    Microsoft fixes Office 2003 bug with patch
    December 14, 2009 8:52 AM PST

    http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10414762-56.html

    The bug, which cropped up on Friday, meant that users of Office 2003 were unable to access files protected using Microsoft's rights management service (RMS) technology. Microsoft posted a software download known as a "hotfix" on Saturday that it says resolves the issue.

    Microsoft said the problem was due to an Office 2003 certificate that expired. This resulted in Office 2003 customers not being able to open Office 2003 documents protected with the Active Directory Rights Management Service (AD RMS) or Rights Management Services (RMS).The issue occured on Thursday night and was fixed up by Mid-day Saturday.

    SEATTLE – Ten years ago, we would have been blown away by a cell phone with far more computing power and memory than the average PC had in 1999, along with a built-in camera and programs to manage every aspect of our lives. Ten years from now, the iPhone and its ilk will be antiques.

    Over the next decade, the evolution of
    computing and the Internet will produce faster, increasingly intelligent devices. More of our possessions will contain sensors and computers that log our activities, building digital dossiers that augment our memories, help us make decisions and tame information overload.

    Such ideas may sound futuristic and excessive today. And technological predictions are notoriously off-base. Short-term forecasts tend to assume too much change and long-term forecasts underestimate the possibility of sudden, major shifts.

    Even so, this vision of interconnected devices that produce and filter massive amounts of data in the 2010s is a logical progression of the Web, computers and gadgetry that emerged in the 2000s. Moore's Law, the principle that computing power doubles every two years without increasing in cost, still rules.

    Title:NASA's WISE Surveyor Sets Out to Illuminate Secrets of the Sky
    Early Monday morning, NASA launched a spacecraft that will map the entire sky in infrared light with more sensitivity and resolution than has ever been possible before.

    A Delta II rocket carrying NASA's new Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California at 6:09 a.m. PST Monday and deposited the instrument into a polar orbit 326 miles above Earth.

    The space telescope is on a nine-month mission to record the infrared colors of the whole sky in more detail than was provided by the last infrared sky survey, which was performed 26 years ago. It will first scan the whole sky, and then it will scan one-half of the sky a second time before its mission ends.

    Title: MP3 players face noise limits recommended by EU
    BBC News|December 13 2009
    URL: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8410302.stm

    The European Commission is calling for a suggested maximum volume to be set on MP3 players, to protect users' hearing.

    The commission wants all MP3 players sold in the EU, including iPods, to share the same volume limits.

    This follows a report last year warning that up to 10m people in the EU face permanent hearing loss from listening to loud music for prolonged periods.

    EU experts want the default maximum setting to be 85 decibels, according to BBC One's Politics Show.

    Users would be able to override this setting to reach a top limit of 100 decibels.

    In January, a two-month consultation of all EU standardisation bodies will begin on these proposals, with a final agreement expected in the spring.

    Some personal players examined in testing facilities have been found to reach 120 decibels, the equivalent of a jet taking off, and no safety default level currently applies, although manufacturers are obliged to print information about risks in the instruction manuals.

    Modern personal players are seen as more dangerous than stationary players or old-fashioned cassette or disk players because they can store hours of music and are often listened to while in traffic with the volume very high to drown out outside noise.

    Dr Robin Yeoh, an audiology consultant at the Epsom and St Helier NHS Trust, said: "More and more young people are referred to me by their GPs with tinnitus or hearing loss as a direct result to exposure to loud music.

    "It's the sort of damage that in the old days would have come from industrial noise.

    "The damage is permanent and will often play havoc with their employment opportunities and their personal lives."

    'Personal choice'

    DigitalEurope, the Brussels-based body representing the industry, agrees safety must be improved.

    But according to their spokesman Tony Graziano, "the solution must lie in a balance between safety and enjoyment of the product by the consumer".

    "Eighty five decibels would not be appropriate because noise coming from traffic, engines and so on would obliterate the sound," he said.

    Conservative MEP Martin Callanan, who sits on the European Parliament's Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee, said: "Kids have always listened to their music loud and this is not going to stop them."

    He added: "You have to educate them to the risks but ultimately you have to allow personal responsibility and personal choice."

    The Politics Show broadcasts at 1200 GMT on BBC One and for seven days after on the BBC iPlayer

    Title-Miracle Metal: How Glassy Metals will Define Manufacturing in the 21th Century
    The metals have a wide range of applications, from aerospace structures to golf clubs and medical devices.
    By Afarin Bellisario, Principal Transtrategy Inc.
    Dec. 9, 200
    An amorphous metal, a molecular structure similar to that of glass, have many extraordinary properties, such as: the highest strengths of metallic material; exceptional magnetism; wear/corrosion resistance; and, a large capacity to store elastic energy. Unlike conventional metals, these metals soften gradually when heated and do not contract during solidification. These properties can be shaped and molded of the material into complex designs, in near-net shapes with micro-scale precision at relatively low temperatures. Furthermore, the surfaces of the parts made with these materials are smooth-no sanding or grinding is necessary. A satisfactory outcome of the production of parts outperforming titanium and steel in durability and strength is as easy and cheap as making plastics.

    This website often require background knowledge to interpret and can be hard put into context. The sources of information can be more deeply in local level from the visitors.

    "These changes violate user expectations, diminish user privacy, and contradict Facebook's own representations," the complaint says of Facebook's new regulations, which push more content public, and make even more data available to third-party applications and advertisers. EPIC's goal is to force Facebook to restore the old settings and add additional controls for members.

    A car that turns into a speedboat

    London, England (CNN) -- California-born Dave March has always had a passion for cars and boats.

    He started building and repairing them in 1976 when he opened a garage in sunny Fountain Valley, California.

    But March wanted more than owning and working with the coolest cars and speedboats -- he dreamed of a great car that could go straight from the highway into the ocean: an amphibious car.

    March believes the amphibious car opens up a whole new dimension to people.

    "The world is 75 percent water and owning a Gator or Python means you are no longer stuck to the land," he told CNN. "You can finally drive directly into the water and just keep on going."

    Newscard.Title, Vocal Booth Solutions For Home Studios

    Harlan Hogan has devised a method of creating a ‘portable vocal booth’ for voice-over work in the field, and he reckons that all you need is a few dollars a bit of elbow-grease (if you can find any, do let me know). He explains how he did it on this page, and it’s remarkably simple – just a bit of foam, a foldable fabric box and… well, that’s it.
    Harlan uses Auralex pyramid foam, but Jake Ludington has managed to make the porta-booth even cheaper by using wedge foam – bringing the cost down to $21 per booth.
    He even made a video showing us how he did it…
    The Whole Booth
    If you are particularly flush and shy away from manual labour, then you can buy a professionally made portable vocal booth such as this one from Real Traps, or go the whole hog and splash a few grand on a full-size walk-in vocal booth. These are very impressive, but you would want to be getting a solid return from your vox work to justify this sort of expenditure.

    Title:Firefox, Adobe top buggiest software list

    According to the researched numbers from the National Vulnerability Database, it was found that Firefox is still holds position number one with a total 102 vulnerabilities reported. It was actually an increased of 12 from last year. However, it also said that the high number of vulnerabilities stated did not necessarily mean that the web browser actually has more bugs, it might just mean that it has the MOST reported holes. This is because Firefox is an open source where all the holes are publicly exposed.

    With the total number of 45 holes reported this year, Adobe comes in the second place, tailing by Microsoft with a figure of 41, dropping 3 numbers comparing to last year's result.

    Another interesting figure shown in this article is disclosing some of the proposed riskiest applications to users. Again, Firefox comes in first place based on the most severe vulnerabilities in popular applications that run on Windows and which are not updated automatically. It is then followed by Adobe Reader and Apple QuickTime. These numbers were listed according to Bit9, a provider of application whitelisting technology.

Google must also pay 10,000 euros each day until it removes the extracts. Google is unhappy with the judging and Google said it plans to argue with this.

    Intel has officially announced the next generation of its popular Atom CPUs for Netbooks. While probably the worst-kept secret in personal computing, unveiling the Atom N450 (previously codenamed "Pinetrail") weeks before the upcoming CES trade show means Intel doesn't want this key announcement to get lost amid the thousands of new products set to debut in January.

    One of the brightest spots in the consumer electronics industry over the past two years has been the growth of Netbooks. These small, low-power, low-cost laptops are popular with almost every segment of the computer-buying public, from students, to business travelers, to seniors.

    But, these machines had became largely commodity products, with identical components and features, driving prices down to $299 (or less, with subsidized deals from mobile phone providers). More recently, PC makers have attempted to create new tiers in the Netbook market with high-def displays and improved Nvidia Ion graphics, or even competing CPUs from AMD and Via.

  31. MPs back home educating families
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/8416023.stm
    Parents who home educate their children should not be forced to register with their local council, MPs have said.

    The Commons schools select committee said local authority registration for England's home educators - planned as compulsory - should be voluntary.

    However the MPs supported the requirement that parents should provide a statement of their "intended approach" to their child's education.

    A review of home education by Graham Badman has drawn angry responses.

    The Badman review recommended children be sent to school if parents did not meet certain standards.

    It was also controversial in its suggestion that children who are home educated were at greater risk from harm than youngsters who went to school.

    The select committee said the lack of information available on the numbers of home schooled children - no-one knows how many there are - made it "unsafe" for the review to have reached such a conclusion.

    Earlier this month, more than 70 MPs handed in petitions from opponents of compulsory registration for families who educate their children at home.

    Under the Badman report's proposals, parents choosing to home educate will have a legal duty to register every year.

    Councils will be given the right to refuse registration on safeguarding grounds, meaning parents could be banned from home educating their children if there are fears over safety or the quality of education provided.

    While the cross-party committee of MPs backed plans for registration, it said any such scheme should be "light touch".

    Under the government's plans, local authority officers will be required to make annual visits to home educating families, to judge the quality of education and check on safeguarding issues.

    But the committee warned these visits would not be an improvement to existing safeguarding rules and said officers should not have the right to interview a child away from their parents.
