Paris Hilton, detained in South Africa on suspicion of marijuana possession.

A drug charge against Paris Hilton, who was detained Friday in South Africa on suspicion of marijuana possession, has been dropped, police said.

Hilton and another woman, Jennifer Rovero, were taken into custody at the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium on possession charges, police said in a statement.

The single count against the heiress was dropped after Rovero pleaded guilty to the same charge, police said. She faces a fine.

Hilton appeared calm when she appeared before a magistrate judge in Port Elizabeth, a reporter for affiliate ETV told CNN. Rovero works as a freelance photographer for Hilton, reporter Lance Witten said.

Brain regulatory gene identified

Scientists have identified a gene that seems to be a master regulator of human brain development.

The human brain is a marvel of nature with more than 100 billion neurons and billions of other specialised cells.

A team of scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UWM) have identified a gene - known as Pax6 - which guides undifferentiated stem cells to tightly defined pathways in becoming different types of cells in the brain.

The new finding is important because it reveals the main genetic factor responsible for instructing cells at the earliest stages of embryonic development to become the cells of the brain and spinal cord. Identifying the gene is the first critical step towards routinely forging customised brain cells in the lab. Moreover, the work contrasts with findings from animal models such as mouse and zebra-fish, pillars of developmental biology and thus helps cement the importance of the models being developed from human embryonic stem cells.

Now a Blind Person car Drive with Tactile Feedback system.

Scientists are inching closer to develop a special car which can be driven by blind motorists.

The unique car, expected to be built as early as next year, will be equipped with a new technology that would help a sightless person to get behind the wheel.

The technology, called Non-visual Interfaces, will guide its driver through traffic by transmitting information about nearby vehicles or objects.

Vibrating gloves or streams of compressed air directed behind the wheel are among the options for communicating the information needed to avoid collisions and reach a destination.

Australian scientists develop the ideal prawn.

After 10 years of careful breeding and research, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) scientists have bred a larger tiger prawn, which will reduce the need to import the popular seafood platter and barbecue food.

The new prawn, which has won five gold medals at Australian marine aquaculture shows in recent years, means an increase in prawn yield from an average of around 5 tonnes per hectare to 17.5 tonnes per hectare.

"One of the (prawn) ponds actually achieved 24.2 tonnes per hectare, which is a world record," Bruce Lee, director of the CSIRO's Food Future Flagship.

Scientist see swallowed snakes inside the Python body with new Imaging Techinques.

Scientists have used the latest imaging techniques to look inside a python that had just swallowed a rat whole.

The resulting footage is part of a project using hi-tech scanning methods to explore animals' anatomy.

It took 132 hours for snake to fully digest the rat, the scientists said. Their work has revealed other strange insights into python digestion.

They presented the study at the Society for Experimental Biology's annual meeting in Prague, Czech Republic.

Documents leaked to BGR show Apple Knows About iPhone 4’s Flaws.

According to documents leaked to Boy Genius Report , AppleCare representatives are being given a strong company line to deliver to unhappy iPhone 4 owners who complain about reception issues.

Employees are told to say that the device’s reception performance “is the best we have ever shipped” and that its critical antenna flaws are “a fact of life in the wireless world.” They are told not to perform service on iPhones with these problems and instead to give customers a PR-driven recitative instead.

One law firm is even preparing for a class-action lawsuit against Apple and is soliciting iPhone 4 customers to contact them about reception issues.

Microsoft Kin is set to be Stopped.

The Kin, two Microsoft-branded phones targeted at teenager users, is all set to be no longer available.

The Kin, formerly known as “Project Pink,” was revealed in April and lauched on the Verizon network in May. However, ominous signs emerged for the phone’s demise after Microsoft cut the price of the Kin in half.

Here is Microsoft’s official statement on the Kin:

“Microsoft has made the decision to focus on the Windows Phone 7 launch and will not ship KIN in Europe this fall as planned. Additionally, we are integrating our KIN team with the Windows Phone 7 team, incorporating valuable ideas and technologies from KIN into future Windows Phone releases. We will continue to work with Verizon in the U.S. to sell current KIN phones.”

Fit people are seems to be Smart.

The facts is that team of researchers have found that smarter people are apparently a bit more symmetrical in terms of the shape of their body than less-intelligent individuals. The team observed that body symmetry is measured by looking at those parts of the body that come in pairs, right and left — such as fingers, toes, hands and feet — and then measuring and comparing the width and length of each side.

To arrive at their conclusion, the researchers examined 14 previous studies that in total explored the possible body-brain connection among nearly 1,900 people.

They noted that past efforts have pointed towards intelligence as being a key indicator of future health, mortality and perhaps even overall fitness; a critical ingredient in boosting the chances for reproductive success and overall survivability.

It was this evidence of a connection between fitness and brains that sparked the notion among the team that body symmetry might correlate with intelligence.

Earphones can cause Deafness.

High volume at which they hear music via earphone could cause deafness.

How it works

To understand how high volume affects your hearing, you need to understand how sound travels. We listen when sound travels down the ear canal and causes the eardrum to vibrate, which in turn causes three small bones in the middle ear to vibrate and amplify the sound.

The third middle ear bone vibrates against the snail shaped cochlea of the inner ear. The cochlea is filled with fluid and is lined with frequency-sensitive hair cells that convert vibrations into electrical signals going to the brain. The cells that respond to high frequency sounds are located in the outer cochlea while those for the low frequencies are located in the inner parts of the cochlea.

Earphones can cause Deafness.

CNN's Legend Larry King to step down

New York: In the face of falling ratings, the CNN host Larry King announced on Tuesday evening, that he would end his long-running talk show, "Larry King Live," this fall.

Jonathan Klein, president of CNN's domestic channel, said that Mr. King, 76, was ending the show "on his own terms," just after his 25th anniversary. Mr. Klein said he would announce a new 9 pm program over the summer.

Mr. King will stay at CNN part time. In an announcement on his show, he said that he would host an undetermined number of specials "on major national and international subjects." "Larry King Live," the centerpiece of the CNN primetime schedule, has seen its ratings drop sharply in the recent years, particularly in the last six months, leading to widespread talk that Mr. King's current contract, which will expire in June 2011, could be his last. Asked by Bill Maher, his guest on his Tuesday night show, about the speculation in the media, Mr. King said "that had nothing to do with it." He said he approached CNN management about the change and they "graciously accepted."

Naomi Campbell was given 'Blood Diamonds'?

A war crimes court has ruled that model Naomi Campbell can be called to testify in a case against former Liberian President Charles Taylor.

Prosecutors for the UN-backed court for Sierra Leone say she was given a "blood diamond" by Mr Taylor in 1997 at Nelson Mandela's house in South Africa.

Mr Taylor is accused of using such diamonds to fuel an insurgency in Sierra Leone that cost many lives.

Ms Campbell had previously refused to provide testimony to prosecutors.
