Quote

Further observations over the coming months with Hubble and Keck should reveal more about Xena and Gabrielle. But according to Brown, discovery of the moon will not resolve the issue of how to define a planet, a debate stirred up by the discovery of Xena: "The fact that 2003 UB313 has a moon does not really change the case one way or another."


AJAX and Open Source Email.

Quote

Clearly, nobody expects AJAX-style applications--just now entering the market--to overtake Office anytime soon. Microsoft has long controlled more than 90 percent of the desktop software market, and the company's Information Worker unit, which includes Office and related tools, generated more than $11 billion in revenue--more than one quarter of Microsoft's total revenue in fiscal year 2005, according to the company.


Robot camera clamps onto your gut.

Quote

The radio-controlled crawling capsule has six legs, each with tiny hooks on the end. These help prevent the device slipping on mucus in the intestine as it moves along, but are too small to damage the soft tissues, says Menciassi. The capsule can park at any site of interest by releasing a clamp with two 5-millimetre-long jaws, each with teeth. These grab onto the gut wall tightly enough to resist the muscular pulsations trying to push the device along.
