Wirelessly upload images to your pc with Wi-Fi SD card

clipped from gizmodo.com
eye_fi_425.jpgThe Eye-Fi 2GB SD Card that can wirelessly transfer pics to your computer just got FCC approval. There’s an 802.11b/g Wi-Fi chip on board, allowing you to upload shots that you’ve taken without plugging in your camera. The feature’s been around in other cameras before—Kodak’s Easyshares come to mind. We’re not sure about the features, but if this can somehow stream pics as you take it and delete them afterwards, you can have a relatively unlimited storage card (as long as the battery in both your camera and the laptop you’re streaming pics to hold out).

Stephen Colbert for president 2008

clipped from www.news.com

The thought of a comedian running for president might have been the plot of a tepid Robin Williams movie until recently, but now there are signs that faux pundit Stephen Colbert may actually want to dip his patriotic toes in the (shark-infested) campaign pool.
Colbert formally announced on Tuesday’s episode of his spoof talk show, The Colbert Report, that he intends to run for president. More specifically, he aims to get his name on the ballot for both the Democratic and Republican primaries in his home state of South Carolina as a “favorite son.”
“And not my mother’s favorite son,” Colbert explained. “She is much too fair-minded to ever show a preference between the eight of us. Right, Mom?”

‘Second Earth’ found, 20 light years away

clipped from www.guardian.co.uk
Scientists have discovered a warm and rocky “second Earth” circling a star, a find they believe dramatically boosts the prospects that we are not alone.
The planet is the most Earth-like ever spotted and is thought to have perfect conditions for water, an essential ingredient for life. Researchers detected the planet orbiting one of Earth’s nearest stars, a cool red dwarf called Gliese 581, 20 light years away in the constellation of Libra.
Measurements of the planet’s celestial path suggest it is 1? times the size of our home planet, and orbits close to its sun, with a year of just 13 days. The planet’s orbit brings it 14 times closer to its star than Earth is to the sun. But Gliese 581 burns at only 3,000C, half the temperature of our own sun, making conditions on the planet comfortable for life, with average ground temperatures estimated at 0 to 40C.
