The Dow may be tanking and we could be heading into a global recession in the near future, but there's a green lining to it all, according to Reuters. Mother Earth might get a breather from those dastardly carbon emissions, what with shuttered factories and all. Here's how the financial news wire teased a story on the afternoon of October 7, a day after the Dow closed below 10,000 for the first time...

(PhysOrg.com) -- The CoRoT satellite has discovered a planet-sized object so exotic that astronomers are unsure whether to call it a planet. The object, named CoRoT-Exo-3b, is approximately the same size as Jupiter, but more than 20 times its mass. It orbits a star slightly larger than the Sun every 4 and a quarter days, and passes in front of the star each time. When this occurs CoRoT observes a small...

LittleBigPlanet 'Giant Calculator' gameplay The ingenuity and sheer incredibleness of the creations in the Little Big Planet beta continues to ratchet up with each passing day. I really was not expecting to see anything that could top the video we posted yesterday which recreated the theme to Final Fantasy X , but it's been done: Behold the "Little Big Computer." The creator, PSN user 'Upsilandre,'...

Fred Barnes' article in the Weekly Standard has a classic Fred Barnes opening sentence: "Sarah Palin's scintillating success in last week's vice presidential debate with Joe Biden has made her an enormous asset (again) to John McCain's bid for the presidency."

If you ask me, there's not a whole lot wrong with Little Big Planet . It's a tremendous amount of fun, as I'm sure anyone in the ongoing beta will tell you, but there are a few nagging issues here and there that I'd like to see fixed. Apparently, I'm not alone on at least one of those issues -- Media Molecule co-founder Mark Healey agrees that the controls aren't perfect. Speaking with Eurogamer ,...

So after Matt has finished raving about Little Big Planet I came across this commercial for the game and have to say that the extra content is spot on. Kratos, Minotaur and Medusa never looked so good in sack form, unfortunately it can only be unlocked if you pre-order through Gamestop right now, but I [...]

Honestly, where do they get this crap from? Rural communities which protect nature and exploit forests, wetlands and wildlife sustainably will be the best equipped to cope with the droughts and floods that will increasingly hit Africa, Asia and Latin America with climate change, says a new UN-backed report. Yeah, right - which is why a bit of rain leaves thousands homeless in Baltimore while a torrential...
