1) Double Tops & Double BottomsDouble Tops do not only provide technical traders with a firm indication of a beginning downward trend; they also prove that price movement is not random, but rather is a clear indication of market sentiment.

Speech recognition is a technology that is constantly evolving, experiencing tremendous growth in the commercial market, apart from its original niche as an assistive technology product. There are presently three major companies with speech recognition products, Dragon Systems, Lernout & Hauspie (L&H), and IBM.

Some of you might remember HWPen, a neat little native handwriting application written for the iPhone that surfaced a while back. If you recall, screenshots were leaked not long after, showing a feature in the unreleased firmware that looked similar to the app. According to the Chinese developer, Apple has purchased his HWPen app for use in the new firmware.

The Liberec company Elmarco, which has gradually made a name for itself as a world producer of nanofibres and technologies for their mass production and usage, has recently earned further prestigious recognition on the international field. At INDEX 08, amid very keen competition from six hundred world exhibitors, producers of nonwoven materials from all over the world, Elmarco won two nominations for their “contribution to innovation” and “technological development” in the production of materials for the third millennium. Elmarco was the only exhibitor nominated twice.Source: Elmarco.com
Korean developer DIOTEK Co., Ltd. has announced that they are currently developing handwriting recognition software, DioPen™, for the iPhone. The software will be capable of recognizing Korean, Chinese, and English/European characters. They claim that it will be capable of recognizing both cursive, print, and a combination of the two "with extreme accuracy".
Apple has quietly included handwriting recognition for Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) into the latest iPhone Firmware 2.0 beta. When you select Chinese input, you are given the option to use handwriting recognition allowing you to draw characters on the screen with your finger. As you write the character, four possibilities appear on the right side of the screen.

So I decided to try MacSpeech’s new MacSpeech Dictate software to see if it really could make my life easier. Don’t know much about that yet, but after installing it and “training” it with my voice, So, how accurate are these software packages? I designed a simple test: A 100 word passage.

Toshiba pushing its facial recognition in Satellite series laptopsAlthough we have previously mentioned Toshiba’s face recognition technology in our coverage of the Satellite A300 and M300 and P300, it is only now that Toshiba is officially promoting the said feature. Toshiba has employed this technology to provide Satellite owners an additional way of securing their dear Toshiba machines from unauthorized users. The technology grants or denies access to people who might use the laptops depending on whether they are registered users.To use the face recognition technology to secure their laptops, users need to have their face profiled by the laptop’s webcam during a short setup process. Once profiled, the laptop’s webcam would use this to reference people who are about to use the lapt

An independent developer by the online name of mars1907 has created a new native app that brings Newton-like handwriting recognition to the iPhone.

We had heard rumors that Apple was looking to put handwriting recognition into the iPhone based on a Handwriting Recognition Engineer job listing on Apple's site.

Something I can’t remember hearing much complaint about, surprisingly, is the absence of handwriting recognition on the iPhone.

Some people wouldn't give a second thought to squashing them underfoot but entomologist Ruud Kleinpaste predicts a doomsday scenario in a world without bugs. Known here and internationally as "The Bug Man", Kleinpaste says insects consistently get "bad press" but he can't imagine life without them. "About 80 per cent of plants are pollinated by insects and imagine if bugs didn't clean up all the crap from cattle, people or whatever. "Dung removal is a really important job and if you didn't have it, in two months' time you'd be up to your neck in shit." [ ... ] Still speaking with a Dutch accent despite migrating here in 1978, Kleinpaste said he never trapped insects in jars as a child nor did he do any experiments involving magnifying glasses and ants. In fact, his foray into the s

The USAN is expressing its deep sorrow to all the victims and their families.On those tragic days in March and April 1918, the Armenian Dashnak forces have committed the biggest genocidal act of the time in the region, by slaughtering no less than 12,000 Azerbaijanis in Baku alone, and later continuing these acts in Guba, Shemakha, Shusha, Naxcivan and other cities across Azerbaijan, increasing the total of deaths to 30,000.

The trade office, registered as a private company, will most probably open in April in Tel Aviv immediately after the Turkish Cypriot Foreign Ministry appoints a diplomat, according to the Turkish official. He underlined that Israeli investors were already doing business in northern Cyprus especially in the real estate sector and the trade office would further contribute to tourism and trade ties between Israel and northern Cyprus. Israel is not banning the possibility of having a business relationship with northern Cyprus, said the Israeli diplomat. But he emphasized that there was no official Israeli involvement in the establishment of the trade office and that it would be like those opened in other countries.

I first started using speech-recognition software because of worsening carpal-tunnel symptoms. I’m still a pretty mediocre user. The “power users” really know all of the commands, can operate the computer without barely touching the mouse or keyboard, and have “trained” the software such that they seem to be realizing 99% recognition accuracy. I have no idea how to measure accuracy as a percentage—but pulling a number out of my rear, I’d say I’m achieving accuracy more in the 70-80% range. That’s not bad though, especially considering I’m terribly lazy about “training” the software—or for that matter learning it. As an example, I skipped all of the training on the software that my company had lined up for me. Nevertheless, I am still seeing a lot of promise quite

If you have a website, one of the main things you want to do is keeping your users to stay. That's why, when you link to an external website, most people will add the attribute target="_blank" (new window) to the link.
This method can be pretty time consuming, especially when you're not using a WYSIWYG editor. For more user friendly links, you could also add a suffix icon to show a new window will open.
mfBlank does all this work for you! It recognizes outgoing links and adds the target="_blank" and an icon automatically. This way, you'll make sure to keep your visitors on your site.
The script is very small, but can be really useful for your website.

Those who are alive within you will recognize those who are alive around you.–Henri NouwenIt occasionally happens that one of my clients will look around my office and say something like "oh, that's a new lamp' when looking at one they've seen many times before. When this happens the client is generally surprised and sometimes even a little embarrassed to learn that what they are just noticing has been in the room from the first meeting. However, I am always delighted when this happens because it means that something very important within that person is waking up and becoming more alive and aware.This brings me to the above quote by Henri Nouwen, the Dutch priest and author who wrote a number of remarkable books and essays even while struggling with recurrent bouts of serious depressio
