions.

The Australian rating board has confirmed that the original version of Left 4 Dead 2, the zombie shooter from Valve and Electronic Arts, will not be allowed under any circumstances to be sold and marketed in the country.

HTTP:: MIT Chemist Creates Haircare Line to Put an End to Frizz
--------
All women must have had at least once in their lifetime what is known under the generic term of “a bad hair day.†For many, this can mean one of those days when the humidity in the air is so high, absolutely none of the hair products they apply can stop it from getting frizzy. Especially for them, Living Proof and MIT Professor Robert Langer have created a special line that promises to put an end to frizz. The hair loses shape and becomes frizzy when it rains or the humidity in the air is above certain limits. This happens, the Professor tells the British media, because moisture gets in the hair shaft and expands it, which, in turn, means the more damaged the hair, the more frizz. Products currently available on the market, no matter which company makes them or how expensive they are, are all based on silicone. This is also why they fail to work as promised, as the silicone does nothing in terms of keeping moisture away. The new line from Living Proof is conceived d!

Clearwire Communications, LLC, a subsidiary of Clearwire Corporation, and wireless carrier Sprint have announced on Thursday that they plan to deliver 4G mobile Internet services in a series of new markets around the United States before the end of the ongoing year, and that these services will be offered by each company under its own 4G brand. The new markets that will soon benefit from 4G services include Charlotte, Greensboro and Raleigh, North Carolina; Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth and San Antonio, Texas, all of which should see 4G available in November, as well as Honolulu and Maui, Hawaii, which will receive the service starting with early December. Additional network expansions through the markets should be seen both by consumers and by business customers, and the two companies also announced they would advertise their services properly. “The 4G customer experience from Clearwire and Sprint is unlike any other wireless service available today from any national carr!

HTTP:: Eat More Cheese and Dairy to Lose Weight

Eating more cheese and dairy products may be the key to successful and rapid weight loss, Australian researchers have learned by means of a new study. However, adding greater amounts of dairy to an already unhealthy diet will make no difference whatsoever, as the secret is to go on a low-calorie diet as well, the British publication the Daily Mail points out. Australian researchers gathered volunteers who were all put on a low-calorie diet. They were then divided in groups assigned varying quantities of dairy products. At the end of the study period, researchers found that subjects who had ingested larger quantities of cheese and dairy products had actually lost more weight than those at the opposite pole, whose consumption had been minimal. Nevertheless, as also noted above, they were all put on a low-calorie diet, and herein seems to lie the success of this type of diet. “Those who increased their daily servings of dairy products from three to five lost the most weig!
