Hollow glass stops drinks being spiked | |
|
A design student has come up with an invention he hopes will help eliminate drinks being spiked in bars.
Tom Martin, 23, has created the "Hollow" glass as part of his final year of a design degree at London's Brunel University. The idea for the glass came after a friend was sexually assaulted when her drink was spiked in a bar last year. He says the Hollow could stop future attacks happening because it is impossible to tamper with drinks in it. | |

Nokia takes aim at iPod |
|
Nokia unveiled new premium phones on Wednesday that included one with an MP3 music player that it said will outsell Apple's iPod and a camera phone that it forecast will surpass Canon, the world's top digital camera maker.
The world's top mobile phone maker expects its new luxury "Nseries" handsets, which feature built-in hard drives and high-quality camera lenses, to boost sales by differentiating it and increasing its industry-leading margins. Chief Executive Jorma Ollila said Nokia would sell 25 million smartphones -- handsets that offer limited PC-type functions like e-mail, more than double the 12 million it sold in 2004. |

|

Vladut R, from Constanta, lived for three years with his wife Monica but says he couldn't go on with the "ordeal" because he loved her sister. The man met the "love of his life" - Elena - a few years ago during a trip to France. They were supposed to meet up again back in Romania but the woman decided not to stay in touch after she suffered an accident and needed time to recover. |

Beware how you google |
|
A simple misspelling of Google's domain name could lead to a Web surfer's worst nightmare. In a new twist to the old practice of "typosquatting", virus writers have registered a slight variation of Google Inc.'s popular search-engine site to take advantage of any users who botch the spelling of the google.com URL.
The malicious site, googkle.com, is infested with Trojan droppers, downloaders, backdoors and spyware, and an unsuspecting user only has to visit the page to be at risk of computer hijack attacks, according to a warning from Finnish anti-virus vendor F-Secure Corp. Via Thundersnake. |

Jessica Alba: 'Bruce Willis Was Scared To Kiss Me' |
|
Former Dark Angel star Jessica Alba was stunned when she had to kiss Bruce Willis for a scene in their hit movie Sin City - because he nervously tried to back out of doing it.
Alba, who plays a stripper in the movie, was ready to get intimate with the Die Hard hardman when he suddenly asked director Robert Rodriguez if they could approach the scene differently. She says, "It was easy for me. I've done a few kisses in my day... We had this big romantic kiss and it was supposed to be like this big epic beautiful kiss... like you're anticipating this thing." |

Restaurant Fined for Throwing Out Kissing Lesbians |
|
A Swedish lesbian couple who were thrown out of a Stockholm restaurant in 2003 for kissing won an appeal on Monday against an earlier court ruling that cleared the restaurant owner of sexual discrimination.
The Court of Appeals in Stockholm ordered restaurant owner Aziz Cakir to pay 50,000 crowns (3,700 pounds) in damages and to cover the legal costs of Sweden's ombudsman against sexual discrimination, HomO, which filed the appeal. Cakir asked Anna Fernstrom and Susanne Gustafsson to leave his restaurant after they kissed and later told police he did not let anyone engage in such behaviour on his premises regardless of their sexual orientation. |

Computer Virus Spreads to Human |
|
A software developer from Houston, Texas has become the first human to contract a computer virus, microbiologists have confirmed.
John Newman, an employee of vTouch Systems, came into contact with the virus through the use of a neural interface that his company is developing. Avril DuChamps, a spokesperson for vTouch Systems, confirmed yesterday at a press conference that Newman had come down with the virus. All activities at vTouch have been suspended until further notice. W32.0401.Worm The virus, which has subsequently been identified as a variant of the W32.0401.Worm computer virus, appears to copy itself by exploiting a protocol vulnerability in the electroencephalogram neural link that vTouch Systems is developing to connect a human brain with external devices. The virus is also unique in that it has the flexibility to toggle its reproductive code based on the medium in which it resides. Originally programmed in C++, it can shift to RNA-based replication once in an organic substrate. While relatively harmless in the digital realm, W32.0401.Worm has caused some health problems for Newman, who is suffering from a mild fever and severe diarrhea. |

The American moon rocket Ranger IV has landed on the far side of the moon but has failed to send back pictures due to a technical fault.
It is the first time an American spacecraft has successfully reached the moon - the Russians achieved the first ever lunar impact in 1959. However, the main aim of the mission - to take television pictures of the lunar surface - was not achieved after all internal power on board the spacecraft failed two hours after launch. The Ranger IV Atlas-Agena rocket, which took off from Cape Canaveral on 23 April, is one of the most sophisticated space machines ever developed. |

Airbus v Boeing: The next battle |
|
The Airbus A380, which is expected to cross the Bay of Biscay during its maiden flight on Wednesday, is unlikely to be watched with much pleasure on the other side of the Atlantic.
The Americans, or at least those in charge, are severely peeved at how a leg-up by European governments ensured the world's largest passenger plane was built in the first place. Why so disgruntled? Mainly because of how it has affected the indigenous aerospace giant Boeing. Two years ago, Airbus overtook Boeing to become the world's best-selling aircraft maker, and with the A380 it has stolen yet another march on its rival, pipping it to the top spot in the large aircraft long-haul market which was dominated by the Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet for four decades. |

Market challenges facing Airbus' giant |
|
Superlatives often surround any mention of the Airbus A380 passenger jet.
France's President Jacques Chirac has described the giant plane as the "crowning achievement of a human and industrial adventure", while Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair has dubbed it "the most exciting new aircraft in the world". When the double-decker A380 takes off for its maiden flight - weather permitting - across the skies of France on Wednesday, it will certainly be the world's largest passenger airliner. But does Europe's flagship commercial jet, which is due to come into service next year, have what it takes to be a financial success? Airbus clearly thinks so. |

Woman Finishes Anthem on Morning News Show |

The Montreal singer was to perform the national anthems of two countries before the United States' 5-4 exhibition victory over Canada on Friday in Quebec City. Despite two tries, she forgot the words to the U.S. anthem and then left to get the lyrics. When she returned to the rink, she slipped on the carpet covering the ice and plopped on her back before a Quebec Coliseum crowd of 7,166. After lying motionless for a few seconds, the 24-year-old Canadian left on her own and the game began without either anthem sung. |

The rider also includes the 20-year-old performer's dressing room demands, which include a jar of pickle relish and a "Ubiquitous Deli Platter with appropriate condiments." We're pretty sure someone besides Ashlee came up with (and spelled) the word ubiquitous. |

Other students reported that the girl exposed her breasts and performed oral sex on the boys on the bus, Maj. Stan Stout said. All three students were suspended from school pending a hearing, he said. A spokesman with Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools declined to comment. What exactly are crimes against nature?

Developing Pakistan: Minority rule | |
|
by Miguel Loureiro
Why is Musharraf in power? It isn’t because of his political skills, it isn’t because of his socio-economic skills, and it definitely isn’t because Pakistanis love military dictators. It’s because he promised Pakistanis (and “the West”) an enlightened and moderate state Do you know what is a legislative election? It’s a process by which the citizens of a country (i.e. the people) select the people (or political parties) they wish to represent them in a legislative assembly (e.g. the National Assembly). In other words, the people choose a party that will then create laws for improving their country and their lives. Do you know which party won the last (2002) legislative elections in Pakistan? Well, according to the official results PPPP got 25.8 percent votes, PML-Q got 25.7 percent, independent candidates got 14.1 percent, the MMA got 11.3 percent, PML-N got 9.4 percent, and so on. So that means that the citizens of Pakistan (the ones that voted) chose first the PPPP to create laws, second the PML-Q, third the independent candidates and fourth the MMA. Full article here. | |

ID row bad news for transatlantic travellers |
|
THE US and the European Union are embroiled in a row over biometric passports that may soon make it much harder for people to travel across the Atlantic.
The US has stipulated that any passport issued after October 2005 carried by a foreign visitor must include a biometric chip. These new passports are intended to increase security by including data encoding the owner's facial characteristics, fingerprints or iris scans, stored on a chip embedded in the document. This should make it harder to fake a passport, and also speed up border controls. The EU has agreed to issue its citizens with biometric passports, but wants the deadline extended to August 2006 to give it more time to address what it says are serious security and interoperability issues. The US is unlikely to extend its deadline, as it has already agreed to postpone introduction of the new passport from 2004 until 2005, at Europe's request. |

Germans get rowdy in queue for naked women |
|
Organisers of a performance-art show featuring 100 naked women had to call in police reinforcements to control a long and impatient queue of people, police said on Saturday.
Scuffles broke out late on Friday as people tried to jump over the barriers to get closer to the women, aged between 18 and 65, wearing see-through stockings and greased with baby oil, who arranged themselves according to the instructions of United States artist Vanessa Beecroft, for the show, dubbed VB55. |

We polled our staff and contributors, whose prejudices have resulted in a fascinating take of the nature of automotive coolness. We whittled their selections down to a highly subjective list of the 100 Coolest Cars, presented here in descending order. Let the arguments begin!

Man Honored as "Village Idiot" |

The competition was fierce and foolish, but a man who accidentally sawed through a live electrical wire and topped that by wrecking his truck only hours after buying it earned the honorary title "Village Idiot".
Mark Carmichael's blunders won him the good-natured award that's been handed out for years in the tiny Brown County town of Story. The winner is whoever gets the most votes from regulars at the Story Inn's saloon. |

Building nanomachines out of living bacteria |
|
LIVE bacteria could one day act as reconfigurable components for nanoscale electronic circuits, or even a scaffold for building nanomachines.
"Nature has developed these fantastic building blocks," says Robert Hamers of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "Our approach is to simply grab onto them very gently." His team have been using electrodes to manipulate individual bacterial cells, they will report in a future issue of Nano Letters. |

So much for outsourcing |
|
The Indian offshore outsourcing industry has been rocked by the revelation that call centre workers in Pune have been arrested for allegedly looting $350,000 from the accounts of Citibank's US customers.
The three staff are former employees at Indian business process outsourcing (BPO) firm Mphasis, which runs call centre services for Citibank's US customers in Bangalore and Pune. Nine other gang members were also arrested. The former Mphasis staff used their positions dealing with Citibank's customers to trick four of them into giving out the PIN numbers to their accounts, allowing the staff to transfer funds into the bank accounts of other gang members. |

Bin Laden Bribed Afghan Militias, German Officials Says |
|
The head of the German intelligence agency, in an interview published here today, said that Osama bin Laden had been able to elude capture after the American invasion of Afghanistan by paying bribes to the Afghan militias delegated the task of finding him.
The principal mistake was made already in 2001, when one wanted bin Laden to be apprehended by the Afghan militias in Tora Bora," the intelligence official, August Hanning, said in an interview with the German business newspaper Handelsblatt. "There, bin Laden could buy himself free with a lot of money," Mr. Hanning said. With all the high-tech gadgetry and sophisticated weapons, the American pussies had to rely on the poorly armed and untrained Afghans. Talk about common sense! |

The clock, called SleepSmart, measures your sleep cycle, and waits for you to be in your lightest phase of sleep before rousing you. Its makers say that should ensure you wake up feeling refreshed every morning. Some people would want that in their wives |

Pandemic-causing 'Asian flu' accidentally released |
|
The virus that caused the 1957 “Asian flu” pandemic has been accidentally released by a lab in the US, and sent all over the world in test kits which scientists are now scrambling to destroy.
There are fears the virus could escape the labs, as the mistake was discovered after the virus escaped from a kit at a high-containment lab in Canada. Such an escape could spread worldwide, as demonstrated in Russia in the 1970s. The flu testing kits were sent to some 3700 labs between October 2004 and February 2005 by the College of American Pathologists (CAP), a professional body which helps pathology laboratories improve their accuracy, by sending them unidentified samples of various germs to identify. |

Carjackers swipe biometric Mercedes, plus owner's finger | |
|
A Malaysian businessman has lost a finger to car thieves impatient to get
around his Mercedes' fingerprint security system. Accountant K Kumaran, the BBC reports, had at first been forced to start the S-class Merc, but when the carjackers wanted to start it again without having him along, they chopped off the end of his index finger with a machete. The fingerprint readers themselves will, like similar devices aimed at the computer or electronic device markets, have a fairly broad tolerance, on the basis that products that stop people using their own cars, computers or whatever because their fingers are a bit sweaty won't turn out to be very popular. They slow thieves up a tad, many people will find them more convenient than passwords or pin numbers, and as they're apparently `cutting edge' and biometric technology is allegedly `foolproof', they allow their owners to swank around in a false aura of high tech. | |

Law May Curb Cell Phone Camera Use | |
|
Cell phone camera voyeurism will soon be a federal offense if the Video Voyeurism Prevention Act of 2004 continues its nearly unopposed march through Congress.
The bill, designed to protect people's privacy from prying camera phones, needs only to pass the House of Representatives and to be signed by the president to become law. While Congress didn't consider it before recessing this week, proponents say chances are good the bill could pass this year. Still, cell phone manufacturers, while not actively opposing it, are quietly skeptical of laws that criminalize cell phone camera snooping. | |

French and Muslim Impossible |
|
For those that were able to catch it, the BBC recently showed an interesting and relatively objective presentation of the implementation of the new ban on religious symbols within schools on Tuesday evening at 9pm (BBC2).
The ban on religious symbols within schools has caused much stir and particularly amongst the Muslim community who feel the new law has been created to target the already much victimised and discriminated against descendants of immigrants in France. The law, which aims to preserve secularism within State run institutions, states that no religious symbols must be apparent which might lead to someone being associated with a certain belief system or religious inclination. Much has been said about the headscarf ban and so I will let you browse the innumerable sites dedicated to this theme, however I would like to address the broader issue touched on by the show, which is that of being a Muslim in France. |

Why Modi, butcher of Gujarat, backed out of Britain! |
|
Leaders love the lights, but Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi was not coming to London just to watch Gujarati folk dance at the 'Vibrant Gujarat' show at the Royal Albert Hall, or even to announce some new multi-crore investment by some British Gujarati. In the shadows of what turned out to be a non-visit lay the political agenda of building up a Hindu candidate for the British Parliament.
An Operation Hindu Vote has been going on for a little more than a year in Britain now. It's an attempt to harness the community vote so as to get something back via the MPs who benefit from it. "We are getting in touch with other Hindu leaders, and we want to launch the initiative countrywide," Kanti Patel from the Operation Hindu Vote campaign told Outlook earlier. Modi in Britain would have helped Labour in Gujarati-heavy areas at a time when Tories are chasing its tail. |

An irate businessman was chucked off a flight at the Easter weekend when he allegedly kicked up a fuss because Nationwide Airlines flight crew would not allow him to read Loslyf magazine on the aircraft.
"Nowhere on my ticket does it say that this magazine may not be read on the aircraft," said Capetonian AC Hoffman on Monday. "And, I held the magazine in such a way that not even the woman in the seat next to mine could see what I was reading." Do you want more Loslyf? Sure you do, here can see the Miss Loslyf contest. |

Topless Alyssa Milano Found Within Microsoft Office Install |
|
A Swedish security group said Friday that they had discovered erotica stored among files inside Microsoft's Office XP suite.
The default installation of Microsoft Word, the group said, includes an explicit love letter from "Bill" to an unnamed recipient. One of the PowerPoint template files on the same disc includes a topless photo of celebrity Alyssa Milano, according to the Iannde security consultancy. Microsoft apparently discovered the files some time ago. The letter and image file stored on the Office disc are unpacked onto a user's computer when the Office suite is installed. However, when the Office suite is patched and updated, the files are overwritten with more prurient content, Iannde reported. In the case of the so-called "Bill" letter, the file (\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\Elegant Letter.dot) is replaced with generic text. Milano's digital image appears during a transition in the "Curtain Call" template (\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Presentation Designs\Curtain Call.pot) where an animated curtain briefly swings open to reveal the image of a topless Milano before the next slide is presented. When the Office suite is updated via Windows Update's Office Update feature, the file is replaced with one that lacks the transition, Iannde said. |

A Slovenian TV programme that tried to prove top models were brainless bimbos was scrapped after an ex- Miss Universe turned out to have a higher IQ than a nuclear physicist.
Iris Mulej, Miss Universe 2002, was found to have an IQ of 156 by scientists working for the programme makers. She had to take a series of logic tests looking at spatial awareness, mathematical equations and problem solving ability. The test result forced Slovenia TV, the state broadcaster, to cancel its programme involving the model who left school at 16 to pursue a modelling career. |

Physicists Slow Speed of Light |
|
Light, which normally travels the 240,000 miles from the Moon to Earth in less than two seconds, has been slowed to the speed of a minivan in rush-hour traffic -- 38 miles an hour.
An entirely new state of matter, first observed four years ago, has made this possible. When atoms become packed super-closely together at super-low temperatures and super-high vacuum, they lose their identity as individual particles and act like a single super- atom with characteristics similar to a laser. Such an exotic medium can be engineered to slow a light beam 20 million-fold from 186,282 miles a second to a pokey 38 miles an hour. |

The Beatles were satanists that had made a pact with the devil, and the bill had to be paid to the coven. Every band that has made a pact with satan has had a member die. Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, etc. In an interview with Barbara Walters, Lennon assassin Mark David Chapman clearly demonstrated that he was a satanist. In other words he was an errand boy collecting the payment for satan’s bill. He would then go on to shoot Beatle John Lennon to death.

Father's surprise: call-girl daughter |

An Israeli couple are preparing to divorce after the man summoned a prostitute to his hotel room only to discover she was his daughter.
The tale of family turmoil began some months ago when the father, a businessman based in the city of Haifa, was sent by his company to a course in the resort of Eilat for four days. The Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv reports that the man took advantage of the visit to summon a call girl to his room on his first night there. And that was when everything started to go horribly wrong. |

Those bathing suits may look nice, but when I am at the beach this summer I would rather see some different kind of bikini, don't you agree? |
