Nintendo’s increasingly asserted its position in a market dominated gaming device, beat its competitors, Microsoft and Sony. Analysts rate is the rise Nintendo console sales increase again who had dropped some time ago.

The comments came after Nintendo released data that says unit sales of their Wii gaming devices increased significantly during Thanksgiving. In the U.S. alone, more than 550,000 Wii units were sold in just one week period.

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter estimates, Wii were sold during November approximately 1.1 million of the total digelontorkan as many Wii 2.4 million units. Its competitors, to sell no more than the amount of gains achieved Nintendo.

Since the start of the latest-generation console battle in November 2006, which at the time the PS3 and Wii has just launched and followed by the Xbox 360, Wii has become the dominant player in this market, outperformed the other competitors.

The use of GPS technology (Global Positioning System) for navigation purposes are not only felt by humans alone. One named Puffin birds are now joined sampled GPS technology sophistication.

The scientists speculated that the decrease in the number of Puffin caused by climate change and increased pollution levels. But the allegation was still raise many doubts. To find out the cause with certainty, the scientists got the idea to complement each bird with GPS technology.

This idea is intended to monitor the movement of birds, including at the time looking for food in winter. This device also provides information feeding behavior of birds, such as how often they dive for food and how much depth and temperature of the sea where they find food.

Dr Richard Bevan, of Newcastle University hope all the information summarized by the GPS will give you clues to find the cause of decline in the number of Puffin.

“The data collected will help explain all the things done and we will Puffin origin mengulik Puffin number dropped dramatically,” he added.

In the last five years, various types of sea birds, especially Puffin is decreasing drastically. Isle of May which was in the north sea, is the largest Puffin colony in England. Number of Puffin on the islands earlier, down from 70,000 in 2003 amounted to only 41,000 fish in 2008.

The phone with touch screen technology is not expected to talk a lot in 2010. But, recognized touchscreen phone sales will rise only slightly.

“If the price is below Rp2 million touchscreen would be more acceptable,” said Usun.

Meanwhile, Djatmiko Wardoyo, principal director of Global Teleshop say, graphic touchscreen mobile phone sales last year were kept creeping up.
“But not too big when compared with mobile phones that use the keypad,” said Djatmiko.

In 2010, touchscreen phone, go Djatmiko, still would lose.

“In Global sales Teleshop the bottom could be said, still controlled by the folding mobile phone, slide, and candybar that has keypad, touchscreen phone this year, most are still in education and was received by the Indonesian people,” he said.

Indonesia Society, described Djatmiko still not used to using touhscreen.

“Still a long educational, try again in a way that it is difficult to type a sms using the touchscreen, ‘firmly Djatmiko.

The team from the University of Bristol and the University of Sheffield, spent six months to create a robot named Scratchbot mice.

These mice robot designed to search for victims who suffered from the ruins. Scratchbot can find those buried by the rubble with their whiskers. This clever mouse can find the victim covered with smoke in a fire.

Deputy Director of the Bristol Robotics Laboratory Dr. Tony Pipe sure that ‘Scratchbot’ will renew how to use robotic technology in search and rescue missions.

“Furthermore, the application for this technology could be developed further to be robots for search missions in the underground, underwater, or even a thick smoky conditions,” said Pipe.

“Sensor technology in mouse whiskers could be used to identify and find the object and can move in places difficult to reach,” he added.

Telegraph, Thursday (2/7/2009) launch, the creators of robots belonging to the project by terinsiprasi COST mice have a habit of observing the surrounding environment by using a mustache. Even with the help of a mustache, in the dark even a mouse could recognize his surroundings.

Therefore this mouse complement scientists with a mustache that has sensors. At the time of operation, the sensor on the mouse whiskers can determine the texture, position and shape of an object.
