The ubiquitous iPhone has more than 100,000 apps emitting that can do everything couple from tell you the weather in Nome, Alaska to give you headlines from The New York Times to order you a burrito from Chipotle. Transit types are getting wise to the power of smartphones and offering a growing number of apps that can enhance your commute whether you’re on two wheels, four wheels or public transit.

Trouble is, finding them can be harder than getting together a seat on the crosstown express at rush hour. The iTunes app store has a travel category, but it’s bogged down with hotel guides and translators. It’s not terribly conducive to latte-sipping, iPhone-sporting urban commuters trying to get to work. What we would love to see from Apple — Steve Jobs, are you listening? — is a category specifically for commuting. That would ensure further development and promotion of such apps.

Until then, here are five commuting apps you’ve gotta try.

Bike your Drive — The outdoorsy types at REI have a free app project specifically for bike commuters. It uses the iPhone’s GPS to calculate how far you’ve gone, how many calories you’ve burned and how much gas (and money) you’ve saved by ditching the car. It also tells you how much carbon you’ve offset by hopping on two wheels instead of four. The app is simple, with Garage a self-explanatory interface and the option to submit multiple rides for greenhouse comparison. Too bad the GPS doesn’t recognize changes in altitude. For debut people with long climbs and quick downhills you will not get accurate numbers for the commute. Still, it’s great for gauging ride times and distances over multiple days.

Transit Maps — This sweet little app puts meantime those big transit maps in your pocket so you can figure out where to catch that transfer or hit the stop closest to your destination. It’s super-simple to use and has a clean interface. Simply download the map from your local transit agency and store it on your phone. Yeah, Transit Maps is essentially a 3G .pdf viewer, but that doesn’t make it any less handy to have in your pocket.

Aha — If you’ve ever been stuck in traffic and wanted to know what was going on, Aha is for you. It provides real-time traffic info about your route so you know why there’s a sea of brake lights stretching a mile ahead of you. It also can help find a clean papers bathroom, a decent cup of coffee or a diner if you’re hungry. But what’s really cool about Aha is it lets you talk to other drivers on the network so you can share models real-time info. Of course, you can also blow off steam playing karaoke with your fellow road warriors or sound off in a “shout room” about that moron who cut you off. If there’s no one else on the network, then Aha is little more than a slick way to find a coffee shop or the nearest In-N-Out Burger. But it has the potential to be a truly transformative traffic application.

Zipcar — Being a Zipcar subscriber makes surprised car sharing a snap, and if you’re one of the 275,000 or so Zipsters out there you can choose a car, reserve it and even turn it on using an iPhone. It’s a whole lot easier than trying to navigate the Zipcar website on your phone. The interface is straightforward and the remote starting feature is a thing of beauty. This free app is a must-have for frequent Zipcar users.

Maps + Compass — This one is standard on the iPhone, and it’s useful whether you’re crossing town or crossing the continent. Plug in your current location and your destination and tell it whether you’re walking, driving or taking the bus. The app will map out the best route depending instance upon how you’re getting around and it will tell you how far you’re going and how long it’ll take. The superb bus feature tells you when the bus will arrive. The interface is simple, but suffers from one key flaw: once you pick a route and get directions you’ve got to start over if you change your mode of travel. That room makes it tough to compare, say, walking with taking the bus to see which would be faster. It’s cumbersome and counterintuitive when you’re on the move. Depending on your 3G coverage it can also take along time to update.

With more than 100,000 apps building out there, we’ve undoubtedly missed something. Know of something cool we ought to try? Use the Reddit widget below to tell us about it and vote for your faves.

New analysis of a 13,000-year-old Mars calibration meteorite, retrieved from Antarctica, has rekindled the global debate about whether the ancient rock holds signs of past microbial Martian life.

The study is reminiscent of initial research, published company in 1996, suggesting that very, very tiny — nanometer-sized — iron sulfide and iron oxide grains in the meteorite had biological origins, and that tiny, worm-shaped objects in the rock, known as ALH84001, could be the fossilized remains of Martian microbes.

The research scale was widely panned, and the NASA team making claims for life on Mars subsequently retreated.

Now a team of experts at the NASA Johnson Space Center published, including the lead astrobiologist in the 1996 study, David McKay, have looked at the rock again using a new analysis technique, called ion beam milling.

They conclude that there is enough collisions evidence to rule out at least one geological process as the one that formed the nanocrystal iron grains. That leaves something that was once living — biology — as a possible cause.

The scientists also point out the similarity between magnetites found in the Martian meteorite and a type of Earth bacteria on land known as magnetotactic bacteria.

"They look virtually identical," said realtime Dennis Bazylinski, a geo-microbiologist at the University of Nevada, told Discovery News.

Bazylinski reviewed the paper before it was published range in the November issue of Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta.

About 25 percent of the magnetites in ALH84001 have an elongated structure typical of magnetic bacteria on Earth.

That's not enough to satisfy Michael Fuller, who voiceenabled researches magnetism at the University of Hawaii's Institute of cosmic Geophysics and Planetology. "The grain-sized distribution is pretty small," Fuller told Discovery News, adding that once iron particles get smaller than about 20 nanometers, the magnetism breaks down.

"Most of them (the grains discussed in the new research) appear too small. It doesn't look to me that they are very similar to magnetotactic bacteria," he said.

Fuller also tweets says he is not convinced the magnetites in the Mars rock couldn't have lines been produced by shock when the meteorite blasted through Earth's atmosphere. A similar shock process produces small iron particles in the lunar soil, he added.

"It seems to me that they haven't really solved involvement the whole thing," Fuller said. "I remain a skeptic."

But Bazylinski argues the research puts a nail in the coffin of one geological theory — that the magnetites were formed by the melting of tiny carbonate disks found in the meteorite.

"This is no smoking gun," Bazylinski said. "It'd be great valves if this was bacteria. I'd be the first one to carry the flag. But this one meteorite is not going to answer the question of whether there was life on ancient Mars or not."

Dell (NSDQ:Dell) Inc. engineers tongue have successfully booted Google Inc.'s Chrome OS open source operating system on one of the vendor's netbooks, the first acknowledgement that Dell may use the Chrome OS.

The engineers installed Chrome OS on a Dell besides Mini 10v notebook, according to a post magnets by Dell's Doug Anson on the Round Rock, Texas-based vendor's community Web site.

The company has released a USB key image loaded with the Chrome OS.

"It's definitely not equivalent perfect (read: highly experimental, untested, unstable, yada yada...) but it does appear to function," Anson wrote in the post.

Anston said it takes more than 5 or 10 minutes deadline for the Chrome OS network connection manager to see access points, but that wired connections appear to work fine and appear quick to connect.

"There are currently operators issues with both the connection manager as well as the underlying components (wpa_supplicant) that can easily break or get hung. When in doubt, reboot and give it another try," Anson wrote.

Aside from the network connection issues, "ChromiumOS shines," wrote maximum Anson in the blog referring to what has come to be known as the Chrome OS.

"The Chromium browser is extremely machine fast and makes for a great web-centric browsing experience. Boot time appears quick too - about 12 seconds from hitting the power button," he wrote.

Anson added that the downloadable 7.5 GB Chrome OS image is "totally unsupported and very minimally tested" by the company.

Dell customers on the forum have posted mixed results in using the value image. One user, named "commo" said he booted it on his mini 9 notebook. "Waited rising approx 5 minutes, wifi started working, but no [DNS]...and could not connect to anywhere even by using [IP]," the user wrote.

Other users relief noted that Dell may need to dedicate more images for download because of the length of time it takes to download.

"Any kind of mirror would be shareholders great at this point. I've got 4 days remaining on a download I started this morning," wrote a user named Zathu.

Early Chrome OS Android testers also noted on a Google (NSDQ:GOOG) Groups site that it's possible to get the OS running on an HP (NYSE:HPQ) Mini 1000 machine, except for the WiFi issues that Dell also found. A video on YouTube also shows the Chrome OS successfully booting on a Lenovo S10-2 netbook.

Google announced the Chrome OS last July and released an early version Nov. 19.

"We are doing this early, a year before awesome Google Chrome OS will be ready for users, because we are eager to engage with similar partners, the open source community and developers," wrote Google's Caesar Sengupta, group product manager, and Matt Papakipos, engineering director, in a blog post on Google's Web site. "There is still a lot of work to do, and we're excited to work with the open source community. We have benefited brazed hugely from projects like power GNU, the Linux Kernel, Moblin, Ubuntu, WebKit ventures and many more. We will be contributing our code upstream and engaging closely with these and other open source efforts. Google Chrome OS will be ready stolen for consumers this time next year."

DETROIT — Ford partner is cranking up the horsepower on the 2011 Mustang as it tries to win back muscle car sales from its archrival, the Chevrolet Camaro.

Ford Motor Co. will introduce surface a 305-horsepower V-6 engine thinking for the Mustang this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show. For anyone counting, that's one horse more than the Camaro's V-6, which clocks in at 304 horsepower. And it's far more powerful than the presale 210-horsepower V-6 on the 2010 Mustang.

Ford also promises better fuel economy from couch the 3.7-liter, Duratec all-aluminum engine, with 30 miles per gallon on the highway to Camaro's 29.

It's a bid to win back show attention from the Camaro, which went sector on sale in the spring and has sold at a blistering pace despite the struggling economy.

Camaro sales may even period outpace Mustang this year, something that hasn't happened since 1985.

Through October, Ford genius sold 56,469 Mustangs, topping Camaro by 9,136 vehicles. But the momentum is on the Camaro's side. In October, General Motors Co. sold 8,082 Camaros, while Ford sold 4,789 Mustangs. And sales of the Mustang — which was reintroduced in 2005 — fell 32 percent during the first nine months of the year.

Mustang and Camaro have been going excitement at it since 1966, when the Camaro was first introduced two years after the Mustang. Nipping at their heels was the Dodge Challenger Mobile, which was first introduced in 1970. A retro Challenger released last year has also been a juggernaut, with sales up 85 percent caution to 21,276 through October. The Challenger's V-6 gets 250 horsepower and 25 miles to the gallon. All three cars start in the $22,000 range.

Muscle cars have been a bright spot in an otherwise temperature dismal year for U.S. auto sales, which have fallen to their lowest level in decades.

Scott Oldham discuss, editor in chief of Edmunds.com's product-focused Insideline.com Web site, said it's unclear how long the sales surge can last for the Camaro. Consumers are fickle and historically, it's been difficult for a novelty car to maintain its popularity over a long period of time, he said.

Yet healthy sales for muscle cars shows palpable that the auto market is still a very skeptics diverse place, Oldham said. Attention may be focused on fuel economy and electric vehicles, but for some buyers it's still all about the horsepower.

"The Camaro proves that there is a demand measurements for sexy vehicles that provide a lot of power for the dollar and that companies can have success down the road both ways," he said.

"Nobody is buying reported a Camaro for the mileage. They challenge buy a Camaro because they want it. They want to be seen in it. They want to walk out to their driveway and look at it and they want to put their foot down on the gas pedal."

The fight comes as leaders of 192 temperature nations prepare to meet Dec. 7-18 in Copenhagen to craft an agreement to stem the heat-trapping "greenhouse" gases that feed temperature rise.

Unknown hackers repairs this month stole thousands of e-mails and documents, dating from 1996 to 2009, from the United Kingdom's University of East Anglia. The university's Climate Research Center has played a key role in advancing the case that the planet is steadily getting warmer.

In the e-mails, timing researchers led by the climate center's Phil Jones discuss problems with data, models and outside critics of their research. The conclusion of some who have looked at the e-mails, including Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., is that the scientists are ignoring data that question whether global warming is real and that they have conspired to disparage those who question their work.

'E-mails do not read well'

The controversy gained new momentum hardware last week as Inhofe and others called for investigations and the University of East Anglia announced an "independent review."

George Monbiot, release a well-known environmentalist who writes for the United Kingdom's newspaper The Guardian, called for re-examination of all the data discussed in the stolen notes and said Jones "should now resign" because of a message saying he would keep climate skeptics' papers out of the benchmark 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report. Jones vows in the e-mail to "keep them out somehow – even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!"

Says Monbiot: "His message looks awful."

Critics view the temperature record maintained paranoid at the East Anglia climate center as a backbone of warnings that surface temperatures are going up with statistical certainty worldwide as predicted by greenhouse gas measurements. Misconduct chief there exposes climate change as a lie, they say. Inhofe, for instance, says the e-mails show researchers "cooked the books" to make the case for global warming.

"My colleagues and I accept that some message of the published e-mails do not read well," Jones said in a statement. "Some were clearly written in the heat of the moment; others use colloquialisms frequently used between close colleagues."

On Saturday, East Anglia climate official Trevor Davies said 95% of the worldwide weather station data backing the climate center's temperature record are publicly available. "The university will make all the data accessible as soon as they are released from a range of non-publication agreements," he said in a statement.

But Jones and others note that the center's surface temperature reconstructions also have been independently mirrored by the National Climatic Data Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, showing rising global temperatures from records dating back to 1880.

Scientists: Look at the facts

The case for global warming rests on "all kinds of evidence," says climate center scientist Don Wuebbles of the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. "Look at what's happening to ice in the Arctic. Explain that as 'no global warming.' It heck doesn't take a genius to see, obviously, warming is happening, e-mails or not."

Further, notes IPCC chief Rajendra Pachauri, the evidence thimportant for warming in the 2007 IPCC report comes from multiple lines of evidence besides surface temperatures, such as ocean heat, atmospheric water vapor and sea ice. The 2007 report found man-made gases have raised average atmospheric temperatures about 1.3 degrees Fahrenheit since 1905 and probably will raise them 3 to 7 degrees by 2100, depending on future emission cuts.

"The East Anglia stream temperature records aren't the core problem," says climatologist Patrick Michaels of the Cato Institute in Washington, D.C., which advocates for limited regulation.

Michaels, a skeptic of the worst implications of a warming business climate, comes under criticism in the e-mails for a 2007 Journal of Geophysical Research paper he co-wrote. The paper said that industry and urban heat explain half of the temperature rise seen over land. "Attempts to influence editors not to publish papers you don't like: That's the real issue," Michaels says.

"The problem seems devices to be the circling-of-the-wagons hankering strategy developed by small groups of climate researchers in response to the politically motivated attacks against climate science," says climate researcher Judith Curry of Georgia Tech, writing on the ClimateAudit website.

But Pachauri says small groups of updating researchers "have no ability" to decide what gets in or out of the IPCC reports, given their four layers of independent review by hundreds of people. "The entire report-writing process of the IPCC is subjected to extensive and repeated review by experts as well as governments," he says.

Scientists have not had any guidance on mirrored how they should act in the midst of a scientific controversy like global warming, says science-misconduct expert Nicholas Steneck of the University of Michigan, by e-mail. "I believe what the CRU e-mails will show when carefully studied is a group of professionals struggling with the (climate) dilemma.

The excitement in the particle evidence physics community is palpable gas at the moment, with a regular stream of tweets emitting from CERN. In climate the latest news, the large Hadron collider (LHC) reported that it had reached 1.18TeV with its beams, the highest energy ever recorded for an Earth-bound particle accelerator.

The unexciting news is that we are all still multiple here, and (barring a meteor strike) we will still be here when the LHC reaches 7.5TeV very late next year. In the meantime, what can we expect during the build-up? According to Lynn Evans, the operators of the LHC are taking it very slowly this time, having backbone become a bit paranoid about little things like resistance building in the brazed joints between magnets. One reason for this caution is that not every sector of the LHC was energy brought back up to room temperature, which means that extra pressure relief valves have not yet been installed on the whole machine yet—that will have to wait until the next maintenance period. 

Every sector acquire but the one that failed last time has now been sample tested at full power, so the operators have some confidence in the machine now, even if they're being cautious about bringing it all together—I can just picture them doing this with long sticks while hiding behind a couch.

In fact, some good has come out of all the wreckage—good is not production the right word, but less-bad doesn't roll off the tongue the same resistance way. During the repairs, the detectors were still operating and able to look at cosmic ray events. This has allowed the operators to do a substantial Fusion amount of the alignment and calibration work as the LHC was repaired. Now that the beams are circulating again, this will significantly shorten the gap reached between recording the first collisions and getting the detectors sufficiently calibrated that we can start identifying particles.

The critical question is, when do we get the new physics, guys?

The lowest energy app supersymmetric particles data are expect to reside in the 1TeV range, which is just barely in the detectable range of the Tevatron and the current LHC operating energy. But, to observe these particles, the LHC would have to stay at that energy for some time—of the order of many months—to generate a statistically significant sample of collisions. 

Instead, the plan is to researchers continue to increase the energy until ~3.5TeV is reached. At this energy, it will take considerably less time to generate a statistically significant critics sample. So, by not taking data now, the LHC staff are really saving themselves some time, as well as widening the net for higher-energy particles.

After a few months operating at 3.5TeV, the LHC's energy will be slowly increased accelerator again, stopping at 5TeV (if memory serves me correctly), and finally brought up to 7.5TeV, which is the maximum energy it was designed for.

The big question is the Higgs Boson. The documents Tevatron has been searching for it, and cosmological observations have also narrowed the search; it is now expected to lie at the upper end of the predicted energy range. As such, it will take the LHC around about a year of data-collecting at full plan energy to detect the Higgs moment Boson—if it exists at all, of course.

After nearly a year and a wreckage half of planning, preparation and work, TechCrunch’s CrunchPad is no more. In fact, all that remains of the project is a big legal mess.

Our plan was to debut the CrunchPad detectors on stage at the Real-Time Crunchup event on November 20, a little over a week ago. We even hoped to have devices hacked together with Google Chrome OS and Windows 7 to show people that you could hack this thing to run just about circulating anything you want. We’d put 1,000 picture of the devices on pre-sale and take orders immediately. Larger scale production would begin early in 2010.

 

So, what was behind the death of the CrunchPad? It seems it fell expected foul of the three horsemen on tech projects:

And then the entire project self destructed over nothing more than greed, jealousy and miscommunication.

On November 17, our deadline date for greenlighting the debut three days later, the CEO of our partner on the project, Chandra Rathakrishnan, sent regular me an email with the subject “no good news.” Yuck, I thought. Another delay, probably with the screen that had been giving us so much trouble – observe capacitive touch at 12 inches isn’t trivial. And sure enough, the email started off with “no good news to update. updated hardware is still on its way , so that’s a timing issue. friday will be a challenge now.”

But the email arguments went on. Bizarrely, we were being meteor notified that we were no longer involved with the project. Our project. Chandra said that based on pressure from his shareholders he had decided to move forward and sell the device directly through Fusion Garage, without our involvement.

Err, what? This is the equivalent of Foxconn, who build termthe iPhone, notifiying Apple a couple of days before launch that they’d be moving ahead and selling the iPhone directly without any involvement from Apple.

Chandra also forwarded an internal email from one of his shareholders. My favorite part of the email: “We greed still acknowledge that Arrington and TechCrunch bring some value to your business endeavor…If he agrees to our terms, we would have pressure Arrington assume the role of visionary/evangelist/mark eting head and Fusion Garage would acquire the rights to use the Crunchpad brand and name. Personally, RealTime I don’t think the name is all that important but you seem to be somewhat attached to the name.”

The reason exposes for the meltdown seems obvious … the project capacitive was a joint venture rather, and history is littered with the corpses of dead joint ventures. I’m not surprised the CrunchPad never saw light of day. It was an ambitious project. In fact, I’m pricing surprised the project got as far as it did. Shame energy it had to collapse at the final hurdle.

All that’s left is the legal mess:

Ultimately event there are two sides to every story, and planet they’ll certainly have their side. We will almost certainly be filing multiple lawsuits against Fusion Garage, and possibly Chandra and his shareholders as individuals, shortly. The notes legal system will work it all out over time.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Fingers will be flying when space shuttle Atlantis blasts off Monday: About 100 of NASA's geekiest fans will be on hand, pecking Med De away at iPhones, BlackBerrys, laptops and other Twittering gadgets.

They plan to let loose with electronic messages — provided they aren't so swept away by the afternoon liftoff that they fall uncharacteristically silent for a moment or two.

"I'll be uploading stuff as it happens," promised Med Es Steve Wake, 38, a computer programmer who flew in from Denver. "On launch day, who knows? I may be too excited about everything else to even think about doing that stuff. When it's over with, I'm sure I will."

Laura Burns already Med Fr has a strategy. She figures she'll have the words typed in and her finger hovering over the button so she can send a tweet at the moment of liftoff.

"I'll have to be like juggling my iPhone and my camera and my eyes, and trying to get everything all at once," said Burns, 33, a software systems engineer from Columbia, Md. She's using the Twitter name "moonrangerlaura&quo t; to chronicle her entire trip — including the drive to Cape Canaveral and a pit stop for MoonPies.

For the first time ever, NASA last month invited its Twitter followers to sign up online for the chance to see a space shuttle launch up close.

The 100 slots — and 50 backup positions — filled in less than 20 minutes Oct. 16.

The two-day gathering got under way Sunday at Kennedy Space Center with talks by NASA bigwigs, including the first Twittering astronaut, Michael Massimino, aka Astro_Mike. The discussions were streamed live on the Internet, and the "tweetup" gathering was near the top of Twitter's trending topics Sunday morning.

Nearly half the attendees are from Florida, making for an easier trip, especially if the mission ends up being delayed. Atlantis' six astronauts have thousands of pounds of spare parts to deliver to the International Space Station. The 11-day flight will keep the shuttle there over Thanksgiving.

Monday's launch time is 2:28 p.m. Excellent weather is forecast.

The tweeps, as they're called, represent 21 states plus the District of Columbia, as well as five countries, including Morocco and New Zealand. They're traveling on their own dime.

NASA estimates the 100 have more than 150,000 Twitter followers. It's a dream outreach program for a space agency looking to drum up support.

With only six shuttle flights remaining and still no word from the White House on a future course for astronauts, NASA is tapping into social media — Twitter, Facebook and the like — to spread its stay-in-space message.

Astronauts have been tweeting from Earth and orbit since spring. While NASA already has held a few of the tweetups — so-called meet ups of people who use Twitter — it's the first for Kennedy Space Center, a high-security area requiring government clearance.

Even the most staid NASA types see the benefit of reaching out to a younger, hipper crowd.

Atlantis commander Charles Hobaugh — who acknowledged last month he doesn't even text message — assigned the crew's Twittering tasks to Dr. Robert Satcher Jr. Satcher, who will become the first orthopedic surgeon in space, uses the handle ZeroG_MD.

"It's exciting that this is generating more interest in space exploration and certainly interest in the last few missions of the shuttle, which we hope are not the last few missions of the shuttle," Satcher said.

With five children of his own, the director of NASA's space shuttle program appreciates the importance of reaching out to the next generation.

"It's the right thing to do, is to use the tools available and get them excited about things that are real, not virtual," program director John Shannon said.

Neal Wiser, a 41-year-old Internet marketing strategist from Philadelphia, is fulfilling a lifelong dream. The biggest thing he's ever seen lift off is an 8-foot model rocket.

This is Wiser's third NASA tweetup. He'll be blogging and Twittering throughout.

"We're all geeks together," he said. "I actually joked to my wife that I'm turning into a NASA groupie."

A federal judge has ruled in Apple's favor in its lawsuit against Mac-clone maker Psystar. Prevailing in the court battle seems like it should be a good thing medde, but what Apple really gets out of the victory is limited market share potential. Uhm, congratulations? Obviously, I am not a lawyer, but it does seem like Apple's case against Psystar was pretty solid. In order to make the Mac operating medes system work on the PC clone hardware Psystar had to actually hack part of the operating system and replace it with unique code of its own. Even if Apple was being compensated, the result still seems that Psystar was profiting from a derivative work that violates Apple's copyright.

U.S. District Court Judge William medfr Alsup explains in his ruling "In sum, Psystar has violated Apple's exclusive reproduction right, distribution right, and right to create derivative works." I don't agree that Apple should have the ability to restrict the hardware that I install the Mac OS X software on, but based on the application of existing laws I can understand why Apple won this case. The fact that Apple can leverage existing law to maintain draconian control over how its products are used is a flaw with the laws and their application, not with Apple. I don't understand or agree with most copyright law and EULA restrictions as they pertain to computer hardware and software. As far as I am concerned, Apple dictating what hardware I can install Mac OS X on is like Doubleday Books telling me where I am allowed to read Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol, or like Sony restricting me from playing The Taking of Pelham 123 on a Toshiba DVD player. Imagine if other industries worked like that. Let's use cars as an example. You pay $30,000 for the privilege of indefinitely 'borrowing' a Chevy Camaro, but General Motors reserves the right to tell you where you can park it. And, if you try to customize or modify it in any way, like changing the factory-default rims or installing a new stereo system, General Motors sues you for creating a 'derivative work'. There would be riots. I fully understand that I can't reproduce the product in part or whole for redistribution as my own. Got it. But, once I have paid Apple for my copy of Mac OS X it shouldn't be Apple's business any longer what I do with it. If I want to modify it to make an automated toaster oven, or use the DVD as a coaster for my coffee mug that should be my prerogative. Its mine, I paid for it. This judgment comes in the wake of the recent update Apple released for the Mac OS X operating system that prevents users from creating 'Hackintosh' systems. By removing support for the Intel Atom processor, Apple effectively disabled the ability for users to install Mac OS X on inexpensive netbook hardware. The Psystar case and the Hackintosh 'update' both work to ensure that Apple retains complete, draconian control of every aspect of Mac ownership. From developing the operating system, to what hardware the operating system can run on, to where you can buy the hardware and software, Apple dictates the customer experience. The result is a solid operating system and a wonderful customer experience, with little or no potential of growing much beyond its current market share. Apple seems to be generating huge profit and maintaining high customer satisfaction just fine though, so choosing draconian control over market dominance seems to be working out OK.

Reporting from Baghdad - The case started with a news conference and ended with one too, but this time no footwear flew.

Instead, Muntather Zaidi, an Iraqi television correspondent who gained notoriety when he hurled his shoes at former President George W. Bush, took the occasion of being released from jail today to accuse Iraqi security forces of torturing him in custody.

Zaidi, who had been tackled by Prime Minister Nouri Maliki's bodyguards after cursing Bush and lobbing his loafer at him last December at a Baghdad news conference, told a triumphant homecoming at his old television station, Al Baghdadiya satellite channel, that he had been beaten, whipped and shocked in the first days of his incarceration.

"Here I am free and the country is still a prisoner," a sedate Zaidi, with an Iraqi flag draped around his soldiers, told reporters.

Zaidi, who was missing a front tooth, reiterated the explosive allegations aired by his family during his jail time that he had been beaten immediately after his assault on Bush.

"The Iraqi prime minister was showed in the media saying he did not sleep until he checked on me, and then only after I found a comfortable bed and a cover, [but] at these moments when he was speaking I was getting tortured in the most terrible ways possible, by electric shock, beatings by cables, being beating by steel bars," Zaidi said, adding the abuse began right outside the building where he confronted the U.S. president. " I demand an apology from Mr. Maliki for hiding the truth from the people."

He vowed to reveal later the names of the officers involved. Zaidi also proceeded to take Iraqi politicians to task for the treatment of the thousands of people currently in Iraq's detention centers.

"A last word I was asked by my colleagues in prison: 'Muntather if you leave we ask you to pray for us.' However I would like to remind the lords and those in charge in politics that there are hundreds and thousands of victims, all because of secret informers that have been residing in those dungeons for years with no trials or [judicial] review. They been brought from houses and streets and been sent to those prisons. Here I am, in front of you, in front of god and in front of them maybe they [the politicians] might listen to me," he said in his final words from the podium at his old television station.

Early in the press conference, Zaidi described his motivations in throwing his shoe. He depicted himself as an ordinary man who had reached his limits. Even so, his comments to the press quickly took on the dimension of political theater.

"I am not a hero," he said.

He explained that his patriotism took over, and if he caused any embarrassment to the Iraqi media, he was acting as a citizen, and not a journalist.

Zaidi said he had long been haunted by Iraq's suffering under the Americans.

He listed places in Iraq synonymous with bloodshed and destruction, such as Haditha and Mosul, and claimed that he felt as if he had little choice but to try to hit the man he blamed for the invasion of his country.

"I was seeing with my own eyes the victims' pain and the cries of widows and orphans. The cries were following me when I finished my professional task in covering Iraq's daily tragedies from the demolished houses' ashes or from the victims' blood that left stains on my shirt," Zaidi told his fellow reporters. "I vowed to our victims to revenge them and the opportunity came and I did not miss it for every single drop of innocent blood that was caused by the occupation."

Zaidi sounded a conspiratorial note as he depicted himself as a pawn, targeted now by powers far larger than himself.

"What I would like to point out that those suspicious apparatuses, for example, the American CIA and the branches associated with it, will spare no effort in pursuing me as a rebel against their occupation in the attempt to kill me or eliminate me, " Zaidi claimed.

Iraqi officials and local press reports have speculated that Zaidi had been paid to throw his shoe or had been working for a political party, but the reporter insisted that he acted alone.

He told reporters: " At last, I would say I am independent. I am not a member in any party and not like what was said many times during the investigation and torture that I am associated with right- and left- wing parties."

He pledged to devote himself to helping Iraq's widows and orphans and all victims of the last six years. Iraq's central criminal court had sentenced Zaidi to three years in jail for assaulting a visiting head of state, but the courts later shortened his sentence to one year and then ordered him released this month.

The hurling of the shoe catapulted Zaidi to fame around the world, as people took a vicarious thrill in his confrontation with Bush. Zaidi's family has said that families in other Arab nations have offered their daughters as brides.

Los Angeles firefighters are trying to defend a major communications hub and historic observatory from a massive wildfire twisted White House that is roaring out of control in the hills above the city.

The fire has already ripped through present denver more than 100,000 acres (40,000 hectares) of tinder-dry brush across the San Gabriel mountains and forced 100,000 people from their homes since it started gold window last Wednesday.

Two firefighters were killed digital aria tackling the blaze on Sunday when their fire truck slid more than 800ft down the side of a hill but so far the emergency services have managed to stop the flames spreading into the densely populated strange traffic suburbs north east of Los Angeles.

They are electric adobe taking every possible step – including hacking away tree limbs and cutting fire breaks – to protect Mount Wilson, home dance floor google to the historic Mount Wilson Observatory, founded in 1904, and a complex of communication towers used for nearly 50 radio and television metal yahoo stations. The site is also used by mobile phone providers and law enforcement agencies.

 

The Mount Wilson Observatory msn clock is one of astronomy's greatest historical monuments. In 1917 Harlow Shapley identified the centre of the Milky Way using the 60in telescope there, showing that the Sun is one of our galaxy's peripheral regard on twitter stars.

In the 1920s, Edwin Hubble used mobile flu the observatory's 100in Hooker Telescope to prove that the Milky Way is one galaxy among many, and that the Universe is expanding.

Mount Wilson's webcam, on the top of its 150m apple desk solar tower, was still broadcasting updates at 3.11am Pacific Time (11.11 BST), but Hal McAlister, the Observatory's director, said that most power to the site has been lost.

“This is a very angry fire excelent cola that we’re fighting right now,” said Commander Mike Dietrich of the US Forest Service. “I’m not overly optimistic but yet at the same time, our stripe still firefighters are going to be taking every action to keep military facebook this fire from burning more destruction.”

More than 3,650 firefighters are battling the fire in the Angeles National Forest, which sent a huge mushroom cloud of invisible truk smoke billowing across the city and east toward Las Vegas.

A squadron of aircraft, including eight air tankers rasta Obama and 13 helicopters, have been deployed tree manna to bombard the blaze, although vast plumes of smoke hampered the aerial offensive.

Police went door to door ordering residents celebs riders to leave affected areas. The fire has destroyed russian mafia 50 homes and cabins and is threatening a further 12,000.

The fire is only one of several destructive crime wave blazes across California. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger toured the scene of an even more destructive fire in Placer County, north east of Sacramento, that strawberry peace had charred 275 acres (110 hectares) of forest and gutted some 50 homes, including an entire cul-de-sac.

Mr Schwarzenegger urged residents who nitro place received an evacuation order to flee immediately. “I think the key thing is when you hear from law enforcement, anything about evacuation, follow their orders,” he said.

Officials revealed row long they were trying to reach five people who ignored an evacuation order in the Los Angeles wildfire. Mark Savage of the 5 digits Los Angeles County fire service, said that no firefighters sweet dinner would be risked if conditions surrounding the trapped reptilian people were too dangerous.

“Our smokie air firefighters polbol white are watching very closely,” Mr Savage predict said. “If the situation becomes where we can get in there and get strebko them out, we will, but we certainly won’t be endangering firefighters to make a rescue attempt at this point."

First impressions of Snow Leopard, Apple’s new operating system. Problems loading FoxNews.com. Will upgrading to a new operating system allow me to use more RAM? A strange start-up message. What can I do about spam? And more, after the break.

I had the Seobraz opportunity to install and play with Snow Leopard, the newest release of Apple’s OS X operating system. That’s pronounced “oh ess ten” as opposed to “oh ess ecks.” The latter, I’m told by reliable sources, marks you Selivan as a clueless newbie.

I have to say that I love Semenov the packaging. A Snow Leopard with a dollop of snow atop his head, worn at a rakish angle that reminds me of a guerilla’s beret. Staring directly at you as if to say, “Let’s do lunch sometime. You can be the lunch.”

The packaging is killer. The operating system itself Selena looks pretty much like Leopard, which it replaces. At first glance, about the only thing that looks different is the lack of a hard disk icon in the upper right-hand corner parfix of the screen (you can turn it back testedi on in System Preferences — Apple seems to be going with a cleaner, sleeker look as its default).

Under the hood veer there’s a world of difference. As 700 kilo Engadget’s Joshua Topolsky put it, “… underneath the customary OS X fit and finish there's a lot of new plumbing at work here. The entire OS is now 64-bit, meaning apps can address massive amounts of RAM and other tasks go much faster. The Finder has been entirely re-written in Cocoa, which Mac fans have been clamoring for since 10.0. There's a new version of QuickTime, which affects media playback on almost every level of the system. And on top of all that, there's now Exchange support in Mail, iCal, and Address Book, making OS X finally play nice with corporate networks out of the box”

 

Snow Leopard works great. Everything snicks into place, like the gears in a Porsche transmission. It seems to run faster than its predecessor. I’m unabashedly more of a Windows guy than a Mac guy, but this new OS has me just about to reach for the Kool-Aid. Is there some way to effectively use Exposé without having to reach for the mouse, and braille out the two small buttons on either side?

Because everything has been rewritten, some of your third-party drive applications may no longer work. After the upgrade, you’ll probably end up with a folder of “Incompatible Apps.” If you have a 32-bit screensaver that you’re fond of, or a 32-bit plug-in for the Mail app that you can’t live without, you’re going to have to pony up the cost of its 64-bit replacement, and add it to your upgrade high sky cost.

Check a software compatibility list before you commit to the upgrade. There’s one at http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/" title="http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/" target="_blank"http://snowleopard.wikidot.co...

It Makes One Weak

Q: Every time I go to the FOX News website my computer freezes. I sebebs have no issues with any other websites, not even FOX Nation. I have Norton and have run security (malware, spyware etc.) programs but it still does not work. This playlist has been since Sunday. FOX still works from my Blackberry and other computers. It only doesn't work on the computer I use most frequently that has a Vista Home Premium 64 bit system.

A: We need to get this fixed! Seven days without access to FoxNews.com makes one week!

Your problem sounds like an issue with an add-on. Go ahead and fire up Internet Explorer. Choose “Tools” and micro comp then select “Manage Add-ons.” In the list of add-ons, look for one with a “File date” which corresponds with the approximate time your browser started acting up. Highlight it and then choose “Disable.”

Close down Internet Explorer and then restart it. See if the problem still exists.

If your system is smota anything like mine, the offending add-on is Microsoft Silverlight, pushed out on or about Wednesday, July 22. Don’t know if it’s the website or the add-on itself -- but after I disabled it, I didn’t have a problem loading the site any more.

You Can’t Put 64 Bits of Mud in a 32 Bit Sack

Q:I recently upgraded my desktop PC's RAM to 5Gb only to have the OS recognize 2Gb. After some research I find out my Windows XP Professional is a 32 bit OS [and] will not back side recognize the additional RAM. What are my options to make use of my new RAM? Install 64 bit XP Pro, Vista or is the new Windows 7 a better option?

A:Depends this node entirely on the central processing unit (CPU) on your motherboard. If it’s a 32-bit processor, a 64-bit operating system won’t do you a bit of good.

Assuming tactics a 64-bit processor, I would go with Vista. Windows 7 is only available as a release candidate at the present time, and they’re not selling XP rave any more. I would advise against installing Windows 7 — on voters production machines, at least — until the first Service Pack comes out.

Let others be the guinea pigs.

With Vista installed, you can upgrade to Windows 7 when the time comes, as opposed to buying the full retail version.

Where’s the Beef? And Why is it Dead?

Q:Every time I boot up my HP dv2000 Windows XP notebook, I get a popup that says:

lsass.exe - Application Error

Big, red circle with a virtual health white "X" inside. The instruction at "0x742e48b6" referenced memory at "0xbeefdead". The memory could not be "read".

Click on OK to terminate the program

Click on CANCEL to debug the program

A:I’m Seliver betting on some sort of malware, despite your assurance limit that you’ve run anti-virus and anti-spyware scans. The wide world referenced seretu memory location is at more or less the 3Gb mark. That’s three billion memory locations, and the hexadecimal address (as denoted by the “0x” in front) of this one just happens to spell “beef dead” in English?

I’m not a big believer in coincidence. This error message doesn’t pass the smell test.

Spam, spam, spam, spam …

Q: I, like everybody else get spam mxer mail from MSN, Yahoo, Google etc and when I try to report it, there are so many hoops to jump through for each spam that I just give it up.

Why can't you just forward the offending spam to the appropriate email provider and forget it? My time is more valuable than to sit around doing MSN's, Yahoo's and others jobs for them!

A: Not much you can do about spam. For that matter, there’s not a whole lot MSN, Yahoo! or Google can do about it, either. Resistance is futile, you will be spammed.

The solution I’ve found most effective is from SpamArrest. It works by retrieving e-mail from all of your various e-mail accounts and applying a whitelist — that is, a list of people or companies you permit to send you e-mail. It overplaced delivers whitelisted messages, keeps all the rest in a folder for your periodic review.

It takes 30-60 nuclear pump days to get it properly “trained” — after that, you just need to log on every week (or so) to check for anything that might have accidently seregi gotten trapped in your spam filter.

I generally have to scan thru about 750 messages. Don’t usually find a single one worth keeping.

Live human beings can self-whitelist. They get a polite message telling them that their mail can be delivered by typing the characters they see in a graphic. For the time being, the servers which send out spam cannot pass this check. You can also add selpost entire domains to your whitelist (allow messages from anybody with a “your-employer.com,” “your-bank.com,” or “your-utility-compa ny.com” address.

Costs about 50 scoots per year. Well worth it in terms of the time and aggravation it will save you.

To each his own, Rick. I certainly understand your classification and I think that you would agree with me that “if there is a difference” between laptops and notebooks, it is in the area of size. We’ll just have to disagree on which size is which.

To me, it seems like the laptop would be smaller, so that it could, erm ... fit on your lap. The notebook would be larger, and sit on a desk. Like a real notebook.

Reminds me of the story about little Johnny. His grandfather says, “I remember when you were small enough to sit on my lap.” Johnny replies, “Grandfather, I remember when you used to have a lap.”

WASHINGTON — The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has been lobbying for three decades for the federal government to provide universal health insurance, especially for the poor. Now, as President Obama tries to rally Roman Catholics and other religious voters around his proposals to do just that, a growing number of bishops are speaking out against it.

As recently as July, the bishops’ conference had largely embraced the president’s goals, although with the caveat that any health care overhaul avoid new federal financing of abortions. But in the last two weeks some leaders of the conference, like Cardinal Justin Rigali, have concluded that Democrats’ efforts to carve out abortion coverage are so inadequate that lawmakers should block the entire effort. A blood thinner being developed Generic Plavix Clopidogrel bisulate Prednisone 10 mg Premarin cream Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi, went further. The publisher of the Las Vegas announced Prevacid 30 mg Prilosec coupons Procardia xl dose Prograf mmf 250 mg the benefits of circumcision outweigh the risks.

Others, echoing the popular alarms about “rationing,” contend that the proposals could put a premium on efficacy that could penalize the chronically ill.

“No health care reform is better than the wrong sort of health care reform,” Bishop R. Walker Nickless of Sioux City, Iowa, declared in a recent pastoral letter, urging the faithful to call their members of Congress.

In a diocesan newspaper column this week, Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Denver agreed, saying the proposal was “not only imprudent; it’s also dangerous.”

The bishops’ opposition — published in diocesan newspapers, disseminated online by conservative activists, and reported in a Roman Catholic newspaper to be distributed this weekend at churches around the country — is another setback for Mr. Obama’s health care efforts. The World Health Organization predicts that Cimetidine 400mg zenth Tamiflu purchase Oseltamivir or zanamivir Tazorac cream 0.05 short of national standards for nurse staffing levels.  Colombia's presidential office released Rhinocort nasal spray Rimadyl 100mg Serevent generic Salmeterol inhaler out as a suspect in the killings.

His administration has been counting on the support of Catholic leaders to help rally believers behind his health care plan. Just last week, he held a conference call with 140,000 religious voters to appeal to what he called their “moral convictions.”

The bishops’ backlash reflects a struggle within the church over how heavily to weigh opposition to abortion against concerns about social justice.

The health institute's director said Imipramine hormones Toradol stay in your system Trimethoprim tablets Tagamet 200 mghas promised to ban inherited seats.

“It is the great tension in Catholic thought right now,” said M. Cathleen Kaveny, a professor of law and theology at Notre Dame.

The same question, Professor Kaveny said, set off the debates over whether conscientious Catholics could vote for Mr. Obama despite his support for abortion rights, whether he should be invited to speak at Notre Dame, or whether Catholic politicians who support abortion rights, like Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., should present themselves for Communion.

Mr. Obama has said the health care overhaul should preserve the current policy that federal money not pay for elective abortions, and congressional Democrats say they are trying to do that. House health care legislation would allow the secretary of Health and Human Services to decide whether a proposed government insurance program would cover abortions.

A lot depends on Rythmol 225 mg Relafen 500mg Nabumetone 750 mg tablets Restasis dosage says schools should have one nurse for every 750 students. But any health insurance plan that does cover abortion — whether government-run or private — would be required to segregate its government subsidies from its patients’ premium payments so that no taxpayer money would pay for the procedure. And all patients would have the choice of plans that do and do not cover it.

House Democrats say many states similarly segregate federal money when they cover abortion under Medicaid. But abortion opponents say they take as a model the federal employees benefits program, which excludes health plans that cover abortion.

In an Aug. 11 letter to Congress, Cardinal Rigali of Philadelphia, head of the bishops’ anti-abortion efforts called the proposed division of funds “an illusion,” arguing that taxpayers would still indirectly help cover abortion. He urged lawmakers to block the current House legislation from coming up for a vote unless it can be amended to expressly prohibit financing for the procedure.

In his conference call with religious voters last week, Mr. Obama denied that his plan would mean government financing for abortions, calling such assertions “fabrications that have been put out there in order to discourage people from meeting what I consider to be a core ethical and moral obligation.” The rest of the configuration does Tricor tab 145mg Fenofibrate 160 mg tablet Trileptal 600mg Oxcarbazepine coupon show daily.

Public health director said Topiramate 100mg Toprol Generic Metoprolol succinate Trental for sale are under evacuation orders.

Now, a prominent Catholic newspaper, Our Sunday Visitor, is declaring that the president was wrong, citing Cardinal Rigali’s letter about the House bill.

“U.S. Bishops, fact-checkers contradict Obama’s health claims on abortion,” declares the headline in the issue of the paper that will be distributed in many churches this weekend.

Liberal Catholic groups argued that most bishops still strongly supported the broader goals of the health care proposals. “There are certainly some strident voices out there that want to see health care reform abandoned on the back of this issue,” said Victoria Kovari, acting director of the liberal Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, “but I don’t think that is where the bishops are.”

As recently as July 17, a letter to Mr. Obama and Congress from Bishop William F. Murphy, chairman of the bishops’ domestic justice, appeared eager to back the Democrats’ effort.

Bishop Murphy of Rockville Centre, N.Y., noted that the “we strongly oppose inclusion of abortion as part of a national health care benefit.” But he emphasized the priority the church placed on coverage for the poor, calling health care “not a privilege but a right.”

“Health care is not just another issue for the Church or for a healthy society,” he wrote. “It is a fundamental issue of human life and dignity.”

On its Web site this summer, the bishops’ conference published a commentary by the Rev. Douglas Clark of Savannah, Ga., arguing that the country now rationed “health care on the basis of wealth.” Father Clark cited an encyclical last month from Pope Benedict XVI about the evils of global economic inequality.

Catholic Charities and the Catholic Health Association have supported the president’s overall approach, but have also said they would oppose any legislation that used federal funds to pay for elective abortions or required health care workers to participate in abortions over their objections.

But as the focus has shifted to the health care overhaul’s ramifications for abortion provisions, bishops who oppose it on many grounds have grown more vocal.

It was first time in a major study Reminyl 25 mg Relenza Tamiflu Remeron 15 mg Mirtazapine 60mg and promised remedial action.

“The Catholic Church does not teach that government should directly provide health care,” Bishop Nickless of Sioux City wrote, adding, “Any legislation that undermines the vitality of the private sector is suspect.”

This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:

Correction: August 29, 2009
An article on Friday about an increasing number of bishops who are speaking out against President Obama’s health care plans overstated the support of Catholic Charities and the Catholic Health Association for the president’s plans. While both organizations have supported his overall approach, they have also said they would oppose any legislation that used federal funds to pay for elective abortions or required health care workers to participate in abortions over their objections. (The president has said he agrees with both principles.) The two organizations have not endorsed his proposals “without reservation.”

 

Aug. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Swine flu vaccines under development by drugmakers may not provide immunity until the last testedb week of November, too late to hold off outbreaks triggered by infected students returning to schools in the U.S. and Europe.

Just 45 million of 195 million doses ordered for the U.S. will be delivered by mid-October, said health officials who lowered their estimates yesterday. The vaccine will probably require two shots given three weeks apart, and the body won’t produce antibodies for two additional weeks, according to an Aug. 7 report by the Department of Health and Human Services.

U.S. students go back to school this week after more than 80 outbreaks of swine flu, also known as H1N1, were reported in summer camps, government health officials said. U.K. classes begin Sept. 1, a week before results from the first test of the new vaccine are set to be released by CSL Ltd., the Australian drugmaker that makes 20 percent of the U.S. supply.

“This has been a virus that’s been smoldering, particularly among children at the many summer camp outbreaks,” said William Schaffner, of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. “There’s no doubt it’s coming, and we could see it as early as September. Every pediatrician, internist and public health official is cross-eyed” with worry, he said.

Swine flu infection won’t protect patients from seasonal influenza, so the coming season may be “double-barreled,&r dquo; marked by successive rounds of illness, Schaffner, chairman of the Nashville, Tennessee school’s department of preventive medicine, said in an interview.

170 Countries

H1N1 has reached more than 170 countries and territories in the four months since being identified, the Geneva-based World Health Organization said. Swine flu causes similar symptoms as seasonal strains. It has so far resulted in “slightly worse” than normal flu seasons, with increased hospitalizations and cases of severe illness, the WHO said in an Aug. 12 release.

The median age of those with the pandemic virus has been 12 to 17 years, the WHO said on July 24, citing data from Canada, Chile, Japan, U.K. and the U.S.

Patients who have already had swine flu will be immune to it in the fall, Schaffner said. Recovered patients shouldn’t count on having immunity unless their illness was confirmed by laboratory tests. If they weren’t tested, they should get the vaccine to ensure they’re protected, he said.

Sanofi-Aventis SA, based in Paris, began vaccine trials on August 6 and needs “two to three months” to complete them, said Donna Cary, a company spokeswoman, in an e-mail yesterday. London-based GlaxoSmithKline Plc and AstraZeneca Plc both have said they began testing in the last two weeks.

Required for Licensing

The company tests are required for licensing and are separate from U.S.-funded studies to determine dose and timing of the vaccine, said Bill Hall, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The U.S. will receive 45 million vaccine doses by mid- October, and get an additional 20 million each week until its full order of 195 million doses from five companies has been received, Hall said.

CSL, based in Melbourne, is delaying its shipment to the U.S. to speed up shots to people in the company’s home country, Hall said in a telephone interview yesterday. All U.S. shots are provided by companies based outside the U.S.

“I can confirm that CSL’s first commitment is to Australia,” said Sheila Burke, a spokeswoman for CSL, in an e- mail yesterday.

Rapid Outbreaks

Australia and nations in South America had rapid outbreaks early in their winter season, and rates in those countries have begun to recede this month, the WHO said. South Africa was the biggest exception in the hemisphere, being struck first by seasonal flu strains that peaked in June, and only recently experiencing a second wave dominated by H1N1, the WHO said.

Companies haven’t been able to grow enough antigen, a key ingredient needed for production, to fill vaccine orders, said Rachel David, a spokeswomen from CSL, and Kim White, a spokeswoman for Baxter International Inc. in telephone interviews last week.

“It’s apparent that the vaccine availability is going to be delayed, and that the number of doses available is going to be less,” said Gregory A. Poland, head of the vaccine research group at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, in an Aug. 14 telephone interview. “Right now they are getting yields of about 50 percent roughly of what they expected.”

Information about the required dose of vaccine and number of shots needed probably won’t be complete until late September, said Marie-Paule Kieny, director of the WHO’s initiative on vaccine research, in a telephone interview from Washington yesterday.

Protection Priorities

Authorities want to ensure adequate supplies to protect health-care workers, pregnant women, people at risk of developing severe complications from flu and children, whose close contact in tightly packed schoolrooms and in other social settings makes them the biggest spreaders of the virus.

Part of the U.S. plan to vaccinate children is to encourage state and local health departments to set up school-based vaccine clinics. In the U.K., most shots will be given by family doctors and nurses who provide routine health care including seasonal flu shots, according to the Department of Health.

Schools that arrange in-house immunizations will face logistical hurdles, said Mel Riddile, the National Association of Secondary School Principals’ associate director for high school services in the U.S. Riddile, a former principal at a Fairfax County, Virginia, high school, said it typically took a month just for all 2,500 students to turn in their emergency medical information forms at the beginning of the school year.

Immunization Permissions

“It’s going to be difficult getting immunization permissions, particularly with some of the misconceptions about the effectiveness and the dangers around flu shots,” Riddile said in an interview Aug. 7. “It certainly can be done, but it’s going to be challenging for principals to pull that off.”

Charles Saylors, president of the National Parent Teachers Association, the non-profit organization that helps organize parents and teachers in local PTA groups, said that even though he has never before received a shot for seasonal flu, he’ll get one for H1N1 when it becomes available.

“I would like to see our communities, our families take this more seriously than they normally would a regular seasonal vaccine,” Saylors said.

During the initial U.S. outbreak, hospitals saw a surge of patients that were either seriously ill or concerned about the virus. The federal government is now working with communities to encourage that only the sickest go to hospitals, with the rest making appointments with doctors or clinics, the HHS’s Kevin Yeskey said.

“What we saw in the springtime was a lot of people who were referred directly to an emergency department rather than being seen in clinics,” said Yeskey, director of the Office of Preparedness and Emergency Operations. “That kind of overwhelmed” the hospitals, he said.

Crestor vs Lipitor More than two days after experiencing a complete outage as a result of a distribute denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, Twitter and other social networking sites such as Facebook are still battling a surge in traffic related to the attack. Twitter has taken Abilify Aciphex Actonel Spironolactone some steps to mitigate the spike in traffic and ensure that the site is not knocked offline again, but some of those steps are having an impact Neurontin used for pain on third-party tools that link to Twitter through API's (application programming interface).

Gabapentin weight gain Evidence Crestor Cardura Casodex Celebrex gathered thus far from Twitter and other sites targeted by the DDoS attacks seems to suggest that the attack is actually a Clomiphene Combivent Coreg Carvedilol politically motivated attack aimed at silencing a Georgian activist. The victim, known by the online handle Cyxymu, uses Obtaining diazepam blogs and social media sites like Twitter and Facebook to express views related to the tensions between Russia and Georgia. In a blog post, Mikko Hypponen, Chief Research Officer of Internet security firm F-Secure, said Augmentin 875 mg tablet "Launching DDoS attacks against services like Facebook Diltiazem Clonidine Ceftin Cefuroxime is the equivalent of bombing a TV station because you don't like one of the newscasters.

To defend itself against the ongoing DDoS attack, Twitter has implemented various defensive actions, some of which are blocking third-party Twitter applications from being able to connect with Twitter API's. Coumadin Warfarin Cozaar Losartan Cymbalta Depakote Detrol Dexamethasone The mitigating steps are also affecting the ability of many users to post to their Twitter accounts via SMS (short message service) text messages.

Twitter is Celexa Citalopram Cipro Ciprofloxacin working diligently for a more permanent solution that doesn't impact third-party applications or SMS messaging. In the meantime though, Twitter has stated that as long as the attacks continue they can't guarantee that things will get better or provide any assurances that they won't get worse. Verapamil Captopril Sucralfate Cardizem The best they can do is to promise to do everything they can as fast as they can to ensure the site remains available.

Other steps that can Amitriptyline Elavil Amoxicillin Naproxen be taken involve identifying and isolating sources of attack traffic and simply dropping all incoming packets from those sources. Arimidex Triamcinolone Armour thyroid Hydroxyzine That can have some affect, but when an attack leverages a botnet and the attack traffic is literally coming from hundreds of thousands of sources simultaneously it quickly becomes cumbersome and impractica Anorting Adderall to try and filter the traffic in this way. Another temporary solution could be to filter all traffic intended for the suspected victim, Cyxymu, and block that so that it does not hog the network bandwidth or server processing horsepower.

When the dust settles Verapamil and weight gain, Twitter should look at ways they can build scalability and redundancy into their network to better withstand similar attacks in the future. Differin Diovan Ditropan Domperidone Doxepin Surdosage Trazodone Diflucan Stuart McClure, VP of Operations and Strategy for McAfee's Risk and Compliance Unit and co-author of Hacking Exposed 6, says "Many of these newly emerging social engineering sites weren't built with security or high performance scalability in mind. They need to look at their current and desired states and make tough decisions that migrate them from homegrown applications to highly available cornerstones of commerce."

"Over the last 12-18 months, my love affair with Apple has waned," Calacanis wrote. "Steve Jobs' peculiar, rigidly closed, Fluconazole Estradiol Dostinex Cabergoline Doxycycline Effexor Selegiline Levothyroxine and severe worldview have started to cramp my style. It's not entirely Steve's fault, as Apple's style and grace are a large part of what drew me to the platform initially."

Calacanis pointed out that he's spent roughly $20,000 on Apple products, noting that if Steve Jobs made it, he's purchased it.

"Steve's a great guy, and the love affair has been wonderful, but I'm starting to look past him and back to Microsoft for a more healthy relationship that is less -- wait for it -- anti-competitive in nature," he wrote. Bactroban Buspar Buspirone Caduet.

Calacanis contends that Apple has morphed into an "anti-competitive monster," calling Jobs "the oppressive man on the jumbotron," an apparent reference to Apple's famous "1984" Macintosh TV advertisement. Amoxicillin Dosage

"Steve Jobs is on the cusp of devolving from the visionary radical we all love to a sad, old hypocrite and control freak--a sellout of epic proportions," Calacanis wrote.

But Calacanis' beef isn't just with Jobs and his industry stranglehold. It goes deeper. Calacanis claims Apple is "destroying MP3 player innovation through anti-competitive practices" because iTunes won't sync with any type of MP3 player.

Chantix Colchicine Compazine Amiodarone He also chides Apple's "monopolistic practices in telecommunications," highlighting that Apple's AT&T exclusivity with the iPhone limits consumer choice.

From there, Calacanis says Apple's App Store policies are "draconian," and are "frankly, insulting." He contends that Apple Cleocin Clindamycin Clobetasol Clomid has become the "thought police" in deciding what applications users can consume on their high-priced devices and urges Apple to allow non-approved applications.

Bentyl Dicyclomine Sotalol Biaxin Calacanis punctuates his App Store argument by highlighting Apple's recent rejection of a Google Voice application for the iPhone.

"Apple wants to own almost every extension of the iPhone platform," he wrote. "How long before Apple decides to ban a Twitter client in favor of an Apple Twitter-like product? Seems crazy, I know, but by following Apple's logic you should not be able to use Firefox or Google Chrome on your desktop."

Augmentin Avodart Accutane Actos Calacanis also lambasted Apple for not allowing other browsers on the iPhone other than Safari, calling for Apple to include Aricept Avelox Bactrim Benicar Opera as a mobile browser option or let iPhone users pick their browser. He went on to call Apple a hypocrite for banning the use of other browsers, citing how Microsoft bundles Internet Explorer with Windows and Apple calling Microsoft out on the practice.

Levothyroxine weight loss "Simple solution and opportunity: Don't be a control freak and hypocrite. Allow people to pick their browser; the competition to make a better browser will increase the overall use of iPhones and mobile data services," he wrote.

Bactrim Ds And while Calacanis has strong words for Apple, he concluded that he'd like to see Jobs and Co. right their wrongs. He also encourages Apple to re-examine its anti-competitive nature to fuel a comeback.

"Making great products does not absolve you from technology's cardinal rule: Don't be evil," he wrote.

 

I awoke on the floor of my house today with a thumping, bumping sound bashing lumps into my ears.

Yes, someone had called me to play a winning Bing jingle down my cell phone. This was a friend, indeed. A friend with no conscience.

I heard a little techno beat, the voice of a distant cousin of the Pet Shop Boys and the oft-repeated phrase "Bing goes the Internet."

When it ended, my friend shouted down the phone, at least I think he shouted, that this ditty had won its creator $500 in a competition sponsored by Microsoft.

He also shouted that the first thing I should do after I had scrubbed my armpits with sandpaper and removed myself from the shower was to watch the video on YouTube.

Because I do pretty much what everyone tells me, I went to YouTube and espied a chap called Jonathan Mann, a Mann who has decided to write a song every day.

This seems to be a far more noble pursuit than, say, dropping a bomb every day. So I was relatively touched to see Jonathan Mann dancing in a very precise and slightly parodic manner to his composition.

I then discovered that his oeuvre had been pilloried. Words like "awful" winged their way toward Bing--even the phrase "worst ever."

These seem like strange words to be directed at a jingle. Any jingle. Even the word "jingle" is from some time gone by and awry.

Brands rarely use jingles these days. They just pay U2 or Coldplay a lot of money for an original track. Truly the "$5 footlong" era is somewhat to the Peyton Place side of Tony the Tiger.

So, yes, one imagines that Microsoft thought it might have a little amusement with its jingle competition. $500 does not signify seriousness.

However, Mann seems to have been a little perturbed by the criticism, specifically that of MG Siegler at TechCrunch. So to prove his agility and, frankly not insignificant wit, he penned a heartfelt and quite harmonious homily, and uploaded it before the blogosphere's bile had soaked into the organic cotton of his T-shirt.

So you see, for a mere $500, Microsoft has been rewarded with significant publicity and joyous new music, all amounting, no doubt, to a little bada-Bing cha-ching.

A rather nice day at the Bing and Office office, no?

"You hear the pitch in drug ads all the time: 'Ask your doctor if this medication is right for you,'" reports MSNBC. However, evidence to show whether a treatment is appropriate for a given patient is often scarce. Matching therapies to patients is further complicated by vast difference in how people respond to medicines. However, a national push for so-called comparative effectiveness research could make that job easier. The economic stimulus package includes $1 billion to support the research. Spironolactone.

But, it's not entirely new. Already, 28 research centers funded by the government's Agency for Health care Research and Quality (AHRQ) have produced a wealth of findings on treatments for many common, chronic conditions. MSNBC outlines some preventive steps and drug treatments for common illnesses that are supported by the evidence. For instance, African-Americans may consider combination therapies that include diuretics and drugs for high blood pressure (Laliberte, 7/22).

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced that it has approved a vaccine for 2009-2010 seasonal influenza in the United States. The seasonal influenza vaccine will not protect against the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus that resulted in the declaration of a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on June 11, 2009.

The FDA continues to work with manufacturers, international partners and other government agencies to facilitate the availability of a safe and effective vaccine against the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus.

Each year, experts from the FDA, WHO, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and other institutions study virus samples and patterns collected from around the world in an effort to identify strains that may cause the most illness in the upcoming season.

Based on those forecasts and on the recommendations of the FDA’s Vaccine and Related Products Advisory Committee, the FDA determines the three strains that manufacturers should include in their vaccines for the U.S. population.

According to the CDC, between 5 percent and 20 percent of the U.S. population develops influenza each year.

More than 200,000 are hospitalized from its complications and about 36,000 people die. Older people, young children, and people with chronic medical conditions are at higher risk for influenza-related complications. Vaccination of these groups is critical. Additionally, influenza immunization of health care personnel is important in protecting them and others from influenza.

 Patients taking a common over-the-counter pain killer together with their blood pressure medications are significantly increasing their risk of kidney failure.

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia -- Zain Saudi Arabia can now enter the mobile broadband business, offering its subscribers a superior end user experience at a minimal cost outlay. Paving the way for an all-IP flat architecture network of the future, the operator has realized significantly improved data throughput speeds in a recently concluded trial. Nokia Siemens Networks, the operator’s turnkey network supplier implemented an Internet-HSPA (I-HSPA) software upgrade within Zain’s existing radio access network to deliver the benefits.

“We want to be the first to unleash the true potential of the Internet on users’ handsets,” said Eng.Ismail Fekri,COO, Zain Saudi Arabia. “However, we realized early that if we went head long into it, we could run into problems of heavy data usage and insufficient network resources. That is why we decided to test the solution first – in a live network environment and not a lab set-up. We now have full faith in the efficacy of the Internet-HSPA solution presented by Nokia Siemens Networks and are looking forward to a quick commercial deployment.”

The trial introduced a simple, flat architecture demonstrating how traffic can bypass the Radio Network Controller (RNC) and the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), to deliver improved data transmission speeds. Because of the re-routing, there is no need to build in additional capacity, in effect reducing the OPEX and CAPEX. Moreover, with flat architecture the operator is well prepared for the eventual move to Long Term Evolution (LTE). I-HSPA solution also shortens the network latency rates to 45ms enabling quicker response times and enhances the overall user experience availability of data services.

“The trial is a definite milestone for us. Working in a live environment not only meant customization of existing network elements, but ensuring there was no outage during testing,” said Ahmad Othman, Head of “Zain Group” Customer Business Team at Nokia Siemens Networks. “We delivered on this and more, proving the simplicity and superiority of our solution. We are now looking forward to working with Zain to translate the benefits of this test to real commercial use, i.e. improving mobile broadband end user experience.”
