HTTP:: Download Free Windows 7 Product Guide
--------
Following the worldwide launch of Windows 7, Microsoft has made available a resource designed to give customers an insight into the operating system. The successor of Windows Vista hit store shelves on October 22nd, 2009, and in concert with the actual bits, the Redmond company released the Windows 7 Product Guide.

HTTP:: Michael Jackson s Children Are in Therapy
--------
Michael Jackson’s three children have all found their own ways of dealing with the sudden death of their only caring parent, La Toya Jackson says, as cited by ABC News. Still, since this is an event that a child can hardly cope with on his or her own, a counselor has also been hired to talk them through this difficult time of their life when they have to deal with the loss of their father. According to sister La Toya, who has recently been making all headlines for her comments on the circumstances around Michael’s mysterious death and especially on how she still stays in contact with him with the help of his macaw, the children are OK â€" or, at least, as OK as they can be in these circumstances. They’ve yet to learn to deal with their father’s death but at least they’re trying and, more important, also receiving professional help with it. “Blanket is just a very sad, shy little boy.

Pingie: HTTP:: Panda Cloud Antivirus New Release

HTTP:: Panda Cloud Antivirus New Release
--------
After a period of hard work from both hardcore beta-testers and the Panda Security division shaping out the new generation of antivirus of the company, the third beta of Panda Cloud Antivirus is out and ready to protect your system. The application targets home users and strives to offer the best protection with a minimum effort from the user and little impact on system resources. The main feature of this intermediary build is that it integrates perfectly in Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit), but it also brings a new set of fixes and improvements. Performance-wise, the antivirus no longer pops the Internet connectivity message and reduced system resource usage during scans. The interface has not been left untouched and now you have different scan types available (full scan, which used to get stuck at a certain percentage, has been replaced by a quick scan, which checks the malware-magnet areas of the system). Functionality has been improved a lot, although the main lines!
have been preserved. However, despite all the improvements and fixes applied, there are still some problems. During our testing we noticed that a very small amount of the detected and neutralized items were displayed in the Recycle Bin. If you want to view the full list of malware discovered by Panda Cloud Antivirus, it can be found in the ...

HTTP:: Fable 2 Pub Games Gets a 50 Percent Discount
--------
Microsoft doesn't really seem to know what else it can do with Fable 2 in order to make sure every last drop of potential has been milked from the game. Not so long ago, it re-released the title in an episodic format and, now, it plans to make a move with the Fable 2 Pub Games. It probably doesn't really matter to the company that nobody really seems to want the game, it plans to go through with the idea anyway. Fable 2 Pub Games will get a 50-percent discount for next week, and a dropped price from 800 Microsoft Points or $10 to 400 points or $5. All three casino games from Fable 2 will be available in Pub Games, including Keystone, Fortune's Tower and the Spinnerbox. The one trick of the Pub is that the money you win, but also that which you lose, will be part of your Fable 2 funds. With that in mind, the whole idea is pretty bad. The only way you can lose money in the RPG is to buy something, so you trade in an impossible loss for the thrill of the risk and a gain tha!

HTTP:: Intel Aims for Sub 299 Nettops with Dual Core Atom D510 Processors
--------
As NVIDIA, Intel is also preparing to roll out a new platform that will be used in the upcoming wave of low-power, low-cost computer systems, better known as netbooks and nettops. While netbooks are more popular than nettops, due to their portable form factor, the latter do manage to gain a significant amount of interest from computer users. On that note, Intel's Atom refresh will also include a new Atom D510, dual-core processor that will be paired with a new southbridge and is expected to enable manufacturers to built sub US$299 nettops.According to Fudzilla, Intel has already advised its partners to design Atom-based nettops that can be used for instant messaging, email, web browsing and music listening. Such a system can be designed on the company's upcoming dual-core Atom D510, which will be paired with the NM10 southbridge. Said to go for under US$299, the nettop will take advantage of the processor's integrated graphics core, which is reportedly going to be branded t!
he GMA 3150.Additional features of said nettop design will include a 160GB hard drive and 1GB of memory, while an optional DVD drive can also be made available, without going over the aforementioned price point, according to Intel. The choice for the operating system is either Windows 7 or Linux, although choosing Wi...

Jon Gosselin is not alone in dreaming of a career in television once “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” the reality show that made him and his soon to be ex-wife stars, ends. Kate too wants to remain in the spotlight and a career on the small screen is the obvious choice for that to happen. Of course, she’s also eyeing a debut in feature films, saying in a recent interview cited by People that she wouldn’t mind becoming an actress if luck would so have it. As we also informed you a couple of days ago, Kate appeared on a one-hour special on TLC on Monday to answer questions from viewers and talk a bit about her plans for the future, meaning once the show came to an end in mid-November. During the interview, in which Kate promised she would do her best to answer “all” questions, she also mentioned an intention of making the move from television to film, granted she came across the right offer. “Answering what she described as ‘any and all reasonable questions’ on !

The company is offering a range of cloud services to cater to the needs of developers or companies that don't want the hassle of managing their own infrastructure. Up till now Amazon offered cloud storage with the S3 service, cloud computing with EC2 and a non-relational database cloud with SimpleDB but it is now finally launching a fully fledged relational database service with Amazon RDS. “Every hour that you don't spend fiddling with hardware, tracing cables, installing operating systems or managing databases is an hour that you can spend on the unique and value-added aspects of your application,” Amazon announced. “Today I'd like to tell you about our newest service, the Amazon Relational Database Service, or Amazon RDS for short.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom had been dating for merely a month when they announced plans to get married, prompting much talk of a media stunt or a clear case of gold-digging on her behalf. Now legally married and with a prenup that settles all possible financial disputes between them in the eventuality of a divorce, the two have decided to mark their undying love with new ink, as Khloe herself reveals on her official webpage. She is no stranger to tattoos, though, she tells her fans. She already has an “I Love You” on her wrist in her father’s name â€" the late attorney Kardashian who got O.J. Simpson out of jail and who passed away in 2003 â€" and another tattoo on her lower back, also in memory of her late father. Getting new ink to celebrate the joy of being Lamar’s wife was the next step, she says, although neither she nor the Los Angeles Lakers star planned beforehand. “Hi dolls!

They’re both young and incredibly cute, if we’re to believe the fans. They’re also very famous and, what’s even better, they’re just at the beginning of the road from a professional standpoint. It’s no wonder then that Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner are seen by many as the ideal couple, especially in light of their recent hockey date, as People puts it. The singer, 19, picked up the “Twilight” sensation, 17, straight from the airport and then took him directly to the game. The two Taylors left together (of course) and then presumably spent more time away from the prying cameras of the paparazzi. This, combined with reports dating back when they were still shooting for “Valentine’s Day,” is more than enough to make some fans believe that this could be the beginning of a very beautiful romance. “It was Taylor times two on Sunday when Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift were spotted together attending a hockey game in LA.

Pingie: HTTP:: Graphene Sheet in Oil Wells Could Make All the Difference

HTTP:: Graphene Sheet in Oil Wells Could Make All the Difference
--------
The economic factor is one of the main things that dictate whether an oil well will be opened or not, economists say. Experts at the Rice University have recently entered a new research effort, aimed at producing a nanometer-thick layer of graphene that would constitute an additive for average drilling bits. The innovation, which the RU team is working on together with colleagues from Houston-based M-I SWACO, could make all the difference between oil wells that make a substantial profit and those that barely pay for themselves, the university reveals in a press release. The main purpose of the graphene additive will be to create a thin filter cake on the walls of the boreholes, and to keep all pores in their surroundings open. This may ensure a clear and steady oil flow from the underground deposits to the surface, and eliminate the need for very cost-intensive maintenance work. Only trace amounts of additives will have to be added to the barrels containing the average dr!

The market for computer graphics is currently dominated by three leading companies, NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. While the first two compete in the desktop GPU segment, all three can provide integrated graphics solutions. However, there are other players in this growing market, such as S3 Graphics, a company that has announced today the debut of its new Chrome 5400E embedded graphics processor, designed with a native OpenCL 1.0 engine and support for the latest operating systems, including Microsoft's recently launched Windows 7 OS.According to the chip maker, the new 5400E architecture has been designed to provide support for DirectX 10.1 graphics and has been featured with a Shader Model 4.1, OpenGL 3.1 and Openl CL 1.0. The GPU is designed on a 65nm process technology and can support a number of memory configurations, including DDR2, GDDR3 and gDDR3, with the latter operating at 1.50V, consequently delivering a reduced power consumption when compared with GDDR3 and DDR2 standa!

The new one follows the COM4 and COM3, Build 23060 and Build 23420, respectively, and is said to come around with some rather interesting changes. When compared to the previously spotted Windows Mobile 6.5 Build 23060, the new Windows Mobile 6.5 Build 23502 is said to be more responsive, while also proving to be more stable and much faster than both the previously leaked COM3 and COM4.

Provided that the Microsoft Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) is installed on a Windows 7 computer, customers will be able to leverage a number of 456 core cmdlets for Windows PowerShell 2.0.

--------
Flower, Sun, and Rain follows Sumio Mondo, a man whose job is to find whatever it is that people lose. After he fails to defuse a bomb placed in an airport, Sumio ends up relieving the same day over and over again, continuously being forced to face his failure. The game seems to follow the classic story of “Ground Hog Day,” so, if the idea seems to be really exciting, 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. Sumio has a partner, “Catherine,” his trusty briefcase that can crack open any mystery. After discovering the appropriate jack for every object in which you must input the right code, you'll be able to unlock the item and reveal the secret hidden within. The bad thing is that most of these codes are found by guessing and clues are rarely offered. Th!

Sure enough, Apple makes a good point in its latest Get a Mac ads targeting PC users’ upgrade to Windows 7. However, we have overlooked one tiny aspect about Apple’s own upgrade to Snow Leopard, and the company seems to act like nothing ever happened. You guessed it - it’s the data-eating bug affecting users who unknowingly upgraded to "the most advanced" OS out there only to find their user accounts wiped clean. After watching Apple’s latest Get a Mac ads, which capitalize on some of the fuss surrounding the Windows 7 upgrade process, we figured Apple was going to have another good Get-a-Mac year. Adding those angry comments over at Microsoft’s forum, I had just about every reason to laud Apple for the way it handled its customers and, implicitly, its business. However, while the ads don’t lie, Apple had quite a nerve posting them before addressing one of the most serious bugs ever to plague Mac OS X. Ironically, the bug affects those who upgraded to Snow Leo!

--------
Over the next decade, as new-generation telescopes will be built around the world, scientists will need to keep an eye on all datasets that come out of these machines, interpret them, analyze them, and then draw conclusions based on them. But everyone agrees that this is a fantasy, something that will be impossible to do in reality. The amounts of data collected by the new observatories will be massive, summing up to quadrillions of bytes. Only an automated program will be able to peer through all the data, and draw conclusions based on them, scientists say. This has been the case for many years now, ever since modern telescopes have become common. Observation arrays, such as radio telescopes, also produce massive amounts of data, which are then deciphered jointly by humans and computers. But astronomers say that, in the near future, humans will no longer play a part in the process. They advocate the necessity of designing new types of software that could not only peer thro!
ugh the information at high speeds and discover new exoplanets and black holes (among other things), but also find more widespread, general astrophysical phenomena that were never before observed.

For the first time in the history of the American space agency, the Kennedy Space Center has two completely different rockets poised for take-off at their respective launch pads. Both of the designs already carry, or will carry in the near future, astronauts to the low-Earth orbit, or other destinations closer to home. At Launch Pad 39A, the space shuttle Atlantis patiently awaits for its November 16 flight, while, at the other pad, the prototype ARES I-X is poised for its launch today, at 8 am EDT (1200 GMT). There is a 40-percent chance that the weather will allow for the launch to go on, Space reports. Weather officials at the space center alerted mission controllers two days ago that there was a significant chance the spacecraft would not be able to perform its suborbital test flight today. “Our weather on Tuesday is going to be a little bit of a problem. I feel more optimistic about Wednesday than Tuesday,” weather officer Kathy Winters said on Sunday. The weat!

HTTP:: Infrared Analysis of Molecules to Spawn New Drugs
--------
In a groundbreaking, new discovery that has the potential to change the methodology of biomolecular studies around the world, scientists have managed to create a new investigation method for looking inside protein molecules and at how they bind with each other. The research could lead to the creation of a number of new drugs, all based on an entirely different type of chemical reaction than existing therapies. The early treatment of complex diseases may also become possible, in addition to new diagnostics methods. The new method “allows identification of a protein by directly analyzing its vibrational fingerprint signatures. It may lead to a new toolkit for studying biomolecules,” Boston University Assistant Engineering Professor Hatice Altug says. The expert has also been the leader of a new team, comprising scientists from Boston and the Tuffts University. Even very small protein clusters emit a unique signature, known as a “vibrational fingerprint.” The new inf!

Each and every one of us has thought at some point that the things we hold dear are among the most interesting out there in and of themselves, and that the hobbies and interests that other people have are somehow not that interesting, or straight-out boring. In other words, we view things from a different perspective than those around us do, Caspar Hare, an assistant professor in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Department of Linguistics and Philosophy, says. The expert proposes a simple exercise. Consider that 100,000 people will suffer an epilepsy seizure tomorrow. The news is very unlikely to interest you. However, things change considerably if you are to be among the 100,000 victims. Suddenly, the knowledge gains new meaning, and your interest in it goes through the roof. “You regard your own pleasures and pains as being especially significant. We have a tendency to think that what we care about is important in and of itself,” Hare says. The thing !
is that no one can claim that their interests or opinions are uncontroversial facts, something that is as clear as life itself. An individual's well-being is therefore not something uniquely meaningful, except when viewed through that person's own eyes.

--------
One of the most comprehensive studies of personal assistants carried in the United Kingdom over the past few years has determined that secretaries are still called on by their bosses to perform tasks that go “beyond the call of duty,” such as purchasing personal items for their employers, calling their friends with personal news, and even booking a back wax. Katie Truss and Rosemary Parr, both professors at the Kingston University, have been the leaders of the new investigation, AlphaGalileo reports. Parr is also the founder of Global PA Network, a training and development company. The team has determined that today's secretaries, while indeed assigned more high-importance tasks, and being better educated than in the past, are still called upon to do things that are not by far in their job description. Many of them are also under-evaluated, under-appreciated, and bullied at the workplace, the same study has revealed. This happens in spite of the fact that they perform!
better, on average, than their predecessors. The opinions of more than 1,000 personal assistants and secretaries were taken into account in the new paper, which was compiled by Ms Parr and Professor Truss, who is also the director of Kingston University's Center for Research in Employment, Skills and Society.

HTTP:: Butterflies Have Ears on Their Wings
--------
The fact that butterflies had ears remained a mystery to science until 1912, when the first such structures were ever identified. Since then, researchers have analyzed them on all sides, and have discovered that the organs, far from being similar in all butterfly species, were in fact extremely diverse and different. The latest insect to reveal its ears was the blue morpho butterfly (Morpho peleides), a species of butterfly that carries its listening apparatus on its wings. Scientists believe that it uses them in order to recognize the threats from incoming or nearby birds, LiveScience reports. The tiny ears are perfectly capable of making out both high-pitch and low-pitch sounds, and it may be possible that the butterflies are actually able to identify various species of birds, if they know the noises that their wings make. Several bird species have distinct flapping sounds. The blue morpho was the last in a series of butterflies that was studied for ears. Not all specie!
s have them, but this one, which amazes people through its beautiful coloring, has its tympanal membrane located at the base of the wing. The structure resembles a yolk at the center of a fried egg, the leader of the new research, University of Bristol expert Kathleen Lucas, says.

Scientists in the United kingdom are working on creating a new type of paint that could be applied as a coating of the normal stuff, but would have the ability to render chemical attacks useless. The research work associated with producing the new asset is being done at the UK Defense Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), the BBC News reports. The new paint is made in the form of strips, similar to the coatings that the military currently uses to apply temporary camouflage to its vehicles. The main goal of this innovative technology is to allow vehicles to essentially soak up dangerous chemicals from the air in the event of a chemical attack, making the environment around the APC or transporter safe for its occupants. In the future, DSTL experts say, it may become possible to outfit the new paint coatings with enzymes and catalysts that would allow them to interact with the chemical they soak up, and thus decontaminate themselves. “Ultimately, what we'd like to cr!

Romanticism will never die, but that’s not stopping British researchers from trying to come up with a recipe for the perfect marriage. Said recipe is said to be as efficient as it’s completely devoid of all the things that poets love to write about: in short, it implies the wife has to be at least five years younger than the husband and smarter than him. At the same time, history of divorce downsizes chances of success, the BBC writes. The perfect model of a long-lasting relationship that can evolve into a successful marriage is that of R&B singer Beyonce and rapper and music producer Jay-Z. According to the recently developed formula, these two will stand the test of time, as Beyonce is younger than Jay-Z, while also being smarter, in that she has a high-school diploma and he doesn’t. Another important aspect is that neither was married and divorced before. Published in the European Journal of Operational Research and conducted by Dr. Emmanuel Fragniere, the s!
tudy looked at over 1,500 couples, married or in a serious relationship. Five years later, researchers interviewed the couples again to see which lasted and what those that lasted had in common.

Killzone 2 was not the hit that Sony hoped it to be. It sold pretty well, but not enough for a big-budget PS3 exclusive. Some players complained about the lack of a cooperative mode, about the rather clunky controls and about the stereotypical plot advancement. It was a solid shooter, but it really did not manage to bring anything new to the genre. Still, it seems Sony and Guerrilla are interested in more of the series, with the new game potentially coming out in 2010. The United States edition of the Official PlayStation Magazine has a feature entitled The Secret game of 2010, and one paragraph of it reads, “”Insider slips reveal three big names you can already pencil for the next year [...] Killzone 3 is reportedly deep in development.” It's interesting to note that the magazine, by its nature, has more access to Sony and its development studios than other outlets and that it uses the word “deep,” which suggests that, maybe, the third installment in the series !
was already in development alongside the second, using mostly the same technology and offering a different plot line.

It wasn’t long ago that one economist set out to prove the world that having children wasn’t the way to happiness for married couples, but rather their way of deceiving themselves about what life had in store for them. Despite this, a new study comes to show that children do actually bring happiness and satisfaction in married life, with researchers establishing a clear connection between the number of children and the level of satisfaction of the two partners, as Alpha Galileo informs. Married with children seems to be the key to happiness, researchers at the University of Glasgow in the UK, led by Dr. Luis Angeles, have learned. The findings of the study have also been published online in Springer’s Journal of Happiness Studies, and they indicate that the more children the better. What this means to say is that researchers have found a direct link between the number of children a married couple has and the levels of satisfaction of the parents. Oppositely, unmar!
