Great Whites Hang Out in 'Shark Cafe'

clipper's remarks: It had long been assumed shark species at the top of the ocean food chain that roam the high seas looking for food and mates did so almost randomly.

But using satellite tagging, acoustic monitoring of shark "hot spots" and genetic samples, a research team led by Professor Barbara Block of Stanford University found to their surprise that the eastern Pacific's great whites are real homebodies.

Over an eight year period, nearly 100 sharks were electronically tagged, and even more had tissue samples taken by scientists working from a ship.

Sticking to a schedule

They found that the sharks consistently migrate along the same paths and stick to a schedule.

Between August and December, the great whites, which can grow up to six metres and weigh three tonnes, stalk waters off the coast of central and northern California, feasting on seals and sea lions.

Their preferred hunting grounds in this area are known as the "red triangle", notes the study.

The ocean's most feared predators hang out together at a deep sea watering hole between Mexico and Hawaii known as the 'White Shark Café', according to a new study.

No animals inspire more fascination and excitement than the great white shark, but scientists admit to knowing precious little about how the endangered species.

Like other open water sharks prized for their meat, they are threatened with extinction.

The new study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B identifies a distinct population and a major new genetic grouping of the great white in the eastern Pacific, only the third such "clade" ever found.

The other two concentrations of Carcharodon carcharias are off the coast of South Africa, and in the waters between Australia and New Zealand.

5 Easy Steps to Stay Safe (and Private!) on Facebook

When the President of the United States warns schoolchildren to watch what they say and do on Facebook, you know that we've got a problem...and it's not one limited to the U.S.'s borders, either. People everywhere are mindlessly over-sharing on the world's largest social network, without a second thought as to who's reading their posts or what effect it could have on them further down the road. For example, did you know that 30% of today's employers are using Facebook to vet potential employees prior to hiring? In today's tough economy, the question of whether to post those embarrassing party pics could now cost you a paycheck in addition to a reputation. (Keep that in mind when tagging your friends' photos, too, won't you?

But what can be done? It's not like you can just quit Facebook, right? No - and you don't have to either. You just need to take a few precautions.

'Race Hammers' Crushed Rush Deal: O'Reilly

(Newser) – "Thought police" in the media who have unfairly skewered Rush Limbaugh as a racist spoiled his bid to become an owner of the Rams, charged right-wing media maven Bill O'Reilly. Now that he's been dumped from the buyers' group after the controversy over his participation, Limbaugh should sue media outlets like NBC and CNN, which helped screw the deal, said O'Reilly. O'Reilly insisted his researchers could not find a single "racially insensitive" soundbite from Limbaugh, who has been pummeled with "false racial hammers."

This is "1984 stuff, thought police," said O'Reilly. "Punishing speech, even when provocative, is not what America is all about." Limbaugh himself said that people are trying to "destroy" his reputation by "tagging" him as a racist. "We are in the process of working to get apologies and retractions with the force of legal action against every journalist who has published these entirely fabricated quotes about me, slavery and James Earl Ray," he said.

Reviews are the Next Social Media Revolution

clipper's remarks: I love learning about trends and trendwatching is a great source of my addiction. It also helps you stay on top of the small business/marketing wave! This article looks at a coming (some might say already present) wave of reviews that will be powered by social media like twitter and facebook. Long gone will be the traditional advertising tricks. Yeah! Read on and rise up you social media, reviewing revolutionaries...

Clip Source: trendwatching.com

"Recommendations by personal acquaintances and opinions posted by consumers online are the most trusted forms of advertising globally. The Nielsen survey shows that 90% of online consumers worldwide trust recommendations from people they know, while 70% trust consumer opinions posted online."

While hundreds of millions of consumer reviews are already zipping around cyberspace, prepare for a deluge of truly biblical proportions.

emerging markets are eager to jump into cyberspace with two thumbs: according to a UN report, there are now more than four billion mobile phone subscriptions worldwide

the proliferation of videocam phones, including Apple's new iPhone 3G S which includes video functionality, geo tagging, and direct upload facilities for YouTube and Mobile, will be yet another push for video-reviews to take off.

neutralize fake reviews posted by malicious consumers or desperate brands

Scale is one thing. Scope is another. No B2C sector is immune to the review virus.

Google Picasa 3.5 released

Google have released version 3.5 of their free image management application, Picasa.

Available for PC and Mac in English only, Picasa 3.5 adds functionality that bring the desktop client features in line with those already offered on Picasa Web Albums. The Linux version of Picasa, which currently stands at version 3.0, has not been updated.

Picasa now offers face recognition with the 'name tags' feature. Similar to iPhoto '09 on the Mac, Picasa analyses your photos, grouping what it deems as similar faces together. You can then apply names to each identified face, allowing you to search photos based on the people that are in them. If you are signed into a Google account, names are handily auto-completed using your contacts database.

Other changes to the application include improved upload, import and sharing functionality, deeper integration with Picasa Web Albums, enhanced picture tagging, the ability to modify date and time on pictures

5 Possible Facebook Features In The Future

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 17:36:34 GMT

Just recently, Facebook added real time search and @tagging to its rich collection of features, followed by the launch of Facebook Lite.

On the other side, Twitter is not just watching. It has announced several upcoming upgrades: Project Retweet, Geolocation Tagging and Statistic Tools for Business.

If you are keeping up with Facebook’s evolution, you would notice its keen adoption of features from other social media sites. With that, Facebook has nothing to be ashamed of (not that they are). In fact, Facebook is the leader of social media partly because of its willingness to embrace ideas that are not of its own.

So what’s next, Facebook? Could it be one or more of the 5 possible features that we thought of?
