A new law goes into effect today and it affects every newborn baby.
Starting today, the state law requires all babies to get a heart screening test before they're discharged from the hospital. The simple exam can help identify heart defects.
The procedure, called a pulse oximetry test, measures the baby's blood oxygen levels. It helps doctors identify dangerous heart problems that can otherwise go unnoticed. Doctors say nearly one in every 100 babies can have heart defects.
Governor Cuomo signed the "Pulse Ox" law into effect last August.

Vitamin C boosts kidney stone risk: Study
Men who take high-dose vitamin C supplements may be at added risk of developing kidney stones.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Findings from a large Swedish study suggest that men who take high-dose vitamin C supplements may be at added risk of developing kidney stones. Data for the study was from middle-aged and elderly men who had not had kidney stones.
Researchers found that the men who took vitamin C supplements were twice as likely to develop kidney stones as were men who didn't take any vitamin supplements.
Although the findings need to be confirmed by other studies, researchers say they may be relevant in advising men who've had previous kidney stones to avoid high-dose vitamin C supplements.
While Mayo Clinic kidney specialists agree, they note a level of uncertainty due to conflicting studies. Even so, given the lack of data that shows benefit from high-dose vitamin C supplementation, they say it's reasonable for men prone to kidney stone formation not to take more than 500 mg a day of vitamin C supplements.

Watch Dogs built using a brand new engine called Disrupt
Ubisoft has apparently built a second next-generation game engine for their ambitious new title Watch Dogs.
Anyone with an interest in game development might be forgiven for thinking that the Anvil Next engine that powers Assassin's Creed III was being used to make Watch Dogs but instead Ubisoft has built a second next-gen engine called Disrupt.
Watch Dogs' technical director Sebastien Viard said on Twitter, "Watch Dogs uses a brand new engine called Disrupt, developed specifically for the game at Ubisoft Montreal. It's not Assassin's Creed engine."
The game's development is being led on the PC at Ubisoft Montreal with the help of Ubisoft Bucharest, Paris, Quebec and Newcastle-based Driver studio Reflections. It has been confirmed for release on PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U.

Miley Cyrus And Katy Perry Kiss At Bangerz Tour
Katy Perry attended Miley Cyrus' "Bangerz" concert in Los Angeles last night and this happened…
Via E! Online:
Cyrus was performing "Adore You" and in the middle of the song, she bent down to give the "Dark Horse" singer a smooch. "I just kissed a girl and I really liked it a lot," Cyrus declared after the duo's spontaneous moment, which was captured in this fan's Instagram video. And the blond beauty also made a perfect reference to Perry's smash hit from 2008.
After the show, Cyrus added a snapshot of the two ladies kissing to her Twitter account, along with several lip emoji icons.

iPhone 5 launch: Apple's latest powerhouse or a snooze?
Will the newest iPhone be a juggernaut that boosts the U.S. economy, or a ho-hum piece of technology?
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Will the newest iPhone be a juggernaut that boosts the U.S. economy and sends Apple's already-high stock soaring even further into the stratosphere, or will it be a ho-hum piece of technology that leaves consumers cold?
With Apple set to launch the latest version of its trend-setting phone Wednesday, we spoke to some experts about what kind of new bells and whistles to expect, and what kind of impact the new phone will have on the market.
What's it called?
While most commentators are referring to the new phone as the iPhone 5, Apple hasn't confirmed that's what they'll be calling it. (Actually, as per their usual custom, they haven't even officially confirmed they're launching a new phone). And last time everyone expected Apple to announce an iPhone 5, they threw the world a curveball and called it the iPhone 4S instead.
What'll it have?
In all likelihood, says Jefferies and Co. analyst Peter Misek, the new iPhone won't be a radical redesign, even though there will be some new bells and whistles. One of the more significant changes Misek expects to see is an ability to use high-speed LTE/4G networks.
"I expect it will be LTE enabled, and that it will have a 4-inch screen instead of a 3 and a half. It will probably also be thinner, and there will be some tweaks to the OS, but that's pretty much it," said Misek.
Another suggestion floating around the internet is that the new phone includes a different-sized charging port, meaning that none of those extra devices people had previously bought to plug their iPhones into (say a clock radio or charger) would fit the new one.
Some observers are also expecting — or at least hoping — that the new phone will be enabled with a Near Field Communications (NFC) chip. That would enable you to use your phone as a wallet, for example, simply by tapping it on an NFC-enabled reader. NFC technology is also used in some cars.
Will it be a hit?
According to JP Morgan Chase analyst Michael Feroli, sales of the iPhone 5 could boost the size of the U.S. economy by up to half a percentage point in the fourth quarter. Apple could sell as many as 10 million of the new iPhones by the end of September alone, according to Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray Cos. By contrast, it took Samsung Electronics Co. about 50 days to sell 10 million of its flagship Galaxy S III smartphone.
According to some estimates, the iPhone already accounts for roughly 70 per cent of Apple's profits.
Is it a game-changer?
Even though Apple will sell millions of the new phone, it won't radically alter the landscape of the smart phone industry, Misek says.
"There's essentially a duopoly between Apple and Samsung right now, and this isn't going to change that," Misek predicted.
That said, Apple's marketing prowess means the new iPhone will make life even more difficult for smaller players, such as Research in Motion's BlackBerry, or Nokia's Windows-based phones.
"It's going to crowd out everything else in the market. It's going to be very difficult for anyone else to get any kind of attention," said Misek.

GOP senators focus on EPA's long reach, not nominee
WASHINGTON — Even the Republicans who are the most critical of the Environmental Protection Agency had few questions on Thursday about whether Gina McCarthy, President Obama's pick to be the nation's top clean air and water watchdog, has the qualifications for the job. But the agency's regulatory practices got a lashing at McCarthy's Senate confirmation hearing as Democrats and Republicans acknowledged that the agency under her leadership was likely to take the lead in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the absence of significant congressional action on climate change.
"Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our generation," McCarthy told the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. Courts have determined that carbon emissions are a pollutant under the Clean Air Act and the agency will pursue regulation of them, she said.
The central functions of the agency have been "obfuscated by ideology," said Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana, the top Republican on the committee.
Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., argued that tougher emission rules for power plants have stunted the market for domestic coal and said the EPA was failing the country.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, said Barrasso had made it clear that the debate over McCarthy's nomination was less about her qualifications than about how Congress should address climate change. Republicans want to do as little as possible, Sanders said.

More Good News for Coffee Drinkers
That daily cup may help protect your eyes.
By Kiri Tannenbaum
Special Offers
Coffee may do more than just perk you up in the morning. Researchers have discovered the coffee bean actually can help prevent vision loss, blindness, and glaucoma.
According to the Cornell Chronicle, coffee beans contain chlorogenic acid (CLA), which has been identified as a powerful antioxidant that prevents retinal degeneration. Researchers studied mice that were treated with nitric oxide, which promotes stress and free radicals. Those mice who received the nitric oxide suffered from retinal degeneration. Another group were pretreated with CLA, the antioxidant in coffee, before receiving nitric oxide. These mice did not suffer from retinal damage.
Scientists are now examining if CLA is capable of crossing the membrane that covers the retina, the blood-retinal barrier. According to the Cornell Chronicle, "If drinking coffee proves to deliver CLA directly into the retina, doctors may one day recommend an appropriate brew to prevent retinal damage." They added that if CLA has that power, you may one day see the antioxidant from your coffee in eye drops.

For real. Ali G, massive in Staines, is da hot contender for an Emmy (stateside!)
Wednesday 18 October 2000
Booyakasha! Staines is about to make its first foray into the world of serious showbusiness with the news that spoof star Ali G is up for one of America's most prestigious international TV awards.
Booyakasha! Staines is about to make its first foray into the world of serious showbusiness with the news that spoof star Ali G is up for one of America's most prestigious international TV awards.
The comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's hip-hop hero of indeterminate ethnic origin and noisy dress sense, whose trademark patois continues to confuse parents up and down the country, has been nominated for an Emmy.
Da Ali G Show, which also features another of Baron Cohen's comic creations - the Kazakh TV reporter Borat - is up against another Channel 4 programme, Smack The Pony, in the category of popular arts in this year's International Emmy Awards.
Reflecting the increasing "invasion" of American awards, this year's Emmys are dominated by British-made television programmes. Of the 21 shows from around the world nominated for the awards, which will be presented on 20 November, 12 of them are UK productions.
Da Ali G Show has won a string of awards since being shown earlier this year and Cohen's character even ended up in Madonna's latest video for her chart-topping "Music".
Ali G's last awards performance took place at the Brit Awards for pop music, when he presented the award for "Best International 'Punani'". At the awards, he announced: "I watched all those videos while polishing my own trophy."
Smack The Pony, headed by the female comedians Fiona Allen, Doon Mackichan, and Sally Phillips, features a more surreal kind of humour, such as a sketch in which a woman tries to grab a barman's attention by inflating her breasts.
Other homegrown shows up for the awards include the epic historical drama Longitude, shown on Channel 4, which is up against BBC1's Warriors in the drama category.
Channel 4 has five of the British programmes that have been shortlisted for the awards, while the BBC has six. An ITN news report for ITV has also been shortlisted.
A record number of 549 programmes were entered for the 28th International Emmys.
Also nominated are Masterworks (BBC) and Gloriana (BBC) for the performing arts category. Correspondent Inside Chechnya (BBC) and ITN's report on the Mozambique floods are both up for awards in the news category.
Playing the China Card - Nixon And Mao (Channel 4) is competing for the documentary award. Howard Goodall's Big Bangs (Channel 4) and Tell Me The Truth About Love (BBC) are up for the arts documentary award, while The Magician's House (BBC) is up for the children and young people award.

If your main goal is a good night sleep you'll find the beds are exceptional. All tolietres are available as complimenarty. A full service breakfast was a surprise. This is a good value in a very competive area.
Check-in was very quick, rooms were great, facilities were great and staff was very friendly!!! Will definitely stay again!
spacious room, very comfortable beds, great equipment (microwave, A/C, small fridge, extra sink, coffee/tea maker), superb soundproofing, excellent free wi-fi, very friendly and helpful front desk personnel, good maid service
Great to have a complimentary breakfast, but the food was not very tasty.
Great place to stay, modern clean and friendly .... except for the microwave that emitted smoke (and not from the cooking part).
Mntce guy knocking on the door at 8.15 when we had a Do Not Disturb sign on the door.
I had expected an austere hotel with minimal comforts...just a place to spend the night and move on. What a surprise. The hotel and rooms were quite modern, spacious, well kept, and fairly ornate for the price point. Staff was very friendly and even helpful. The location right off the Interstate and near shopping-restaurants was a plus for tired travelers.
The morning breakfast area is much too small. Our family wound up standing and eating in the lobby area. This was awkward and inconvenient.
It was quiet; appeared exceptionally clean; bed was very comfortable; selection of pillow density was a welcome perk; the A/C worked and was quiet; and the complementary breakfast is always desired staff appeared genuinely kind and sincere. We had a very pleasant stay.
Breakfast dining area is a bit small to house the guests competing for food, there also weren't any real eggs, selection of food was adequate however could always be slightly more varied. (in the plus column: several local businesses would cater to our room) Shower did not have enough water pressure and the drain was slow as well as the fan for steam removal.
convenience off I-5 corridor and condition of the facility. found staff in the breakfast room particularly guest-focused and welcoming.
Very friendly staff. A clean and beautiful motel. The bed was very comfortable. Would stay again.

BlackBerry Will Buy Your iPhone For $550
mpicpp points out that BlackBerry is hoping to get iPhone owners to switch to Passport smartphones by promising up to $550 to trade in their phones. "The promotion, which starts Monday, promises as much as $550 to iPhone owners who trade in their handsets in favor of BlackBerry's Passport. The actual trade-in value depends on the iPhone, with the iPhone 4S worth up to $90 and the iPhone 6 worth up to $400. (The iPhone 6 Plus is not eligible.) BlackBerry then sweetens the deal by kicking in an additional $150 as a topper for each iPhone. The deal will run through February 13, but it's good only in North America. Customers must buy the $599 to $699 unlocked Passport phone through either BlackBerry's website or Amazon. The trade-in amount comes in the form of a Visa prepaid card."

Jackie Chan Discs Help Boost Solar Panel Efficiency
wbr1 writes Apparently the pit pattern on a blu-ray disk is great at helping trap photons, rather than reflecting them. Applying this pattern to the glass in a solar panel can boost efficiency by 22%. Researchers at Northwestern tested this system with Jackie Chan discs. From the article: "To increase the efficiency of a solar panel by 22%, the researchers at Northwestern bought a copy of Police Story 3: Supercop on Blu-ray; removed the top plastic layer, exposing the recording medium beneath; cast a mold of the quasi-random pattern; and then used the mold to create a photovoltaic cell with the same pattern....The end result is a solar panel that has a quantum efficiency of around 40% — up about 22% from the non-patterned solar panel."

Fly With the Brooklyn Aerodrome (Video)
A bit of housing insulation material, a battery, a motor and propellor, a radio receiver and transmitter, and servos to control the motor and a pair of ailerons, and you're ready to fly the Brooklyn Aerodrome way. This isn't a tiny radio-controlled paper airplane, but a big bruiser with a 1:1 power to weight ratio (which means it can climb like a bat out of hell) and enough guts to fly in reasonably windy conditions while carrying a camera -- except we'd better not mention cameras, since Brooklyn Aerodrome creations, whether kits or plans, are obviously intended tohelp you build model airplanes, not drones. Timothy ran into project proponent Breck Baldwin at a maker faire near Atlanta, surrounded by a squadron of junior pilots who may someday become astronauts on the Moon - Mars run -- or at least delivery drone controllers for Amazon.

Was Microsoft Forced To Pay $136M In Back Taxes In China?
itwbennett writes China's state-controlled Xinhua News Agency said on Sunday that an unnamed international company was forced to pay 840 million yuan ($136 million) in back taxes, as part of a Chinese government crackdown on tax evasion. The Xinhua article simply referred to it as the "M company," describing it as a top 500 global firm headquartered in the U.S. that in 1995 set up a wholly owned foreign subsidiary in Beijing. The details match Microsoft's own background, and no other company obviously fits the bill. Xinhua added, that despite the company's strengths, its subsidiary in China had not been not making a profit, and posted a loss of over $2 billion during a six-year period.

Clarificiation on the IP Address Security in Dropbox Case
Bennett Haselton writes A judge rules that a county has to turn over the IP addresses that were used to access a county mayor's Dropbox account, stating that there is no valid security-related reason why the IP addresses should be exempt from a public records request. I think the judge's conclusion about IP addresses was right, but the reasoning was flawed; here is a technically more correct argument that would have led to the same answer. Keep Reading to see what Bennett has to say about the case.

WaveNET – the Floating, Flexible Wave Energy Generator
Zothecula writes: Scotland's Albatern is putting a new, modular spin on renewable energy generation. WaveNET is a scalable array of floating "Squid" generator units that harvest wave energy as their buoyant arms rise and fall with the motion of the waves. Each Squid can link up to as many as three others, effectively creating a large, floating grid that's flexible in every direction. The bigger this grid gets, the more efficient it becomes at harvesting energy, and the more different wave movements it can extract energy from. Albatern's 10-year target is to have 1.25 kilometer-long floating energy farms pumping out as much as 100 megawatts by 2024.

Auto Industry Teams Up With Military To Stop Car Hacking
An anonymous reader writes: A team of hackers is collaborating with military and industry groups to develop cyber security defenses for commercially available cars, in response to a growing threat from criminals and terrorists. In the U.K., hackers are now responsible for a third of car thefts in London and there are fears that while technology is progressing, older models will remain vulnerable to attack. Although there have been no reported instances of a car being completely commandeered outside of controlled conditions, during tests hackers come out on top every time – unlocking car boots, setting off windscreen wipers, locking brakes, and cutting the engine.

Hacker Threatened With 44 Felony Charges Escapes With Misdemeanor
An anonymous reader writes: It's no secret that prosecutors usually throw every charge they can at an alleged criminal, but the case of Aaron Swartz brought to light how poorly-written computer abuse laws lend themselves to this practice. Now, another perfect example has resolved itself: a hacker with ties to Anonymous was recently threatened with 44 felony counts of computer fraud and cyberstalking, each with its own 10-year maximum sentence. If the charges stuck, the man was facing multiple lifetimes worth of imprisonment. But, of course, they didn't. Prosecutors struck a deal to get him to plead guilty to a single misdemeanor charge, which carried only a $10,000 fine. The man's attorney, Tor Eklund, said, "The more I looked at this, the more it seemed like an archetypal example of the Department of Justice's prosecutorial abuse when it comes to computer crime. It shows how aggressive they are, and how they seek to destroy your reputation in the press even when the charges are complete, fricking garbage."

The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm: The Complete First Edition, book trailer
When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style. For the very first time, The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm makes available in English all 156 stories from the 1812 and 1815 editions. These narrative gems, newly translated and brought together in one beautiful book, are accompanied by sumptuous new illustrations from award-winning artist Andrea Dezsö.
From "The Frog King" to "The Golden Key," wondrous worlds unfold—heroes and heroines are rewarded, weaker animals triumph over the strong, and simple bumpkins prove themselves not so simple after all. Esteemed fairy tale scholar Jack Zipes offers accessible translations that retain the spare description and engaging storytelling style of the originals. Indeed, this is what makes the tales from the 1812 and 1815 editions unique—they reflect diverse voices, rooted in oral traditions, that are absent from the Grimms' later, more embellished collections of tales. Zipes's introduction gives important historical context, and the book includes the Grimms' prefaces and notes.
A delight to read, The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm presents these peerless stories to a whole new generation of readers.

2012 Discover BCS National Championship Preview
The 2012 college football season is all but over. There are two teams left to play in the biggest game of the entire season.
The Alabama Crimson Tide and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish face off on Monday night in the Discover BCS National Championship game, for all the marbles.
A win will mark the perfect end to a long, hard fought season. A loss will send one team home with nothing to show for its entire season except a decent win-loss record.
Alabama enters the game with a record of 12-1 (7-1 in the SEC). It ranks second in the country in points scored against, and 13th in the country in points scored per game.
Notre Dame enters undefeated, with the number one defense in the country in points scored against, but 75th in points for.
So the number one defense in the country will be facing the number two defense in the country. Is this a coincidence? I think not.
Give me a second while I pull out my cliché book.
"Defense wins championships." At least that's what I've heard, and it certainly seems that way.
So on paper, this game will be low scoring, with very little room for mistakes. I think the team that can find a way to score the most will win. Well obviously.
In all seriousness though, the team that can find a way to capitalize on its defensive stops will win.
What to watch for:
1) With the nation's two best defenses on display, watch for a lot of takeaways and very few offensive opportunities. Expect a low scoring, close game.
2) Notre Dame has been in debates about whether or not it belongs in championship games many times. This year, it had the scenario play out in its favor, and finds itself in the championship game. It will not roll over after all of these years. Look for Notre Dame to come out fired up and extremely motivated to shut up all of its doubters from years past.
Player to watch:
The player to watch for this game is Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron. McCarron needs to avoid turnovers, and have a big game for the Crimson Tide to win.
I don't expect much success from the Alabama running game, so it is going to be up to McCarron to lead the offensive attack against the nation's best defense.
My prediction:
These types of games are always hard to predict, since really it could go either way. I do think these are the best two teams in college football this season and it should be one heck of a game.
Alabama enters with a much stronger offense on paper. Stats are in Alabama's favor, but motivation, drive and desire to win are on the Irish sideline. I think Notre Dame is the real deal this season and can beat the Crimson Tide in a close game.
Notre Dame wins 17-14.

Posted 17 February 2013 - 10:26 AM
Hello, we are ttc at the moment, and I am having some fun, thinking up baby names . We have had 3 girls names picked out, for a long time, and I can't see us budging on them. The names are Annika, Imogen and Miranda.......Dp's favourite is Annika, but I love them all equally, and can't really see any negative associations, apart from Picnic at hanging rock, and Miranda soft drink, which don't really bother me. So, what order would you rate these names?.....last name is Lee, if that helps. Thank you
Posted 17 February 2013 - 10:28 AM
I like them in this order, Imogen, Miranda and Annika. I've never warmed to Annika.
Posted 17 February 2013 - 10:29 AM
I know a newborn Miranda and I love the name, my favourite of the three.
Like Imogen.
Dislike Annika.

Annika, then Miranda. I don't really like Imogen but it's not bad.
Posted 17 February 2013 - 10:42 AM
LOVE Miranda.
Imogen & Annika are nice names but I'm not specially drawn to them.
I think they all go nicely with your surname
Posted 17 February 2013 - 10:42 AM
Annika as a clear standout
Then Miranda
Then Imogen
Posted 17 February 2013 - 10:54 AM
Love Miranda. The Hanging Rock reference is a nice one, in my opinion. She was such an ethereal beauty.
I also love Imogen. It has the same romantic feel.
Personally I'm not keen on Annika. In my mind it conjures up a tennis player, and I'm a bit anti-sport
Posted 17 February 2013 - 11:02 AM
Posted 17 February 2013 - 11:06 AM
None of them excite me but they are all nice enough.
I like them in this order: Miranda, Imogen, Annika
Posted 17 February 2013 - 11:17 AM
1. Miranda
2. Imogen
3. Annika
I can't fault Miranda. Imogen is a great name but a teensy bit too popular for me. Annika's appropriation into Anglophonia has done it a disservice in my view.
Posted 17 February 2013 - 11:59 AM
Imogen, Annika and then Miranda.... I think Miranda is quite dated.

I think they're all gorgeous. Imogen would be my favourite followed very closely by Annika with Miranda last.
I think I like the sound of Annika Lee best though.
Posted 17 February 2013 - 09:56 PM
I used to look after an Annika and she was a gorgeous little girl so I really like it
My equally gorgeous cousin is Imogen so that's another name I love
Miranda doesn't do anything for me.
Posted 17 February 2013 - 10:11 PM
I love the name Imogen.
I'm not a fan of Miranda. It seems a bit dated to the eighties to me too, or maybe it's just a coincidence that I've met a few born in the eighties. And I really dislike the supermodel with that name. (There you go. I just looked on 111 years of baby names NSW and it isn't dated to the eighties in particular. It's been steadily climbing in popularity since the sixties). Maybe I was mixing it up with Melinda?
I used to have the name Annika on my list, but I figured out that many people in Australia seem to pronounce it slightly differently from one another. I guess that's not necessarily more than a slight annoyance, though.

Imogen - not a fan, and don't think it sounds as good with your surname as the other two.

Another annoying cloud pitch
I just sat through another cloud consulting services pitch from a major IT vendor. Some of it was under NDA so can't talk about specifics, but that's not really relevant to the point that has prompted me to write this. I guess my big problem is that I have spent the last ten years as an analyst looking at different disciplines …
Clouds Rain you know
The missing part of the article is that clouds come and go and eventually turn into rain - which nobody likes.
This is why it is best to avoid these 'clouds'. I have struggled like the author to work out what these Clouds are - that is other than outsourced hardware and service management with 'root' access available to me ... Otherwise known as hosting.
Its just a new catchphrase for an old idea (albeit an evolving and more complicated idea).
One word.
Cloud is new, and a game changer
Look up the Eli Lilly case study .. they were able to spin up a 64-machine cluster on Amazon to do some bioinformatics sequencing .. it took 20 minutes to do the run and cost them a total of $6.40.
To do this the traditional way would have taken weeks and tens of thousands of $.
This kind of thing was not possible before the "Cloud" no matter what Larry Ellison and all the other "this cloud stuff is nothing new" people say.
"To do this the traditional way would have taken weeks and tens of thousands of $."
Just out of curiosity, how many weeks, and how many thousands of dollars, did it take to get everything together to run the batch on amazon hosted servers?
Some of us are old enough to remember submitting jobs to the/a processor and waiting a measurable period of time for a result. Most of us don't want to return to those conditions.
Then I guess the cost of prescription meds is going to plummet????? NAH, didn't think so.
re: Cloud is new and a game changer
Not quite true. IBM has at least one computer & OS that will run on all 60 some odd processors.
However the cloud tends not tend to help processes that have a need for say 64 (or almost any number for that matter) as in order to take advantage of the processors they can only run in parallel
if the output of one process needs to be input to the second etc etc. If a program can start say 64 processes that is fine and it will help but todays computers cannot do parallel work unless the work is really independent from the result from any other processes.
Example you program the computer to multiply 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 etc etc it can only do that on 1 computer at a time as the results are needed before the second calculation can start, etc etc.
rebranded dog food
What you mentioned is nothing new and this was the point of the article I believe.
The martketeers etc are simply rebranding existing technoligies and methodologies as something new and exciting - of which it is usually neither
Companies have been renting external computing capacity for decades. I recall doing this in the 1980s at ICL.
Most recently I beleive it was referred to as outsourcing.
There is new; mixed up with the old...
Dr Funk; I think that there are critical differences between the outsourcing that has occurred for decades and the spontaneous availability of computing resources on the 'real' cloud.
The bio company that jimt222 referred to no doubt decided on their solution, put in some credit card details and had access to the systems to power their work within minutes. Critically, when they finished the processing the charging stopped.
With ICL; did the outsourcing of your compute requirements start with the courting by sales types, the to and fro of contracts, minimum spend (though with an element of pay for the level of resources consumed) and importantly minimum contract length - at least a year if not a lot longer? How long did it take between you deciding to outsource and having the systems available? More than an hour, more than six months?
The Cloud is the just the latest buzzword, liberally applied to any compute farm infrastructure; hence so much of the traditional outsourcing market being resold as if were something new.
There is something new here; a new level of flexibility.
@Dr. Funk.
"Companies have been renting external computing capacity for decades. I recall doing this in the 1980s at ICL."
In the '70s, I used Tymeshare ... IBM has been doing the same thing since the '50s.
The more things change, the faster marketing separates fools from their money by selling ancient concepts as "new" ideas ...
clouds are new?
Clouds indeed have been around for quite some time (at least in the IBM world). As long as the system is set up correctly any job can run almost anywhere (and successfully) from the same data center to 50+ kilometers away. Granted not too much more than that but it is being done today in the US and Europe at least (not sure about other locations) but there is no real technical reason why it couldn't be anywhere.
Online systems can indeed fall back almost instantaneously from any system to another system. There isn't any magic in it it just takes planning.

Unverified video uploaded to social networking sites purports to show fighting near Syria's Yarmouk refugee camp, where Palestinians for and against the regime have been fighting each other.
The largest camp in Damascus, it is where most of Syria's 500,000 Palestinian refugees live. The camp has also been bombed by the Syrian air force, killing and wounding scores of Palestinians and adding to refugee numbers.
Fighting continues to be fierce around the international airport, a few kilometres south of the capital, Damascus, with rebels desperately trying to strike what they see as definitive blow.
Although he is not part of President Bashar al-Assad's inner circle, vice president Farouq al-Sharaa has told a pro-regime newspaper that neither the president nor the rebels could win the war outright – the first remark of its kind from a prominent member of the regime.

TLC - 10pm
Who's in it?
A woman with breasts big enough to make her an online celebrity, and the man with the world's largest penis are among the larger than life stars of this saucy series.
In a nutshell
Here's something you didn't know: having abnormally enlarged breasts is known as gigantosmastia. One lady who knows all about it is Annie, known to her legions of fans as Norma Stitz (read the name again and you'll appreciate the profound meaning). Her bosom is so… well, bosomy that she has trouble finding bras with enough room, and she'll be letting us into her unusual world tonight.
Of course, no show called Supersized Sex could possibly avoid including feeders, and we'll meet a pair of them in the shape of Donna and Phillipe who have an eternal hankering to fatten each other up. Elsewhere, there's Matt – a chap with an obsession for giant women. This is an actual fetish, and Matt puts it down to watching Godzilla movies as a kid and getting seriously aroused at the sight of panicking humans being crushed. We say again: this is an actual fetish. Suddenly all those guys really into feet seem pretty mundane by comparison.
What's the verdict?
This is a programme which proves that, when it comes to all things sexual, you can never have too much of a good thing. Or can you? Expect psychologists to point out the dangerous flipside to these strange fixations, not that it'll be enough to put these guys and gals off. Big really is beautiful.

By God's grace, not all believers face harsh legal or physical persecution for their faith. Many of us don't live under the threat of being beaten or hauled into court for preaching the gospel. But there are many places around the globe right now where that is the daily reality for believers. And as the world grows more hostile to the truth of Scripture, we can expect those kinds of persecution to become more commonplace.
Is persecution good for the church? We've seen the blessings and fruit of persecution for individual believers—that it proves the quality of our faith and directs our focus to eternity. But what about the church?
