Establish an all in one home network with apple time capsule Posted By : Michael Jone

Apple has demonstrated yet again that there are technological frontiers to be explored and innovations to be discovered. Just recently, it has released a new sweet-looking gadget that serves as a Wi-Fi router as well as a backup drive. Though some might think that 499 dollars for 1TB storage is a bit pricey, this is mitigated somewhat by the fact that Apples Time Capsule can also double as a router with multiple ports for docking several networking appliances. A lighter 500 GB alternative can be had, anyway, for a smaller 299 price tag.

Men emerge from capsule testing Mars trip isolation

The men

Six European volunteers have emerged from a simulated space capsule in Moscow after spending more than three months locked inside.

They were part of an experiment into how astronauts might deal with the very cramped conditions and prolonged isolation of a journey to Mars.

The four Russians, a German and a Frenchman seemed none the worse for wear after their "trip".

The capsule, without windows, had never left the ground during the 105 days.

It was designed to make them feel as isolated as they would be on a real trip to Mars, including very cramped accommodation and radio communication delayed by up to 20 minutes.

Just before coming out on Tuesday, the German member of the group admitted that he had completely lost all track of time.

However, 105 days is not nearly long enough to get to Mars and back.

So next year another group of volunteers will enter the same cramped capsule and be sealed inside for a daunting 520 days – nearly a year and a half.</p
