Evolution Can Behave As Differently As Dogs And Cats

A Duke University study suggests that evolution can behave as differently as dogs and cats. While the dogs depend on an energy-efficient style of four-footed running over long distances to catch their prey, cats seem to have evolved a profoundly inefficient gait, tailor-made to creep up on a mouse or bird in slow motion.

The National Ballet does a six-step

The National Ballet of Canada thought differently about how to promote its productions in order to get consumers to think differently about ballet. It asked five agencies and students from OCAD's advertising program to each develop a campaign for one of six ballets for the 2008/2009 season. The goal is to attract younger audiences and sell more single tickets rather than subscriptions.

Retailers And Content Companies Flood The iPhone App Store For The Holidays

With the holiday season coming up, it’s worth taking a look at what retailers, mobile content companies, game-makers, and advertisers are doing on the iPhone’s App store to capitalize on the big money-making event—especially since this is its first year and there’s no past experience to learn from. I see two camps forming: One by retailers, which are trying to create easy-to-use apps that encourage purchases; and one by content companies, which are hoping downloads will spike from people cashing in gift cards for a game or other entertaining app. It will be interesting to see what people learn from this holiday and how they will do things differently next year. Already, one thing I can see Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) doing differently is by adding a temporary “holiday� category since finding everything was not intuitive.

Travel-Trailer for The Chronicles of Spellborn

Travelling and discovering new areas is done quite differently to other MMORPGs in The Chronicles of Spellborn. Since the world of Spellborn is divided in different shard realms floating through the Deadspell Storm, other means of transport are necessary than just walking or riding. In order to travel to the different rock realms, the fantasy online-roleplaying game offers impressive journeys on so-called shard ships. Similar to sailing boats these massive vehicles are able to fly from one shard to another through the magical Deadspell Storm.

Anni Rossi, 'Wheelpusher': Free MP3 of the Day

Yahoo updates its search marketing platform

Yahoo updates its search marketing platform - Yahoo has recently made changes to its search marketing platform. It has started to treat the modification/changes to existing ads in the account differently than it used to. How? Previously, when an advertiser made changes to his ad, the changes will overwrite the existing ad copy, but he still retains the same ad id for that particular ad. If the advertiser makes changes to his ad now, his modified ad will over write the existing ad, but more importantly he also gets a new ad id and loses his old ad id. You may ask so what difference does it make? Example: An advertiser creates 2 new ads for his ad group chocolates.

Updated: Carriers Report Text Messaging Surge Following Election Results

imageTurns out Barack Obama’s campaign wasn’t the only one using text messaging during the elections. Wireless subscribers used election day to send them, as well, leading to at least a 10 percent spike above normal, according to three of the top four U.S. carriers. All the carriers extrapolated data a little differently, but they all recorded a bump. On Sprint’s CDMA network, the carrier saw 21 percent higher volume in text messaging nationwide than it had the previous four Tuesdays. Verizon (NYSE: VZ) saw a 21 percent jump in SMS traffic from a typical Tuesday as well; it also said MMS traffic was up 10 percent. Finally, T-Mobile said it experienced holiday-like SMS traffic levels, which were up about 10 percent from a typical day.

Bill Clinton Gets on the Phone to California Voters

The 42nd president's voice can be heard on robocalls made to California voters urging them to vote no on Proposition 8: "This is Bill Clinton calling to ask you to vote 'no' on Proposition 8 on Tuesday, November 4th. Proposition 8 would use state law to single out one group of Californians to be treated differently -- discriminating against members of our family, our friends, and our coworkers.

Don't use BR for layout

We have had so many conversations here about using (or not using) tables for layout, that I had forgotten about another layout "tool" that many people like to use - the BR tag. While I wouldn't go as far as Janko who says that the br element sucks, but it is not a good choice for spacing out content. It's better to use padding or margins on your elements to get the spacing you need. It's more precise (every browser can display the br differently) and if you use flexible measures (like em or %) your spacing will flex with your page size.

Nov 12, 2008 Farelogix Announces Open Source Agent Desktop Application

Farelogix has announced Project Hawkeye, the travel industry's first open-source, web-based travel management point-of-sale application. Scheduled for first public download on March 26, 2009, Hawkeye can be used as an off-the-shelf agent desktop, or customized and extended to fit a particular customer's business, preferences, or workflow needs. "Traditional point-of-sale systems have become a real barrier to innovation in our industry," said Jim Davidson, president and CEO of Farelogix. "We are in a world where travel suppliers and travel agencies want to buy and sell products differently to optimize their relationships, but the closed systems and proprietary user interfaces in place today don't allow them to.� The Hawkeye application is designed to support air, car and hotel shopping, booking and servicing, including unbundled selling

Crazy Mars Craters

With all the different spacecraft orbiting and roving on the Red Planet, we're finding that Mars is a wonderfully diverse and dynamic planet, with some unusual landforms. Take craters, for instance, and especially a few images of craters from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRISE camera. The image above shows a small impact crater on the bright north polar ice cap, near where the Phoenix lander sits, now silently. The perennial, or permanent, portion of the north polar cap consists almost entirely of water ice, and so this curious-looking crater in the ice has never melted away. And its obvious how differently craters are formed in ice; ice ejecta just doesn't look the same as soil! This crater is about 66 meters (215 feet) in diameter, and scientists think the slightly elliptical shape of the crater is a result of an oblique, or a sid

Nanotechnology: What Is It and Why Do Law Librarians Need to Know About It?

Research into the science and use of nanotechnology has existed for a few decades, but only recently has the potential of this technology become more widely known. Despite the advances in the field, a poll released last month indicated that half the U.S. population has never heard of nanotechnology. What, exactly, is nanotechnology? The Foresight Nanotech Institute defines nanotechnology as an emerging technology in which the structure of matter is controlled at the nanometer scale (a nanometer is one billionth of a meter). It is at this level that unique properties are observed in some materials. At the nanoscale level objects act differently than they do at the large scale level. Certain materials are more effective at conducting heat, or are stronger and more durable, or reflect light better.

Data privacy, security laws have far-reaching impact

Massachusetts has enacted data privacy and data security regulations that will make it eke out California for the most wide ranging state privacy and security laws -- laws that are likely to impact the policies, practices, procedures, contracts and training used by companies nationwide. The Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation determined that there was a significant need for set of comprehensive standards that ensure businesses are taking practical steps to safeguard personal information. While many of these practices are probably adopted by most companies in some way, shape or form --now a laundry list of minimum standards will be required. And, since it may be impractical for a company to treat information collected from Massachusetts residents differently than others--many companies across the country will n
