- .uk.co domain wiped off face of Internet -
The .uk.co domain was wiped off the face of the Internet today morning
with no notice, leaving more than 8,000 livid individuals and businesses -
including Amazon and Priceline - with no Web presence or email. The only proof
of its existence is a posting on www.uk.co from the top-level domain .co owner
- the University of the Andes in Bogota, Colombia - saying that the registrar
for the .uk.co domains Net Registrar had failed to agree terms of a new
arrangement and so it was "no longer entitled to operate uk.co sub-domains".
Therefore, "Net Registrar is not entitled to permit you to use the uk.co
domain names that you had registered with them".
- China to pick 3 astronauts for first manned space flight -

- Secret revealed of 'Mona Lisa' smile - Leonardo da Vinci exploited
a biological property of the human eye - a phenomenon known as peripheral
vision - when he painted the enigmatic smile of the Mona Lisa.
One explanation involves the way the retina of the eye handles light. When
someone looks at something directly, the light falls on a central structure
called the fovea which is specialised to deal with light of high spatial
frequency. But light from objects seen out of the corner of the eye, falls on
the peripheral part of the retina which is better adapted for seeing low or
medium spatial frequency light.
- 'Genetic changes' triggered Man's artistic abilities -
A creativity gene that evolved about 50,000 years ago was the spark that
kindled the development of the modern mind, an expert on human origins said
yesterday. An explosion of art, culture and individual expression that
took place in Africa between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago may have been
triggered by biological changes in the human brain, according to Richard
Klein, Professor of Anthropological Sciences at Stanford University in
California.
- Biology to make mini machines -
Computers of the future will be built not by factory machines, but by
living cells such as bacteria.
That at least is the vision which has been outlined by scientists speaking at
the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in
Denver. They have described how wires can now be made by yeast organisms, and
how solar panels could be built using substances produced by sea sponges.
Researchers believe these kind of technologies will be essential if we are to
continue to shrink the size of electronic devices.
