Science of Archeology: Face of King Tut is unveiled in Egypt 2007-11-05 08:14:01
The face of King Tut was unveiled
in public for the first time Sunday - 85 years after the 3,000-year-old boy pharaoh’s golden-enshrined tomb and mummy were discovered in Luxor’s Valley of the Kings.
Archeologists removed the mummy from his stone sarcophagus in his underground tomb, momentarily pulling aside a white linen covering to reveal a shriveled leathery black face and body. The mummy of the 19-year-old pharaoh, whose life and death has captivated people for nearly a century, was placed in a climate-controlled glass box in the tomb, with only the face and feet showing under the linen covering.
Archeologists in recent years have tried to resolve lingering questions over how he died and his precise royal lineage. Several books and documentaries dedicated to the young pharaoh, who is believed to have been the 12th ruler of ancient Egypt
’s 18th dynasty and ascended to the throne around the age of 8, are popular around the world.

Science Video: How Evolution REALLY Works 2007-11-04 22:41:20 Interesting how most of the Young Earth Creationists and people pushing Intelligent Design, clearly don’t have an education in the biological sciences. Evolution
is the product of Natural Selection AND Mutation. Either alone does nothing.
Evolution is the logical outcome of the world around us. Organisms that store their genetic information in DNA are guaranteed to have mutations. Mutation produce NEW variation. Reproducing organisms are guaranteed to compete for resources. Competition between variable organisms leads to natural selection, i.e. those organisms that possess variation that gives then an advantage will out compete those who don’t. Organisms with deleterious variation will lose to all other organisms. In this way the ENVIRONMENT SELECTS the best organisms, which has the effect of passing beneficial mutations on to the next generation and removing deleterious ones. Over time natural selection will lead to a net shift in the genome of the population, i.e. evoluti Read more:REALLY

Vista Application: Windows Sidebar Styler 2007-11-10 04:00:24 The look of the WindowsVistaSidebar
is a little drab, and there’s no way to customize it with the default tools in Vista. Thankfully third party developers have stepped up to the plate and created an application that will let you re-theme the sidebar.
Custom styles allow for resizing and customizing the appearance of Windows Sidebar so that it fits other UI elements, such as the Aero Glass colorization or an actual third party theme. Designers could save their visual styles so that other Windows users could apply them. Designers would not necessarily create these files on Windows Vista - Windows Sidebar Styler is backward-compatible with legacy operating systems as well.

Magic Trick Explained: The Levitation Trick 2007-11-09 00:13:06 First, watch the following video, showing the Dutch magician Ramana, levitating. His only “prop” is a stick that he is supporting his left foot.
Amazing! Isn’t it? Well… here’s the explanation, by John Ratcliff
The trick is really quite simple. The key is the stick that he is pretending to hold, the robes he has around him, and the mat that he is performing the illusion on. The man is simply sitting on a table. Think about that and watch the video again.
The base of the table, under the mat, is a very heavy platform enough to support his weight. The ‘cane’ is really just a carefully welded leg on the table platform. He is simply sitting on the table and his baggy clothing covers it up;
Well done John!

Gadget: The Ultimate Pen Syncs Audio with Handwriting 2007-11-14 12:24:17
The
Livescribe smartpen revolutionizes the act of writing by recording and linking audio to what you put on paper. In addition to other products, which capture whatever you wrote and convert them into some graphics format or editable text for Word, the Livescibe also records the conversation and digitizes the handwriting, automatically synching the ink and audio! Then, when you tap on your notes, you hear what was recorded during that moment.
More apps are available for download from the
products’s website. One particular that attracted our attention is the Livescribe’s ability to interpret the math formula one writes down, to calculate, and to give the answer in audible form or on the pen’s OLED display. For less than $200, you can get yourself this super pen at the Q1 of 2008.

Weird Life: Accidental Food Inventions 2007-11-13 22:29:38 Do you ever feel bad because you made a mistake? Remember, some of our favorite foods were discovered by accident.
Popsicles
In 1905 an eleven-year-old Frank Epperson was mixing powdered soda and water to make soda pop. Frank accidentally left the mixing bucket outside. During the night the mixture froze solid, with the wooden stirring stick standing straight up. But the frozen pop tasted great! Frank started selling Epperson icicles for five cents, later changing the name to popsicles.
Sandwiches
