New Planet Found, Smaller Than Earth, Orbiting Distant Star

By NED POTTER Related Content New Planet Found , Smaller Than … Thirty-three light-years away, in the constellation Leo the lion, astronomers say they have found a world considerably smaller than Earth , orbiting a dim red-dwarf star. That's something to think about. While scientists have confirmed the existence of more than 700 so-called exoplanets since 1995, most of them have been giant -- many considerably larger than Jupiter . This new world, say the researchers who found it, may be only 5,200 miles across, about two thirds as large as Earth. "People have been picking at the low-hanging fruit, since Jupiter-sized planets are easier to see," said Kevin Stevenson, the young researcher at the University of Central Florida who led the team making the find. "Now we're really pushing the limits of what our telescopes can find." The newly found world is, for now, called UCF-1.01, and Stevenson and his colleagues found it with NASA's Spitze...

Anthony Weiner's Spouse Huma Abedin: Better Kind of 'Good Wife'

He sexted with porn stars and constituents, lost his job and possibly his career, all while his wife was pregnant. So why did Huma Abedin stay with Anthony Weiner ? That's the obvious question hurled at every woman who has ever stayed with a scandalized politician. But does it really matter? Love, loyalty,and a six-month-old son could all be legitimate reasons.

When the scandalized politician is dad The magazine's latest issue, out Friday, is likely to focus more on the couple's restored family life than Weiner's history of unsavory texts and subsequent cover-ups. If it's a strategic attempt to get her husband's career back on track, it's a clever one. ...

How to browse the web anonymously

Think your online activities are private? Think again. Not only are your surfing sessions tracked by websites, search engines and social networks, but often your Internet service provider (ISP), web browser, government and potentially hundreds of online tracking companies. Whether it's to collect valuable (read: sellable) marketing data or prevent terrorist activity, movie piracy or kiddie porn, everything you think you're doing privately in the comfort of your home is anything but private. But just because you want to spend time online anonymously doesn't mean you're a cybercriminal or have something to hide. Not only do regular folks want privacy, but remaining anonymous can also protect yourself from malicious types out to steal your identity for financial gain — from spammers and scammers alike. And so there are a few things you can do to reduce the odds every click is tracked, archived and shared. The following are a few suggestions on where to sta...

Samsung Galaxy S III review

Samsung’s Galaxy line of Android phones can arguably be credited for bringing Android to the masses and amongst the many models that Samsung released under the Galaxy brand, the Galaxy S II holds a very special position not just for Samsung but for a lot of it’s users as well. It defined Samsung as the best Android device manufacturer and won countless awards for being the best device of last year. Today we look at the follow up to the Galaxy S II, unsurprisingly titled the Galaxy S III and see if Samsung has managed to create a true successor to it’s phenomenal device. Packaging Our review unit of the Samsung Galaxy S III arrived in a very plain looking blue box with Samsung Galaxy S III etched on top.

The unit is available in two colors- blue and white and I recieved the former version, I think white looks nicer. Other than the ...
