Jesus Tomb? The church don't Believe - ¿ Tumba de Jesús ?, La Iglesia no lo cree

Dicen que es la tumba de Jesús pero la iglesia se ha mostrado incrédula ante tal señalamiento. Aqui les va la noticia:

La noticia del hallazgo de la supuesta tumba de Jesucristo y su familia en Jerusalén fue recibida con escepticismo en Estados Unidos y Canadá. El director James Cameron (Titanic) presentó la noche del lunes en Nueva York un féretro que, según sus palabras, puede contener los restos de Jesús de Nazaret y sobre el cual se rodó un documental.

The New York Times cita ayer al profesor de Harvard Lawrence E. Stager señalando que el hallazgo "explota la idea que El código Da Vinci (de Dan Brown) difundió". El diario canadiense Globe and Mail calificó el descubrimiento de "una historia improbable, que parece una película de Hollywood".

El documentalista israelo-canadiense Simcha Jacobovici y Cameron concluyeron de lo hallado que Jesús se casó con María Magdalena y tuvo un hijo. Los cineastas presentaron durante la conferencia de prensa dos estrechos féretros de piedra caliza encontrados en una cueva en los años 80 durante obras en el barrio Talpiot de Jerusalén. Los ataúdes fueron custodiados desde entonces junto a otros ocho por las autoridades israelíes. Pero, los huesos que se encontraban allí fueron sepultados nuevamente según lo estipulaba la ley.

The Thinnest LCD of the World

Technology continues to become more miniaturized day-by-day, with thinner, sleeker gadgets constantly rolling out from the design headquarters of the world’s electronics and computer manufacturers, but it’s dog-gone rare when a company beats its own record and renders its latest merchandise obsolete before it goes on sale.

The suits at Samsung SDI are currently gloating over their compatriots over at Samsung Electronics for coming up with a thinner LCD, creating a display that’s only 0.74 millimeters thick. That’s .08 mm thinner than the 0.82 mm units the Electronics boys announced just three short months ago. Is it too late to take back their Christmas bonuses?

While the new 0.74 mm LCD is a prototype, SDI is set to roll out a practically supersized 1.9 mm wide LCD in Q2 of 2007 as part of the company’s Ultra Edition II series of phone products. Samsung SDI said that the new 0.74 mm screens won’t be implemented until the company’s next generation of handheld devices. So, buy now or wait a year?

Samsung may be the current leader in having the thinnest LCD technology but rival manufacturer LG Philips LCD is miles ahead – well, really it’s about a foot-and-a-half ahead — in the race to manufacture the largest screen. LG unveiled a 100-inch LCD TV screen last March, beating the biggest Samsung model by 18 inches. At the time Samsung said that it didn’t have any plans to make an LCD larger than 82 inches. Maybe the old adage is true for the workers at Samsung: it doesn’t matter how big it is but how thin you can make it.

Sony Woos Buyers With PS3 Freebies

TOKYO - Sony is handing out freebies to buyers of its PlayStation 3 as its hefty price appears to be scaring away shoppers. The latest giveaway will take place in Australia, where the gaming console launches March 23. The first 20,000 buyers will receive a copy of the James Bond movie "Casino Royale."

Free downloads of the PS3 game "Gran Turismo" _ out since December for U.S. and Japanese PS3 owners _ also will be offered in Australia. A PlayStation 3 model with a 60-gigabyte hard drive costs 999.95 Australian dollars ($790). The console costs $600 in the U.S., where it's been on sale since November.

"They have to sweeten the deal a little bit," said Hiroshi Kamide, director of research and game expert at KBC Securities Japan in Tokyo. "The problem with the product so far is that no one has fully understood why it's so expensive."

In the U.S., Sony also offered the movie "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" as a freebie. (The movies are produced by Sony's movie studio, and they're given away as Blu-ray high-definition discs, which the game console can play.)

Although Sony officials say PlayStation 3 sales are on track, the machine is still a money-loser for the Japanese electronics and entertainment company. Sony blamed losses in its video game operations for its faltering profits in the October-December quarter, when Sony profits slipped 5 percent to 160 billion yen ($1.3 billion), largely because of PS3 startup costs.

Sony said it shipped 1.84 million PS3 machines worldwide through Dec. 31, and is sticking to its earlier target of 6 million PS3 consoles by March 31. Nintendo Co.'s $250 Wii, which launched about the same time as the PS3, is being snatched up and has been out of stock at some stores. Nintendo sold 3.19 million Wii machines worldwide by the end of the year.

The Kyoto-based maker of "Super Mario" and "Pokemon" games said earlier this year that it's well on its way to reaching its target of global shipment of 6 million Wii machines by March 31, the end of the current fiscal year.Kamide, the gaming industry expert, said the PS3 needs a fuller lineup of new, attractive games to make the purchase seem worth the price."It's the least they can do," he said of the freebies. "If you're paying a head above everybody else for a similar product, a game machine, you want to be able to categorically say the reason why it's so expensive."

Power of consumption of the Wii, PS3, Xbox360 and pc

Compared the power consumption of the Wii, PS3, Xbox360 and pc during gaming, while watching a movie (not possible with Wii) or a HD-movie, at idle and in standby. Different games were tested, but finally they chose NBA Live 2K7 for PS3, Gears of War for Xbox360, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for Wii and Prey for pc. The results speak for their self:


With 198 Watt, the pc consumes the most, immediately followed by the PS3 with 194 Watt. 185 Watt for the Xbox360 is a little bit better, but the absolute winner is the Wii with only 18 Watt.If you want to play a dvd, you're better off with a normal dvd player, so it seems. Those only use 13,5 Watt. Compare this with the Xbox360 consuming 126 Watt, the pc 147 Watt and the PS3 even 173 Watt.Also interesting is the power consumption in standby. Again, the Wii is the winner with only 1,3 Watt. PS3 consumes 1,9 Watt and Xbox360 2,5 Watt. That is, if you disable Connect24 on your Wii. If you leave it on, your Wii consumes 9,6 Watt in standby.If you want to take a closer look at the complete study, go to the HardCOREware site.

Videogames Online: Massively Addictive?

Mike Smith from Yahoo News

The eight million players of massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft don't really change the game's world. Even if you spend all night slaying an epic dragon, it'll still be alive again in time for the next team of intrepid adventurers. But in some cases, the compelling, addictive gameplay characteristic of many massively multiplayer games can have devastating impacts on the real worlds of their players.

After World of Warcraft's first expansion pack The Burning Crusade released last month, adding a new continent to the world and a sizable stack of new adventures for players to tackle, we were inundated with tales of Warcraft woe -- stories of broken marriages, ignored friends, lost jobs, and wrecked lives. If you want to play the game at the top level, a serious commitment of time is required, and that's leading some players to neglect real-world responsibilities.

Clinical psychologist Dr. Orzack sees similarities between game addiction and more traditional behavior disorders
Massively multiplayer addiction is a real phenomenon, and it's one that's being taken increasingly seriously by medical professionals. Facilities are being set up to combat it all over the world: Washington, Bejing, and most famously at the Smith & Jones addiction consultancy in the Netherlands. Smith & Jones compares the symptoms of MMO withdrawal to those characteristic of chemical dependence, and offers a detox program followed up with a series of real-life activities intended to replace the excitement of playing MMOs with equally engaging experiences that don't require 60-hour-a-week commitments.

Closer to home, more traditional avenues of support are available to those who feel their MMO habits are getting the better of them. Maressa Hecht Orzack, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and Director of the Computer Addiction Study Center at McLean Hospital in Belmont, MA, hears from six or seven people a day seeking treatment for gaming addictions. "Look at the fact that World of Warcraft now has eight million people playing it. Even if there are just five or 10 percent who can't stop, that's a large percentage, and I hear from a lot of them."

Dr. Orzack sees similarities between MMO addiction and more traditional behavior disorders such as compulsive gambling. "The same reward center in the brain is tapped -- the dopamine system. Gambling has all the components that go with these games," she explains, citing Solitaire as a simpler example of a game that can also lead to compulsive behavior.

Currently there's no psychiatric diagnosis that covers addiction to World of Warcraft, Everquest, or Solitaire, but that may change as new standards are drafted. Dr. Orzack is hopeful her profession may embrace the concept in the next revision of the authoritative DSM diagnostic text, due for publication in about four years. "There's a push to include compulsive disorders in the new manual," she says, "covering addictive behaviors and compulsive things like game playing and internet usage."

What symptoms might indicate a healthy gaming hobby is turning into a problem? "There are a lot of things. People might ignore their friends, they may not get to work on time, and their family relationships are often affected." She recommends players concerned about their habits look up one of the numerous online communities set up to tackle gaming addictions, consult any employee assistance programs their job might offer, or seek advice from their primary care provider.
