POPSSouth American Pyramids were musical instruments? more: To investigate further, Jorge Cruz of the Professional School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in Mexico City and Nico Declercq of the Georgia Institute of Technology compared the frequency of sounds made by people walking up El Castillo with those made at the solid, uneven-stepped Moon Pyramid at Teotihuacan in central Mexico. At each pyramid, they measured the sounds they heard near the base of the pyramid when a student was climbing higher up. Remarkably similar raindrop noises, of similar frequency, were recorded at both pyramids, suggesting that rather than being caused by El Castillo being hollow, the noise is probably caused by sound waves travelling through the steps hitting a corrugated surface, and being diffracted, causing the particular raindrop sound waves to propagate down along the stairs (Acta Acustica united with Acustica, DOI: 10.3813/AAA.918216).

POPSTaking Names: White House Collecting Data On Web Users - Video Added
Defenders of the White House actions said the Presidential Records Act requires that the administration gather the information and that it was justified in taking the additional step of asking a private contractor to “crawl and archive” all such material. Nicholas Shapiro, a White House spokesman, declined to say when the practice began or how much the new contract would cost. In a June 5, 2008, article in PC Magazine, Mr. Obama said, “The open information platforms of the 21st century can also tempt institutions to violate the privacy of citizens. We need sensible safeguards that protect privacy in this dynamic new world.” The National Legal and Policy Center, a government ethics watchdog, said archiving the sites would have a “chilling effect” on Web site users who might wish to leave comments critical of the administration. Ken Boehm, a lawyer and chairman of the center, also disputed that the presidential records law applies, because the comments are pasted onto . . .

POPSOpen Office- a viable alternative to the microsoft monopoly. I have been using this for about a week now and have uninstalled ms office completely, just part of an ongoing process to rid my windows machine of anything Microsoft, or Google related or any of their numerous affiliates. The program is more than capable of handling the average users requirements, I don't know if it would handle the needs of a business other than on the obvious lack of cost, but it certainly has that potential. Why not give it a go? What do you have to lose? It is free after all.

POPSJo Public is making money designing apps. Here's a squeaky clean iphone app that took Kostas Eleftheriou a week to make and so far has netted him 40K. It really doesn't do anything but one cool effect. New java based userfriendly WYSWYG software is currently in development that can pare that one week timeframe into 1 day. The upside is this software develops across multiple platforms, not just iphone friendly apps. See http://www.xpressmo.com for more details.

POPS15 building tips for new sites New websites need links to develop any sort of search engine visibility. Links pointing to a new website can get it indexed and help it to start ranking for low to medium competition long tail keywords. These keywords will send visitors searching for information on a specific topic to your website and allows you gain a new reader or make some money from whatever affiliate program or ad scheme you are running. I’ve recently set up several websites for some friends and link building was my main concern because I needed links for the webpages to be indexed and start showing up in the search engine.

POPSTerrifying view from skyscraper's 103rd floor Architect Ross Wimer said: 'We did studies that showed a four-foot-deep (1.2 metres) enclosure makes you feel like you're floating since there's only room for one row of people, not two.' The Skydeck attracts 25,000 visitors on clear days. They each pay $15 to take an elevator ride up to the 103rd floor of the 110-story office building that opened in 1973.

POPSCan blue Colored Light Prevent Suicide I'm not sure about suicide but for about a year back in high school I used to wear round sunglasses with blue tinted lenses all the time. I always told people that when I was wearing them I always felt more mellow (and no, it wasn't because of the smoke, didn't venture into that area until well after high school) I guess it wasn't just in my head :) follow the link for the rest.

POPSTetris 25th birthday "I always thought that every game has a certain shelf life. In the early PC business it would take somebody else a year to copy your game, so I thought we had a year or two before somebody came up with a better Tetris," Rogers added. "You know what? They tried. But in 25 years, nobody has." :)

POPSIranian Bus Workers Join the Resistance Iranian society is facing a deep political and economic crisis. Million-strong protests, which have manifested themselves with a silence that is replete with meaning, have become a pattern that is growing in area and dimension, a growth that demands a response from any responsible person and organization. The Autobus Workers Union in an announcement issued before the elections declared, "in the absence of the freedom for political parties, our organization is naturally deprived of a social institution that can protect it." "Workers of the Autobus Workers Union consider their social involvement and political activity to be the certain right of each member of society and furthermore believe that workers across Iran as long as they submit the platforms of presidential candidates and a practical guarantee about campaign slogans can choose to participate or not participate in elections."

POPSJim Willie's COMEX Prediction China is the biggest gold producer in the world now, but none of its output is directed to the open market. Russia is a significant gold producer also, but none of its output is directed to the open market either. A near default occurred in early April from a close call to Deutsche Bank on 850 thousand ounces of gold. Far less gold bullion rests in COMEX vaults than is advertised.
