Washington, Aug 3: Bullies have moved over the school grounds and have found a new place to wield punches on their prey – the cyber world.

“Cyberbullying,” as it’s now called, is like regular bullying except it’s done online through sites like Facebook and MySpace and the use of cell phones, says Dr. Vivian Wright of the University of Alabama. 

Dr. Vivian Wright of The University of Alabama defines cyberbullying and discusses how schools deal with its student impact, how students can protect themselves online, and how teachers embrace new technologies as teaching methods.

“‘Cyberbullying’ is much worse because you cannot see the bully, and it’s a 24/7 thing. You can’t get away from it,” says Wright.

Washington, August 3 : A group of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers have developed a prototype robot-capsule which is adhesive enough to anchor inside an intestine, and yet gentle enough not to tear soft tissue.

The researchers say that the anchoring robot can be swallowed like a normal pill, and move through the body until it reaches the gut.

With the help of a wireless control, they add, a doctor can tell the robot when to expand its legs and anchor.

The research team believes that such a robot can make it possible to peer painlessly inside the human body, and revolutionise biopsies, drug delivery, heat treatment, and other treatment applications.

Sources have announced that Microsoft has decided to cut the price of the Xbox 360 by next month.

But, the news is just rumor at this stage as there has been no official remark on this up till now.

While Microsoft won’t confirm the price cut, gaming sites are buzzing with rumor.

Art Technica reported that the software giant (Microsoft) would slash the price for its Xbox 360 consoles in September 2008.

Washington - Notebook computers are the ultimate space-savers, but you give up a lot when you use them. The screens are small, the keyboards often uncomfortable, and expansion options are limited. Full-sized desktop computers, on the other hand, come with their own downsides - and foremost among them is the fact that they take up a lot of space and consume gobs of electricity.

Enter the small form factor (SFF) PC. Marrying the space-saving, power-sipping advantages of a notebook with the comfort and power of a desktop is their forte. Add in competitive pricing and a growing number of models from which to choose, and you end up with a compelling alternative to traditional PCs for those who don't necessarily need to carry their computer with them.
