Hyundai Cars literally wrote on the face of the earth

This is just simply amazing. I wonder if i could do this one day, at least once in my life. To write on the face of the earth readable from the space.

NEOSSat (Near Earth Object Surveillance Satellite)

In these days of modern era where New Age  stuffs are being discussed in most corners of the world, the topics on the end of the world is inevitable. Most talk about the prophesy in the Bible regarding the Armaggedon which said that the earth will end by a comet that will collide on our planet. Some says meteors will be resposible for it and many other astrological phenomenon that somehow lead to the notion of the end of the world.

Never fear because a Canadian Space Agency (CSA) together with the Defense Research Developement Canada (DRDC) has developed a technology - surveillance satellite to monitor our space activities. This technology is called NEOSSat.

NEOSSat which means Near Earth Object Surveillance Satellite is the project that is about to be launched on its expected launching on the year 2010. Sounds futuristic right? We could imagine a Star Trek or Star Wars scenario for this specific project. Althought the project is just a piece of small high tech gadget which weigh about 143 pounds and is the size of a large suitcase, its capability is high since it is a product of CSA and DRDC.

This NEOSSat is a satellite designed to identify and track objects in space. That is to say that this project will take a look on the atmosphere above to know whether there are incoming meteors or asteroids or probably commet (Armaggedon!) that will about to enter the territory of Earth. NEOSSat's telescope will track asteroids that are on a potential collision course with earth. The telescope will also be able to identify and track space debris to prevent collisions that would disrupt telecommunications systems.

It will circle close to earth on a polar orbit that affords almost constant sunlight and a darker sky. From that vantage point, the telescope on NEOSSat will be able to monitor an area within 45 degrees of the sun. That area is very difficult, if not impossible, to observe from Earth-based telescopes and is also an area where near Earth asteroids tend to be concentrated.

Possibility of Cyborg

One night I was watching television. The show?Ripley's Believe It or Not, Philippines version showed in GMA 7. There it features about a professor on cyrbernetics and a possibility of real cyborg in the near future. After watching that, I surf the net to check this person named Professor Kevin Warwick.

Kevin Warwick is Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, England, where he carries out research in artificial intelligence, control, robotics and biomedical engineering. He is also Director of the University KTP Centre, which links the University with Small to Medium Enterprises and raises over £2Million each year in research income for the University.

Kevin was born in Coventry, UK and left school to join British Telecom, at the age of 16. At 22 he took his first degree at Aston University, followed by a PhD and a research post at Imperial College, London. He subsequently held positions at Oxford, Newcastle and Warwick universities before being offered the Chair at Reading, at the age of 33.

In the show on Ripley's, he was interviewed by some interviewer of Ripley's and according to him, that in the near future a technology would arise. This technology will soon out wit human being as much more inteligent than us.

Cybernetics as a matter of fact is already existing today. Kevin is one of them because he implanted himself with circuits connected to his nerves. Computers react when they sensed he is coming, like his computer will do autocheck on his emails before he could sit in front of his computer, doors connected to computers are automatically opened when he pass by, lights on and off and so on and so forth. He even has convinced his wife to get implanted with circuits and it was successful.

This is a cool technology and I found it useful. Although it seems to be frightening because it would create a war between human and cyborg, I believe that no computers can be much more inteligent that us humans. However, it will lead me to think about the 'end of the world' and some 'biblical prophesies' and many other new age stuffs. Moreover it would tickle my imagination and lead me to imagine things like Terminator, Transformers and other robot -related films today.

Featuring Google Chrome.

I have always wanted a browser which I found it easy to navigate. Of course fast browsing speed is listed too. Both interchangeable in priority. In the past years, I never heard about Mozilla FireFox because the only broswer I know was the Internet Explorer by Microsoft. Later I discivered Firefox myself with its most recent version Firefox 3. I used it and I found Firefox3 better than Internet Explorer. Just recently I found a cool browser created by google. The name? Google Chrome. Google Chrome is so user friendly. I advise you to try this cool browser.

There are 10 quick tips for using Google Chrome:

1.   One Box for everything.

2.   New Tab Page

3.   Application shortcuts - shortcuts for your applications can be placed on desktop.

4.   Dynamic Tab - tabs can be clicked and dragged

5.   Crash Control - it has its own Task manager located on the empty tab area. Right click & select

6.   Incognito Mode - if you dont want to record on history the site you wanted to visit, use Ignition mode.

7.   Secure Browsing

8.   Instant Bookmarks

9.   Importing Settings

10. Simpler Downloads

I found Google Chrome very cool and user friendly. I believe that this browser will become sooner or later the default browser to be used. I like it most because of its wide screen display. Google Chrome is in its Beta version and I am waiting for thier incoming newer version for more advance browsing.

What's new in Windows 7? We're still learning. Thanks to a couple of YouTube videos[search it yourself, lol], I know there's a cool hover effect over the new Start button and a better calculator.

My Yahoo Mail was hacked!!

Notice to all Yahoo mail users.

The other day, I was on the rush. I checked my email and I saw that there were about 10 unread messages for me on that day. One of which is an email from a friend of mine who is now in Philadelphia, US. Another email in which I was not able to read that time yet is an email from Friendster.com stating that I have a New Message in my friendster account. Most of these other messages are coming from Friendster.com providing me notices that there are recently updates on my friendster friends list, Including blog updates from friends. One most important email that I recieved that time (by which I wasn't able to read yet due to "rush" circumstances), aside from the email I recived from that friend from Philidelphia is another email that I recieved from an agency that I was applying for a job. But because I was in the hurry, I need to go outside to do my business first before I'll read the message, I was able to read my emails later that night.

Surprisingly, when I got logged in into my yahoo email account that night. I noticed that most, I mean all of my recent email is already marked as read. The email that I talked about earlier which I am hundred percent sure is unread and never been read by me before I logged out my yahoo email account has already been read!! All of the recent email from friendter automated mail dilevery has been deleted!!! After that shocking discovery, I somewhat panicked. Asking myself who could have opened these emails. I am quite sure my sisters do not know my passwords and they do not know any hacking techniques. And I am quite sure that I have logged out my yahoo mail before I left. Thus concluding that my family are not responsible for this blatant crime!!!

What could be possibly happened here? I asked myself very puzzled.

Could it be that my yahoo mail account has been HACKED? or does my sisters or any family members knows password recovery strategies or do they any password recovery programs in which I do not know?

To know more about this, please come back to this site next week to find out what happened!!

Please bookmark this page or add this to your favorites!

PS I do know now why these happened so please stay put!
