Social network where you search for and share music: http://blip.fm/eemotion.
Search for any song, listen, add it to your playlist, give points for it or re-blip it yourself. If you like the music someone plays you can start following them like in Twitter, they become your DJ as you become other people's. You can mention people in a blip too (I'm: @eemotion) or share the individual song on FB or anywhere with a direct link to it like this to a great video to Marvin Gaye's What's Going On!

See you there maybe, play me a song or come listen to my blips and playlists!

Asteroid switched Mars's magnetic field on and off - 19 July 2008 - New Scientist

Asteroid switched Mars's magnetic field on and off - 19 July 2008 - New Scientist

CAN you flip a planet's magnetic field on and off like a light switch? An asteroid could have done just that to Mars 4 billion years ago.

Mars once had a magnetic field, which may have been driven by a dynamo formed from the convection of material in the core, much like the Earth's is today. Yet crater records suggest the Martian dynamo died quickly, over a few tens of thousands of years, something researchers struggle to explain.

Now Jafar Arkani-Hamed of the University of Toronto, Canada, and colleagues say the gravitational tug of an orbiting asteroid may have powered a dynamo by pulling on the fluid in Mars's core. The team's lab and model simulations showed that an asteroid orbiting 75,000 kilometres above Mars could have maintained a dynamo for 400 million years, before the rock crashed into the planet and switched it off (Journal of Geophysical Research, DOI: 10.1029/2007JE002982).

Some researchers are sceptical. While an asteroid might have had enough energy to churn fluid in the planet's core, much more energy is needed to set up the dynamo to begin with, according to David Stevenson of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. "It would be like looking at a boulder on top of a hill without asking what it took to get it there," he says.

Researchers Use Wikipedia To Make Computers Smarter from PhysOrg.com

Using Wikipedia, Technion researchers have developed a way to give computers knowledge of the world to help them “think smarter,” making common sense and broad-based connections between topics just as the human mind does. The new method will help computers filter e-mail spam, perform Web searches and even conduct intelligence gathering at more sophisticated levels than current programs.

Rocky Finding -- Evidence of Extrasolar Asteroid Belt from PhysOrg.com

Providing the best evidence yet for an asteroid belt beyond the solar system, new measurements pinpoint the location of such a disk of warm dust surrounding the star Zeta Leporis. As the January 6, 2007 issue of Science News reports, this dust lies about the same distance from Zeta Leporis as the solar system’s asteroid belt lies from the sun. Margaret M. Moerchen and Charles M. Telesco and their colleagues at the University of Florida in Gainesville report these findings in an upcoming Astrophysical Journal Letters.
