Peru inventor 'whitewashes' peaks to slow glacier melt

A very interesting project is taking place 4,756 metres above sea level in the Peruvian Andes. Inventor Eduardo Gold is planning to splash whitewash onto loose rocks and paint a total area of 70 hectares (173 acres) on three peaks in the Andean region of Ayacucho in southern Peru. "A white surface reflects the sun's rays back through the atmosphere and into space, in doing so it cools the area around it too," explains Gold.
"In effect in creates a micro-climate, so we can say that the cold generates more cold, just as heat generates more heat."
In that way he wants to recuperate the country's melting glaciers.

SlideIT keyboard for android

SlideIT keyboard from Dasur is really excellent. Such a easy way to express yourself, not writing but sliding your words, search terms, url's etc.....SlideIT is available for Windows Mobile, Symbian, Android and iPhone.

Give it a try. A wonderful experience saving you a lot of time. I will never go back to any ordinary keyboard again on my android phone.

No access to android paid app market? What's the problem?

It's really not a problem when you have android file repositories like 4share or blackdroid allowing you to download apk files directly to your phone or PC, both free and paid apps. The only disadvantage is that you don't have the possibility to update the paid apps the way you update the free apps from the android market. Well it's not a big problem, you just visit those repositories regularly and install a newer version if it's available.

IT and development at the IME faculty, NTNU, Norway

On their "development" page you could for instance find 3 different bussoracles developed for Android and iPhone, telling you when the bus is departing and arriving in the Trondheim region, you could also find a timetable generator for NTNU students.

Sharing your android apps with friends?

Have you ever wanted to share your android apps (.apk files) with friends? If you use the app called OnTheFly Backup you could safely backup your apps to the SD card or backup to your PC.Share all those lovely apps is just a question of seconds, the easiest way is just to make a zipped archive and share as a single file, you have several zip readers for android able to read zipped archives.

Good luck.....
