Wo, so many sex offenders in MySpace.
The operators of MySpace have identified and removed more than 29,000 registered sex offenders with profiles on the hugely popular website, according to the US authorities.
but, any one knows how much are still in MySpace?
The figure is more than four times higher than that announced by the social networking site earlier this year.
It has been obtained by the authorities in North Carolina, which demanded that MySpace provide data on how many registered sex offenders were using the site, as well as information about where they live.

Microsoft in ads deal with Digg.com
Do you like Microsoft?
Microsoft and news sharing site Digg have signed a three-year deal that will see the software giant manage advertising on Digg.com.
Have you even used digg.com?
The text-based Google advertising that currently appears on Digg is due to be replaced in the coming weeks.
Digg says it gets over 17 million unique monthly visitors.
How come thre are so many visitors?
In other news, Microsoft has also announced that its games advertising division Massive Inc has secured the contract for the display of adverts on some of the top games from publisher EA.
Any way, Microsoft and Google are facing each other directly.
The five games - mostly popular US sports titles - are Madden NFL 08, Nascar 08, NHL 08, skateboarding game Skate, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08.
At the time Microsoft bought Massive last year, the Wall Street Journal reported the deal was worth between $200m to $400m.
No financial details of the EA deal have been released.

Mobile phone masks do not ...
A major UK three-year study has indicated that mobile phone masks do not make you sick - they are not the cause of the symptoms of ill health claimed by some people.
Such symptoms as nausea, fatigue and anxiety may feel genuine, according to the Environmental Health Perspectives study, but they are not triggered by the masts.
Believe it not or...everyday there are new reports..
Mast Sanity, a campaign group, says the findings are unreliable because 12 participants in the trial dropped out due to ill health.
Numerous people during the trial blamed the masts for their symptoms when they were told they were turned on. However, dozens thought the mast was on when it was off and still felt the symptoms, while others felt well when they thought the masts were off.
The study indicates the problem is a psychological one.
Ha ha ..psychological..a word many people like to use to explain thing cant be proved.
Study leader, Elaine Fox, University of Essex, explained that belief is a powerful thing. "If you really believe something is going to do you some harm, it will."
Electro-sensitivity is believed by a number of individuals to be an allergy to such modern day appliances as mobile phone masts and hair driers.
A previous UK study, carried out by the HPA (Health Protection Agency) reported there was no evidence that showed an association between electrical equipment and ill health.
That study, however, did not examine the effects the waves from phone masts might have.
This latest study has done just that.
But..there will be many many reports saying ..not ...
chees..
Scientists studied a total of 44 participants, excluding the 12 who dropped out. All the 44 had reported symptoms. They were compared to a control group of 114 who had never complained of ill effects from phone masts.When both groups were told a signal was being emitted from the phone masts - both GSM and UMTS (3G), those who had reported symptoms said they did not feel well.However, when the trial was double-blind, the number of symptoms reported was completely random. In other words, when neither testers nor participants knew whether the masts were emitting or not, the participants' reports of feeling ill did not correspond at all with the masts' emissions or lack of emissions.5 people out of the control group of 114 guessed correctly when emissions were taking place, and 2 did the same from the group of 44. The researchers said this proportion is what is expected by chance.Even though it seems the 'sensitive' people reported symptoms at random, their symptoms were real - their blood pressure had risen and their perspiration had increased. Despite their symptoms not synchronizing with emitting phone masts, these physiological reactions did occur.

DNA .. the chemical secert
In living organisms, DNA does not usually exist as a single molecule, but instead as a tightly-associated pair of molecules.
These two long strands entwine like vines, in the shape of a double helix.
The nucleotide repeats contain both the segment of the backbone of the molecule, which holds the chain together, and a base, which interacts with the other DNA strand in the helix.
In general, a base linked to a sugar is called a nucleoside and a base linked to a sugar and one or more phosphate groups is called a nucleotide.
If multiple nucleotides are linked together, as in DNA, this polymer is referred to as a polynucleotide.
The backbone of the DNA strand is made from alternating phosphate and sugar residues.[8] The sugar in DNA is 2-deoxyribose, which is a pentose (five carbon) sugar.
The sugars are joined together by phosphate groups that form phosphodiester bonds between the third and fifth carbon atoms of adjacent sugar rings.
These asymmetric bonds mean a strand of DNA has a direction.
In a double helix the direction of the nucleotides in one strand is opposite to their direction in the other strand. This arrangement of DNA strands is called antiparallel.
The asymmetric ends of a strand of DNA bases are referred to as the 5 (five prime) and 3 (three prime) ends. One of the major differences between DNA and RNA is the sugar, with 2-deoxyribose being replaced by the alternative pentose sugar ribose in RNA.
The DNA double helix is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between the bases attached to the two strands. The four bases found in DNA are adenine (abbreviated A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).
These four bases are shown below and are attached to the sugar/phosphate to form the complete nucleotide, as shown for adenosine monophosphate.
