Buckypapers clarify nanotubes' electrical, optical behavior

Using highly uniform samples of carbon nanotubes – sorted by centrifuge for length – materials scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made some of the most precise measurements yet of the concentrations at which delicate mats of nanotubes become transparent, conducting sheets. Their recent experiments* point up the importance of using relatively homogeneous – not overly short, but uniform in length – nanotubes for making high performance conducting films.

Trinidad Cricket Board, players resolve pay row

PORT-OF-SPAIN – A financial dispute between the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) and players on the senior team was sorted out late yesterday.

Feds shutter one-stop stalker shop

Federal watchdogs have shut down a website that advertised a comprehensive snooping service that included a stealthy trojan, online support, and a database that sorted and stored the confidential passwords, chat transcripts, and activities of those being stalked.

Schroff: personalised customer portal with online shop

Schroff has set up a customisable customer portal, "mySchroff". All information delivered via the portal is personalised - that is, filtered by the user's interests and sorted in order of relevance. The portal also features other functions, designed on the basis of an extensive analysis of customer satisfaction to make available an optimised customer service.

iPhone apps: London JamCams, King's Cup, iLaugh

London JamCams ($3) provides users with a method for quickly viewing traffic congestion on London's roads. Users have access to any of the 179 traffic cameras across Greater London, which can be sorted quickly or defined into routes. Once a route has been defined the included cameras can be viewed manually or as a slideshow.

ICL sees peace with ICC 'within two years'

As the ICL gears up for its second season, Subhash Chandra, chairman of the Essel group, which owns the league, has said he is confident of the conflict with the sport's global administrators being sorted out "within two years."

The Fiasco that was Googles Sandbox

Google has always hated duplicate content but for a long time it did not have the technology to deal with it which meant many people who wanted to earn a living from the Internet were placed On Hold while Google sorted itself out.

iPhone Heaven

I now have a Drobo unit hooked up to my Mac, running two 1Tb drives. It's very good and I like it a lot. Getting it set up took a few days of minor issues - almost all of which were sorted when they released new firmware anyway. I recommend it, but only on the FW800 connection.

Scoop up dollar deals from eBay and Amazon

Stand back! My cheapskate senses are tingling! A new site called Daily Dollar Deals catalogs soon-to-end eBay auctions that have prices below $1. Just pick a category--anything from Antiques to Video Games--and you'll see a list of all under-a-buck auctions, sorted by time remaining. (You can also drill down into sub-categories to get more targeted listings, and there's a search option as well.)

Congress gets ready for the Obama era

Cabinet appointments and plum White House staff picks grab headlines during a transition. But the fate of the Obama presidency will be shaped just as much — if not more — by the messy behind-the-scenes process already under way in Washington: the reorganization of power on Capitol Hill. Three key elements to that process are still being sorted out: the final party-line composition of the Senate; the new GOP leadership in the House and how it reflects the new Republican mission and message; and the ability of House and Senate Democratic leaders to control crusading members who read Obama's win as a green light for a revolution. (Read "Who Will Be Obama's Pick for Treasury Secretary?")

Are these the same people who figure that the PS3 will sell 150million units by 2016?...

Are these the same people who figure that the PS3 will sell 150million units by 2016? Where do you draw the line between wishful thinking and the real world? It is not like as if current DVD owners are all sitting at home complaining about the poor picture and sound quality and wishing that they could get a product that sorted the quality out. And have none of these number crunchers ever heard of rival technologies, such as downloads, which will greatly errode the physical media share of the entertainment business?

Nice that Blu Ray is selling I guess, but I''''m very happy with my standard DVD play...

Leading Stocks - Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc, FLIR Systems Inc, Cephalon Inc, Xilinx, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd

Given everything that is going on in the market, I thought it might be interesting to see what stocks are leading this year. As a starting point, I pulled the component stocks for the NASDAQ 100 (NDX) and ran them through a query that gave me the year-to-date returns and a few key pieces of sentiment data. The list below is sorted to show some of the top performing stocks. The names that stood out to me include, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc (VRTX), FLIR Systems, Inc. (FLIR), Cephalon, Inc. (CEPH), Xilinx, Inc. (XLNX), and Fastenal Company (FAST). As the spreadsheet points out, these stocks all carry a rather heavy level of short interest. A high level of short interest can lead to the potential for a short squeeze.

Stocks to Watch - Intel Corp, Google Inc, Apple Inc, Cisco Systems, First Solar Inc, Motorola, XTO Energy, EOG Resources

As we wait for the market to open, and expect to see a dramatic plunge, I have some stocks to watch. Earlier this month, we looked at some of the most oversold stocks in the market. The list was broken down 5 different ways and showed the top 15 stocks from each category. A few days later I followed up on that and found that the groups sorted by the most analysts had performed the best. My explanation was that investors might first focus on buying what they already follow when making snap decisions. I ended that post by saying this information might prove a valuable guide for short-term bounces from oversold conditions. With that in mind, I re-ran my original scan with new criteria. I kept my minimum market cap requirements but widened the Relative Strength Index (RSI).

...with extra cheese and a garlic bread please.

When it comes to gadgets I think Rohan is going to be fine. Anything with buttons is a must have toy. He will sprint across the living room if he notices the TV remote has been left in reach :) He also knows that when we pick up the phone we're going to be talking to someone so he starts shouting "Herro! Herro" (he hasn't quite sorted out L's yet).

Nikon D90 Video Tests: The Good, The Bad and the Shaky

Some of you are thrilled that the age of video on DSLRs is here; some of you are surprisingly pissed off about it. Truth is, the 720p video coming from the Nikon D90 can look amazing, but in some ways it can't replace even the cheapest cams when it comes to chasing kids and pets around. The good news is that you can use sweet DSLR lenses—in this case, a trio of Nikkors—for a cinematic look and feel. The bad news is, there's no autofocus in video mode. It's a bitch, but it forces you to think more like a filmmaker and less like a hockey mom. Check out the video above, then drop down for some issues and tips we've sorted out so far. Update: Still framegrabs from the actual video below.
