Microsoft and Automotive Engines

Technology:
Please don't let them do that. Don't let microsoft put an OS in the cars for controlling engines. We have to protest againt it. Do you want to hear a sound which says: "malfunction error, please reset the system", or "system haulted" when you need to stop the car immediately or steer or do some kind of these works. I hope that they do a good job in making the system as good as possible. read the full story from C|net Tech News.

Beautiful Snow

No Subject:
It started to snow outside. Beautiful snowflakes are coming down from heaven. White, innocent. Joining the soil at last. From heaven to dust, again. Waiting for their turn to go up and return to their home, to their type and to their origin, again. The cycle must go on.

Dog on a Chip

Technology:
A cool name, "Dog on a Chip (DoC)". I think our police force in Iran must buy lots of these chips which can sniff like a real dog for arresting drug smugglers who enter from east borders.
In Arlanda airport in Stockholm, Sweden, there is a giant dog (the police officer is giant, too!) whose responsibility is just sniffing the suitcases and people for drugs. Some passengers told that they even bark for some drugs like Acetaminophen Codeine! I had brought about three packages (30 tablets) in my suitcase and I told to myself: ok, now they are going to turn around my suitcases, but when I passed that sniffing dog, nothing happened! I was surprised. Later I asked some friends about that and they told that because those tablets we have in Iran have just a percentage of the drug they are supposed to have, so the dog doesn't feel them! This is the reason that these Acetaminophens do not work!
Anyway, read about these new sensors from CNN/Technology.
