James Cameron: The Future Of 3D Will Be Defined By TV

cameronBlockbuster movie director James Cameron made the top two worldwide grossing films of all time - Titanic and Avatar. This week in Las Vegas he spoke not to the movie industry, but to television broadcasters at the NAB convention about how important TV is to the future of 3D. TechCrunch also got a chance to talk to him about 3D on tablets and tweeting from the bottom of the ocean.

Lenovo ThinkPad T430 with Ivy Bridge surfaces on university website

Lenovo ThinkPad T430 with Ivy Bridge surfaces on university website

Who would've thought the scholars over at St. John's U. would be the ones to unintentionally reveal an unannounced Lenovo laptop? In this particular case, the star of the informal unveiling is a certain 14-inch ThinkPad T430, which we imagine is just one of many notebook refreshes we're going to see once Intel goes official with Ivy Bridge. Of course, the main attraction here is the T430's Core i5-3210 CPU, that's paired alongside 6GB of RAM, a 500GB, 7200RPM hard drive and a 6-cell battery -- at least in this specific model. Much to our disappointment, however, we couldn't spot any info related to pricing or availability, though the university's laptop program home page makes it seem as if it's up for grabs now. So, those hitting the books at the Big East school can head to the source below and see if you can claim one of these for yourself.

Researchers out faux product review groups with a lot of math and some help from Google

Google sponsors research that outs faux product review groups, calculates 'spamicity' and more

Ever consulted a crowdsourced review for a product or service before committing your hard-earned funds to the cause? Have you wondered how legit the opinions you read really are? Well, it seems that help is on the way to uncover paid opinion spamming and KIRF reviews. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have released detailed calculations in the report Spotting Fake Reviewer Groups in Consumer Reviews -- an effort aided by a Google Faculty Research Award. Exactly how does this work, you ask? Using the GSRank (Group Spam Rank) algorithm, behaviors of both individuals and a group as a whole are used to gather data on the suspected spammers.

Factors such as content similarity, reviewing products early (to be most effective), ratio of the group size to total reviewers and the number of products the group has been in cahoots on are a few bits of data that go into the analysis. The report states, "Experimental results showed that GSRank significantly outperformed the state-of-the-art supervised classification, regression, and learning to rank algorithms." Here's to hoping this research gets wrapped into a nice software application, but for now, review mods may want to brush up on their advanced math skills. If you're curious about the full explanation, hit the source link for the full-text PDF.

High Blood Pressure Home Remedies | Health and Fitness

Are you looking for the most effective high blood pressure home remedies? You?re in luck today because this article contains the best food alternatives that you can make use of. Consider these four food options listed below to help you fight the damaging effects of hypertension.

4 Natural Remedies for High Blood Pressure

1. Fruits and Vegetables

These two basic foods are probably the most accessible ones. They can often be found in the comfort of your own homes, so there?s no need to hassle yourself with getting them. Foods that contain high levels of potassium and fiber are proven to lower blood pressure rates, that?s why they are highly recommended by physicians. Below are some good examples:

? Foods rich in potassium: avocados, baked potatoes, bananas, beets, brussel sprouts, cantaloupes, dates, dried apricots, dried prunes, dry roasted peanuts, figs, fresh pears, kiwis, lima beans, melons, nectarine, orange juice, oranges, prune juice, raisins, spinach, tomatoes, unsalted peanuts, and winter squash.

? Foods rich in fiber: almonds, apples, artichokes, black beans, breads, broccolis, brown rice, carrots, corn brans, lentils, oat bran muffins, oatmeals, peas, pecans, pistachio nuts, popcorn, raspberries, strawberries, sunflower seed kernels, sweet corns, turnip greens, and whole grains.

The fruits and veggies listed above are all great remedies that can fight away hypertension. You don?t have to consume each and every one of them though, but do so whenever you can because they?re really good for your health. Don?t forget to take precaution as well in case you?re allergic to some of them. If you?re unsure what exactly to consume, then seek your doctor?s advice.

2. Food Seasonings

Did you know that food seasonings and spices can do more than just add flavors to your meals? Often times we don?t realize that the typical food enhancers we consume are very beneficial. Common spices like garlic, ginger and onions actually have health advantages that can lower your blood pressure. You can either eat them raw or add them as flavoring to your meals. Other spices that are good for hypertensive people are black pepper, cayenne pepper, chives, curry powder, and oregano.

3. Dairy Products

Calcium-rich foods are also highly recommended in order to fight the consequences of high blood pressure. Milk and other dairy goods are generally beneficial to your health, but the most notable products you should consume are skim milk and low-fat yogurt. These two products show great potential in reducing the effects of hypertension, so be sure to include them in your high blood pressure home remedies.

4. Herbal Tea

Finally, another remedy that you can greatly benefit from is drinking herbal tea every day. Oolong, hibiscus, and green tea are the three major types that are known to control the effects of hypertension on the body. Studies show that even a single cup of herbal tea can reduce the risk of high blood pressure by over 50%, that?s why more and more people are adopting this remedy today because it?s effective. If you want to experience these health benefits yourself, make sure you consume at least one cup of tea daily.

So those are the four basic food solutions for hypertension. Now that you?re aware of the foods that are good for you, see to it that you add them in your dietary plans. With regular consumption of these amazing high blood pressure home remedies, you should be able to control the consequences of hypertension in no time.

Snakehead bounty: Maryland offers $200 gift card

Snakehead bounty: For every angler that catches and kills a snakehead fish in Maryland, the state is offering a $200 gift card "bounty" plus other incentives.

The second annual Maryland state bounty on snakeheads is sure to boost the media hype around this Asian invasive species.

Skip to next paragraph

Coming to a website near you: "Frankenfish" or "Fishzilla" or "The Fish That Ate Maryland."

Maybe that should be the next Maryland contest: Another Fearsome Nom de Mar for the Channidae family fish, that is believed to have originated in northern India some 50 million years ago.

No doubt, the concern over the snakehead species is justified. Already, the fish can found in at least eight US states. It's not just the fierce teeth, or that it can actually exist out of water, breathing air via a suprabranchial organ, for up to four days. The real threat is that it is a "top-level predator." In other words, it has no natural predators in the US.

The major concern is that it may replace the largemouth bass in Maryland and Virginia waters. In 2004, snakeheads were first spotted in the Potomac River. Since then, they've multiplied, and gotten bigger.

A study by Maryland's Department of Natural Resources and the state's Fish and Wildlife Department concluded that largemouth bass and snakeheads are battling it out for survival. The study found that the two species would eat each other's offspring, live in shallow water beneath protective lilies and grass and chase frog baits. The study also found that when snakehead populations declined, largemouth bass populations grew.

Last year, 69 fishermen entered the snakehead bounty contest, killing 82. Given that a single female snakehead can spawn 15,000 eggs at once, and typically mates five times a year, the contest isn't likely to put a huge dent in the snakehead population.

?We don?t expect that anglers will eradicate the snakehead population,? said Joe Love, DNR Tidal Bass program manager. ?We do believe this promotion and inspiration of anglers can help control the snakehead population. The information we gain from the Angler?s Log reports are also helpful in assessing the abundance, spread and impact of these feisty fish.?

This year's Maryland bounty includes a $200 gift card to Bass Pro Shops at Arundel Mills, a Maryland State Passport, which provides unlimited day-use entry for up to ten passengers in a vehicle, unlimited boat launching at State Park facilities and a 10 percent discount on State-operated concessions and boat rentals, or a Potomac River Fisheries Commission fishing license.The winner will be randomly drawn on November 30, 2012.

To enter, anglers must submit catch details and a photo of their dead snakehead online through the DNR Angler?s log, a fishing site.
