There Are 129,864,880 Books in the Entire World
Aug 6th
According to Google’s advanced algorithms, there are nearly 130 million books.
…s thesis languishing in a university library). Google admits their definition is imperfect, but it’s workable and similar to what ISBNs are supposed to represent. ISBN, or International Standard Book Numbers, are designed to be unique identifiers for books. Because they’ve only been around for 30-40 years and are used in mostly Western countries, they can’t be used by themselves. That’s why Google took data from the Library of Congress, WorldCat and others to find as many books as possible one billion raw records by the company’s count.Here’s where Google’s engineering talent comes into play. The company used countless algorithms to determine and discard duplicates in an effort that required more than 150 pieces of metadata related to the world’s books to evaluate whether each book record was unique or a duplicate of another. Analyzing this data resulted in 210 million unique books.Next, Google subtracted the millions of microforms, audio recordings, maps, t-shirts, turkey probles (yes, turkey probes) and…

Feds admit storing checkpoint body scan images
Aug 5th
U.S. Marshals Service acknowledges it surreptitiously recorded tens of thousands of images with a millimeter wave system at the security checkpoint in a Florida courthouse.

by bp1212 August 4, 2010 8:28 AM PDT Unfortunately for you, people are choosing not to fly. The airlines are struggling to maintain any sort of profits whatsoever. When government get’s involved so heavily in a private corporation this is what we see. Loss of profit incentive and efficiency. Customer service and customer satisfaction are something the airlines have completely lost the ability to maintain. It’s not wonder the airlines are failing. I for one won’t fly unless there is no alternative. I’d rather drive somewhere than subject myself to the embarrassment that is the airline industry and the TSA. Like this 6 people like this comment

Facebook says ad spending is rocketing
Aug 5th
The very same advertisers who were once skeptical that buying up inventory on social networks could possibly do any good are now, apparently, going completely nuts about ads on Facebook.
…yahoobuzzThe very same advertisers who were once skeptical that buying up inventory on social networks could possibly do any good are now, apparently, going completely nuts about ads on Facebook.
Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg, the company’s most prominent liaison to Madison Avenue, said in an interview with BusinessWeek published Wednesday that the company’s biggest advertisers have boosted their spending on Facebook by tenfold, or even 20-fold, in the past year.
“Two years ago the big brands were experimenting with us,” Sandberg told BusinessWeek. “They started buying with us a year ago. Now, they’re going big.”
Not that long ago, the common wisdom was that advertising on a social network simply wouldn’t translate into profits, a position held by figures as high-up as Google’s chief financial officer. His rationale was that people use social networks for communication and connection with friends, not for researching potential future buying decisions the way they would with a search engine….

10 Reasons Why You Should Jailbreak Your iOS Device Today
Aug 5th
Now that it’s so easy to do–and so easy to undo with a simple restore–we have a list of the top ten reasons you should go jailbreak your device, right now.
…If I jailbreak, am I still able to use the Apple App store? Can I still do everything the same as I do now (except installing new Apple updates when available)?
I really want to enable my iPad to be able to use my iPhone’s cell reception - I think it’ll be one of the only things I use.
And one more question, will I be able to use jailbreakme.com as long as I don’t do an update that fixes the patch? Or will this website and way of jailbreaking go away?
Thanks….

Amazing Chinese Concept: Cars Can Drive Under the Bus (Vid)
Aug 4th
Amazing Chinese Concept envisions a Straddling Bus that cars can drive Underneath it as it does its regular rounds.
…The amazing concept will utilize the road space that is apparent between the street’s bridges and regular vehicles. This in turn will use up space that is not utilized in the first place, reduce building expenses and decrease congestion by allowing the traffic to continue regularly right underneath it.The Straddling Bus will run regularly above normal cars and right beneath overpasses while still maintaining 40 km/h. Moreover, it has a capacity of 1200 passengers with 300 in each cart. Construction of such a project is also a great advantage, for it takes only 1 year to build 40 km, while a subway takes 3 years for the same distance. The best part is that it will not require a place to park, as regular buses do, since it can remain on the road and still allow the traffic to continue as normal.
As the Bus design presents, there are two ways for passengers to climb on this Straddling bus: by loading through the sides and also by a ladder to have passengers climb down from the overpasses and through the…

Best thing going hands down!Lou http://www.remain-anonymous.at.tc Reply CoolStoryTeller August 4, 2010 at 9:11 am I use Security Essentials for live protection because it’s nice and lightweight, but the only time I had a really bad case (Alurean rootkit was the main culprit, I believe it was called), it wasn’t SE but a combination of MalwareByte’s Anti-Malware and Super Anti-Spyware that got them out. Those are the ones I recommend you keep installed for heavy duty use if something ever comes up. Also, you may have to rename the exes if you get a really bad case like I did that blacklist the programs from running Reply Free is great August 4, 2010 at 9:11 am Avast is great.
