On this video you will see how the Philippine President losses her temper when she finds that the staff aren't prepared for her taping. So is this really the president show casing her anger management skills, just look at the video and you be the judge.

"This is our smallest processor built with the world's smallest transistors. The Intel® Atom™ processor is based on an entirely new design, built for low power and designed specifically for a new wave of Mobile Internet Devices and simple, low-cost PC's. This small wonder is a fundamental new shift in design, small yet powerful enough to enable a big Internet experience on these new devices. We believe it will unleash new innovation across the industry."
Michael Phelps is truly a son of Poseidon the Greek god of the Sea, so why did i say this? Well he just broke all the records in swimming competition, an unprecedented record an Olympian can make in Beijing Olympics, he even surpassed the records of Mark Spitz on the most number of Olympic Medals.
"Everything went as planned. Everything went as I wanted to," Phelps told CBC Sports. "I couldn't have asked for anything different.
"It's a dream come true."
Intel will start to roll next month its new technology called Remote Wake - the ability for a computer to be turned on from sleep mode remotely. Applications that have already been designed around this technology include PC-based phone service and content delivery.
Remote Wake underscores another facet of computing: the evolution of the PC into a media center. "Intel is smart enough to know which direction the industry is headed," Robert Levitan, CEO of Pando Networks, a content delivery company that is partnering with Intel, told TechNewsWorld. "This technology enables the PC to stay in sleep mode until needed, and then it can receive media."

VMware re-issues ESX 3.5 Update 2 to remove embarassing timebomb by ZDNet's Paula Rooney -- VMware released today a refresh of its recently released ESX 3.5 and ESX 3.5i Update 2 software that eliminates the embrassing timebomb that killed the software’s use on Aug 12. The code was in the beta, and was designed to pull the plug on the software’s use after the final version shipped so that customers would [...]
This woman pays £25,000 for South Korean scientists to create five identical copies of beloved pit bull terrier.
According to the Guardian.
Geneticists today unveiled five identical copies of Booger the pit bull terrier created for his American owner. The five clones cost Bernann McKinney, a Californian-based farmer, £25,000 ($50,000) and were well worth it, she said at a press conference in the South Korean capital, Seoul, where the announcement was made.
"Booger was my partner and my friend," McKinney said, as she collected the five puppies, named Booger Bernann, Booger Ra, Booger Lee, Booger Hong and Booger Park.
A Spherical Camera Sensor
Reported by : Kate Greene
The curved sensor has properties that are found in eyes, such as a wide field of view, that can't be produced in digital cameras without a lot of complexity, says John Rogers, lead researcher on the project. "One of the most prominent [features of the human eye] is that the detector surface of the retina is not planar like the digital chip in a camera," he says. "The consequence of that is [that] the optics are well suited to forming high-quality images even with simple imaging elements, such as the single lens of the cornea."
The key to the spherical camera is a sensor array that can withstand a curve of about 50 percent of its original shape without breaking, allowing it to be removed from the stiff wafer on which it was originally fabricated and transferred to a rubberlike surface. "Doing that requires more than just making the detector flexible," says Rogers. "You can't just wrap a sphere with a sheet of paper. You need stretchability in order to do a geometry transformation."

Sun Microsystems is now joining the party with its own take on the LAMP stack -- one that could pose a challenge to the LAMP offerings from Linux vendors, since it's aimed at users of Linux as well as Sun Solaris. Eventually, it will support Windows and Mac OS X, too.
Officially called the Web Stack by Sun, the new enterprise "AMP" (Apache, MySQL and PHP) stack also aims to create a new revenue stream from Linux for Sun.
"We've now made the commitment to provide full enterprise support for the AMP stack on Solaris and Linux this year and probably early next year, on Windows and Mac OS X," Ken Drachnik, community development and marketing manager for Sun's open source group, told InternetNews.com.
Not all flavors of Linux will be supported initially, however. Drachnik said Sun would first provide the Web Stack on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, with other distributions, like Ubuntu Linux, to follow.
This is a project computer created by Winston to inspire other modders to create even better lego PCs or Macs.

Report From Miles O'Brien and Kate Tobin (CNN).
NASA's Phoenix lander has discovered a toxic chemical in soil near Mars' north pole, dimming hopes for finding life on the Red Planet, the probe's operators said Monday.
The new findings from Phoenix cast into further doubt the possibility that life exists on Mars' surface. But they do not rule out the possibility that life once existed, nor do they necessarily rule out the possibility of life existing now, perhaps in a deep underground aquifer.

Chris Maxcer writes in his column in MACNewsWorld.
The hints Apple dropped during its latest financial open house have had the company's fans guessing about what the "wonderful new products" in line to launch soon will be. One attractive possibility: A glass touchpad for the MacBook that looks, acts and feels just like the multi-touch interface found on the iPhone and iPod touch. Such a development would blow other laptops out of the water.
He believes Apple could be readying a touchscreen MacBook, albeit a mini MacBook. While lots of people have been waiting for a Mac tablet, few seem to think the market is ready for such a device. But what about a tiny laptop? Asustek's EeePC has been doing surprisingly well, and Apple must certainly have noticed.
If you're concerned about what your kids can see on the Internet as well as how much time they spend browsing, you may be interested in how Vista expands parental control of their PC. The parental controls built into Windows Vista are designed to help parents manage what their children can do on the computer.
In Vista's parental controls, you can not only block inappropriate Websites, but also limit time spent playing games, using instant messaging software and browsing the Internet, as well as limit access to software applications such as Quicken. Plus, you can monitor how your kids use the PC through via activity reports.
I recommend that you set up a user account for each child (older kids have different permissions from younger ones) and then administer each through a main account that is run by the parent using a difficult password with more than 8 characters and numbers to dissuade your child from discovering the administration account.
