Marine deltas on earth can have a range of varied features, tides, morphologies and geological make up, but one common thread that combines them all is that they are situated at the same height above sea level.

Now a fresh report claims a survey of ancient delta deposits at similar height on mars appear to show them draining into a huge ancient ocean.

Whether global ocean once covered the flat lowland regions of the northern Martian hemisphere or not has remained a topic of debate for scientists for decades now.

According to Mr. Di Achille , “if Mars ever had an extensive hydrological cycle with rain, groundwater reservoirs, ice sheets and surface run off towards lakes and possibly a northern hemisphere ocean, then there should be evidence of deltas ringing the margins of these lowlands at a common elevation.”

In order to check their theory, they used global databases of known deltaic deposits and valley networks, in addition to topography data from a laser altimeter aboard NASA’s Mars Observer Spacecraft, which is revolving around the red planet.

They also supposed that most of the Mars’ present topographical features were positioned by the end of the Martian Noachian Era around 3.5 billion years ago.

On combining their data the researchers discovered the shoreline they were drawing was largely consistent with palaeoshorelines as indicated earlier studies.

Besides, they studied deltas formed in closed basins to find any ancient aquifers saturating the crust and systematically appearing on the surface.

In all 52 delta formations were examined along the border between the northern lowlands and southern highlands.

After 5 long years of hype and anticipation, the apple iPad is finally here. While Apple in itself is a technology behemoth, but this tablet computer iPad was perhaps the most awaited product of apple in recent times. The technology industry had divided opinions on the product. Some called it a gizmo from some Hollywood sci-fi flick, others compared it to the holy tablets of stone. Navtej Kohli IT blog brings you a complete lowdown of the much hyped ipad, right from features, configuration, content and cost. So, read on and see for yourself if its really up for the job.

Already in tune with the apple’s other products, iPad is a slim, sleek, and smart looking gadget. Apple is establishing the tablet as a pioneer in a new genre of computing. Affirming this, Steve jobs, the CEO of Apple, said during the launch, “iPad is going to be somewhere between a laptop and a smartphone”
Featuring a 9.7 inch glass touchscreen, this stylish device is only half-an-inch thick and weighs only one-and-a-half pounds. The gadget also promises to display books, newspapers, websites and videos in a very stylish manner. Thus, the application and media companies will have yet another medium to advertise content.

Gaming industry too is not untouched by the frenzy. Referring it to as a large screen real-estate, the iPad is believed to mark a new epoch in keyboard less gaming. With a larger display players will enjoy more flexibility while controlling the games, thereby adding more zing to iPhone games, which are already available. Electronic Arts even stated that Ipad is a little bit like holding a HDTV inches from your face. Nothing can beat it for portable gaming. Besides this, the device also features a speaker, a microphone, and and accelerometer which enables you to switch between landscape and portrait mode.

It, however, doesn’t support a SIM card as the buzz was. Another snag that left the critics shocked is the lack of user facing camera, since video-chats are now considered the lifeline of online chats.

One of the biggest selling points of this aluminum backed device is its speed. As apple has embedded its own proprietary 1GHz Apple A4 chip, flipping through the gizmo is a cakewalk. Initially, the iPad will be launched in 3 models worldwide, ranging from $499 to $699, the tablet will be hitting the market in March.. Also, the device will connect to the web only through a wi-fi connection. However, the second version of the tablet will support 3G wireless access and will be released late this year. Surprisingly, the gadget lacks some common features which we have become used to in our gadgets.

One that immediately comes to head is the missing multi-tasking feature. In recent times, where running multiple programs on your laptop has become a norm, the so called state-of-the-art gizmo lets you run just a single application at a time.

This means, you can’t chat or listen to songs while you arrange your pics or browsing internet for that matter. Additionally, the flash feature, the basic software that manages video and animation on most websites, also doesn’t run on it. Besides, the users will also miss the USB port, especially with a meager 64 GB (maximum) in built storage.

Whether the ipad will be a hit or a miss is a question that time will answer. Until then, just purchase one and flaunt your newly acquired gizmo to the world.

Navtej kohli missed to wish the Google on its tenth Birthday. Decades had past when Google was stared on 7 September 1998 which was first run by two enthusiastic, dedicated techie named Larry Page and Sergey Brin and they stared Google journey in a garage. There is also be an interesting story for choosing that name , its was named by two young Stanford University electrical engineering graduate students in misspell homage to the word “googol” – an infinity-like number denoting 10 to the power of 100 (that’s the number one followed by a hundred zeros).
Google had reached in that position by its rapid growth which never be accompany by any other Industry. But Google journey was started before
1998 , in 1995 Larry Page and Sergey Brin meet at Stanford. (Larry, 24,a U Michigan grad, is considering the school; Sergey, 23, is assigned to show him around.) According to some accounts, they disagree about most everything during this first meeting. Now in the year of 1996 both Larry and Sergey collecting the students for making a search engine called BackRub for the Stanford university and worked near about one year in the servers in the 1996 year they make up their mind to make a Global search engine and named it “googol,” in the year 1997.
When the company was stated its was zero revenue company and now had reached upto 20,000 employees and revenue of around $150bn and its annual income in the year 1997 was $16bn. Now according to statically data now Google shared 66 percent of total searches. Now only search area in which Google had left its footprints but now its growing its features and launched many other things which not only informative but also best source for promoting business across the world .So what should we have to expect with Google .
Now Google also enters into the utility software with the launch of Google Chrome and had downloaded by many users across the world .Currently it is in Beta version but Google is in big hope soon its will share major parts in the web browser tools across the world . Chrome is Google product which now be in competition with Internet explorer , Mozila and Safari . Currently its launch for only Windows Vista and XP users .Google claiming that for those 70 percent Internet
Explorer users across the world at least check out one time Google Chrome , its Google gift on its 10 anniversary to all Internet users , everyone can enjoy fast and secure web surfing with Google Chrome never offered by any other web browser .
While there are many product are in Google owner ship which are now very popular and big reputation in the market. Like first we Look , Google search which be Google main task and its also offered many verities like image search , product search, video search. Google had makes successful mile stone in the SEM and Internet Market and leaving behind internet tycoon Yahoo. Now the Google dominating in SEM and Internet Marketing with its Google Adsense , Google Adwords ,froogle, Google product search , Local search and other business related search option . Google also acquire a big video search company which having big brad name in the Internet Industry , its name is Youtube. Youtube now very popular and most searchable video search engine . Google also dominating Social networking websites. Orkut now very popular and almost 70 person of the world having a profile on the Orkut. Now Goggle also boost many traveling agencies and other business with Google Earth and Google maps which enable user to find each and every location across the world . Yet Google Earth also faced many criticizes from many countries government because it also show easily many curial and important location by easy search and many government feels that its be hazardous for security.
But its be unreliable thing that before 10 years ago Google was launched and now its dominating in web browsing. Some major events Google listed below

1995 – Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin meet at Stanford University.

January 1996 – Page and Brin begin work on the BackRub search engine.

If the inferences of this survey are to be believed, the concept of workable quantum computer might just come true. Renouncing the findings of earlier research, this research proved the possibility of making these computers in silicon rather than a vacuum.

Being much faster than the ordinary computers, Quantum computers are said to have the potential of fixing problems that might take millions of years to solve normally. Quantum computers work when atoms are allowed to move in an undisturbed oscillating wave motion, within a fixed space. The waves thus generated can carry much more information than an average computer bit and hence making the computer programmes needed to crack a code more powerful and
faster.
Previous research in this area was successful to the extent of providing some basis for quantum computer by using atoms suspended in vacuum. However it has not been possible to make enough for a whole computer as scientists can only hold a limited number of atoms in place for a short period of time. Using atoms trapped in a silicon crystal, the research team, which also involved scientists from University College London and Heriot-Watt University, showed that the quantum waves oscillate long enough for a computer operation, and now hope to produce a higher number of computer bits.

The researchers used the ‘free electron laser’ FELIX in the Netherlands to carry out the work which has been published in Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences of the USA.

Microsoft has recently announced that Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) has been released to manufacturing and is available to OEMs and enterprise
customers.

In the meantime, downloads of XP SP3 will begin next Tuesday on April 29. Chris Keroack, release manager for XP SP3 in the Windows Serviceability group, confirmed the news on the SP3 forum on Microsoft’s TechNet site.

The predictions last week were made by Windows community site Neowin, which claimed to have gotten hold of a genuine copy of SP3’s schedule.

That document proved to be dead-on for both April 21, the RTM date, and April 29, the date that Keroack has confirmed Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center would begin offering SP3 for download.

One date remains in question, however. Keroack’s statement points to XP SP3’s release to home users via Automatic Updates in “early summer” — technically June 21 or later — while Neowin has said its document has the date pegged at June 10.

Many users — particularly those with older systems that they don’t feel compelled to upgrade or replace — have been waiting impatiently for SP3 as it wound its way through the development and testing process.

In fact, continued demand for XP was behind Microsoft’s decision in September to extend its commercial availability by five months until June 2008.

Like most service packs, SP3 provides a convenient vehicle to roll up all of the bug patches delivered since the last service pack, XP SP2, which shipped in August 2004.

It also adds one important new feature. SP3 provides support for Network Access Protection — a technology for quarantining untrusted PCs from the network. The technology also comes in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista.

According to certain reports RIM is planning to launch a phone named Thunder. This device would be an answer to iPhone.

BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. plans to launch a touch-screen version of the wireless e-mail device in the third quarter as an answer to Apple Inc’s iPhone.

The device, known as the Thunder, is to be sold exclusively through Verizon Wireless in the US and Vodafone PLC abroad, the Journal reported on its Web site, citing people familiar with the matter.

RIM declined to comment on the report, stating that it does not comment on rumors and speculation. Earlier this week, rumored
details of a touch-screen BlackBerry surfaced on the Internet.

In February, RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie said the company may bring out a touch-screen device if customers want it.

This week, Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM announced its BlackBerry Bold, a sleek smartphone with a keyboard aimed at its core base of business
users.

Introducing a touch-screen BlackBerry would put RIM in more direct competition with Apple’s popular iPhone.

In the past, Balsillie has dismissed concerns that the iPhone could pose a serious competitive threat.

A touch-screen BlackBerry would also build on RIM’s continuing push into the broader retail market as it seeks to diversify its client base
beyond the executives, lawyers and other professionals who have been its mainstay.
