Holy frak. Holy frak. HOLYROLLERBLADINGFRAK! Movie producers paid two Sukhoi Su-35 pilots to fly without a canopy at Mach 2.0, and have one of them eject in what probably is one of the most dangerous stunts ever filmed.

While on this speed I even managed to pull out my fingers in glove for an inch or two outside – it became heated very fast because of immense friction force plane undergoes with the air.

That’s what the pilot who remained in the cabin said he did after his crazy comrade ejected, landing safely on the ground. I don’t know what this movie is, but I definitely want to see it.

To add even more awesome details, the actual airplane is the SU-35UB prototype, identified by its tail number 801. This is the most advanced Sukhoi fighter ever built. Crazy Ivans indeed.

Where’s the first place you’d look for maps of Mars?

If you didn’t say Google Earth, why not? After all, a 3D mapping tool of Mars was added to Google Earth for the 5.0 release. But Google today announced an update to the program that includes historical maps and images, a stream of the latest images from the Red Planet and not one, but TWO guided tours of the fourth rock from the Sun.

In the Google Earth toolbar, you can select “Mars,” and you then swoop in on the planet, with a 3-D view that includes layers and imagery. You can do all sorts of nifty things, just as if you were looking at, say, Earth – zooming in and out, switching camera views or giving the entire planet a nice rotation by clicking on your mouse.

The new “historical maps” layer offers antique maps by Giovanni Schiaparelli and Percival Lowell, among others. The “Live from Mars” layer is a continuous stream of imagery from NASA’s camera on the Mars Odyssey spacecraft and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The two guided tours are narrated by Ira Flatow of Public Radio’s Science Friday and Bill Nye (the Science Guy).

There are lots of updates to the original imagery, too, and the search function’s been improved, according to Google.

There’s a browsable layer of our favorite satellite images, visible and infrared global views, geo-located excerpts from A Traveler’s Guide to Mars, and others. We’ve also included 3D models of NASA rovers and, if you follow their tracks, the 360-degree panoramic photos they captured from the surface. Just like browsing on Earth, you can use the search box to locate famous sites like the face on Mars.

Representatives Google have declared, that are going to realize in 2008 the new advertising company on service YouTube belonging them. All rollers will be accompanied by 30 second advertising.

Unfortunately, whether while there is no information on that it will be possible to pass commercial messages or whether rollers of users which have timing less than 30 with will “be supplemented”.

On the Internet next virus epidemic grows. ” Storm worms ” recently have considerably raised the activity and by present time have infected already nearby 2 million computers. The zombi-network which has resulted their activity, has an opportunity to break work practically any the Internet-resource.
” Storm worms “, notifications dispatching by e-mail about ostensibly come to the owner of a mail box cards which contain references to nocuous sites, have grasped 1,7 million computers. Experts approve, that given epidemic is many times more powerful than largest of all events for last two years. The computers already infected by worms, will suffice to break work practically any site on the Internet. Since July, 16th, 2007 when experts for the first time have noted growth of ” storm letters “, on August, 1st, in research company Postini have fixed 415 million copies of various letters, a deceit of forcing users to load on a computer a nocuous code. Before the specified July date the volume of such letters made no more than 1 million a day. On July, 19th their number has grown up to 48,6 million, on July, 24th – 46,2 million From them of 99 % was necessary on “storm” worms.
SecureWorks, tracing quantity computers – the so-called boats used for carrying out of DDoS-attacks, results the statistics testifying to the connected tendency: from January till May inclusive the company had been fixed 2815 boats, and by the end of July their quantity has increased up to 1,7 million
The term ” a storm worm ” (Storm worm) has appeared after the past in the Europe of hurricane “Cyril” when dispatches of letters with executed files like video.exe and the themes, concerning act of nature have begun, for example: ” 230 were lost from a storm in the Europe “. Present ” storm worms ” have no attitude to acts of nature and, we shall repeat, suggest to look a card ostensibly sent by the friend or the relative.
Let’s remind, that last years the most appreciable epidemics of steel MyDoom and Saccer, in due time the infected millions computers. Both epidemics have passed in 2004 Infected MyDoom computers have been used by malefactors for carrying out of DDoS-attacks and for the organization of other virus epidemics. Worm Saccer has appeared so scale, that its “work” even has led to failures in work of separate segments of the Internet.

The Internet dependence! Really it is incurable?
In XX a century the Internet-dependence it is necessary to be afraid more, than AIDS, physicians speak. This illness equate to a narcotism. According to: in the world the Internet-dependent twice is more, than addicts.
In the Europe, after Asia and America have already started to open corresponding clinics. In Russia and Ukraine such establishments are not present, and predilection for the World wide web frequently do not perceive as a serious problem. On progressive and for a long time the computerized West already for a long time have realized – a problem the Internet – dependences, exists. This illness equate to a narcotism and recommend to treat.

Horrifying statistics: 10-15 % of all users are estimated by psychologists as the Internet-dependent.
The virtual reality sucks in.
Psychologists are convinced, that the Internet-dependent there are people at all because of features of the World wide web, and because of presence of problems in dialogue. During the Internet-dialogue personal contact between interlocutors is excluded. It helps the people subject of social-phobia, to overcome sensation of own inferiority. The Internet-dependence serves as criterion at all that fact, that the child spends behind a computer as parents consider, it is too much time. If the Internet is used to destination – for the educational purposes and additional dialogue, in it there is nothing dangerous. The alarm needs to be beaten, if the computer becomes a unique source of dialogue with people and contempoparies and other “channels” thus are not used.
