Despite the shuttle fleet being retired as of next year, there's a few more flights that will be taken in the coming months. One of these is by the space shuttle endeavour who will be taking up a station known as Tranqulity which will bring the international space station to a completion percentage of 90.

The STS-130 mission launched a couple of days ago, and will see the Tranqulity node, also known as Node 3, attached to the ISS and taking on important roles for water recycling and the distribution of nitrogen and oxygen.

There's only about four more flights in total for the current generation of space fleets. While the Ares rocket is set to be the next generation of space craft beyond this, its development is up in the air thanks to shaky support from the Obama administration.

Apparently Quantum Physics could become involved in smartphones, giving the clever mobile devices the ability to not only be touch controlled, but will also have pressure sensitive touch functions. One suggested application is that you could scroll faster depending on how hard you pressed.

Samsung have now licensed a technology known as "Quantum Tunnelling Composite" though the company behind it is actually based in Yorkshire known as Peratech, who make the composite material QTC. Interestingly one of the other features of the pressure sensitive pad is that it could allow for a 3d style touch screen, as it could allow you to delve through files or applications based on the pressure you exert on them.

China is continuing their crusade to crackdown on those that give the country a bad name, by jailing a man for renting a US server to sell porn to Chinese citizens. However, they didn't put him away for a misdemeanor, this guy's going away for hard time; a full 13 years.

Huang Yizhong, from Jiangmen, was jailed for this period, and fined just under £10,000 for renting a US based server and downloading around 1,000 movies. He then split them up into clip shows and distributed them to this 4,000 members.

This continues the trend of China blocking content to their citizens - which is laughed off by the youth as an impossible task - where they recently cracked down on domain registrations and tens of other porn site owners.

Windows 7 is apparently causing a lot of upgraded laptops to throw out a weird error message telling the users that they need to upgrade their batteries. While people originally thought this meant Windows 7 was causing battery damage or failure, Microsoft says that that's not the case.

"Several press articles this past week have drawn attention to blog and forum postings by users claiming Windows 7 is warning them to 'consider replacing your battery' in systems which appeared to be operating satisfactorily before upgrading to Windows 7" wrote Steven on the Microsoft Windows engineering blog.

Steven writes that PC batteries degrade over time and as a result lose their ability to hold a charge, adding, "A quick check of mainstream laptops will show that batteries usually have a warranty of 12 months, which is about the length of time when statistically we expect to see noticeable degradation (meaning that you start to notice the need to charge more frequently)."

Not too long ago it was reported that the board members at Midway games were taken to task by the creditors, because the mess that became Midway was supposedly down to them; and they - also supposedly - made money despite the company's downturn leaving the creditors to foot the bill.

However, the judge in charge of the case has now ruled that it should be dismissed, setting the entirety of the Midway board off scott free. The reason for their free pass is that in Delaware law unless you actively contribute to the demise of a company, you can't be charged with its downfall; even if you do nothing to stop it.

In his decision, the judge said, “The defendants oversaw the ruin of a once highly successful company, only to hide behind the protective skirt of Delaware law, which the court is bound to apply.”

Backbreaker was announced more than a couple of years ago now, and while nothing was really forthcoming on the Madden-esque sports title, media is starting to come in that keeps the hopes alive of anyone that thought it looked cool to smash other players in a dynamic, non-scripted animation fashion.

A new trailer has tipped up in the last couple of days that shows the continuing development of the title and how much the game has come on since those early test footage shots.

Backbreaker utilises the Euphoria engine to compute tackles and player interactions on the fly, meaning there are no scripted animations for many of the games multi-faceted functions. The trailer also lets viewers in on the fact that the controller setup is very intuitive and allows pick-up and play for most players, mapping movements such as spins and side steps to the right stick.

Despite the Nexus One from Google not doing particularly well, the founder of the Linux foundation Mr. Torvalds apparently likes it a lot; or at least it's "the first phone I don't hate".

Quoted from his blog Torvalds said, "But I have to admit, the Nexus One is a winner. I wasn't enthusiastic about buying a phone on the internet sight unseen, but the day it was reported that it finally had the pinch-to-zoom thing enabled, I decided to take the plunge. I've wanted to have a GPS unit for my car anyway, and I thought that google navigation might finally make a phone useful."

"And it does. What a difference! I no longer feel like I'm dragging a phone with me "just in case" I would need to get in touch with somebody - now I'm having a useful (and admittedly pretty good-looking) gadget instead. The fact that you can use it as a phone too is kind of secondary. "
