MatthewsThe Orlando Sentinel(MCT)WASHINGTON - If astronaut Lisa Marie Nowak's life was falling apart, she gave no hint to her colleagues at Johnson Space Center in the days before her arrest in Orlando on a charge of attempted murder.She finished her workweek as usual Friday before starting her scheduled vacation, according to NASA managers.That weekend, Nowak drove nonstop to Orlando, where she assaulted Air Force Capt.

Mobile giants plot secret rival to Google 1969-12-31 17:59:59 Europe's biggest telecoms groups are aiming to create a mobile phone search engine that could challenge Yahoo! and Google, the US giants.Vodafone, France Telecom, Telefonica, Deutsche Telekom, Hutchison Whampoa, Telecom Italia and one American network, Cingular, are among the companies that will come together for secret, high-level talks at the mobile industry's biggest annual trade show in Barcelona next week.Declining call revenues are driving network operators together to compete against Google and Yahoo! search enginesFaced with declining revenues as calls become cheaper, network operators are determined to secure a large slice of the lucrative search advertising market.In the UK alone, more than 20 per cent of subscribers are expected to have access to mobile internet at broadband speeds by the end of 2007, which should prompt a dramatic increase in the use of search engines via mobile phones.The initiative will come as a surprise to Google and Yahoo!, which have lost no time in ...

Intel readies the next generation of PC chips 1969-12-31 17:59:59 SAN FRANCISCO: Intel will demonstrate an experimental computer chip Monday with 80 separate processing engines, or cores, that company executives said provided a model for commercial chips that would be used widely in standard desktop, laptop and server computers within five years.While the chip is not compatible with Intel's current chips, the company said it had already begun design work on a commercial version that would essentially have dozens or even hundreds of Intel-compatible microprocessors laid out in a tiled pattern on a single chip.The chip design is intended to exploit a generation of manufacturing technology that the company introduced last month. Intel said it had changed the basic design of transistors in such a way that it would be able to continue to shrink them ? offering lower power and higher speeds ? for at least another half decade or more.Nitan Borkar, one of the chip's designers, showed an air-cooled computer based on the chip running a simple scientific calc ...

Google Watch - Gmail - Google Opens Gmail to You. Yes You. 1969-12-31 17:59:59 Almost three years after its launch, Gmail is now available to all comers. Google continues to refer to the e-mail app as a beta product.When the Gmail launched on April Fool's Day in 2004 and offered 1GB of storage, a lot of folks thought Google was pulling their leg. After all, Hotmail and Yahoo only offered 2MB.But Gmail, which now offers almost 3GB of storage, ended up redefining how Web users think of e-mail applications and hinted that Google would be an app-building powerhouse. Hotmail and Yahoo have scrambled to catch up.Gmail's debut ruffled a lot of feathers, though. Privacy advocates were taken aback by Google's intent to sell ads on e-mails.

The app is now called Google Mail in the UK and Germany. Google Watch - Gmail - Google Opens Gmail to You. Yes You.. ... Google
