Google's Chrome-yism. Are Multiple Internets The End Game?

I've installed and played with Chrome but I'll spare you my review of it. What's more interesting to me and of concern to you is where the Internet is heading as specific client- and server-side technologies (as well as the entities in between) become deeply aligned with one another at the expense of openness. Or should I say Internets? Upon close examination, the executives of Google and Mozilla, two organizations famously aligned against mutual rivals, didn't mince words. From 3,000 miles away, the tension is palpable and Chrome and Android probably have more to do with one another than meets the eye.

Call Centers Not Aligned With Web

The recent e-commerce survey showed that some 41 percent of online adults said they would switch to a competitor or abandon a transaction entirely if they experienced an online transaction problem. In addition, four in five online adults who experienced problems -- or 84 percent -- share their experiences with others both online and offline.

Cassini Trick or Treats Around Saturn

The heavenly bodies have aligned for NASA's Cassini spaceprobe to swing by the Saturian moon of Enceladus for some scientific treats this Halloween.

Carbon-Nanotube-Based Electrodes for Biomedical Applications

A nanotube array based on vertically aligned nanotubes or carbon nanofibers has been invented for use in localized electrical stimulation and recording of electrical responses in selected regions of an animal body, especially including the brain. There are numerous established, emerging, and potential applications for localized electrical stimulation and/or recording, including treatment of Parkinson’s disease, Tourette’s syndrome, and chronic pain, and research on electrochemical effects involved in neurotransmission.

India must tour Pakistan: Yousuf

KARACHI: Senior Pakistan batsman Mohammad Yousuf, who has aligned with 'rebel' ICL, has urged the cricket authorities of India and Pakistan to do everything to save the game from becoming a casualty in the wake of deadly terrorist attack in Mumbai.

Bono Launches Download Service for Africa

U2, Jay-Z, Coldplay and R.E.M. are among the bands contributing music to (RED)WIRE, a new download service aligned with Bono’s (PRODUCT)RED campaign, which raises money for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. For $5 a month, members will get a weekly, DRM-free delivery of an exclusive song from a major artist, a tune from a lesser-known artist, and a music video or other content. The service goes live at redwire.com in December. According to Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Bono’s involvement ensures there will be a steady stream of material from top acts: “There’s certain people, where, whatever they ask for, you give it.�

TiO2â'WO3 Composite Nanotubes by Alloy Anodization: Growth and Enhanced Electrochromic Properties

nanotubes can be grown by anodization of Ti alloys in an ethylene glycol/fluoride based electrolyte under selected electrochemical conditions. These aligned mixed oxide nanotube structures are highly suitable for enhanced electrochromic reactions; in particular we show that already small amounts of WO

Engineers Create 'Nanobamas'

Procedural builds new CityEngine

The new version adds OpenStreetMap import, city model export to RenderMan and Google Earth, a swathe of video tutorials and user manuals, and a new interface to control building parameters, complete with automatic aligned regeneration of models upon parameter change.

Google optimizes search results for iPhone...

Google has refined the appearance of its search page when visiting from an iPhone or iPod touch, an announcement reveals. Results are now formatted in a similar manner to other Google services, with a blue navigation bar, and vertically-aligned text or imagery that eliminates the need to scroll horizontally. Where appropriate, results will automatically bring up maps, as well as larger and more obvious direction and phone call buttons. In the case of multiple listings a Show Map link brings up the new view.

American Express Becomes Bank Holding Company

American Express said that the U.S. Federal Reserve has approved its application to become licensed as a bank holding company and to be regulated by the Federal Reserve. As a bank holding company, American Express will now be aligned with other companies in the financial services industry, further diversifies the Company's funding sources and access to capital, and provides opportunities to expand its deposit-taking capabilities.

McColo Takedown, Vigilantes Or Neighborhood Watch?

CWmike writes "Few tears were shed when alleged spam and malware purveyor McColo was suddenly taken offline last Tuesday by its upstream service providers. But behind the scenes of the McColo case and another recent takedown of Intercage, a ferocious struggle is taking place between the purveyors of Web-based malware and loosely aligned but highly committed groups of security researchers who are out to neutralize them. Backers claim that the effort to shut down miscreant ISPs is needed because of the inability of law enforcement agencies to deal with a problem that is global in nature. But some question whether there is a hint of vigilantism behind the takedowns — even as they acknowledge that there may not be any other viable options for dealing with the problem at this point.

In Situ Monitoring of Bindings between Dasatinib and Its Target Protein Kinases Using Magnetic Nanoparticles in Live Cells

We report a novel technology, called InCell IT, for in situ monitoring of bindings between a small molecule kinase inhibitor and its target protein kinases in live cells using a kinase inhibitor, dasatinib, as a model compound. Streptavidin-attached MNPs were coated by biotinylated dasatinib, and then these dasatinib-MNPs were transferred into cells. In the cells, the MNPs were aligned to the same direction of the magnetic field and EGFP-tagged target protein kinases were bound to dasatinib-MNPs. Using this technology, we demonstrated the bindings between dasatinib and its target protein kinases including SRC, ABL1, and CSK in live cells. The specificity of these bindings was also confirmed by cold competition using unbiotinylated dasatinib in the same cells.

Could Strange Mars Craters be from a Fallen Third Moon?

Oval impact craters north of Olympus Mons (NASA)Was there a third Martian moon orbiting the planet? Did Phobos and Deimos have a triplet sibling? According to the discovery of two elliptical impact craters, there might just have been another moon, but it ploughed into the Red Planet's surface a long time ago. The moonlet would have been approximately 1.5 km wide (0.9 miles), and it will have succumbed to the Mars gravity, entering the atmosphere at a shallow angle. As it tumbled through the atmosphere it broke in two, hitting the surface and creating two elongated impact craters, near-perfectly aligned.

Helicos Launches Open Access Web Site With Microbial Genome Data

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(Business Wire)-- Helicos BioSciences Corporation (NASDAQ:HLCS) today announced the launch of the HeliSphere(TM) Technology Center, an open access Web site (http://open.helicosbio.com/) for sharing Helicos data sets and bioinformatics software tools. Launched during the 58th annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics, the open source site showcases single molecule sequence reads from whole genome resequencing and digital gene expression runs using the Helicos(TM) Genetic Analysis System. The first sample datasets released include whole genome sequences of the microbes Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Rhodobacter sphaeroides, sequenced with consensus accuracies greater than 99.995%. Each sample dataset, containing between six and 12 million aligned reads, was generated from one channel of a 50-ch
