PEOPLE TRACKER: New Google Aplication Can Monitor User Location

The new software to be released Wednesday will enable people with mobile phones and other wireless devices to automatically share their whereabouts with family and friends.

The feature, dubbed "Latitude," expands upon a tool introduced in 2007 to allow mobile phone users to check their own location on a Google map with the press of a button.

"This adds a social flavor to Google maps and makes it more fun," said Steve Lee, a Google product manager.

It could also raise privacy concerns, but Google is doing its best to avoid a backlash by requiring each user to manually turn on the tracking software and making it easy to turn off or limit access to the service.

A Poem

This poem was nominated poem of 2005.
Written by an African kid, amazing thought :
"When I born, I Black, When I grow up, I Black,

When I go in Sun, I Black, When I scared, I Black,

When I sick, I Black, And when I die, I still black...

And you White fellow,

When you born, you pink, When you grow up, you White,

When you go in Sun, you Red, When you cold, you blue,

When you scared, you yellow, When you sick, you Green,

And when you die, you Gray...

And you call me colored???.. ......."
Thank to Mr.Khademzadeh

Deep freeze makes Quebec feel like High Arctic

Quebecers are experiencing temperatures colder than those at the North Pole on Wednesday, according to meteorologists who are tracking a dome of frigid air that has settled over the province.

The coldest spot in the province Wednesday morning was La Grande-4 Hydro-Québec generating station east of James Bay, which registered a temperature of –45 C.

"The coldest dome over Canada right now is over northern Quebec," said Pascal Yakovakis, meteorologist with Radio-Canada.

"We can say the meteorological North Pole has moved over Quebec. It's actually colder in northern Quebec than the North Pole."

The average winter temperature for the North Pole is –34 C.
