Exclusives from Spock's people search engine

People searches are the most common search done in the web. It is also among the most difficult searches as many people have similar names and even similar birthdates although they have no relation at all. And people are mobile, so no one can be truly sure where they are staying. Still each person stays in touch at least with another person and the chain goes on so it just takes patience to connect the links. Well, you just need a little patience nowadays with the swiftness of Internet in gathering information. Presence of mind is a must though, a focus on the subject you want to discover.

Filesharing on Unlocked iPhones

People with unlocked iPhone and iPod Touch gadgets are happy to find that they can now share music and media files through a new application. Songs can be downloaded via a p2p network with the average Wi-Fi download speed being approximately three minutes. Movie downloads are taking a little over an hour on the average iPhone using this new application. Download speeds are about twice as fast for those people using the AT&T EDGE network rather than a standard Wi-Fi connection. The application is still in beta, the speeds aren't good enough for most people and there are apparently some bugs to work out but people who love their iPhones feel that this is a step in the right direction for media sharing.

Cognition Enhancer Research

oschobero writes to tell us the Economist has a look at pharmaceutical research as it applies to cognition enhancers. While the research is obviously focused on things like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and schizophrenia the resulting drugs may also have a benefit to healthy minds. "Provigil and Ritalin really do enhance cognition in healthy people. Provigil, for example, adds the ability to remember an extra digit or so to an individual's working memory (most people can hold seven random digits in their memory, but have difficulty with eight). It also improves people's performance in tests of their ability to plan. Because of such positive effects on normal people, says the report, there is growing use of these drugs to stave off fatigue, help shift-workers, boost exam performance and aid recovery from the effects of long-distance flights.

Are People In China Happy With The Great Firewall?

We've heard this argument plenty of times in the past, but a recent study suggests that 85% of people surveyed in China are perfectly fine with the Great Firewall, saying that they believe the government has a responsibility to "protect" them from dangerous content. Of course, this is always how the government has positioned the filter: not as "blocking" content it doesn't like, but as protecting citizens from "dangerous" content. Before people act surprised about this, take a step back and recognize that if you did the same study in the US, asking if the government should be protecting children from "bad stuff" online, many Americans would naturally say yes. That doesn't necessarily mean that either is okay -- but does suggest how different the answers are based on how the question is positioned.

Hugh Pickens writes "About 60 people from 20 nations will descend on the MIT campus July 14th for the second annual International Development Design Summit to begin an intensive month-long process of creating technological solutions for the needs of people in the world's developing nations.

Previous products of Smith's design class include a bike-powered corn sheller, a metal press that can make clean-burning fuel out of agricultural waste, and an electricity-free incubator.

Blogtalk: Obama's F.I.S.A. Vote

Obama not only sold out the American people with his vote on FISA, but he lied to the people like me who supported his campaign with my time and money. Look at the Democrats who voted against FISA, like Hillary and Harry Reid and Chuck Shumer. Why couldn’t Obama vote against it? He told us he wouldn’t triangulate like the other politicians, and that is precisely what he is doing. With his support for the death penalty and his opposition to gun control, what has Obama become? Now I know why people voted for Nader in 2000.
