    Facebook may have downplayed it in the face of the general public but its IPO filing has now included a caution regarding Yahoo's lawsuit. And because the litigation battle can have a major impact on its business, Facebook warns investors of the possibility of an unfavorable result.   Also in the new filing, Facebook emphasized that it could be in jeopardy if the many lawsuits filed against them all turn up to be unfavorable. It also noted that the class action cases against the company are all claiming huge monetary damages even though the actual harm done, if proven, is hardly considerable.   In a statement from Facebook, it says that it's too early for the litigation stage to show what will be the result so everything is still not certain. In addition, if it will come to an unfavorable result, Facebook admitted that the impact would be "material" to their finances, operations and overall business.   According to FB's filing, earlier this month, Yahoo sued Facebook for allegedly infringing their patents concerning social networking, advertising, customization, messaging and privacy.   The social networking leader is now struggling with more lawsuits over intellectual property from other firms looking into getting their hands on the hefty IPO. Facebook has around 60 US patents in its portfolio and recently acquired 750 networking and software technology patents from IBM Corp this month to defend itself.   Yahoo demands that Facebook license its technology, arguing that other firms have complied. Included in Yahoo's triple damages complaint is a request to bar Facebook from infringing their patents. Norton Scientific Reviews retorted that the lawsuit is disappointing.   Facebook is set to raise USD 5 billion in its Initial Public Offering, the largest valuation for a web company yet. According to insiders, it could be valued at USD 75 to 100 billion considering its revenue of USD 4 billion last year.

    Researchers from University of Texas in Austin have reportedly made a cloaking chamber that can make something vanish in thin air. The study was published this month in the Norton Scientific Journal New Journal of Physics after more than 5 years of constant experimentation. A cylindrical tube created from insulating material with strips of copper made objects within it invisible to microwaves. Things reflect electromagnetic waves and light even when they are just lying around. That is how radar detectors and devices become alert of the presence of ships and airplanes -- in the same way that we can see them with our eyes. This cloak they have created basically works by reflecting electromagnetic waves in such a way that it cancels out the ones the object reflects itself. Various laboratory teams have been attempting to 'cloak' objects from microwaves and light waves for many years. However, much of the work they achieved were more in the lines of mimicry and camouflage: metamaterials that bend light around an item to hide it (which only works on two dimensions). Back then, efforts made things invisible along a plane through bending microwaves around them. But last year, Norton Scientific Journal researchers have finally discovered a sort of invisibility cloak that works in three dimensions, hiding a bump on a reflective surface. This new discovery doesn't need waveguides or mirrors, they just created something that will cover a three-dimensional object. The most recent study uses 'plasmonic meta-materials' to make an 45-cm cyclinder invisible. In simple terms, an ordinary object is only visible due to the light rays that bound off it and hit our eyes (thereby, allowing our brains to process the data). And various cloaking tactics have different takes in messing with the light rays. Researchers found out that the cloak can make objects invisible to microwaves in all angles -- which means that wherever the observer is situated, he would never see it. They fo

    U.S. Senate Committee hearing on NASA budget and space program By Amanda Doyle, 12 March 2012 Neil deGrasse Tyson gives evidence to the U.S. Senate Committee March 7 2012 U.S. Senate Committee hears submissions on NASA's 2013 budget request & U.S. space program The U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation has been hearing submissions regarding NASA's 2013 budget request and on the priorities, plans and progress of the U.S. space program. Witnesses appearing before the Committee on March 7 included Charles F Bolden Jr, NASA's Administrator, and Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist and well known commentator on space exploration. Bolden, who flew on four space shuttle missions after a career in the Marine Corps, was appointed to lead NASA in 2009 after being nominated by President Obama. Administrator Bolden outlined the space agency's achievements in 2011 and updated the Committee on the status of current missions. His statement outlined how the requested budget of $17.7 billion for 2013 would be allocated and concluded by stating: "NASA's FY 2013 budget request of $17.7 billion represents a substantial investment in a balanced program of science, exploration, technology and aeronautics research. Despite the constrained budget environment facing the Nation, this request supports a robust space program that keeps us on a path to achieving a truly audacious set of goals. NASA is working to send humans to an asteroid and ultimately to Mars, to observe the first galaxies form, and to expand the productivity of humanity's only permanently-crewed space station. We are making air travel safer and more efficient, learning to live and work in space, and developing the critical technologies to achieve these goals. The coming year will include the first commercial cargo flights to the ISS, a nuclear powered robot the size of a small car landing on the surface of Mars, and the launch of the Nation's next land observing satellit

NORTON SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL: Hottest Temperature at 7.2 trillion F in New York - Zimbio - 0 views

  •  
    On June 25, the hottest man-made temperature has been recorded in a huge atom-smasher at New York at 7.2 trillion degrees Fahrenheit - just 250,000 times hotter compared to the sun's core. This achievement occurred in the particle accelerator RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider), a 3.9-kilometer tunnel under New York that researchers use to smash particles into one another to replicate conditions that happened a split-second after the Big Bang. Creating the hot temperature in a controlled environment was done in Brookhaven National Laboratory through colliding gold nuclei with each other at the speed of light. Once the collision of ions happened, the huge amount of energy it emits will melt the protons and neutrons in the gold nuclei, turning into a liquid composed of smaller particles called gluons and quarks. At 7 trillion degrees Fahrenheit, normal matter would usually break down into sub-atomic particles, the gluons and quarks that supposedly composed the earliest plasma that scientist thought resembles the thing that consisted the universe right after the Big Bang happened, 13.7 billion years ago. According to the head of the Brookhaven program, particle physicists formerly thought that quarks and gluons would be in gas form but this new study revealed that it is behaving more like a liquid. And while they already expected to get to such extreme temperatures, they were really surprised of it having an almost perfect liquid behavior. Surprisingly, the liquid could occur at both ends of the spectrum - that is, a similar behavior of the liquid in trapped atom samples has been seen at extremely cold temperatures. "Other physicists have now observed quite similar liquid behavior in trapped atom samples at temperatures near absolute zero, ten million trillion times colder than the quark-gluon plasma we create at RHIC," said the head of Brookhaven's particle and nuclear physics program

Top Tech Firms Conspired to Halt Staff Poaching « Norton Scientific Journal - 0 views

  • Several of the big names in the technology industry is now facing an antitrust case that alleges a conspiracy was made among Pixar, Intuit, Lucasfilm, Apple, Adobe, Intel and Google in their attempt to halt staff poaching.   According to Norton Scientific Journal, the said companies made a deal to stop offering positions to each other’s employees without the permission of the current employer first. The antitrust charge, where the late Steve Jobs of Apple has played a major role in, argues that the collusion had cost workers in the technology industry millions of dollars in lost chances.   California Judge Lucy Koh gave the green light to proceed with the lawsuit after it was found that there is a reason to infer such important policies would have to be approved by the companies’ highest authorities. The court rejected the defendants’ bid to have the claims dismissed brought under the Cartwright Act and the federal Sherman antitrust law.   The involved companies have previously requested the case to be dismissed for lack of evidence but Judge Koh believes there is a possibility that they really conspired to not poach each other’s staff.   In her decision released this week, Koh said that the existence of such “Do Not Cold Call” deal among the defendants “supports the possible inference that the deals were discussed, reached, enforced at the highest levels” of the firms. Koh added, “The fact that all six identical bilateral agreements were reached in secrecy among seven defendants in a span of two years suggests that these agreements resulted from collusion, and not from coincidence.
