Astronauts get Internet access in space
Last Friday, American astronauts sent the first live tweet from the space, for the first time, astronauts at the International Space Station realized their dream of accessing internet.
In the past, the tweets need to be sent to Mission Control in Houston via e-mail before being posted, but now the staff of the International Space Station can use computer to surf the internet at the Mission Control, and if the station is actively communicating with the ground, the remote internet access would be available for them.
According to NASA spokesman Kelly Humphries,” The astronauts fell lonely of being far away from family and friends for a long period, so we hope this can encourage them to keep up high morale and improve work efficiency.” But meanwhile, the astronauts will need to abide by the restrictions as the government staff, which means without having influence on work.

Wage growth remain low in the three months to November Average pay excluding bonuses went up at an annual rate of 1.1 per cent during the period, according to figures from the office for National Statistics. However, pay in private sector did not rise at all in November. The findings questioned about the strength of the economic recovery. Because unemployment fell for the first month in 18 months and GDP rose in the fourth quarter of last year, economy is believed to have recovered. But falling pay in private sector raised questions if economy has recovered fully. Low wage growth make inflation less happen in the future. A chief economic adviser think the problem of falling pay in the private sector should be tackled.We can see that the economy did not recover as expected. Wages did not rise in the private sector.

Google Builds a Better Browser
As every body knows that we spend an inordinate amount of time browsing the web every day, like Google says that, “Many users probably spend more time in their browser than they do in their car.” Yet most of us don’t care which browser we’re using, as long as it allows us to check our email, do a little shopping, peruse facebook and send the occasional tweet actually we live and work within a browser and it makes no difference as long as it gets the job done, right! But things are different now.
After years of dominating search on the web, Google is looking to change the way we go about surfing it. A little more than an year ago it launched the beta version of google chrome for windows. It was simple clean and fast. Google chrome’s many virtues include security and stability. (For example, if a site crashes on you, the rest of the tabs in your browser will keep working, no need to relaunch the whole thing. But as we know speed stands out as its key differentiator. Chrome is not only fast its free to download. Furthermore as this news tells us that google put too much effort into developing it because of the size of web based application. These let you create documents, listen to music, edit photos and check your voice mail online.

Ted's homework
Topic:one survivor of Haiti earthquake
Who could believe that people can survive when he was buried under ruins more 14 days? But one man did it. A survivor was pulled out of Haiti earthquake ruins 14 days later. This Haitian earthquake survivor was rescued on 26th Jan after 14 days ,he was founded under a collapsed building. This 35-year-old man, when he was founded, only dressed in underwear, and he was carried out by American rescue team from the ruins of a building in Port-au-Prince. He was driven off for medical treatment but didn’t appear to have any serious injury. It was not clear whether he was trapped in the first quake or other 50 aftershocks. But until now, the Haiti governments said about 200,000 people were killed by earthquake, and there is little possibility that more survivors will be founded.
