Yahoo Adds Features to Popular E-Mail

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 21:43:06 GMT

clipped by: dorine

Yahoo Inc. will introduce new features Monday for its popular Web-based e-mail program, including software that allows computer users to type text messages on a keyboard and send them directly to someone's cell phone.

The enhancements make it easier to send e-mail, instant messages or text messages from a single Web site - no need to launch or toggle between separate applications or devices. The features will be available to users in the United States, Canada, India and the Philippines.

The most obvious beneficiaries will be parents, who will be able to use their keyboards to type messages sent to their children's cell phones - no thumb-twisting typing on a dial pad,

"We're giving you the right way to connect at the right time with right person," said Kremer, whose two preteen sons vastly prefer text and instant messages to e-mail.

Healthy People And Enhancement Drugs

According to a new study, people's willingness to take a pill or drug depends on whether the trait the drug promises to enhance is one they consider fundamental.

As many young people without diagnosed disorders or deficits take Ritalin or Adderall to improve concentration or anti-depressants to lift their moods, this study examines what makes healthy people willing to take pills.

"We suggest that people's willingness to take psychological enhancements will largely depend on beliefs about whether those enhancements will alter characteristics considered fundamental to self-identity," the authors write.

they found that participants responded more positively to a drug promising to help them become "more than who you are," than one that would allow them to become "who you are

The most common reason participants said they wouldn't want to take a pill was because it would "fundamentally change who I am."

New You By 2018

clipper's remarks: Therapeutic: Cloning for tissue replacement is already happening, as stem cells have successfully grown new heart tissues in patients. Researchers believe replacing muscle, bone, skin; even neurons, teeth, eyes, and other organs could be in beginning stages by 2018.

Augmentation: Procedures expected to be in place by as early as 2015 include improved memory recall, simultaneous language translation, long range and microscopic vision on demand, wide spectrum hearing, distinctive voice projection, and stronger muscles. And by mid-to-late-2020s, “nanobots” monitoring each of our cells could keep us ageless and forever healthy.

Designed Evolution: These could include memory, intelligence, speed, agility, and other behavioral and physical attributes. Eliminating undesired genes that might pre-dispose a child to cancer, heart disease or alcoholism could be possible by about 2015.

In just ten short years, you may be looking into the mirror and wondering, “Who is that gorgeous creature?” Your reflection would reveal a much younger and healthier you; with natural hair color, youthful skin, perfect vision, real teeth, a spring in your step, and an incredibly sharp mind and memory.

Welcome to tomorrow’s futuristic world of biotech enhancements, which forward thinkers believe will be widely available and affordable by 2018.

The Institute for Global Future’s Dr. James Canton believes a trillion dollar health enhancement market will evolve in the next decade.

Enhancements fall into three categories: Therapeutic, Augmentation, and Designed Evolution.

Therapeutic refers to restoring normal capabilities to disabled or dysfunctional patients.

Augmentation means enhancing performance levels beyond the norm.

Designed Evolution refers to modifying our children prior to conception and after birth

$3 billion super soldier program: 10 times muscle endurance, 7 foot vertical leap, wall crawling, personal flight and more

DARPA today has a long-term, $3 billion program to help make such a “Metabolically Dominant Soldier.” In other words, the military is studying how to use technology and biology to meld man and machine and transcend the limits of the human body. Described the project director, “My measure of success is that the International Olympic Committee bans everything we do" The $3 billion program is definitely trying to achieve transhuman performance goals.

The wearable gear would enable running at 100 meter olympic sprinter speed for hours and the 7 foot vertical leap, the wall crawling, personal flight, invisibility, greatly enhanced strength, better body armor and carrying bigger and more powerful weapons.

The drugs and genetic enhancements and some technology which gets applied would allow for regeneration, faster healing

Top Pentagon Scientists Fear Brain-Modified Foes

clipper's remarks: Probably they are worried not to be the FIRST to develop such enhancements. Thanks to the God of War without whom we could not possibly fathom such inventions.

There's concern in some corners of the U.S. military about "enemy activities in sleep research," neuro-pharmaceutical performance enhancement, and "brain-computer interfaces."

particularly concerned about (and excited by) new drugs that promote "brain plasticity"

-- rewiring the mind, essentially, by helping to "permanently establishing new neural pathways, and thus new cognitive capabilities."

The scientific group also wants the military to keep close watch on the hardware and software which connects the human brain to machines.

Northrop Grumman just won a Pentagon contract to develop binoculars that will tap the subconscious mind.

a Brain-Computer interface...

...may arise in a feedback mode, in which a the interface provides a soldier with a simple signal or a pain/pleasure pulse in response to externally provided situational information.

SANTA ANA – A Yorba Linda attorney accused in a $154 million surgery scam out of the now-closed Unity Outpatient Surgery Center in Buena Park had previously been sanctioned for similar alleged wrongdoings at other southern California clinics.

In the Unity case, Roy Chester Dickson, 60, is accused of laundering as much as $3 million and using his attorney client trust account to keep Unity open and running, according to a criminal indictment unsealed Friday.

He is charged with 106 felonies, including 30 counts of grand theft, 30 counts of insurance fraud and 30 counts of making false and fraudulent claims, as well as white collar sentencing enhancements for pocketing more than $ 3 million.

Flock 2.0 Beta Adds Firefox 3 Improvements to Social Browsing

Windows/Mac/Linux: The social-focused, Firefox-based web browser Flock has opened up a 2.0 beta for early adopters and helpful testers. The major "feature," at least this early in the development, is that Flock 2.0 incorporates all the memory use, performance, and other features and enhancements from the nearly-here Firefox 3, while keeping all the nifty social networking/Gmail/blogging integration features that Jason outlined in his screenshot tour of Flock 1.2. There's a few small tweaks along the lines of interface and convenience, but the developers promise more new stuff during a long development cycle. Flock 2.0 beta is a free download for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

New Firefox Web browser to be released Tuesday

A new version of the Firefox Web browser is scheduled for release Tuesday with improvements in security, speed and design.

Many of the enhancements in Firefox 3 involve bookmarks. The new version lets Web surfers add keywords, or tags, to sort bookmarks by topic. A new "Places" feature lets users quickly access sites they recently bookmarked or tagged and pages they visit frequently but haven't bookmarked.

Yahoo is the only Web service initially supported. To use rivals like Google Inc.'s Gmail and Microsoft Corp.'s Hotmail, developers of those services will have to enable that capability first.
