Parrot Introduces New Apps To Asteroid Market

Parrot Introduces New Apps To Asteroid MarketParrot has taken steps to announce a new bunch of apps to their Asteroid Market, which has been touted to be the most advanced platform of applications which were specially dedicated to vehicles. Some of these apps include Facebook for Asteroid and Asteroid Mail among others, which might eventually see a greater number of users jump ship to board the Asteroid vessel. Right now, the Parrot Asteroid range has been touted to be the most advanced consumer range of connected solutions running on Android for the car, and this announcement would certainly place it on par to be the first platform to download applications adapted to in-vehicle use.

The Asteroid Smart, Tablet and Mini were launched in March earlier this year, and one was able to access a range of apps – both free and paid which have been dedicated to the car, and with Facebook for Asteroid, it is the first app from Facebook designed for the automotive environment. You can now stay in touch safely while behind the wheel, including seeing what your mates are up to, sharing updates, photos and videos, receive notifications when friends like and comment on their posts, text, chat and have group conversations, play games, use their favorite Facebook apps and check in wherever they go. Other apps include Asteroid Mail, VLC, Recargo, Glympse, and Roadhub.

According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, calories from sugars and solid fats should only make up 5 to 15 percent of our total calories each day.

Extreme closeup! IBM makes ‘world’s smallest movie’ using atoms (video)

DNP IBM

After taking a few shadowy pictures for the scientific world’s paparazzi, the atom is now ready for its closeup. Today, a team of IBM scientists are bypassing the big screen to unveil what they call the “world’s smallest movie.” This atomic motion picture was created with the help of a two-ton IBM-made microscope that operates at a bone-chilling negative 268 degrees Celsius. This hardware was used to control a probe that pulled and arranged atoms for stop-motion shots used in the 242-frame film. A playful spin on microcomputing, the short was made by the same team of IBM eggheads who recently developed the world’s smallest magnetic bit. Now that the atom’s gone Hollywood, what’s next, a molecular entourage?

Rides Injure More Than 4,400 Children Per Year

They’re built for fun, but rides in amusement parks, fairs, restaurants and malls injure more than 4,400 children in the U.S. each year, according to a sweeping new study.

From 1990 to 2010, nearly 93,000 kids ages 17 and under went to hospital emergency rooms for ride-related injuries — most during the spring and summer months, when amusement parks are busiest.

The study, published Wednesday in the journal Clinical Pediatrics, relied on 20 years of data collected by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Information came from emergency department records at 100 hospitals across the country and included details about diagnoses and brief descriptions of how injuries occurred.
