Stare at the white dot in the center of the red circle. The longer you stare - the better (at least 90 seconds and you’ll get a much stronger effect). Try to keep focused on the white dot. Trust me, it will be worth the effort.

Soon after, you will start to see a thin rim of light around the edge. Don’t stop staring yet! Wait another minute - keeping your head perfectly still.

Once you’ve done this, move your head very slowly backwards; making sure to keep your eyes focused on the dot at all times. The circle’s rim will glow brilliantly with true Cyan! Keep on moving your head slowly backwards, and witness the amazing eclipse of the red planet.

Google Begins Radio Ad Testing

Google has started testing a long awaited radio advertising service that represents the internet search leader's most elaborate attempt yet at expanding its financial clout beyond the web.

The test announced on Thursday will help sell advertising on more than 700 radio stations in more than 200 US metropolitan markets. Google hopes to eventually sign up more than 5000 stations, according to documents shown to potential advertisers.

Thursday's announcement didn't specify how many advertisers are involved in the early radio tests nor set a timetable for opening the service to all comers.

Google is betting its technology can do for radio what it has already done for the Internet by automating the process for selling and distributing ads to an audience where the messages are most likely to pique consumer interest. As it does on the Web, Google plans to charge a commission for helping radio stations sell ads.

The Mountain View-based company signaled its intention to expand into radio advertising in January with a $102 million acquisition of dMarc Broadcasting Inc. Since then, Google has been working to make the service compatible with a system that already serves millions of Internet advertisers.

Samsung has broken the record for the world's thinnest mobile LCD display, clocking in a mere 1.23mm, which is 0.07mm than LG and Philips LCD's combined effort.
This new super slim display is available in 2.1" and 2.2" screen sizes and boasts QVGA 240 x 320 pixels resolution, a brightness level of 300 nits, and a contrast ratio of 500 to 1. Samsung's new mobile technology, i-Lens, also allows the integration of the entire panel assembly into a single module that is more robust and clearer than conventional panels. It is widely believed that mass production will begin in Q3 2007 onwards.
