Submission + - CNN to Release 2008 Debate under Creative Commons

remove office writes: "After calls from several prominent bloggers and a couple of presidential candidates themselves, CNN has agreed to release the footage from its upcoming June presidential debates uncopyrighted. Senator Barack Obama was the first candidate to call for all presidential debates to be released under Creative Commons, with fellow Demcoratic hopeful John Edwards following shortly afterwards. CNN will be the first to do so with their June 3rd and 5th Democratic and Republican debates. The NBC-Microsoft co-venture MSNBC hosted the first presidential debates recently but refused to release it under Creative Commons, opting instead to post only commercial-ridden clips online in Windows Media format."

Submission + - Cold fusion by US Navy breakthrough

Tjeerd writes: "Gordon's plastic wafer is the product of the latest in a long line of "cold fusion" experiments conducted at the US navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center in San Diego, California. What makes this one stand out is that it has been published in the respected peer-reviewed journal Naturwissenschaften, which counts Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg and Konrad Lorenz among its eminent past authors (DOI: 10.1007/s00114-007-0221-7). More can be read at New Scientist."

Submission + - Ahead of the Crowd- Fujitsu's LED Backlit Notebook

An anonymous reader writes: While everyone is waiting for the LED backlit Macbooks to arrive, a few companies already have products with this feature available. One of the most interesting of these notebooks is Fujistu's new ultraportable, the Lifebook P7230. This sub-3 pound notebook has a 10.6" LCD and has a battery life of up to 6 hours thanks to that LED and some other powersaving features (Fujitsu says it goes up to 9.75 hours when an extra battery is swapped with the DVD drive). Companies like Sony and Asus have also started to offer LED backlit models and soon it will be standard, but in the meantime the P7230 is packed with features and is cheaper than much of the competition.
