<title>Softpedia Recommended Mac Apps of the Week  10.05.2008</title>

<description><![CDATA[Windows users like to brag saying they get sooo much software on their platforms that they don&#039;t even know what to do with it anymore. Although it&#039;s quite true, Mac users can live with it because they get just the necessary amount of software they need, and, best of all, they really DO know what to do with it. In fact, I&#039;m sure that&#039;s why you stopped for a quick glance this week, too.

As usual, we&#039;ve selected three apps, all of which are free to download and install o...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[AMD&#039;s recent approach at cutting down on costs in order to turn back to profit might force the company to sell its two fabrication facilities in Germany. Hector Ruiz, the company&#039;s CEO recently hinted at the fact that AMD might sell its customer division, but other control measures could force the company to sell its chip fabs. 

Speculations started to emerge immediately after Hector Ruiz announced that the company would  deploy its manufacturing assets more cost-effectively.

<description><![CDATA[Only a few decades ago, astronomers weren&#039;t even sure if other solar systems aside ours exist in the universe. Since then, a couple of hundreds of solar systems have been discovered, mostly composed of gas giants. When trying to learn about other solar systems, astronomers often make analogies to our own. If our solar system is so varied, imagine how fascinating other worlds could be. A new study set to start in the fall of this year will make observations on about 11,000 near stars in a pe...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We are living in a civilization based on oil. It is an issue that makes us extremely vulnerable. That&#039;s because of the global "Peak Oil." The oil production follows a bell curve. Its peak is the moment when oil has been 50% depleted. After the peak, oil production decreases while its price starts to go up.

Many scientists, bankers and investors consider that 2005 was the year of global Peak Oil. US domestic oil production reached its peak in the &#039;70s. The bell of the oil production ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Users looking to Service Pack 3 for Windows XP, as Service Pack 2&#039;s second coming and the perfect reason to avoid Windows Vista SP1, might need to reconsider their plans. The reason is rather simple, despite the fact that it has spent over two months more time in development compared to Vista SP1, while containing only a minor, standard evolution in comparison to SP2, XP SP3 has come to the table with a flood of issues, a wide variety of them impacting the deployment process. There are no l...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A young designer from Prague, the capital of Czech Republic, recently came up with a fresh and good looking mobile phone concept, called the Egg Phone. Far from being bulky like an egg,  the new handset has an oval-shaped, curved case that seems to be quite slim and, more important, it can probably fit well in users&#039; hands.      

Roman Tubl, the creator of the Egg handset, imagined the device having "illuminated" margins and a wide touchscreen display with tactile feedback, which represe...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Two of Nvidia&#039;s upcoming graphics cards in the GeForce 9900 series got pictured yesterday.

<title>How One-way Mirrors Work</title>
<link>http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-One-way-Mirrors-Work-85259.shtml</link>
<description><![CDATA[A one-way mirror is basically just like any other mirror, just that it has the ability of reflecting light on one side while on the other, it is transparent. Typical mirrors achieve a high degree of reflectiveness on one side, leaving the reverse opaque to optical light. This is done by covering the glass layer with a silvered coating. One-way mirrors, however, use half silvered surfaces in order to achieve a balance between reflectiveness and transparency, in combination with carefully adjusted...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Gamevil USA has just announced a pretty unusual mobile game, named "My Monster Pet", which requires players to raise (and take care of) virtual monsters instead  of usual pets like dogs, cats, parrots, hamsters or whatever people might have in or outside their houses. Well, what kind of mobile gamer needs to raise cats and dogs, anyway? You can do that in real life. While a monster is, um, pretty hard to find in real life.

<description><![CDATA[On the 1st of February 2003, the space shuttle Columbia re-entered Earth&#039;s atmosphere while severely damaged to the left wing. The intense heat generated by the friction with the air eventually weakened the structural integrity of the vehicle and determined its disintegration, killing the crew of seven it was carrying on board. Most of the pieces which resulted in the breakup burned over the sky of Texas, while some reached ground intact.
