Gigabyte engineers claim that hardware manufacturer Asustek is willingly deceiving its customers with low-quality motherboards built with “technologies” that don’t bring any improvements.

By injecting DNA sequenced from an extinct species into a mouse embryo, scientist have delivered a proof-of-concept, which could one day lead to full cloning of long-extinct species
Tokyo Expose 0.1 / May 19 2008
Little application to somewhat simulate the Mac/Linux(KDE?) effect that shows live thumbnails of all open applications on screen. The thumbnails update in real time and light up when you hover the mouse over.
Simply run it; when you hover your mouse over the TOP-RIGHT corner of the screen, the expose will activate, and:
left-clicking a window = bring it up
right-clicking a window = close that program
left-clicking the desktop window = minimize all programs
ESC = cancel
To close it, click “exit” from the tray-icon menu
Requirements: Windows Vista 32/64 bits
Download: http://techsuki.net/apps/TokyoExpose/TokyoExpose.exe
This is a very simple and lite application to index and search for files in your hard disks. Tired of the lame and cpu-intensive file search stuff in windows I decided to make my own. It needs to be manually re-indexed when you add new files but it suits my needs.
Download: http://techsuki.net/apps/TokyoFileSearch/TokyoFileSearch.exe (322 KB)
Runs in Windows 95 to Vista, either 32 or 64 bits. Does NOT require .net
Simply download and run it somewhere. It will create a file called “index.db” when you run the indexer, in the same exe folder, don’t delete it.
Consider it a beta since there is a lot to be done, it’s very raw now.. but does its job. Check back later for updates.

Scientists have been able to take control of flies’ brains to make females behave just like males.
Researchers genetically modified the insects so that a group of brain cells that control sexual behaviour could be “switched on” by a pulse of light.

Graphene, a material made from flat sheets of carbon in a honeycomb arrangement is a leading contender. A team at the University of Manchester, UK, have now used it to make some of the smallest transistors ever. Devices only 1 nm across that contain just a few carbons rings.
Previous graphene transistors were significantly bigger – ribbons 10 nm across and many times longer.

Rohm Co Ltd and the Research Center for Photovoltaics of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) have announced that they have succeeded in prototyping a CIGS (Cu-In-Ga-Se) image sensor that has approximately 100 times the sensitivity of CCD, CMOS and other Si-based image sensors.
They have confirmed that their sensor can recognize images in environments as dark as 0.001lx, which is difficult for existing Si image sensors, they said. As the new image sensor can also recognize images with light in the near infrared zone, expected applications include automotive cameras, monitoring cameras, iris and vein authentication, which must support image sensing under lighting conditions ranging from bright to dark.
