The scientists also documented evidence of cold water-loving species shifting towards both poles to escape rising ocean temperatures. Chionodraco hamatus, an Antarctic ice fish, can withstand temperatures that freeze the blood of all other fish types.
These discoveries result in series of landmark.
Among many other findings,The scientists had found marine life that in Both Arctic And Antarctic poles apparently share in common things include marathoners such as grey whales and birds, but also worms, crustaceans, and angelic snail-like pteropods, the latter discoveries opening a host of future research questions about where they originated and how they wound up at both ends of the Earth.
Ice oceans of the Arctic and Antarctic have revealed a trove of secrets to Census of Marine Life explorers, who were especially surprised to find at least 235 species live in both polar seas despite a distance of more than 13,000-kilometer distance in between.

Happy Valentines
In the word, love can be explained in thousands of ways, but the only word that comes to my mind is you. I think we dream so we don’t have to be away from one another. If we are in each other’s dreams, we will always be together.- Hobbes
Life’s greatest happiness is, to be convinced that we are loved.
Happy Valentines Day!

Wow $10 laptop
Wow $10 laptop unveiled yesterday? Yeah, it’s not a laptop. I’ve been reading conflicting information about this device for the past few months. Sometimes it’s supposed to cost $10, sometimes $100. And sometimes it’s called a laptop while other times it had been referred to as a portable computer, which isn’t necessarily the same thing as a laptop. Now that the first image of the device has popped up online, the picture is becoming a bit more clear. As I predicted last week, there’s no keyboard or CPU. The box is a portable device that’s about 10 inches by 5 inches, and which can store information. You can access that info from a full fledged computer. It sounds to me like this is a glorified USB flash drive, but it’s also supposed to be able to let users connect to the computer, so I’m guessing there’s some sort of processor in there. The price right now is being pegged at closer to $30 than $10, but the goal is to bring the cost down so that the Sakshat doesn’t cost much more than a textbook. You know, unless you also want to plug in a monitor and keyboard.

Nayantara Banned from Kollywood
Nayanthara, the top heroine of south India, has been banned by Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) and Nadigar Sangam from acting in any further Tamil movies.
The verdict was given on hearing the complaint made by the producer of 'Paiyaa' against Nayantara following the latter failing to pay back the advance amount even after backing out from the project. Sources from TFPC say that both the organizations were forced to put a ban on her for refusing to pay back producer and director Lingusamy the advance money.
The TFPC and Nadigar Sangam have said in no uncertain terms to its members, the producers, not to sign her for any future films. In their statement they have requested the producers association in other languages also to cooperate with them in not signing the actress for any further films.
Nayantara however, remained unperturbed. She has reportedly said to a journalist that it was true that she got the money and that she refused to pay it back. She says she has her own reasons for doing so and that she was not given a chance to put forth her argument before the organizations.
