Sony adds Walkman product line by attending NWZ-E440 series. Audio and video player is claimed to have the audio quality is better than its predecessor and additional features as needed music lovers.

In the latest Walkman E series was added cradle loudspeaker system is also equipped with Digital Linear Phase Speaker. Linear Phase Digital System was created by Sony speakers to improve sound quality and stereo speakers. This new audio technology enables natural sound reproduction and powerful bass to invest in a tiny device.

Moreover, this technology is combined with the Clear Audio Technology Clear Stereo and Clear Bass's Sony, so the new player can deliver an audio experience that is more sharp and clear.

"Sony understands the importance of portability of music, so we intend to provide an audio experience with the latest Walkman E series," said Kazuo Sawachi GM Marketing Division Head of PT Sony Indonesia in a press release received Kompas.com, Wednesday (23/12/2009).

This Walkman also has battery life is longer. NWZ-E440 has a battery life up to 20 hours for music and 6 hours for video. Weighing 54 grams, NWZ-E440 series comes with 2.0 inch LCD screen.

For users who so enjoyed waking in the morning with their favorite music, the Walkman E440 series presents an alarm that allows users to install the "wake-up call" each day. At the moment this function is turned on, the Walkman will not light, so keep the battery life remains long.

FM and voice recorder also complement these products and multiple codec for the convenience of playing music and video. In addition, Content Transfer software allows transfer of files such as music, movies and photos from Windows Explorer, iTunes or even Cyber-shot camera to a Walkman with an easy interface facility which is a drag-and-drop.

The latest Walkman ® NWZ-E440 and NWZ-E440K available in Indonesia began in December 2009 in several colors. For the NWZ-E440 is available in black color, pink violet, and red. While the NWZ-E440K is black and pink.

Short URL addresses for easy sharing via the various social networking sites YouTube ogled. Video sharing site was launched a short URL with youtu.be address. URL shorter, a tool to change the Internet address of a long string of random characters and shorter this can only be used to shorten YouTube link address. Utilization will help the spread of YouTube links to various social sites like Twitter, Facebook, and others.

Before YouTube, Google and Facebook had previously been more memanaatkan pemendek such URLs. Google launches Facebook Goo.gl while using Fb.me. Goo.gl services are only used on the Toolbar and RSS feeds in Feedburner service and so far not been used in other services. While the new Fb.me designed for mobile services.

As reported by the Telegraph, began shorter popular URLs since the last 18 months since popularized TinyURL and bit.ly. URL pemendek utilization rose dramatically as the Internet makes it easy for users to share links through mikroblogging sites like Twitter and Plurk to limit the number of characters in each posting.

URL shorter Bit.ly is the most widely used on Twitter. Nearly 75 percent of the outstanding pemendek URL mikroblogging site is bit.ly. Last month, bit.ly has recorded 2 billion Internet addresses or links up dramatically from only 11.8 million links over the past year.

Twister tail, or whirlwind that was elongated in the South Bandung horrendous and could create panic residents in some areas of the region, Friday (18/12).

A tornado that occurred at about 17:25 pm causing the tail, which extends vertically from the sky into a white horizon.

Meanwhile the wind was in the area Ciparay Bandung regency. Seeing that the people directly out of the house and gathered in open ground.

"I fear that the penis god to our area, we were scared and opt out of the house in the open field," said Mrs. Dini Pakutandang Village residents Ciparay Sub District of Bandung.

Tail in white tornado lasted for about 30 minutes. Tornado vortex was clear spinning on a black cloud in the sky south Bandung.

Residents claimed to have seen the twister tail like that, but what happened on Friday evening, much larger and longer.

"Normally a tornado events in the region Bojongsoang, but we come too worried, though not unheard of in this area," said Abeng, other Ciparay citizens.

Tail stretching the penis god in the sky spectacle that became permanent residents who worry about a hurricane Indonesia's version of their residential area.

Some captured by using a camera and camera phone. Meanwhile interpretation echoes reverberate in several mosques using loudspeakers.

Brave new residents into their homes after the tail of the twister tail does not look god and whirlpool has disappeared from the sky at 17:48 pm.

Australian scientists have found an octopus in Indonesia coconut shell collecting to be home. This could be the discovery of advanced behavior for the first invertebrate animals (without the spine) that can use a tool.

Scientists have filmed the octopus marginatus that Amphioctopus middle-sorted collection of coconut shell on the ocean floor, emptied it, brought in under his body as far as 20 meters, and then set the two to form a ball shell hiding place.

Julian Finn and Mark Normann, from the Museum Victoria in Melbourne, for several times to visit North Sulawesi and Bali for diving, between the period 1998 to 2008, had seen strange activity carried out by four different octopus. Published their findings on Tuesday (15/12/2009) in Current Biology magazine.

"I got surprised," said Finn, a research biologist from the museum that specializes in Cephalopoda. "I mean, I often see octopus hiding behind a coconut shell, but I had never seen anyone able to take the shell, and pulled. I had to stifle a laugh."

Octopuses frequently use any goods for the shelter. But scientists have discovered that the blood vascular octopus was a step forward because it can set up shell from the coconut shell, carried by a good distance, then set them elsewhere.

"That is an example of the use of tools, which has never been found in invertebrate creatures before," said Finn.

"The difference from the land hermit crab is this octopus-shell collecting shell for use later, so when I move the shell, the octopus was not protected," said Finn. This is unique because the shell is not directly applicable, means the octopus is able to think for the future. "Because the shell can be collected for future use of this octopus is unique."

The researchers theorize that the most likely type of octopus that once was shelled. But once people know the split coconut shell and throw into the sea, the octopus was found a better way to take cover, said Finn.

This finding means, because it shows that animals are able to demonstrate a more complex behavior, according to Simon Robson, associate professor of tropical biology from James Cook University in Townsville.

"Octopus's prominence as an intelligent invertebrates," Robson explained. "They have the sense of sight is sufficiently developed and the brain smart enough. So I think these findings indicate a complex behavior ability to do this organism."

In scientific circles there is always debate about the definition of 'use of' in the animal world, according to Robson. Australian researchers describe the 'tool' as the goods are carried or stored for later use. But there are other scientists also different opinions, so it is difficult to determine with certainty whether this was the behavior of the use of invertebrate animals or not, Robson said. But somehow he still found it very interesting discovery.

"This is one more example that makes us realize how similar people and nature. We are merely an extension of this planet," he said.

Around 300 guests Hotel EPIC in Miami have been evacuated from a luxury hotel after a guest is found dead and two others were hit by sudden illness and bacteria from local waters. The Miami Herald, citing local health officials reported, the guests are sent to a nearby hotel on Sunday to prevent contact with legionnaires disease.

A person can become infected by breathing or breathing vapor contaminated with bacteria. According to the Center for Disease Prevention local control, these bacteria can not spread from person to person,

An investigation revealed that the hotel had installed a water filter strong enough to remove the chlorine from the water supply. In the previous case, last week a man at Gainesville also died after consuming water at the Shands Cancer Hospital.

Thumbs up for this one thief. The proof, even in the safest in the London office, the Ministry of Defense, this thiefer successful "To Take" a laptop. No kidding, writes The Sun, Saturday (12/12/2009), the laptop contained confidential data. Amazingly the thief again, the laptop he stole from a location close to the room Minister of Defense!

So that, the ministry made a major investigation to catch the thief . Of course, as well as to recover the laptop was top secret.

"The investigation is in progress," was a comment that came out of the party who felt robbed.

Astronomers claim to work directly photographing objects like planets orbiting a star like our sun. A similar discovery was announced last year when astronomers gets photos directly from the solar system and have single planet. But differs from these latest findings, which became the center star in the system of the previous findings are giant stars are much larger than the Sun.

The image of the new object was taken in May and early August in the testing tool on the planet hunter's Subaru telescope located in Hawaii.

Objects called GJ 758 B is orbiting a parent star mass and temperature comparable to our sun. So says research team member Michael McElwain of the University of Princeton. The star is 480 trillion km, or about 50 light years from Earth.

Scientists are not sure whether the object was a large planet or a brown dwarf (brown dwarfs), or also known as a failed star. The mass of the object was estimated to 10-40 times Jupiter. Objects that have mass above 13 times Jupiter (and still below the mass necessary to trigger a nuclear reaction on a star) is considered as brown dwarfs.

After all, McElwain admitted that the pictures were quite interesting. "Brown dwarf star like our sun with extremely rare. Interesting discovery was something so cold and so low mass near that of a star similar to our solar system."

Similar object distance from the star the planet is at least 29 times the distance of Earth to the Sun, or roughly the distance between the Sun to Neptune. by McElwain, the fact that there is such a large object orbiting in the region raises the question of traditional thinking about how to create planets. Astronomers believe that most of the major planets formed at distances closer or farther from the star, but not at a distance where the GJ 758 B is now located.

"The discovery is challenging but beautiful on a very low-mass objects near a star like our sun once again reminded how limited our knowledge of the large gas planets and brown dwarf stars that are close," said Alan Boss, an astronomer at the Carnegie Institution of Science, Washington DC, who are interested though not involved in the study. "This discovery enables thinkers to begin to understand how collection agencies in this space, which was not visible and can be formed and evolved."

Equipment installed on Subaru telescope, the so-called high-contrast imaging Koronagrafik with Adaptive Optics, is part of a new generation of tailor made equipment to detect faint objects near bright stars by reducing glare that.

According to scientists, imaging of the telescope to find objects that might be the second best in the stars, which started to be called GJ 758 C. However, still need further observations to confirm this second object was near or just seem so.

The research team consists of scientists from Princeton, the University of Hawaii, University of Toronto, Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg (Germany), and the National Astronomical Observation Center in Tokyo. His study was published online on November 18 in the electronic version of the journal Atrophysical Journal Letters.

Hubble space telescope has discovered some of the oldest galaxies are so far not been known. The galaxies are detected by the Wide Field Camera, Wide Field Camera 3, the new telescope was installed on the last repair mission. According to scientists, these galaxies formed 600 million years after the Big Bang. The scientists believe that the big explosion that created the universe. Intargalaxy distance is estimated at 13 billion light years (each year light approximately 9.65 trillion km).

This image taken from the area of space called the Ultra Deep Field and has been scanned by the Hubble in 2004. New camera is equipped with a channel near infra-red so that the orbiting telescope that could see further into space and record a further object.

"We can now see farther into the past, identify the galaxy when the universe is only five percent of the current age," said Daniel Stark, a researcher from the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge who are involved in such research.

The new cameras installed in May by NASA astronauts as part of a mission to upgrade and repair the telescope, which has 19-year-old. Two teams from the University of Oxford and the University of Edinburgh will report these findings in the publication Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Chairman of the Cancer Information and Support Center (CISC) Semarang Cahyaning Puji Astuti said, at least there are about 11 types of vegetables are proven effective to prevent cancer. "Fruits and vegetables are actually much more powerful than vitamins, but not all vegetables and fruits are anticancer," he said after a seminar on "Preparing Healthy Foods Preventing Cancer" in Telogorejo Hospital, Semarang, Thursday (10/12/2009).

Naning mention, 11 vegetables, cancer prevention, including cabbage, garlic, onions, soy, turmeric, green tea, tomatoes, oranges, chocolate, fruits and berries, like blueberries and strawberries.

However, although some vegetables and fruits were efficacious as anticancer, awareness and understanding necessary substances contained in vegetables, including notice processing process.

According to him, cabbage is the main enemy of cancer, either green cabbage, white cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, watercress, cabbage and purple. In fact, the efficacy of cabbage has been known since the time of Hippocrates around 460-377 BC.

"Hippocrates said, cabbage is a vegetable with thousands of properties, and consume at least five servings of cabbage per week proved to be minimize the risk of esophageal cancer and slow the progression of cancer," he said.

However, cabbage processing still must be considered so as not remove the advantage, of which not cook it too long, but still must be clean, and chew carefully.

Garlic and onions are also very effective for preventing cancer, especially gastrointestinal cancer, esophagus, stomach, colon, prostate, lung, and breast cancer.

"Cancer-preventing foods are found in soybeans, which many processed into tofu, tempeh, and milk. Because soy contains isoflavones which are anticancer compounds that have chemical structures similar to sex hormones," he said.

Related to the chemical structure of isoflavones similarity with sex hormones, he warned, excessive consumption of soy is not recommended for patients with breast cancer and prostate cancer.

"The cancer is a type of cancer is highly dependent on the hormone, a hormone estrogen to breast cancer and hormone androgen for prostate cancer," said Naning is also suffering from cancer.

In addition, he said, a prescription to avoid the risk of cancer can be done by avoiding certain foods, eg, pickled food, smoked foods, and fried foods.

"Regular exercise, stop smoking, and avoiding consumption of red meat is also an application of healthy lifestyles that need to be applied to prevent cancer," said Naning.

Society does not need to bait the issue of end 2012. Because, based on scientific studies, this issue has no basis in science. Natural phenomena that might occur in that year was the storm the sun. "The issue of end 2012 is pseudoscience (do not follow the scientific method). There is a connection with the appearance of Nibiru Planet, there is also a large comet, which astronomers do not actually exist," said Thomas Djamaluddin, professor of astronomy, astrophysicist from the Institute of Aviation and Space Agency (Lapan ) in the event Press Tour, Thursday (10/12).

Furthermore, he explained, the only possibility of natural disasters due to space conditions in the year 2012 was the storm that triggered space solar storms. "But, we did not have to worry about, too. Not necessarily the storm was going to lead directly to Earth. Because, the Earth's spinning," he said.

Head of Science Center for Space Utilization Lapan, Sri Kaloka, who was present to explain to reporters that the issues set out in the end the myth of 2012 prediction Maya calendar. However, he confirmed the possibility of a large solar storms in that year.

Solar activity peak in the cycle is now 24 was originally estimated to occur in 2012. But, then moved in 2013 because the sun activities is still minimum. "But, because it is linked to the statistics, is still a debate," he said.

He explained, peak solar cycle is marked by the number of black spots on the surface of the sun can trigger the appearance of tongues of fire (corona mass ejection) that carries the particles high berenrgi. If you came to earth, these particles can disturb magnetosphere to the ionosphere on Earth.

The impact can damage satellites, tool, Telecommunication and electricity on Earth. Hurl billions of tons of particles can also affect the pattern of magnetic fields on Earth. "There's a paper in Germany who say that the pigeons disturbed because they have related navigation in the Earth's magnetic field," he explained.

Concrete cases under the influence of solar storms occurred in 2003. At that time, many satellites are out of touch and does not work. "When it Lapan also noted the decline in telecommunications functions in the ground water. High radio wave was broken," said Thomas later.

Head of The Sun and Space Lapan Yatini Clara Yono added, a unique activity on the sun often becomes an attractive material for science fiction film. As an example of the material from the solar neutrinos in the 2012 film became a source of peril.

"It's ordinary neutrinos come from the sun, not necessarily when a storm. Not like in the movies, the material is not charged and was not arrested in mass and this land should not until boiling magma on the Yellow Stone," he said.
