Discovery of Fresh Water Sources in Universe

Water is source of life and it is the presence of water which makes the Earth suitable for all forms of life. There is no fresh water in other known stars and planets which is the only reason why there is no life. So far man is unable to find or trace hint of water in other planets. According to one recent study there scientist found that there is huge amount of fresh water in the universe.
The amount of water is mind blowing as it is about 100,000 time the mass of our sun and about 140 trillion times the size of all the oceans of the earth. This massive amount of fresh water is feeding huge black hole known as quasar. Quasars are luminous objects that feed on surrounding dust and gases and emits huge amount of carbon. Two international teams of astronomers are currently working at the California Institute of Technology and according to them the distance between the Earth and these fresh water sources is about 12 billion light years.

What is Graphene?, Uses of Graphene Wonder Material

Graphene the Wonder Material Review/What is Graphene?
Graphene is a wonderful material which is an allotrope of carbon. The structure of Graphene is one-atom thick planar sheets of sp-bonded carbon atoms that are densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice. So if you are simply looking for the answer of question ‘what is Graphene?’ the simple answer is, it is an allotrope of carbon.
Graphene was discovered in 2004 by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov who were awarded with Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 for their discovery. Layer of Graphene is thin that if three million sheets of Graphene are stacked one on top of the other, they would have thickness of only one millimeter.

Mind Reading Computers which can Prevent Traffic Accidents

Mind Reading Computers to prevent traffic accidents
Researchers in Berlin Institute of Technology have developed that can read human thoughts and responds in cases of emergency. It can prevent serious road accident due to its quick respond. Most of the traffic accidents occur due to delay of fraction of second. The reason is that human reaction time is not fast enough to respond quickly to the emergencies. This device is in shape of cap with two small electrodes attached with it and they provide faster responses by using EEG (electro-encephalographic) signals from brain. Other part of device is to attack with leg of driver to detect the muscle tension in lower leg. Overall this system will greatly helps to reduce the car accidents.

Google Declare War on Content Farms, New Policy against Content Farming

Google has announced a major algorithmic change to its search engine, subtle in nature and perhaps unnoticeable to many users, but one that should dramatically improve the quality of Google’s search results.With this move, Google is targeting content farms – a common name for low quality sites whose main goal is to attract search traffic by piling up (mostly) useless content, usually by either producing large amounts of low-quality text or by copying it from websites with original content.

Google does not go into details of the change which should impact 11.8% of Google’s queries (currently only in the US, with plans to roll it out elsewhere over time), but it does say that it will affect the ranking of many sites on the web.“This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites—sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on,” explain Googlers Amit Singhal and Matt Cutts in a blog post.While the change will surely have many website owners up in arms, complaining that their website was unfairly ranked lower than before (we’re sure that in some cases they will be right), it’s a very welcome one.The popularity of Google’s search engine is still second to none, but Google has been plagued by black hat SEO practices and content farms for a while now, with the complaints from users slowly mounting over time. If Google manages to put an end to content farms or at least significantly reduce their influence in search results, it will be an important step in regaining the trust of its millions of users. So it is good news that Google declare war against content farms and this new policy of google against content farming is good new for hard working bloggers . Source

Intel New Thunderbolt Data Transfer Device is Very Fast, Technology Review

Intel Thunderbolt data transfer device is recently released with huge expectations.  An Intel technology called “Thunderbolt” is creating quite a storm in the computer and gadget worlds this week. Here’s why this may matter to you: Thunderbolt will allow you to transfer photos, videos and files from other devices to a computer faster than ever before.
Think about the last time you plugged in a HD video camera to your laptop and tried to transfer your kids’ hour-long soccer game onto your hard drive. If you were using a USB cord (it looks like this) or a FireWire cable (it looks like this), that may have taken you quite some time.

intel thunderbolt data transfer device
Intel’s new Thunderbolt cable and port system claims to be 20 times faster than USB 2.0 and 12 times faster than FireWire, both of which are its main competitors.
“Thunderbolt technology can transfer a full-length HD movie in less than 30 seconds,” Intel says in a news release.
For tech-heads in the audience, Thunderbolt transfers files at a rate of 10 gigabits per second. Its closest competitor, USB 3.0, allows for file transfers at a rate of 5 gigabits per second — so Thunderbolt is twice as fast.
Here’s a big catch, though: Intel developed this technology in coordination with Apple. So, for now, it’s only available on Apple’s new MacBook Pro line, which debuted on Thursday, the same day Intel announced Thunderbolt.
Those high-end computers are pricey, ranging from $1,200 to $2,500.
Silicon Alley Insider writes that tech companies may be slow to adopt this new data-transfer platform, but that new Thunderbolt gadgets are coming:
“It’s going to be awhile before Thunderbolt becomes widely adopted, but several manufacturers have said they intend to develop new hardware that’s compatible with it. Most of the gadgets will be geared towards video and audio editing professionals, but more consumer-grade devices are sure to trickle through as the year goes on.” Intel thunderbolt device review suggests that Intel thunderbolt technology will rock the market soon.

Why Yahoo Shutdown MyBlogLog, End of MyBlogLog

MyBlogLog will be closed from 24 May 2011. Yahoo also decided to close other bookmarking services like Delicious, Yahoo Buzz, AltaVista, Yahoo Picks and Yahoo Bookmarks. Yahoo bought the MyBlogLog in 2007 for $10 million to provide blogger with easy to create community for their readers.


Social bookmarking web service Delicious will be next on Yahoo’s agenda to be closed but Yahoo says that they are looking for buyers rather than shutting down the web sites. Well closing of MyBlogLog is bad news for those bloggers who have successful communities about their blogs on MyBlogLog.

New Firefox 4 for Android is Released

Firefox 4 for Android and Nokia Maemo devices is now available in a new beta version that’s made huge leaps in terms of stability and performance. Our mobile team has had mixed experiences with earlier versions of the Firefox mobile browser, so the improvements and bug fixes are most welcome.

Some improvements include more pan/zoom responsiveness, faster booting and better page load times, the latter specifically due to JavaScript enhancements. The beta also includes features such as Firefox Sync (which lets you seamlessly carry your tabs, bookmarks and history between devices, whether those devices be mobile or desktop), tabbed browsing, Firefox add-ons and more.

Firefox for mobile is a developing area of the browser sector we’ve been following with great interest over the past year.

The browser originally launched with the codename “Fennec.” The alpha version hit the Android Market last August, and the first beta came out last October. Sadly, iPhone and iPad users will have to stick to Firefox Home for iOS for now. The Firefox Home app isn’t a browser itself, but it will help Apple mobile users get access to their Firefox bookmarks, browsing history and open tabs — all from within Mobile Safari.

Expect more (and frequent) beta updates before a final tested-and-approved version is released. In the meantime, take the browser for a spin, and let us know what you think of its performance fixes in the comments. Source
