The move comes 12 days after the Asian nation successfully completed its first ever "kiss" in space, when the Shenzhou VIII spacecraft joined onto the Tiangong-1 experimental module 343 kilometres (213 miles) above the Earth."

Submission + - Google Literal Search, Reborn (blogspot.com) 1

Submitted by icebraining
icebraining writes: As Slashdotters like to point out, the new helping features of Google Search, such as auto-correcting spelling mistakes and adding synonyms and similar versions of the terms, can cause problems with certain search queries. To solve that, Google has announced on their blog that a new option called Verbatim, available under the menu "more search options", is being added to their Search product and will be available in the next few days. In addiction to the new option, Search will feature better tuned algorithms that will hopefully reduce the need to use it.

Submission + - Apple offering replacement program for iPod nano 1 (apple.com)

Submitted by aedil
aedil writes: Much like it did earlier in Japan, Apple, Inc. is now offering a replacement program for select iPod nano 1st gen units due to the battery manufacturing problem that poses a potential hazard if the battery overheats. This problem is apparently more likely to occur as the battery ages.

Of course, they do want the original unit to be sent in first, with a replacement to be shipped within 6 weeks, and there is no mention whether the replacement is a refurbished 1st gen nano, or some other gen nano.
