“In February 2003, astronomers involved in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) pointed the massive radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, at around 200 sections of the sky. The same telescope had previously detected unexplained radio signals at least twice from each of these regions, and the astronomers were trying to reconfirm the findings. The team has now finished analysing the data, and all the signals seem to have disappeared. Except one, which has got…

SETI@home spots unusual signal... or not

SETI@home spots unusual signal... or not 09/03/2004 04:34 AM
David Pescovitz: SETI@home has turned up an unexplained radio signal from 1000 light years away that's, well, unexplained. From New Scientist:

“It’s the most interesting signal from SETI@home,” says Dan Werthimer, a radio astronomer at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) and the chief scientist for SETI@home. “We’re not jumping up and down, but we are continuing to observe it.”

Named SHGb02+14a, the signal has a frequency of about 1420 megahertz. This happens to be one of the main frequencies at which hydrogen, the most common element in the universe, readily absorbs and emits energy.

Some astronomers have argued that extraterrestrials trying to advertise their presence would be likely to transmit at this frequency, and SETI researchers conventionally scan this part of the radio spectrum.

Update: The BBC followed up with a report quoting researchers who say that the news above was blown out of proportion and there is no signal. Nothing to hear here. Move along. (cue X-Files theme) Link

Space signal studied for alien contact

Space signal studied for alien contact
thanks to SETI@Home 09/02/2004 12:11 PM
England (Reuters) -- An unexplained radio signal from deep space could -- just might be -- contact from an alien civilization, New Scientist magazine reported on Thursday. The signal, coming from a point between the Pisces and Aries constellations, has been picked up three times by a telescope in Puerto Rico.

There are other explanations besides extraterrestrial contact that may explain the signal. New Scientist said the signal could be generated by a previously unknown astronomical phenomenon or even be a by-product from the telescope itself. But the mystery beam has excited astronomers across the world.

"If they can see it four, five or six times it really begins to get exciting," Jocelyn Bell Burnell of the University of Bath in western England told the magazine.

SETI@Vatican

SETI@Vatican 05/13/2004 05:10 AM
The Vatican's official astronomer, Brother Guy Consolmagno, has given an interview in which he discusses the Vatican's thinking on what to do if alien intelligence is discovered.

We find an intelligent civilization and there's no way in creation we can communicate with them because they're so alien to us. We can't talk to dolphins now. In which case, we'll never know.

Second scenario: We find the intelligent civilization. We can communicate. We discover that they have the two essentials that theologians talk about for the human soul, intelligence and free will. They know who they are, they're self-aware, and they're able to do something about it. I think dogs are self-aware, but they don't have a whole lot of free will. Maybe computers are the same sort of thing. Human beings have to have both...

A third scenario: We find a dozen civilizations out there, and a bunch of Jehovah's witnesses go up and convert them all. At the end of the day, every civilization is Christian, except the human race is still not too sure about this. I mean, anything's possible.

SETI still searching for ET

SETI still searching for ET 09/02/2004 01:58 PM
News earlier this week that The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence group, SETI, had found a signal from ET appears to have been over blown. Described by SETI's chief Scientist, Dr Wertheimer, as "hype and noise", he went on to say that it was "nothing that is unusual. It's all out of proportion."

SETI takes data from it's Arecibo Aerial Telescope and distributes it to its thousands of users world wide for analysis. The chunk that set off last Thursday's media frenzy is called SHGb02+14a and was found by computers running the SETI program in Germany and the US. In its 6 years of operation, SETI have found 150 chunks that are potentially signals from ET; these 150 are found by statistical techniques performed on the data, which ascertains the likelihood of it being legitimate. Of the 150, so far 0 have been real.

SETI commented that "With Seti@home having analysed some 50 trillion frequency bands, it is not surprising that a signal like this occurs purely due to chance." Looks like we'll see a 40th edition of ET before ET really does phone home.

The Apple's Dock is not Windows' taskbar.
We are coming up to version 4 of Mac OS X soon, and yet, very little applications take advantage of the dock.
Application icons should reflect useful information in the dock. For example, an FTP application should show the status of the connection. Speaking as someone who always forget to close FTP connections, I will appreciate having easily informed on whether the connection is still opened, and whether there are still uploading or downloading activities going on.
Document icons should help the users to differentiate between different documents -- don't just stick a generic icon in there, and expect the user to scrub through the list to find the document he want.

Observing the SETI observatory

Observing the SETI observatory 07/30/2004 12:12 PM
The SETI Institute predicts that we'll detect an extraterrestrial transmission within tw enty years. If that turns out to be true, it'll probably be the folks at UC Berkeley's Hat Creek radio observatory who will have heard the call. Hat Creek is home to the SETI Institute's Allen Telescope Array (ATA), funded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.

I just returned from a trip with two friends to Hat Creek, about five hours northeast of San Francisco. Leading Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) researcher Jack Welch and his former student, astronomer Jim Gibson, were kind enough to give us a tour of the facility.

Gideon Softworks Inc. has released Dock-It 2.0, an upgrade to its multifunctional launcher, extra Dock creator and Finder enhancer. The new version features support for Mac OS X docklings as well as changing the label size, fixes bugs and adds performance enhancements. It also comes with Clock, Clipping, Shelf Space and Preferences applets that add a digital clock to all your docks, create a spot to store URL clippings and cut text and images, store dragged items so that they can be dropped to another spot in the Finder and offer quick access to all your System Preferences. Dock-It 2.0 can be downloaded as a 7-day demo and costs US$10 for the full version, with upgrades from version 1.x available for $6. It runs in Mac OS X v10.2.x or higher; the developer told MacCentral that it may run in v10.1 but hasn't been tested in that OS.

Onkyo RI Dock For iPod

Onkyo RI Dock For iPod 04/12/2005 11:31 AM

Onkyo announced the "RI Dock" for linking iPod to Onkyo components. You'll need Onkyo stereo equipment with an "RI" port to support this, but when you connect the RI cable and analog audio cables to the receiver, you can control the iPod with your receiver's remote. Onkyo was specific with how far this support goes, too: your normal range of volume and playback controls are supported, as well as some advanced features such as timer play, sleep timer, playlists, and the iPod's alarm function (which will automatically turn on the Onkyo equipment and start blasting Tina Turner at 6 AM). Hell, it even has an S-Video port for displaying slideshows from the iPod photo on your TV. At 8,400 yen, it seems like a decent investment for 30 people in the world who own both iPod and Onkyo receiver.
