|
|
|
|

Google announced yesterday that the company is currently testing a prototype service used to search TV programming.The engine dubbed "Google Video" allows users to search across text from TV shows like Fox News and ABC News. Google started indexing TV shows in late December aiming to compete with various other TV search providers.
"Now users can search the content of thousands of TV programs, find the shows that have the information they're looking for, and learn when they can watch them," Google co-founder Larry Page said in a statement.Currently, providers of TV search like Yahoo! and Blinkx TV are said to be stepping up their technology after the Google announcement.

LeapFrog unveils talking computer pen |
|
|
|
|
|
|
N EW YORK (Reuters) - LeapFrog Enterprises Inc. announced the launch of its FLY "pentop computer," a talking, computerized pen that can translate words into other languages, or help with math and spelling homework.
LeapFrog said the product will give users audio feedback as they write and draw on special FLY paper.
For instance, the company said a user can draw a calculator, touch the handwritten digits and functions to perform an operation, and then hear the answers announced.
LeapFrog said a group of children aged 8 to 13 helped to develop the product, and it will offer a range of applications for learning, communicating and playing. Emeryville, California-based LeapFrog has been plagued by weak sales and earnings misses, and recently said it relied too heavily on its LeapPad business.
The past year has hurt investor confidence in the company and it has made sweeping changes to its management team.
LeapFrog had been a Wall Street star since its 2002 initial public offering, but a string of dismal reports from the company hurt its credibility with investors, and its shares have taken a beating since October.
LeapPad is a junior-sized laptop system that holds interactive workbooks that teach skills like reading and math. The company makes educational toys for children from infants to high school students, but its focus has been on younger children. The company has said it wants to expand its product lines for older children and develop learning aids for adults. From here

About the published geographic atlas by NGS : 7 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Correction of unbelievable mistake of National Geography by that Institute was the important news of the past week. If remember, by reviewing the historical documents in this Site in a summarized and useful manner, I pointed out a published atlas which used false Arabian Gulf under the name of Persian Gulf Now they have only corrected it. Do you know that they were only going to run away the pressure of its shame and damages? You ask why? Because they have made this correction too in a formalism way. There is an integrated page in that site which is not possible to access via any part of the site. This is one of the public pages of the site. As I said it is integrated namely has no active link and it is not possible to use it as a news or informing link. After the mistake of applying Arabian Gulf, which destroyed its good previous efforts at least among Iranians, it was really the last confirmation for the existence of not so hidden hands and seems it is not going to be correctable.
Anyhow, all interests of the Institute affected in Iran and the entrance of its monthly magazine as well as its correspondents were prevented.
It seems that I must write another letter to him. Wait.
Color texts, is link.

Anders Ericsson still remembers the last words his 2-year-old son, Ragnar, spoke before being washed away in the waves of Thailand's tsunami.
"Daddy, I'm scared. Please help."
Ericsson's voice breaks as he tells of the tragedy. He is among many anguished parents searching for their children after the earthquake-triggered tsunamis swept through coastal communities from Thailand to East Africa on December 26, killing more than 155,000 people.
