The humanity is in great danger as the climate change (global warming) is happening now on our planet earth. We have to do something before it is too late.
In order to learn how the Earth behave and to predict how our earth responding to the global warming, we need to use computer to simulate the whether (including air temperature, sea temperature) of the entire planet! So, this is the huge project, even the biggest supercomputer isn't good enough.
So we need thousands of computer to do the job. Share your computing power when you are not using it, help to change the world. Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/
If you love your planet, do something!

An Inconvenient Truth

I watch this movie, "An inconvenient truth" today. It is a documentary movie about global warming. When you heard the word "global warming", you might think i want to talk about the same old things when we used to do our essay title
'pollution' during school day. But, how much do you know about global warming and how serious those consequences are?
Have your ever thought about the worst things that would happen to us which would wide out humanity or at least kill a great numbers of people. you might say meteor, nuclear war, plague (like bird flu), biological weapon and terrorist attack. Yes, all this examples are indeed real but we are yet to really feel it coming. But this treat is now right under your feet.
An example from the movie, if you put a frog into the pot with boiling water, it will immediately jump out from the pot. But if you put a frog into a pot with cold water and slowly heat up the water. The frog wont really feel the heat coming and it will die. Global warming is similar to this scenario, if we still act ignorantly, we will end up like the frog.
When will we feel the conseqences of global warming? In 10 years, 20 years or 50 years? No, it is already happening now. We saw bigger storms, more floods, hotter summer, wider desert, stronger hurricane and more animals extint. Scientis had collect data like temperature, Carbon dioxide concentration and thicknest of ice at Artic Ocean, They all have break through the scale barrier that earth have mantain for a few hundred thousands years ago and we only need a few decades to rewrite all this records. The top 10 highest yearly temperature recorded in thousand year, all of them came from the last 14 years and the highest ever recorded is in 2005.
Want to know why 100 million people around the world have to move else where? (we are probably among them) Want to know why more and more polar bears drowning? Why Hurricanes happen in places never have hurricane before? Why some scientist and politician deny the potential of this treath?
The stage of the problem is alarming, We start to see all those bad things happening. If we dont act now, we are too late. We dont want to see our children blaming us for ruining their planet.

Foreigners And Fights, PS3 JPN Launch's Dark Side - Kotaku

Foreigners And Fights, PS3 JPN Launch's Dark Side - Kotaku

PS3 on the horizon

I suppose everybody know what is in the picture. As the name PS3, you should know it is the 3rd generation of Playstation. This baby will be launch at the mid of this November. Some hardcore gamers are already start lining up in front of the store a few days ago. Yes, they are waiting to buy the new PS3 for more than a week. I'm not suggest that they are crazy nor I inspire their spirit. But I believe the world of gaming has taken a great depth into the society, thanks to the exponential development on IT and also globalization. Few years ago, game console and PC play a different role. Game console is merely on playing games but for PC, games only as a suppliment. Because PC is doing more than games, hardware requirement like Proccessor speed, ram and capacity is always advance than the game console, until this year. PS3 with 3.2Ghz proccessor, 512 total ram, 60GB hardisk, network, USB and HDTV support already bypass some new dekstop spec. Where people use PC to watch movie and pictures, browsing, sharing data and play games, now you can do all this with game console. I'm sure game console have aggressive took a great chunk of the market share that PC used to have. Not only that, game console can play movie on latest disc format like HD-DVD and Blu-ray will surely kick some conventional movie player aside and claim itself as the 'king of the living room'. X360, another game console launch earlier than PS3, already impress gamers with advance visual effect. Wii, Nintendo new release, taking a different path compare to PS3 and X360, aiming at casual gamers and families, claims to took over and beyound what he have lost for his last 2 consoles, N64 and GameCube. Beside, another influence and also the most consevertive is the market share in man's heart. For decades, housewives have to fight with football to gain attention from her man. Now the new challenger, the game console with even more powerful proccesor, we will have more desperate housewives in the future.
