If you use Windows Live Hotmail, you’re probably aware that there’s a built-in calendar which allows you to plan events and access your schedule on the Web.  Until now, you could sync your Live Hotmail email and and contacts with Outlook using a free utility called Outlook Connector, but syncing your online calendar with your Outlook calendar required a paid subscription. However, a new version of Outlook Connector, v12.1 (which is currently in beta) allows you to sync your Live Hotmail email, contacts and calendar entries with Outlook for free.

Outlook Connector 12 requires Outlook 2003 or 2007, and of course, if you sync your Windows Mobile device with Outlook, your calendar entries will also be mirrored on your handheld.  We’ve been using it for a couple of days without a hitch, so if you’re interested, give it a try.

Forget the quest to build the $100 computer; a group of graduate students think they can create the $12 computer–the perfect PC for developing countries. And no, this is not the $10 computer than India announced last week–which turned out to actually be a $100 computer. But India does play an important role in this story…Graduate student, Derek Lomas who lives in India, noticed inexpensive “TV Computers” being sold in India for 500 rupees (less than $12 based on today’s exchange rates). Lomas was intrigued

For years NASA scientists have gathered clues and evidence to form a picture of what they thought was once on the surface of Mars. Current tests aboard NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander have now identified water in a soil samples. The lander's robotic arm delivered the sample last week to an instrument that identifies vapors produced by the heating of samples. This marks the first time Martian water has been “touched” and “tasted”. There is also speculation that more significant news is to come.

“The White House has been alerted by NASA about plans to make an announcement soon on major new Phoenix lander discoveries concerning the “potential for life” on Mars,” wrote Craig Covault, citing anonymous sources on the Phoenix Lander's wet chemistry lab team.

News is starting to trickle out of the Intel camp about their new multi-core x86 architecture for “Visual Computing” dubbed “Larrabee”. Even though details are scarce (for now), we know that the Larrabee family of multi-core chips will be originally aimed at the PC graphics market including Windows and Macintosh desktops as well as handhelds and supercomputers. For sure, more information is to come on this new architecture.

[Intel] will not yet go into the raw performance and feature set of said products, nor is it revealing the actual final number of cores that will be in shipping products. There's no mention of memory sizes, types, or bandwidth. Details about the new vector instruction set and the like are coming later, too.

The potential throttling by ISPs of certain types of Internet traffic has been in the news quite a bit lately. In fact, this last Friday, the FCC issued a ruling (PDF) against Comcast, stating that “Comcast’s network management practices discriminate among applications rather than treating all equally and are inconsistent with the concept of an open and accessible Internet.” Whether the FCC actually has the authority to take action against Comcast in this matter is still under debate, but the core of the FCC’s

It is now being reported by several outlets that the Department of Homeland Security has been granted the power to seize travelers “device(s) capable of storing information in digital or analog form,” including hard drives, flash drives, cell phones, iPods, pagers, beepers, and video and audio tapes” as well as “all papers and other written documentation.” If you are traveling in and out of the US, you might want to take a close look at the this new policy as it allows random warrantless search and seizures at the boarder.

Federal agents may take a traveler's laptop computer or other electronic device to an off-site location for an unspecified period of time without any suspicion of wrongdoing, as part of border search policies the Department of Homeland Security recently disclosed.
