NASA extends shuttle mission by a day

(CNN) -- NASA is extending the mission of the space shuttle Endeavour by a day so astronauts can do more work on the International Space Station, mission managers announced Sunday.

The shuttle is now scheduled to return to Earth on February 21, after a 14-day mission, the space agency said.

The announcement came as two astronauts completed a spacewalk lasting nearly six hours, NASA said in a statement.

Google 'optimistic' it won't pull out of China

Long Beach, California (CNN) -- Google co-founder Sergey Brin on Friday said he's optimistic that his search engine will not have to pull out of China over hacking and censorship issues.

"I'm an optimist. I want to find a way to work within the Chinese system and provide more and better information," he said. "I think a lot of people think I'm naive, and that may be true."

The remarks came at the annual TED Conference of thought leaders in Long Beach, California.

Coleman Research Group’s Technology, Media & Telecom department highlights Hubble finds primordial galaxies and Nasa launches new infrared telescope

Hubble peers back 13.2 billion years, finds 'primordial' galaxies

Washington (CNN) -- NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has reached back 13.2 billion years -- farther than ever before in time and space -- to reveal a "primordial population" of galaxies never seen before.

"The deeper Hubble looks into space, the farther back in time it looks, because light takes billions of years to cross the observable universe," the Space Telescope Science Institute said in a statement released Tuesday.

"This makes Hubble a powerful 'time machine' that allows astronomers to see galaxies as they were 13 billion years ago -- just 600 million to 800 million years after the Big Bang," the institute said in a statement released Tuesday.

NASA launches infrared telescope to scan entire sky

(CNN) -- NASA launched a new telescope into space on Monday to scan the cosmos for undiscovered objects, including asteroids and comets that might threaten Earth.

The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, spacecraft will employ an infrared camera to detect light- and heat-emitting objects that other orbiting telescopes, such as the Hubble, might miss.

WISE launched Monday at 9:09 a.m. ET aboard a Delta II rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The launch was postponed from Friday because of a problem with the motion of a booster steering engine.

Coleman Research Group’s Technology, Media & Telecom department highlights Recycle yule into Christmas alt-fuel and DDoS attack hobbles sites

Recycle yule into Christmas alt-fuel

For all the joy of Christmas morning, there's certainly a lot of waste involved. Reams of wrapping paper, forests of evergreens and piles of unwanted fruitcakes are discarded after the holidays.

That got us thinking: Wouldn't it be great if some of that trash could be repurposed as fuel? Turns out it can.

We checked with Spencer Quong, an automotive engineer and alt-fuels expert with a sense of humor. He was with the Union of Concerned Scientists before launching his own consulting biz, Quong & Associates.

DDoS attack hobbles sites, including Amazon

An attack directed at the DNS provider for some of the Internet's larger e-commerce companies -- including Amazon, Wal-Mart, and Expedia -- took several Internet shopping sites offline Wednesday evening, two days before Christmas.

Neustar, the company that provides DNS services under the UltraDNS brand name, confirmed an attack took place Wednesday afternoon, taking out sites or rendering them extremely sluggish for about an hour. A representative who answered the customer support line said the attacks were directed against Neustar facilities in Palo Alto and San Jose, California, and Allen Goldberg, vice president of corporate communications for Neustar, confirmed that at about 4:45 p.m. PST, "our alarms went off."

Coleman Research Group’s Healthcare department highlights Tax-Loss Carryback in Congress and Japan Helps Consumer Lenders

Coleman Research Group’s Healthcare Team facilitates consultations between our clients (institutional investors) and leading healthcare professionals on a wide variety of topics including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, clinical research, medical devices, healthcare providers, insurance, and regulatory issues.

Our Healthcare network spans technology industries across the globe and includes doctors, researchers, scientists, healthcare executives, consultants, and former regulatory officials.

********************************

Tax-Loss Carryback Provision Glides in Congress

Congress appears to be on the verge of giving a $30 billion-plus handout to U.S. corporations but—unlike so many other spending provisions—this one is provoking little opposition on Capitol Hill.

The legislation would tweak corporate tax rules that would allow businesses to apply losses sustained in recent years against taxes on profits paid in earlier years. It would do this by extending the so-called net-operating-loss carryback period for firms of any size from two years to five years and would apply to losses for both 2008 and 2009. A similar expanded loss-carryback provision was part of the Obama Administration's original fiscal stimulus plan, but the final bill was cut back to apply only to small businesses.

********************************

As Japan Helps Consumer Lenders, Bankers Worry About Zombies

In Japan’s consumer lending industry, there has been little to cheer about lately. Less than three years ago, the government began tightening rules on consumer financing firms to discourage them from charging consumers exorbitant rates on loans. It also let borrowers who had crushingly high interest payments request a refund. Then came the global financial crisis, piling on the pain for consumer lenders.

One sign of just how bad things have gotten: In late September, Aiful, Japan’s second-biggest consumer lender, asked its own creditors for more time to pay off debts. With new tougher regulations set to go into effect next June, including a lower cap on what consumer lenders can charge, the industry was starting to resemble a train wreck in slow motion. Last fiscal year, Promise and Takefuji swung to an operating loss, while Acom’s profits fell to less than half the previous year’s level. By the end of September, the number of consumer lenders had fallen to less than 5,000, from more than 14,200 in March 2006, according to the Financial Services Agency.

Coleman Research Group’s Technology, Media & Telecom department highlights G-Oil bio-based motor oil and time-lapse movies with your iPhone

********************************

G-Oil bio-based motor oil now available for cars

Green Earth Technologies (GET) announced Wednesday that its environmentally friendly motor oil for cars will soon be available on shelves across the U.S.

The manufacturer of the biodegradable, carbon neutral motor oil made in part from the animal fat of beef slaughter byproducts has been waiting on certification from the American Petroleum Institute before selling its G-Oil to the public.

G-Oil has received API starburst certification, a symbol put on a product's packaging to signify it meets specific standards and is recommended for use by leading vehicle manufacturers. GET's car oil was additionally granted the API service symbol donut, a seal signifying an oil product has "energy-conserving properties in a standard test in comparison to a reference oil."

********************************

Make easy time-lapse movies with your iPhone

Time-lapse movies can be a complicated affair, and quite often involve either a lot of special equipment, and/or post-processing skills. For just a buck though, you can use the recently released Timelapser app (link opens in iTunes) to turn your iPhone into a tool that can do this time-bending filming technique using nothing more than the onboard camera.

Timelapser's interface tells you how long your movie will be, and how many shots it's taken. Depending on what model of phone you have you can use the app to take a picture anywhere from every three seconds to once per half hour. All the while it grabs each frame and stitches it into a movie that's saved on the phone, and that can also be e-mailed to friends.

Coleman Research Group’s Technology, Media & Telecom department highlights charges swirl around Intel/AMD deals and virtual world Meez sees profit

Charges swirl around insider trading on Intel, AMD deals

Think of it as a twist on the old rivalry between chip giants Intel and Advanced Micro Devices. But this time, the rivalry is about which company can make a hedge fund more money.

The complaint filed by the government against six people on Friday details how a relatively obscure Intel treasury executive and a prominent hedge fund manager allegedly participated in an insider-trading ring centered on an Intel investment. The document also shows alleged insider trading of AMD shares by an adviser from McKinsey & Company before the chipmaker spun off of its manufacturing operations.

The case revolves around Raj Rajaratnam, who founded the Galleon Group, a New York-based hedge fund that manages $7 billion in funds. Federal prosecutors charged Rajaratnam and five others on Friday with securities fraud, alleging they were involved in insider trading of some of the most well-known tech companies including Intel, Google, AMD, and IBM.

********************************

Teen virtual world Meez sees profit

Meez, a start-up that expanded last year from an avatar creation service into a full-out virtual world for teens, is touting some good news: it's been profitable since April and "every month is better than the last month," CEO John Cahill told CNET News.

Right now, Meez has about 13 million registered users, 3 million unique hits per month, and only 20 full-time employees plus about 10 contractors.

Where's the money coming from? Premium subscriptions, ads on the free version of the site, and virtual goods bought and sold with its internal "Coinz" currency--which includes a mobile virtual-gift deal with Verizon.
