Power Supply Efficiency in Active Mode: "Power supplies are one of the crucial building blocks of a modern society, converting high-voltage alternating current (AC) into low-voltage direct current (DC) for use by the electronic circuits in office equipment, telecommunications, and consumer electronics. Over 2.5 billion AC/DC power supplies are currently in use in the United States alone. About 6 to 10 billion are in use worldwide.
While the best power supplies are more than 90% efficient, some are only 20 to 40% efficient, wasting the majority of the electricity that passes through them. As a result, today's power supplies consume at least 2% of all U.S. electricity production. More efficient power supply designs could cut that usage in half, saving nearly $3 billion and about 24 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year."

PC Sympathy - VX2.betterinternet and Bundleware Infestations on the Rise: "Over the past month, I have seen an increase in infestations by a group called Bundleware.com which with the signature of Ad-aware calling it VX2.BetterInternet objects. Until last night, I believed it was wrong to label Bundelware with the VX2 Transponder signature as their methods were different from what I could see. Not so now however!
After running tests on one of their programs called SpyBan from SpyBan.net I now see why so much of the Better Internet Win32 BI Application and Bi Transponder variants show up with object comments pointing to Bundleware, Look2Me, and SimilarSingles. It is because that at the time of installing any software from that belongs to Nictech Networks, the first thing it does is access the Internet at the time of install and install one of the cab files directly from abetterinternet.com."

Welcome to NNFA - Products and Services Science and Quality Assurance: "Huperzine A is an alkaloid isolated from a Chinese herbal medicine prepared from the moss Huperzia serrata. It is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (1B). The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is destroyed by this enzyme. Since acetylcholine production in the brain is reduced in Alzheimer's disease, inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase have been found useful in treating this disorder. Huperzine A has been tested in small clinical trials in China and improved memory, cognition and behavior in a majority of patients (2A, 3A). No severe adverse effects were found."
