alphadogg writes "Researchers at the University of Maryland say they have
discovered [0]a material to replace lead, a potential environmental
hazard, in electronics products. The material, bismuth samarium ferrite
(BSFO), was found by researchers in the university's A. James Clark
School of Engineering. It can be used in products such as biomedical
imaging devices and inkjet printers, and if implemented commercially
could keep lead out of landfills and the ecosystem, they say. While
manufacturers have developed replacements for lead in many products,
until now no commercial replacement existed for lead zirconate titanate
(PZT) ?€? the material of choice for transducers, actuators, sensors and
microelectromechanical systems used in common electronic devices, the
university says."

[0]Roland Piquepaille writes "In recent months, the concept of 'cloud
computing' was all the buzz. European researchers think about another
name, the World Wide Grid, which could run on top of the Internet. In an
article to appear soon, [1]ICT Results will report about the g-Eclipse
project. As the scientists said, 'the g-Eclipse project aims to build an
integrated workbench framework to access the power of existing Grid
infrastructures. The framework will be built on top of the reliable
eco-system of the Eclipse community to enable a sustainable development.'
The project started in July 2006 and was successfully completed in June
2008 for a total cost of ???2.5 million, including a EU contribution of
???1.96 million."

[0]coondoggie writes "NASA is trying to decide between [1]eight space
exploration missions that include further exploring Venus and comet
composition as well landing on an asteroid or examining the space around
Jupiter. The space agency today began accepting solicitations for these
space exploration opportunities and will ultimately pick one of them to
begin perusing in 2009 with a launch date targeted at 2018. The
solicitations and ultimate expedition are part of NASA's New Frontiers
program, which has as its main objective to explore the solar system with
medium-class spacecraft missions that will conduct high-quality, focused
scientific investigations, NASA said. The first New Frontiers mission was
selected in 2003 and will result in the launch of Juno, a Jupiter polar
orbiter mission set to blast off in 2011."

Today, Microsoft [0]launched the New Xbox Experience for Xbox Live. The
[1]list of new features includes the streaming of TV shows and movies
through Netflix, the ability to install games to the HDD, an avatar
system, and the [2]Community Games platform. The launch itself was
[3]shaky at first, but [4]most issues have been smoothed out. Sony-owned
Columbia Pictures [5]immediately pulled their movie selection, though it
[6]may return when a licensing deal gets worked out. Halo 3 developer
Bungie pointed out that [7]not all games will run faster when installed
to a HDD because of the way the games already interact with the drive.

financial report, [1]questions have been raised by the IRS, who are due
to perform an audit on the non-profit organization behind the massively
popular Firefox browser. Last year, the Foundation received $66 million
of its total $75 million revenue (88 percent) from search engine maestros
Google, so the IRS are looking for blood over the organization's tax
exempt status. Back in 2006, Mozilla got $59.5 million from Google ?€?
around 85 percent of the organization's revenue. Google and Mozilla are
part of a 'you scratch my back, I'll pay your bills' sort of agreement,
with the Google search bar firmly placed in the toolbar, and on the
default homepage. Things were a bit rocky a couple of months back when
Google unveiled the Beta-run of its Chrome browser, but Mozilla and
Google hugged it out and sealed a deal that will last for another three
years. That deal will expire in November 2011."

virtual world, Lively, by the end of the year. This makes Lively one of
Google's few scrapped products, and one of the most short-lived, too,
barely lasting 6 months. No official reason was given, only that Google
wants to 'prioritize [its] resources and focus more on [its] core search,
ads and apps business.' Lively might have taken too much and given back
too little, even by Google's standards."

Blue's News pointed out a report about a study sponsored by the MacArthur
Foundation which found that [0]online gaming and social networking are
beneficial to children, teaching them basic technical skills and how to
communicate in the Information Age. The study was conducted over a period
of three years, with researchers interviewing hundreds of children and
monitoring thousands of hours of online time. The [1]full white paper
(PDF) is also available. "For a minority of children, the casual use of
social media served as a springboard to them gaining technological
expertise ?€? labeled in the study as 'geeking out,' the researchers said.
By asking friends or getting help from people met through online groups,
some children learned to adjust the software code underpinning some of
the video games they played, edit videos and fix computer hardware. Given
that the use of social media serves as inspiration to learning, schools
should abandon their hostility and support children when they want to
learn some skills more sophisticated than simply designing their Facebook
page, the study said."

opponents.) For that reason, perhaps network neutrality legislation isn't

prevent competing apps like [4]Songbird and [5]Banshee from talking to
iPods/iPhones. BTW, don't tell Apple, but the project uses a wiki, so the

somanyrobots writes with an interesting followup in the New York Times to
the earlier-reported [0]substantial reconstruction of the woolly mammoth
genome: "Scientists are talking for the first time about the old idea of
resurrecting extinct species as if this staple of science fiction is a
realistic possibility, saying that a living mammoth could perhaps be
[1]regenerated for as little as $10 million. The same technology could be
applied to any other extinct species from which one can obtain hair,
horn, hooves, fur or feathers, and which went extinct within the last
60,000 years, the effective age limit for DNA." (The Washington Post
article linked from the earlier post was much more skeptical, calling
such an attempt "[2]still firmly the domain of science fiction." The New
York Times article, while describing the process in similar terms, also
calls attention to recent advances in sequencing DNA, as well as recoding
DNA for cloning.)
