One of the main issues with all the netbooks currently available on the market is that, despite having been designed for portability, they are not able to deliver enough battery life for users to fully enjoy the benefits of having a netbook. This is all the more true in the case of a 3-cell or a 4-cell battery, which... |

We have already seen, earlier this year, how MSI's bet on the netbook market, the Wind, can boot into an OS X operating system.

One of the biggest issues with today's netbooks is related to their battery lifetime.

The change in the circulation patterns of oceanic currents is likely to have been the key mechanism for the abrupt climate change that took place during the last glacial period of Earth more than 21,000 years ago.

The tornadoes are short and small storms, but the most violent of all types. They emerge and evolve over the inland continental areas. The best conditions of tornado formation appear when a cold air current chokes with a mass of wet warm air, giving birth to enormous dark clouds (called cumulonimbus). These clouds ... |

Every 11 years, the Sun experiences its own "storm season," with violent explosions in its atmosphere, with an energy equivalent to a billion megatons and travelling towards Earth at about 1 million km per hour (about 0.05% the speed of light), though sometimes much faster. Predicting such events is not easy, but no... |

A new discovery made by NASA's Wind spacecraft (launched in November 1994 and deployed to study radio and plasma that occur in solar wind, in the Earth's magnetosphere), showed that helium acts like a sort of throttle for solar wind, regulating its speed by setting a minimum one. The solar wind is a strea... |
