<title>ESA Spying on WMAP in Preparation for Gaia</title>
<link>http://news.softpedia.com/news/ESA-Spying-on-WMAP-in-Preparation-for-Gaia-85222.shtml</link>
<description><![CDATA[How does the ESA prepare for the launch of a new probe? Well, apparently, by taking several pictures of its partner&#039;s spacecraft. ESO&#039;s La Silla 2.2 meter telescope was recently used by three researchers to photograph NASA&#039;s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, orbiting Earth from a distance of 1.5 million kilometers. The two missions have separate scientific objectives, with NASA WMAP probe having the role of making observations on the Cosmic Microwave Background.

<link>http://news.softpedia.com/news/Hp-To-Roll-Out-ExDS9100-a-Powerful-NAS-System-85221.shtml</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hewlett Packard announced a few days ago the launch of a new, "extreme" storage system designed to fulfill the needs of online and digital media businesses. The ExDS9100 is meant to be a helping hand by simplifying multiple petabytes management, and also by lowering the cost considerably.

<description><![CDATA[Today&#039;s social networks have an amazing influence over their users, the number of the registered members being absolutely huge, somewhere near millions. The most recent proof is a water fight set up by a Facebook user who managed to gather no less than 350 other members in the United Kingdom. The only problem is that the Facebook fans simply destroyed the Millennium Square Garden, causing damages of thousands of pounds.

<description><![CDATA[The real woodpeckers may not be able to put on performances like Woody the Woodpecker, but they still make a special group of birds nonetheless.
 
1. The closest relatives of the woodpeckers are the honeyguides. Out of 204 species of woodpeckers, only the two species of wrynecks (Jynx) do not drill and drum the wood. 

The largest bird was the imperial woodpecker (Campephilus imperialis), that inhabited pine and oak mountain forests in Mexico. The now extinct bird was 55 cm (1.8 ft) long and...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One of the dominant trends in technological design nowadays is to combine very advanced technical features (high brightness level, high contrast level, various enhanced image processing technologies) with an eye-catching look, which will appeal even to the more discerning of customers. And this trend is quite visible in the case of LG&#039;s Scarlet (LG60 or LG6000 in Europe), which we&#039;ve had the chance to "play with" first hand.

<title>What Dry Ice Is</title>

<description><![CDATA[Dry ice is basically frozen carbon dioxide. It might not sound like much but dry ice bears some unique properties that make it ideal for certain cooling applications. First of all, as its name says, it’s dry, meaning that unlike other ices, such as frozen water, it does not go through a liquid state when heated. More precisely, when frozen, carbon dioxide breaks down, the process being called sublimation, a transformation from the solid state directly into the gaseous state.

<description><![CDATA[Meteos, a puzzle game released in Japan in March 2005, in the US in June 2005 and Europe in September, the same year, could be easily compared with the well known tetris games. It is more complex and it has better visuals, but the concept is somewhat the same. Also, the game is often compared with the PSP game, Lumines (which was, by the way, developed by the same company).
