Astronomers discover a planet that was so uniquely precious, lying 4,000 light years away from Earth there exist a planet that could be made of diamonds, according to report of Reuters. Scientist claims that it could be the densest planet ever discovered and consist mostly of carbon. Since it is so dense, the carbon must be crystalline, so effectively most of the part of this exotic planet be diamond.

“In terms of what it would look like, I don’t know I could even speculate,” said Ben Stappers of the University of Manchester. “I don’t imagine that a picture of a very shiny object is what we’re looking at here.”

So if you think that this is Avatar came true, don’t look back cause if that’s possible earthlings could be harvesting that exotic diamonds in the near future.

Chrome OS: In November, Google gave the world a sneak peek at its Chrome operating system, which is expected to be released later this year.  The Chrome OS is Google’s most direct attack on Windows with an OS built from the ground up to run Web apps fast and furious.  Already a Google is rumored to be working on a Chrome Netbook which will show the world what is possible with it a “Web OS.” It sounds like it would be perfect for Tablet computers also (see above).  Chrome is a risky bet for Google, but it is also potentially disruptive.

Relation between Cell Phone and Brain Tumor – Latest Study

Relation between CellPhone and Brain Tumor
A new bit of data has emerged about the idea of cell phones and the brain tumors.
Seems that Environmental Working Group released data just recently that detailed just how much radiation you’re sucking up when you’re on the phone actually and then Los Angeles Times followed that with a strange study. Check this out:
when the data from 23 studies was pooled together, there was no conclusive link between brain tumors and cell phone usages. This by itself would be interesting if not necessarily newsworthy, but when the Times jiggered the evidence a bit, comparing data from the “eight strongest studies”, they found out that cell phone users had between a 10 to 30 percent higher chance of getting brain tumors, with the more time spent on the phone being higher risk than those who spent less.
And then, here’s the weirdest point: seven out of eight of those “strongest studies” were all conducted by the SAME GUY IN SWEDEN

If you feel that texting does not express your mood while you type an SMS, then new 'light messaging' by Nokia of Finland might just do the trick for you.

The company has filed a patent on a new breed of cellphone capable of 'light messaging', which could enable users to send a text with a background colour that clearly expresses their mood.

According to New Scientist magazine, the phone's software allows one to choose a colour that represents his or her mood: red for raging angry, perhaps, blue for sad, or yellow for mellow. The colour is encoded with the message, and is used to illuminate an LED array on top of the recipient's similarly equipped light-messaging phone.

WINDOWS 7

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp launched Windows 7 on Thursday, its most important release in more than a decade, aiming to win back customers disappointed by Vista and strengthen its grip on the PC market.

The world's largest software company, which powers more than 90 percent of personal computers, has received good reviews for the new operating system, which it hopes will grab back the impetus in new technology from rivals Apple Inc and Google Inc.

"They met expectations but that was pretty much it," said Michael Gartenberg, a long-time Microsoft analyst at market research firm Interpret after a launch event in New York. "They showed off some very cool things, but now they have to keep the momentum going."

The new system -- which is faster, less cluttered and has new touch-screen features -- comes almost three years after the launch of Vista, whose complexity frustrated many home users and turned off business customers.

The success of Windows -- which accounts for more than half of Microsoft's profit -- is crucial for Chief Executive Steve Ballmer to revive the company's image as the world's most important software company.

"Windows 7 is a chance for us to let the PC be not only more interesting but just simpler and faster for the many, many hundreds of millions of people who use them," Ballmer told Reuters Television in an interview on Thursday.
