Antarctica's Ross Sea is often described as the most isolated and pristine ocean on Earth, a place where seals and penguins still rule the waves and humans are about as far away as they could be.

REUTERS - Smokers may get fewer hours of sleep and have less restful slumber than non-smokers, according to a German study that looked at more than two thousand people. Researchers whose work appeared in the journal Addiction Biology found that of nearly 1,100 smokers surveyed, 17 percent got fewer than six hours of sleep each night and 28 percent reported "disturbed" sleep quality. That compared with rates of seven percent and 19 percent respectively among more than 1,200 non-smokers who were also surveyed, said lead researcher Stefan Cohrs, of Charite Berlin medical school in Germany. ...

GENEVA (Reuters) - Scientists at CERN have smashed together various particles for the first time, moving closer to learning what was in the super-hot plasma wonderland that formed right after the primeval Big Bang, the European physics research centre said on Thursday.

CANBERRA (Reuters) - Australian scientists have developed a genetic test to predict autism spectrum disorder in children, which could provide a long-sought way for early detection and intervention, according to a study published on Wednesday. About one in 150 children has autism, with symptoms ranging from social awkwardness and narrow interests to severe communication and intellectual disabilities, said researchers led by the University of Melbourne.

LONDON (Reuters) - Scientists have found nature's way of creating color that never fades, a technique they say could replace pigments used in industry with natural plant extracts in products from food coloring to security features in banknotes. Layers of cellulose that reflect specific wavelengths of light - 'structural color' found in peacock feathers, scarab beetles and butterflies - make a particularly intense blue in the Pollia condensata plant, scientists say. Samples of the fruit in plant collections dating back to the 19th century had not lost any shine or intensity, they found. ...

(Reuters) - The Green Bay Packers made amends for a surprise opening week loss with a dominant 23-10 victory over division rivals the Chicago Bears on Thursday, as visiting quarterback Jay Cutler endured a game to forget. The home defense swarmed all over Cutler, who was given little protection from his offensive line as he completed just 11-of-27 passes for 126 yards and a lone touchdown while getting sacked seven times and throwing four interceptions. ...

BALTIMORE (Reuters) - The Baltimore Orioles' improbable ride to the top of the American League East continued on Thursday with an electrifying 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Manny Machado delivered the game winner, lining a two-out, run-scoring single off Chris Archer in the bottom of the 14th inning to the delight of the 25,130 fans at Camden Yards. Machado's hit was nearly caught by Matt Joyce but the ball fell just under the left-fielder's glove, allowing Adam Jones to trot home from second and give the Orioles their 13th successive extra-innings win. ...

(Reuters) - The New York Jets will make a decision on whether Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis will play in Sunday's game against the Steelers before the team flies to Pittsburgh on Saturday, coach Rex Ryan said. Revis, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, suffered a concussion in a 48-28 season-opening victory over the Buffalo Bills last weekend. Though he has since been cleared to run and lift weights, he is still barred from contact. "If he's not 100 percent, then Darrelle won't play," Ryan told reporters on Thursday. "It's as simple as that. ...

LONDON (Reuters) - British amateur Charley Hull hit a first-round 71 to sit one shot off the lead in the Women's British Open on Thursday, but her caddie had to make a late dash to the course after his motorbike was stolen. Sixteen-year-old Hull finished the day tied for third behind joint leaders Haeji Kang and So Yeon Ryu of South Korea. World number one and defending champion Yani Tseng is part of a large group on even-par 72. Hull had a better day than her caddie, whose motorbike was stolen from outside his hotel. He caught a taxi to the Royal Liverpool club in Hoylake, Merseyside. ...

LONDON (Reuters) - Sweden's Joel Sjoholm hit a first-round 64 to take a one-shot lead at the Italian Open on Thursday, with three of Europe's Ryder Cup-bound players trailing in his wake.

The Italian was two shots better off than Europe team mate Martin Kaymer of Germany, while France's Nicolas Colsaerts was a further shot adrift. ...

9/14/2012 12:45:46 AM

(Reuters) - There is not much time for self-satisfaction in the National Football League (NFL). Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez of the New York Jets and Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos silenced their off-season doubters with impressive season-opening victories but they face sterner tests this week on the road against tough opponents. It is one thing to shine at home and another thing entirely being able to do it all in a hostile environment. ...

(Reuters) - Starter Max Scherzer was dominant early and the Detroit batters backed him up in the latter stages as the Tigers ate into Chicago's American League Central lead with an 8-6 victory over the White Sox on Wednesday. Scherzer (16-6) struck out seven, to increase his Major League-leading total to 220, and allowed just one run in six innings to set the tone for Detroit as they pulled within one game of Chicago at the top of the division. "I knew this was the biggest start for me this season," Scherzer told reporters. "It's September baseball. ...

(Reuters) - Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus is expected to be back for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs after grieving with his family this week following the death of his brother, the team said. Simeon Gilmore, the defensive tackle's younger brother, was one of three people shot and killed during a burglary in Pelham, Alabama on the weekend.

"We look forward to continuing the healing process, and returning to baseball and our normal lives in the weeks and months ahead," McCarthy, 29, said in a statement. ...

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenyan police seized a cache of explosive-laden vests, grenades and automatic rifles in an overnight raid on a Nairobi apartment on Friday, thwarting an imminent attack by Somali Islamist militants, a senior police official said. East Africa's biggest economy has been on a heightened state of security since Nairobi sent troops into Somalia to crush al Qaeda-linked insurgents who carried out a double suicide bombing in neighbouring Uganda in 2010. Western embassies in Kenya have warned of potential attacks several times in the last nine months. ...

iPhone 5 Reviews / Photos / Launch / Price information - Singapore / Malaysia / Indonesia

2012-09-13T12:19:00.002+08:00

Apple’s next iPhone 5 is official, and despite being the sixth iPhone model (technically), we know it’s officially the iPhone 5 (as the name suggests) in the world.

Over the last year, we've heard a ton of rumors about what it might deliver with LTE (Fastest technology for Data+Voice), a taller display, and a redesigned connector being the most likely tidbits. Fortunately, we now can put all that speculation to rest as Apple spilled the secrets.

The Design - Taller, thinner, and a metal backAs expected, the new iPhone 5 is 19 percent thinner (0.30 inch vs. 0.37 inch thick) than the iPhone 4S. Apple declares it's the thinnest handset around, but that's a race that changes often and maybe slimmer in future. That means it's also 20 percent lighter for a total of 3.95 ounces. The Retina Display expands from 3.5 inches (its size since the original iPhone) to 4 inches in size. The total resolution remains the same, though, at 326 pixels per inch. The total pixel count is 1,136x640, and we now have a 16:9 aspect ratio.To the user, that means a fifth row of icons on the home screen added as more view-able option. That's pretty nice since it will let you cut down on the number of home screens. You'll also get a full five-day week view in the calendar, the calendar will show more events, and all iWork apps will take advantage of the bigger display. Third-party apps that haven't been updated will continue to work, but you'll see black borders on each side (so they won't be stretched or scaled). Apple also promises that wide-screen movies will look better, with 44 percent more color saturation than on the iPhone 4S.Touch sensors are now built into the display itself, which makes it 30 percent thinner as a result and less prone to glare.The iPhone 5 also fixes a design flaw that we first saw in the iPhone 4. Apple replaced the glass back with one that's mostly metal. Too many people (us included) cracked an iPhone 4 or 4S after dropping it accidentally. We don't think the change negatively affects the iPhone's aesthetics. In fact, many might see it as an improvement. A return to a metal back reminds one of the original iPhone, and the crisp, clean-cut back has a bit of the feel of other Apple devices like the iPad.All of the design changes result in a new iPhone that's surprisingly light to hold. Think 20 percent lighter isn't a big deal? Pick one of these up and you'll feel the difference: the iPhone 4 may have been dense, but the iPhone 5 is a featherweight.The screen is big, bright, and crisp, too, not shockingly so, but a subtly improved experience. It's akin to being the extrawide comfy chair of iPhone screens. Stay tuned for more, but this new iPhone has a good hand feel.

Service Providers , LTE and carriers
Not a shocker either, but the iPhone 5 will support 4G LTE networks. That's in addition to the current support for GPRS, EDGE, EV-DO, and HSPA data networks. LTE has a single chip for voice and data, a single radio chip, and a "dynamic antenna" that will switch connections between different networks automatically.

So which carriers will support an LTE iPhone 5? Well, in the United States that means AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless. So again, T-Mobile loses out. In Canada it's Bell, Telus, Fido, Virgin, and Kudo. In Asia the providers will be SoftBank, SmarTone, SingTel, and SK Telecom. For Australia there's Telstra, Optus, and Virgin Mobile, and in Europe it will go to Deutsche Telekom and EE. On carriers without LTE, the iPhone 5 will run on dual-band 3.5G HDPA+.

In Singapore Singtel & M1 are already ready to serve the 4G LTE speeds and there might be cap on the data traffic in every account or subscriber

A faster chip on the new iPhone 5 called at A6 (Not the Audi)
The iPhone 5 will offer an A6 chip, which is two times faster than the current A5 chip. Graphics will get faster speeds, as well. Yet, despite the speedier performance, the new chip will be 22 percent smaller than the A5. According to Apple's specs, users will see Web pages load 2.1 times faster, and the Music app with songs will load 1.9 times faster. So processing is gonna be faster.

More battery life increase the option to sustain more
LTE tends to be a power hog, but the iPhone 5 is set to deliver respectable battery life. Of course, the real story may differ, but here's what Apple is promising for now. We're supposed to get 8 hours of 3G talk time, 8 hours of 3G browsing, 8 hours of LTE browsing, 10 hours of Wi-Fi browsing, 10 hours of video playback, 40 hours of music playback, and 225 hours of standby time. You can be sure that CNET will put these promises to the test when we get a device in our hands.

Camera has been enhanced
The main shooter, or the "iSight" camera, stays at 8 megapixels (with the best resolution being 3,264x2,448 pixels) with a feature list that includes backside illumination, a hybrid IR filter, a five-element lens, and a f2.4 aperture. A dynamic light mode is new, and you should be able to launch photography apps up to 2.1 times faster. Another addition is an image signal processor in the A6 chip. That will bring spatial noise reduction and a "smart filter" that produces better low-light performance and captures photos faster. Finally, there's a built-in panorama mode that stitches shots together for one large 28-megapixel photo.

The secondary front camera now can shoot 720p HD video and it gets a backside illuminated sensor. And as we heard at the announcement of iOS 6 back in June, FaceTime will work over 3G cellular networks. Some carriers like AT&T have already announced restrictions for that feature, so be sure to check with your provider first.

Video resolution remains at 1080p HD, though image stabilization has been improved and face detection is now available in clips for up to 10 people. And in a nice move, you can take photos while you're shooting video.

Audio (Surround)
The iPhone 5 gets an additional microphone for a total of three. You'll find one on the bottom, one on the handset's front face, and one on its rear side. What's more, the speaker now has five magnets (so up from two), which is apparently better and it's supposed to use 20 percent less space. The noise-canceling feature should be improved, as well, and there's a new wideband audio feature that promises more-natural-sounding voices. Twenty percent of carriers will support wideband audio, but so far we only know that Orange in the United Kingdom will be among them.

Smaller dock connector, smaller SIM card (
On the bottom of the iPhone 5, there's that new and long-anticipated smaller dock connector. Called "Lightning," it has an all-digital, eight-signal design and an "adaptive interface" (we're not quite sure what that means yet). It's 80 percent smaller, and since it's reversible, both ends will be the same (that's kind of nice).

By all means, it's bound to annoy owners of current speaker docks, accessories, and charger/syncing cables since it will render them obsolete. Apple will offer an adapter and adapter cables (of course it will), which range from $9 to $39 and you can source it from China as well. We imagine, though, that the adapter may be awkward to use with some current accessories like a bedside alarm clock/music player. For new accessories, Apple says that manufacturers like Bose, JBL, and Bowers are working on new products.

Though we welcome the idea of a smaller connector, we're miffed that Apple couldn't just adopt the semi-industry standard of Micro-USB. That would make things easier for smartphone users across the globe. Yet, even so, the smaller connector may be a smart move for the future. The 30-pin connector has been around since 2003, long before the iPhone even existed: frankly, it's a dust magnet. A smaller connector helps shave extra space to achieve a smaller phone with perhaps a bigger battery. The new connector cable will mainly be used for syncing and charging by most people who own an Apple TV or Bluetooth/AirPlay accessories.

iOS 6 - The New generation OS
Inside, the iPhone 5 will debut with iOS 6 already onboard. Highlights include the new Apple Maps app, Passbook, shared photo streams, Siri updates, and the aforementioned FaceTime over 3G. For more on Apple's newest mobile OS update, check out our iOS 6 First Take. iOS 6 will be available for download next Wednesday, September 19.

Release date and pricing
The iPhone 5 will be available in three capacity models, all of which will come in black and white versions. The 16GB is $199, the 32GB $299, and the 64GB $399. On September 21, it will go on sale in nine countries: the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Anyone in that first batch of countries can preorder starting September 14. More countries will follow by the end of this month, and by the end of the year, the iPhone 5 will land at 240 carriers in 100 countries. As a reminder, the U.S. carriers are the Big Three: Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint.

Is this the iPhone you've been looking for?
During very brief hands-on time with the iPhone 5, this much is clear: it's the weight you'll remember more than its thinner profile. The iPhone 4S is already a svelte device: most people probably won't spot the difference if they see the new iPhone from the side.

The screen size, also, is more of a subtle improvement. This isn't a jaw-dropping leap from the iPhone 4S: it's a gradual increase, done almost so cleverly that the front face of the iPhone 5 might, with the screen turned off, look very much like the iPhone 4S. The proof will be in the pudding for how app developers and iOS 6 take full advantage of that extra screen real estate, but the bottom line is this: more screen size and more pixels are good things.

The real killer app on this phone -- no surprise -- might be the iPhone's 4G LTE, as well as the promised battery life. If data speeds and battery life can live up to the promises, those alone will make many want to upgrade.

iPhone 5 Release News Update for Singapore / Worldwide from Apple Updates

2012-09-12T12:28:00.004+08:00

The iPhone 5 will be released tomorrow which is 12 Sep 2012 in USA but other parts of world might be the deadly "13" number of the day to be launched. That’s right, after months of waiting we will finally be able to see the most hyped product release in history of the Apple. Apple will announce the newest iPhone at a major event at the specified event place on Wednesday, September 12th. The iPhone 5 is expected to sell record numbers and trump all other product release this holiday season.

Apple bosses will only unveil the iPhone at this event, it will not be available right away for the public for sale & consumers in Singapore / Asia will be waiting to know the release sale date. The iPhone will be available for preorder on September 12th through the online Apple store in many parts of the world maybe. According to multiple reports online on various sites the in-store iPhone 5 release date is not until September 21st.

In addition to the iPhone 5 being released this week, there are plenty of other rumors surrounding Apple’s major event – new iPods, a mini iPad, but for now, here is everything that we know about the upcoming iPhone 5 which will most likely be dubbed “the new iPhone.” Although look at the shadow of the invite, looks like a ’5′ doesn’t it? ... and everyone is gonna wait till iPhone turns into a piece of paper and be named as iPhone 10 (Slimmest ever phone with wireless Sim Card - You seriously dont need to plug in sim card anymore)

iPhone 5 Release Date expected to be for sale from 21 Sep 2012

We can now confirm from various online websites iPhone 5 release date is on September 12th at a major Apple event and expected to hit stores on September 21st 2012. The iPhone 5 will be available for pre-order on Sept. 12. iOS 6 is also expected to be released at this September iPhone 5 launch event in the USA . We have also heard a rumor of a new mini iPad being released this fall along side the iPhone 5 release date.

iPhone 5 Potential Specifications and Upgrades / Accessories Cables

The biggest update to the iPhone 5 is a new iPhone connector and larger iPhone screen and maybe better camera with face recognition. This is huge news because now Apple’s chargers will no longer be consistent across devices and a larger iPhone screen has been on everyone’s wish list since day one.

The latest rumors are that of a centered front facing camera and the possibility of Near Field Communication NFC controllers directly connected to the Power Management Unit of the new iPhone. This NFC rumors comes from a report on 9to5mac. NFC has been a buzzword surrounding the mobile industry for a while. Let’s see if Apple can introduce it successfully to the world.

The next enormous specification change is having built in the 4G LTE compatibility for the iPhone5. Most Android phones are already using the 4G network, so this move makes complete sense. Next, a quad core processor and upgraded chipset, here’s a new report on the possibility of a quad core processor. Next, is the potential of a special 3D camera for the iPhone – take this one with a very large grain of salt though. Last but not least is the introduction of a “LiquidMetal” casing which would allow for a stronger and unique casing. Check out the report below. In addition to a few new specs, you can expect to see an updated operating system aka iOS 6. Here are some rumors surrounding the iOS 6 release date.

China factories have already started selling and producing accessories in wholesale and retail for the new iPhone 5 which is the most wanted phone in the world right now. Places like Guangzhou / Shenzhen are going to be visited by many buyers from all over the world and there is going to be great sales during the Canton Fair also in Guangzhou. Hong Kong is also going to showcase for the sale of gadgets / accessories for new iPhone / iPods / iPADS.

What's new?

Some of the 'leaked' pictures suggest it has a pay-and-go chip built in, allowing people to swipe at the checkout for goods under £25. The screen is expected to be larger too, countering the Samsung Galaxy S3's 4.2in screen. There may also be a new charger - which could have a knock-on effect for existing accessories.

There is also talk of finger print technology and a music streaming service.

While early reports pegged a new iPhone release date for October, landing closely to last year's schedule, it seems we'll be seeing the phone in September this year as Apple looks to take on Samsung's new phone sooner rather than later, with multiple sources claiming we will see Apple take to the stage on September 12, although claims we'll see it launch alongside the iPad Mini seem a bit outlandish.

iPhone 5 name

Update: Now Apple has sent out the invite to its event on September 12, it looks every more likely the sixth generation of iPhone will be confusingly called the iPhone 5.

We reckon iPhone 5 series is still the possible name of the new iPhone, but it could follow the new iPad and end up being called, simply, the new iPhone. We really hope not. One thing is for sure, Apple has already filed a complaint over the ownership of the iPhone5.com URL.

Apple is apparently testing two versions of the next iPhone, which are known as the Series of the new iPhone 5 as "iPhone5,1" and "iPhone5,2" - so could handset number six for Apple actually be called number 5?
