Why they called themselves as Azkals

Why Azkals? An askal is a Filipino term for any dog with no pedigree, no breed, no class. The askalis usually astray, unsupported and survives by feeding on whatever provision it can find.

Robotic Insect Takes Off

First flight: This tiny robot weighs just 60 milligrams and has a wingspan of three centimeters. It’s the first robot to achieve liftoff that’s modeled on a fly and built on such a small scale. A life-size, robotic fly has taken flight at Harvard University. Weighing only 60 milligrams, with a wingspan of three centimeters, the tiny robot's movements are modeled on those of a real fly. While much work remains to be done on the mechanical insect, the researchers say that such small flying machines could one day be used as spies, or for detecting harmful chemicals. "Nature makes the world's best fliers," says Robert Wood, leader of Harvard's robotic-fly project and a professor at the university's school of engineering and applied sciences. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is funding Wood's research in the hope that it will lead to stealth surveillance robots for the battlefield and urban environments. The robot's small size and fly-li...

Windows Vista, To Upgrade or not?

Vista without a doubt looks pretty with Microsoft's new sleek interface "Aero" running on it out of the box, but it comes with a price. It requires both 1GB RAM and a 128mb graphics card to be installed. This really isn't a concern to those who have recently bought a computer within the last year, possibly two, but for the rest of us this with 3+ year old computers we're better off buying a whole new system with Vista preloaded than upgrading our computer and then buying the upgrade. Windows Vista is truly a resource hog compared to XP which requires ...
