Take TRIP to MARS (MARS ONE-WAY)

ONE-WAY TRIP TO MARS

Want to live and die on Mars? Register now take TRIP to MARS. Applications close August 31, 2013.

Mars One has officially begun its worldwide search for astronauts who will fly to Mars in 2023—and never come back.

Mars One has begun accepting video applications for a mission to colonize the red planet in 2023.

The ultimate goal is to select 24 to 40 candidates who will travel to Mars in groups of four. Mars One wants to land the first group (two men and two women, ideally from four different continents, says CEO Bas Lansdorp) on the red planet in 2023, with the other groups following one at a time, every two years. Applications close August 31, 2013.



The nonprofit organization plans to televise the final rounds of the search in 2014, which means the first humans on Mars may be reality TV stars. But first, Mars One is asking the public to rate the application videos to help narrow down the selection pool. According to Norbert Kraft, the chief medical officer and head of the astronaut selection program, aspiring Martians should have five qualities: resilience, adaptability, curiosity, empathy, and creativity.

To filter out spam and frivolous entries, Mars One is charging an application fee that varies by country (it’s $38 in the United States). Applicants must create a 30- to 70-second video that explains why they want to go to Mars, and why they’re the best candidate. The pool will be narrowed to 24 to 40 in 2015.



If you’re one of the (uh, lucky?) people chosen for the program, you’ll move to the United States to spend the next seven years as a full-time, salaried employee of Mars One. Nine months of each year will be spent learning dentistry, emergency medicine, general medicine, engineering, biology, mechanics—anything you might need to know on an inhospitable planet with a population of four.

The other three months of each year will be spent in a Mars habitat mock-up, complete with a 40-minute communication delay to the outside world and simulated emergencies. The hardest thing they’ll face during the simulation? A broken toilet, Lansdorp says. “That’s when people get out of control.”

It will cost $6 billion to get the first group of four to their new home (the reality show is supposed to fund the mission). The company will use SpaceX spacecraft to send rovers and supplies ahead of the astronauts, and then the SpaceX Falcon Heavy will get the crew to Mars, where they will assemble their habitat and begin growing their own food.

Once on the red planet, the crew can do what they want—they won’t be taking orders from Mars One or anyone else back on Earth. “They will make a new civilization,” Kraft says. “They will make their own holidays, their own laws. We need to send mature people, because we won’t be telling them what to do.”

Apple's profit falls for first time in nearly a decade!!(said Apple chief executive Tim Cook)

Apple reported Tuesday that its quarterly profit dipped for the first time in nearly a decade.

It squeezed less money from its champions in the competitive smartphone and tablet markets.

The maker of iPhones, iPads, iPods, and Macintosh computers swiftly stepped in to bolster its stock price by announcing a plan to more than double to $100 billion the amount it will spend to buy back its stock and pay out dividends.

Apple raised a coming stock dividend by 15% to $3.05 per common.

“We are very fortunate to be in a position to more than double the size of the capital return program we announced last year,” said Apple chief executive Tim Cook.

While Apple coffers bulged with $144.7 billion, the company said most of that money is offshore and it will be shrewder to borrow cash to implement the stock buy-back plan.

“We will fund the capital return program from operations and borrowing,” said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple’s chief financial officer.

Apple shares jumped briefly on the news in after-hours trades but slid back down to $405.12, about a dollar below where it was at the close of the Nasdaq.

The California-based company posted a profit of $9.5 billion on revenue of $43.6 billion in the first three months of this year, compared to a profit of $11.6 billion on $39.2 billion in the same quarter in 2012.

It said its gross margin, or the amount of money it makes in profit from its devices, shrank to 37.5% from 47.5%.

The number of iPhones sold in the quarter rose to 37.4 million from 35.1 million during the same quarter last year.

The number of iPads sold surged to 19.5 million from 11.8 million a year earlier, the earnings figures showed.

Meanwhile, sales of iPod MP3 players dropped by more than a million to 5.6 million and Macintosh computers sales slipped about two percent to just below four million, according to Oppenheimer.

The Apple board raised the overall stock repurchase limit to $60 billion from $10 billion.

Cook said that the decline in Apple stock in recent quarters has been “very frustrating for all of us.”

Shares in Apple are well below their 52-week peak above $700 in September as the tech giant faces tougher competition from South Korea’s Samsung and others in the busy smartphone and tablet technology sector.

“Although we’ve achieved incredible results, we acknowledge our growth rate has slowed,” Cook said during an earnings call with financial analysts.

“We will continue to focus on the long term and we remain very optimistic about our future.”

Cook remained adamant that Apple was well-positioned in the booming smartphone and tablet markets.

“This is the same company that brought you the iPhone and the iPad, and we have a lot more innovations in the works,” Cook said.

He said the company had “some really great stuff coming in the fall and across all of 2014.”

Revenue in Greater China was up 11% to $8.8 billion, with iPad sales more than doubling despite Apple reporting that growth had slowed there.

“Market share is important, but these other things, for us, are extremely important,” Cook said. “We do want to grow faster, but we don’t look at it as the only measure of our health.”

The iTunes shop pulled in more than four billion dollars in revenue in the first three months of the year, setting a new record, according to Oppenheimer.

Star Wars Weapon just $852,000,000,000,000,000 only!! THE IRL DEATHSTAR

THE IRL DEATHSTAR

Building a massive space weapon is all very well, but you have to find the materials to build it with. It’s easy to say that “sure, the Death Star would be expensive” but is there actually enough iron in the Earth to make the first Death Star? Centives decided to find out.

We began by looking at how big the Death Star is. The first one is reported to be 140 km in diameter and it sure looks like it’s made of steel. But how much steel?

We decided to model the Death Star as having a similar density in steel as a modern warship. After all, they’re both essentially floating weapons platforms so that seems reasonable.

Scaling up to the Death Star, this is about 1.08×1015 tonnes of steel. 1 with fifteen zeros.

Which seems like a colossal mass but we’ve calculated that from the iron in the earth, you could make just over 2 billion Death Stars.



You see the Earth’s crust may have a limited amount of iron, but the core is mostly our favourite metal and is both very big and very dense, and it’s from here that most of our death-star iron would come.

But, before you go off to start building your apocalyptic weapon, do bear in mind two things. Firstly, the two billion death stars is mostly from the Earth’s core which we would all really rather you didn’t remove. And secondly, at today’s rate of steel production (1.3 billion tonnes annually), it would take 833,315 years to produce enough steel to begin work.

So once someone notices what you’re up to, you have to fend them off for 800 millennia before you have a chance to fight back. In context, it takes under an hour to get the steel for HMS Illustrious.

Oh, and the cost of the steel alone? At 2012 prices, about $852,000,000,000,000,000. Or roughly 13,000 times the world’s GDP.*



But then again, you can just take out a loan from the entire planet and then default on them in the most awesome way possible.

(For the record when converting between iron and steel, Centives assumed a medium steel of 99.5% iron)

*Centives erroneously reported this figure as $8,100,000,000,000,000, which was off by a magnitude of 100. We’d like to thank commenter Ianvl for pointing this out.

Despite our original error, the cost of the death star still comes out to be 13,000 times the world’s GDP as we originally reported. Sincere apologies for the mistake.

Google help to plan your DEATH!!

Google doesn't want you to worry about the afterlife.

Atleast what's left of your digital assets once you're gone.

Google 'Inactive Account Manager': New Feature Helps Users Plan For Death.

Google's new "Inactive Account Manager" feature lets the user choose what to do with her data if her account is not used for a long period of time.

Announced in a blog post Thursday, the feature is targeted at people who want to create an automated digital will, however, the service could also be useful in less morbid situations -- when a user can no longer access her account, for example. (What if you plan to go on a lengthy expedition outside Wi-Fi range and need to put your Gmail on pause?)

Users can set their inactivity preferences from their Google Account settings.

Among its attributes, the Inactive Account Manager can suspend an account after a "timeout period" of three, six, nine or 12 months; notify specific contacts and send them data; and, in the most extreme cases, delete an account altogether. Google also offers the option to send the user a text or email message before taking any of these actions.



In the case of complete deletion, all the online data from a user's Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive and Google+ will be wiped out. However, the service is available only for personal accounts; it currently does not apply to Google Apps accounts.

Though users may be worried that the feature could inadvertently suspend an account after the timeout period, Google assures that it detects activity by considering a number of factors, including sign-ins, web history and Gmail usage.



While social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have their own procedures for dealing with deceased users' data, some third-party services have also offered to fill that need. Online storage site SecureSafe, for one, allows users to assign certain files to beneficiaries.

(RNN) - In the digital age, settling your estate is not the only thing many need to think about.

A new Google tool gives users the power to decide what happens to their digital assets, including email, photos and data, should they pass away.

"We hope that this new feature will enable you to plan your digital afterlife — in a way that protects your privacy and security — and make life easier for your loved ones after you're gone," the company wrote on their Public Policy Blog. -

Google I/O May 15-17, 2013 (with NEXUS7 and more)

Watch sessions live and connect with other developers at Google I/O Extended events worldwide. 

 Brought to you by our Google Developer Groups, Student Ambassadors, and local developers, Google I/O Extended lets you experience the magic and innovation of Google I/O remotely.

Google I/O is an annual developer conference featuring highly technical, in-depth sessions, and showcasing the latest from Google's product teams and partners.

The event is open to people 16 years old and over. The 5,500 Google I/O attendees are primarily web, mobile, and enterprise developers building applications in the cloud with Google and open web technologies. 

Products and technologies featured at Google I/O include Android, Google+, Google Chrome, Google Glass, Google Apps, App Engine and other Google Cloud Platform products, Maps, Commerce, Google TV, and more.

Part viewing experience and part community building, I/O Extended programming includes everything from live streaming the Google I/O content to local developer demos, hackathons, and speaker sessions.

The annual Google I/O developer conference has been scheduled for 2013, which means you should start making plans soon, if you are going to attend.

The conference will be held May 15th through the 17th and once again the venue is Moscone West in San Francisco. 

You might recall that last year's conference sold out in 28 minutes. Registration plans will be announced in February, Google usually gives out some cool freebies which last year included a Google Nexus 7 tablet, Chromebox, Samsung GALAXY Nexus and a Nexus Q. It added up to over $1,100 in free merchandise
 

The Google Play Store, Google Nexus 7, the Nexus Q and went skydiving with Google Glass. Last year's show was held in June but this year the event will be held one week before the CTIA show in Las Vegas.
Google usually releases an app that makes navigating the event easier. Stay tuned!

Google I/O 2013 is where Google, and particularly Android, gets to have its Apple-like Big Reveal Moment. 

Conference hours

7:00am - 1:00pm	9:00am - 5:00pm	9:00am - 5:00pm	2:00pm - 7:00pm

This year, in mid-May, Google is almost certain to talk about new devices, a new version of Android, and, most likely, some surprises that nobody had a handle on--just like last year. 

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some leaks, rumors, and indicators to sketch out an image of this year’s Google announcements.

The next Nexus 7 is a lot like the existing Nexus 7

Here’s one rumor that has some credibility and actual names behind it: the next version of the Nexus 7 mini-tablet, perhaps dubbed the Nexus 7.7, may not use NVIDIA’s Tegra chipset, opting instead for Qualcomm hardware, according to Barron’s and tech stock analysts. 

That’s a very specific supply chain intelligence leak that makes a certain amount of sense--Google does move around on its vendors quite often.
