Surf the Google Earth's Ionosphere
2008-05-02 14:54:00
NASA-funded researchers released to the general public a new "4D" live model of Earth's ionosphere. Without leaving home, anyone can fly through the layer of ionized gas that encircles Earth at the edge of space itself. All that's required is a connection to the Internet.The ionosphere is, in a sense, our planet's final frontier. It is the last wisp of Earth's atmosphere that astronauts leave behind when they enter space. The realm of the ionosphere stretches from 50 to 500 miles above Earth's surface where the atmosphere thins to near-vacuum and exposes itself to the fury of the sun. Solar ultraviolet radiation breaks apart molecules and atoms creating a globe-straddling haze of electrons and ions.In order to use Earth Space 4-D, you first must install Google Earth on your computer (both Earth Space 4-D and Google Earth are free). Second, you follow the simple instructions listed on the Communication Alert and Prediction System (CAPS) Web page.Via: Arrl.org; Nasa

Photoshop online editing tool for free
2008-03-29 08:46:00
Adobe Systems launched a new photo-editing website Thursday that blends its popular Photoshop software with the ease and community of social networks.Photoshop Express which is now open to everyone as a "beta" test version, strips away both the complexity and the price tag of the original Photoshop. This free web-based editor offers tools for one-click cropping, color adjusting, and sharing.Those familiar with Photoshop Elements 6 will be in familiar territory using Express, but there are two vital differences between the tools. First, Express is not a desktop application at all, but a Flash-based website.It forms the latest part of Adobe's campaign to develop online tools that has seen it buy up the online word processor Buzzword, and means that users can access and edit their saved files from any computer with an internet connection, simply by logging in.The second and perhaps most important difference is that Photoshop Express is completely free.

Microsoft Corp announced on Thursday it will offer a free downloadable video game to users of its Xbox online gaming service after the network was plagued with connection troubles over the holidays.

A Big List of Sites That Teach You How To Do Stuff
2007-12-25 19:48:00
With all due respect to Kevin Smith, the web is no longer only for complaining about movies. In fact, there are a large number of very helpful sites that teach you how to do things. These are do-it-yourself sites, but we're not talking about building a deck or baking a cake -- the web is full of more general interest sites that give quality instruction on all sorts of fun and useful projects. Including, sometimes, how to build a deck or bake a cake. In this horribly-titled, but hopefully useful round-up we will specifically focus on such general purpose sites that include some sort of rich media instruction (generally video). We also might throw in a tech-focused site or two, since this is after all, a tech-focused blog. If you know of any instructional sites that are missing from this list, please mention them in the comments below.

Because of the company’s enormous growth [doubling each year with 200 new employees every week], Google has been looking at other ways to make the hiring process smoother and more successful. Previously known for only hiring ‘top of the class’ graduates with no less than a 3.7 grade-point average, they are looking at alternatives to finding more well-rounded individuals. ?As we get bigger, we find it harder and harder to find enough people,? said Laszlo Bock, Google?s vice president for people operations. ?With traditional hiring methods, we were worried we will overlook some of the best candidates.? Now with a complex 300 question survey, Google hopes to get the right people, not necessarily the most book-smart. ?We wanted to cast a very wide net,? Mr. Bock said. ?It is not unusual to walk the halls here and bump into dogs. Maybe people who own dogs have some personality trait that is useful.? ?More and more in the time I?ve been here, we hire people based on ex...
