After being selected to power Philadelphia's metropolitan Wi-Fi network some 15 months ago, EarthLink on Thursday made the first steps towards offering service by announcing it would allow for free access in the 15-square mile proof of concept area through January 21.The area extends from the Schuylkill River to the west to the Delaware River to the east, and Center City and Old City to the south and Montgomery Avenue and the Kensington areas to the north. Speeds of up to 1 Mbps would be available.Wireless-enabled laptops and desktops in the proof of concept area should be able to detect and connect to the wireless network "FeatherByEarthLink." Some customers could be eligible for a Wi-Fi modem, which would increase signal strength.After the free period, "free access zones" would still exist in several areas, including Norris Square, Olney, Love Park and the Historic District. Those wishing to access the network outside of those areas will have to sign up for an account which runs ...

Optical illusion : Rainbow and waterfall
2006-12-28 16:02:00
This optical illusion relies on a principle called "Chromatic Adaptation".An object may be viewed under various conditions. For example, it may be illuminated by the sunlight, the light of a fire, or a harsh electric light. In all of these situations, the visual system indicates that the object has the same color: an apple always appears red, whether viewed at night or during the day. This feature of the visual system is called chromatic adaptation.Have you ever entered a movie theater on a sunny afternoon? The room probably appeared completely dark but as your visual system adjusted to the reduced level of light you were able to see better after a few moments.This "adaptation mechanism" allows our eyes to recover from an oversensitivity to a particular stimuli. "Chromatic adaptation" occurs when our eyes adjust to certain color stimuli. Chromatic adaptation is one of the more easily fooled aspects of vision, and is prone to some of the most spectacular optical illusions.Original Ra...

The worst day of my life
2006-12-08 16:10:00
A little guy is sitting at the bar just staring at his drink for half an hour when this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, grabs his drink and gulps it down in one swig. The poor little guy starts crying. "Come on man, I was just giving you a hard time," says the truck driver. "I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man crying." This is the worst day of my life," says the little guy between sobs. "I can't do anything right. I overslept and was late to an important meeting, so my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car was stolen and I have no insurance. I grabbed a cab home but after the cab left, I discovered my wallet was still in the cab. At home I found my wife in bed with the gardener. So I came to this bar trying to work up the courage to put an end to my life. And then you show up and drink the damn poison."

Tired of spam in your mail box?
2006-12-04 03:48:00
Maybe you want to sign up for a site which requires that you provide an e-mail address to send a validation e-mail to. And maybe you don't want to give up your real e-mail address and end up on a bunch of spam lists.there is a tendency among web sites to ask for your e-mail in order to track you down somehow or keep statistics of their own. For example, want to download something? give us your e-mail! This doesn't seem so bad at first but wait a minute! Giving away your address lets them know where they can reach you. And unfortunately a great deal of them takes advantage of that. For starters they decide to subscribe you to their mailing list, sending your their daily or weekly newsletter. Others sell your address to marketing firms which in turn use it to promote their customers' products.In the end you end up with a dozen or so e-mails a day in your Inbox that you don't care and never asked for. What can you do?I came across two website which can help you and escape from such...

Statue attack sparks Hindu riots in Mumbai
2006-11-30 15:18:00
Thousands of low-caste Hindus attacked police, vehicles and shut shops in India's financial hub Mumbai on Thursday to protest against the desecration of a statue of their leader and founder of the constitution.Violence also flared in several towns across the western state of Maharashtra, where protesters burnt buses and threw stones at passing traffic, injuring dozens of people.Protesters said they were angry that a statue of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, a low-caste Hindu who authored India's democratic constitution that prohibits caste-based discrimination, had been damaged on Wednesday in Uttar Pradesh state."We want police to arrest those who broke Baba Saheb's (Ambedkar's) statue. Otherwise, we will burn Maharashtra," a man shouted at reporters before being dragged away by police in Mumbai. Ambedkar was born in Maharashtra and Mumbai is the capital. "There are reports of some sporadic incidents. However, things are under control," said Arup Pattnaik, Mumbai police joint comm...

Apple 'iPhone'
2006-11-21 16:43:00
The long-rumored arrival of a hybrid mobile phone and iPod music player from Apple Computer Inc. has morphed from a question of "If" to "When" among fans and analysts.Since Apple's introduction of the iPod five years ago, the company has sold more than 67 million of the devices and more than 1.5 billion songs from its iTunes online music store.Now, Chief Executive Steve Jobs and Apple are poised to roll out what has been dubbed the "iPhone ," perhaps as soon as January next year at the Macworld conference that kicks off every new year, analysts say."From a technical standpoint, the phone is pretty much done," said American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu. "It's a big endeavor and we believe it's beyond speculation.""There is a lot of buzz," said Gartner analyst Mike McGuire. "But there are also a lot of things in the way that make it difficult. Which carrier and the like they use are not trivial challenges."Jobs and Apple are famously tight-lipped about unannounced products. B...

UCLA Student shot with Taser by UCPD officers
2006-11-17 01:01:00
An incident late Tuesday night in which a UCLA student was stunned at least four times with a Taser has left the UCLA community questioning whether the university police officers' use of force was an appropriate response to the situation.Mostafa Tabatabainejad, a UCLA student, was repeatedly stunned with a Taser and then taken into custody when he did not exit the CLICC Lab in Powell Library in a timely manner. Community Service Officers had asked Tabatabainejad to leave after he failed to produce his BruinCard during a random check at around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.UCPD Assistant Chief of Police Jeff Young said the checks are a standard procedure in the library after 11 p.m."Because of the safety of the students we limit the use after 11 to just students, staff and faculty," Young said.

Physics promises wireless power
2006-11-15 17:37:00
The tangle of cables and plugs needed to recharge today's electronic gadgets could soon be a thing of the past.US researchers have outlined a relatively simple system that could deliver power to devices such as laptop computers or MP3 players without wires.How Wireless energy could work??Resonance. a phenomenon that causes an object to vibrate when energy of a certain frequency is applied.Instead of using acoustic vibrations, the researcher's exploits the resonance of electromagnetic waves. Electromagneticradiation includes radio waves, infrared and X-rays. Typically, systems that use electromagnetic radiation,such as radio antennas, are not suitable for the efficient transfer ofenergy because they scatter energy in all directions, wasting largeamounts of it into free space. To overcome this problem, the team investigated aspecial class of "non-radiative" objects with so-called "long-livedresonances".Hence, a simple copper antenna designed to havelong-lived resonance could transfe...

Zune Reviews: It's OK, But No iPod
2006-11-11 03:18:00
Zune arrives next Tuesday, Microsoft was hoping to make a big splash. However, it won't be getting any help from the technology media, which have for the most part passed over the so-called "iPod killer" in lackluster reviews.These are the few negative points i found just giving outline of it.The bad news begins with the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg, who called the Zune's hardware "rushed and incomplete." He pointed to both the fairly significantly larger size and poor battery life. He also notes that the larger screen doesn't mean better resolution than the iPod - just a bigger picture.Additionally, Mossberg points out the smaller size of the Zune music store, and its lack of TV shows, movies or music videos as well as audiobooks and podcasts as drawbacks. Mossberg also criticized the Microsoft Points system, which is required to make purchases for the Zune, calling it deceptive.The iPod is thin, sleek and elegant looking. The Zune looks big and blocky, sort of like a pr...
