12-year-old "Magneto Man" breaks every computer he touches 2008-03-09 07:42:12 Confirming our belief that some people are just "bad with computers," a boy named Joe Falciatano III from Pulaski, New York, seems to have simply the worst luck ever -- and some think it could be do to an overly magnetized touch. While using PCs at this elementary school, Joe -- who dubbed himself "Magneto
Man" -- found that every
system he laid his hands on went totally haywire.Only after a teacher suggested he use a grounded, anti-static wrist strap did the systems experience relief from his Geek Squad-inducing grasp. Apparently, the boy has also disrupted slide show presentations and caused his Xbox to freeze repeatedly.Though tests have been run on Joe, there's still no conclusive evidence about the source of the problem, though at least one electricity expert said the cause could be h Read more:breaks

Finance companies lead way with IP telephony 2008-03-08 06:27:19 The financial sector is a long way ahead of other industries when it comes to adopting Internet Protocol Telephony (IPT) technology.Nearly all (94 per cent) of finance companies have an IPT solution in place compared to the UK average of 80 per cent, according to a survey by the SAS Group. Finance companies are also eager to go forward with their communications strategies, with 69 per cent planning to implement unified communications (UC) in the near future."It is interesting to see that financial organisations are wise to the benefits of IPT, as they don't tend to be early adopters of technology," said Charles Davis, chief executive of the SAS Group.Although the financial sector was praised for their speed, worries were raised that 63 per cent were using internet-based Virtual Private Net Read more:telephony
Asus EeePC 900 Launched at CeBIT 2008-03-08 06:27:01 For all the claustrophobic folks who can't use the Eee due to its size but would like to try to, perhaps the new Asus
EeePC 900 launched at CeBIT
this year would be a match. The Asus EeePC 900 widens the screen of the Eee to 8.9-inches. And without that thick, hideous screen margin, I must say, it's looking good. Aside from the larger screen, the Asus EeePC 900 also offers 12GB of storage which is a lot larger than the old Eee's, and a default 1GB memory. And yes, the Asus EeePC 900 will come preinstalled with Windows OS. It will first be available to select European countries for US$600, which is around twice the amount of the old Eee with basic specs. I surmise though, that this price tag will lower as time goes. Unfortunately, unlike what was reported, it doesn't seem as if the Asus Eee Read more:Launched

Five Secrets to Great Flower Pictures 2008-03-04 08:49:38 Floral Photography Tutorial. You don't have to be a professional photographer to capture great flower pictures, whether you want to show off the splendor of a rose in your garden or shoot pictures of flowers during your travels. Here are five secrets to taking great flower pictures.Tip 1: Lighting for Flower Pictures
It can be tempting to wait for the brightest midday sun to take your flower pictures. That's actually one of the worst times because the powerful sunlight will wash out your image, and can create harsh shadows. Instead, take flower pictures when it's overcast, or in the morning, afternoon or evening when the sun isn't as bright and overpowering. This will result in more saturated colors in the blooms of the flowers.Tip 2: Level with the Flowers To get unique and beautiful flowe Read more:Great
