Acer Stream Smartphone – Snapdragon Processor

Acer Stream Smartphone – Snapdragon Processor


Acer Stream smartphone is very similar to the HTC Desire and Google Nexus One and, in some ways, even to the Samsung Galaxy S. The Stream has a 3.7-inch AMOLED display, the 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, a 5MP camera with 720p HD video recording and all the usual radios, such as WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and HSDPA. Also quite thin at 11.2mm. Unlike its rivals though, it features dedicated music keys. The Acer Stream is priced at $600.

Research Information about Genetics and Diabetes

Research Information about Genetics and Diabetes

 The field of genetic research is exploding, as more genes and gene variations are discovered and studied.

Many genes have already been identified with some major diseases and conditions, such as cancers, heart disease and diabetes.

Gene variations that signal disease sequences are of special interest to scientists. These variations are called SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms).

With over 500,000 genes in the human genome, it’s been slow going for scientists as they try to weed through them to find out which SNPs are responsible for chronic diseases that affect us.

Until now, the process of finding the genes and gene clusters responsible for diabetes has been a little like trying to find needles in a haystack.

A new software tool, developed at Michigan Technological University, may make finding genes and gene clusters that have a marked effect on complicated diseases easier. Using the tool has enabled scientists to pinpoint 11 gene variations, or SNPs, that are associated with type 2 diabetes.

The software enables scientists to focus on a more specific array of genes. It is able to narrow the selection from the thousands of genes that make up the human genome down to a more manageable group of the genes and gene variations most likely to be linked to disease.

The test goes further by using statistical methods to detect which variations act individually and which ones act in combination.

Qiuying Sha, an assistant professor of mathematical sciences at Michigan Technological University, says, “With chronic, complex diseases like Parkinson’s, diabetes and ALS [Lou Gehrig's disease], multiple genes are involved. You need a powerful test.”

Tools that help make identifying gene variations easier may help scientists find the cause, and ultimately the cure, for type 2 diabetes.

"Old New York"

"Old New York"

This is my first experiment with film making using music and motion picture in the public domain. The video features Enrico Caruso singing "La donna e Mobile" circa 1908 and clips of films taken in New York City dating from 1898 to 1906 from the Library of Congress.

View over Budapest, Hungary and the Danube River from Fisherman's Bastion



The Halászbástya or Fisherman's Bastion is a terrace in neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque style situated on the Buda bank of the Danube, on the Castle hill in Budapest, around Matthias Church. It was designed and built between 1895 and 1902 on the plans of Frigyes Schulek. Between 1947–48, the son of Frigyes Schulek, János Schulek, conducted the other restoration project after its near destruction during World War II.

Vodafone VF 247 – Solar Powered Mobile Phone

The first solar powered mobile phone by the cellular company Vodafone has announced in India. Vodafone VF 247  is targeted at rural mobile phone market. Users will no longer be required to be near an electrical outlet to charge their phones.

The VF 247 solar powered phone charges by itself, by exposure to ambient light. One doesn’t require exposure to direct sunlight as normal ambient light should be enough to power this one. The phone requires eight hours of direct sunlight to be fully charged. Once charged, it will last for more than eight days and offer about four hours of talk time.

Feature-wise, it boasts of an FM radio, color screen and a powerful torch light. The phone is expected to be priced at around the Rs.1,500 mark and would be available across India starting next month.
