A FARMER is eagerly hunting the chicken that laid the golden egg after one of her flock laid three huge ones in the space of a week. Sandra Palmer said the eggs weighing 109g were nearly twice the average weight and each one had three yolks. But the 60-year-old, who runs a smallholding with husband Tony in Cornwall, UK, has no idea yet which of her 150 Silver Link chickens laid the eggs. The three whoppers have not yet proved a moneyspinner they are too big to fit in an egg box and are instead being fed to their grandson. Blanchetts india movie put on hold A MOVIE which was set to lift the lid on the final days of Britains colonial rule of India, starring Cate Blanchett has been put on hold. Blanchett was cast as Lady Edna Mountbatten, wife of Lord Mountbatten, who oversaw Indias transition to independence in 1947, but the Universal Pictures project has been put on hold until financial conditions improve. Director Joe Wright who was also involved said there were concerns about the portrayal of the relationship between Blanchetts character and Jawaharlal Nehru, Indias first post-independence prime minister. Out of India: Blanchett Tiny dinosaur a roadrunner on steroids NOT all dinosaurs were colossal one has recently been discovered that stood just 19cm (4in) tall. Weighing less than 900g (2lb), the Fruitadens Haagarorum is the smallest meat-eating dinosaur to be discovered in North America. It was so tiny and fast that it probably darted between the legs of larger dinosaurs. It would have looked like a roadrunner on steroids, said Luis Chiappe, of the Dinosaur Institute at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum. He believes the creature lived during the late Jurassic period, about 150million years ago. The dinosaurs bones were discovered three decades ago in Colorado, but were kept at a museum until they could be identified. Little: Dino was 19cm tall Picture: AP Viagra e-mail joke was wrong... but porns okA COUNCIL that suspended 20 staff for sharing a joke e- mail about Viagra has been accused of hypocrisy after its leader was let off for having porn on his laptop. Cllr Stephen MacLoughlin was found out when he took his computer to be serviced and a stash of top shelf material was found on it. But after an inquiry, the father of two escaped disciplinary action after he told Bournemouth Borough Council in the UK that he would not do it again. The punishment is in stark contrast to that meted out to staff who circulated a joke e-mail earlier this year. They were suspended for up to two weeks for breaking the authoritys internet policy. Claire Smith, leader of the opposition Liberal Democrats, said: It is absolute double-standards and an example of why people get upset with their councils as it is one rule for staff and one for councillors. Dave Higgins, of the Unison union, said: If the council does have a policy over its internet use then those who breach it should be treated consistently. However, the council refused to be drawn into the row. It confirmed it had received assurances from MacLoughlin that the internet policy would be complied with in future. Little blue thrill: Viagra ads track eye MoveMeNts SOFTWARE that records shoppers eye movements to log what interests them as they browse may soon transform the consumer world. Vision mapping software from Bristol Universitys computer science department (Slam) and Applied Science Laboratories eye-tracking system Mobile Eye, created a hybrid technology called GazeMap, reminiscent of film Movie Report, which allows a viewers attention to be measured and analysed. BY ROSS McDONAGH WINDOWS: there are some who are concerned with glass thickness, light ratio and heat insulation. However, most of us only want to be able to open and close stuff. Today marks the launch of Micro- softs latest operating system Windows 7. It arrives less than three years after its predecessor,WindowsVista, which received a frosty reception because of its hardware heavy requirements. But the new version makes compu- ter use much more simpler. Analysts predict the launch of Win- dows 7 will boost sales of already in- creasingly popular netbooks; small, light and cheap laptops, which can run the new software as adeptly as their bigger cousins. Indeed, starting up a Windows 7 endowed netbook only takes a matter of seconds, as does shutting it down. One of the handiest new features is a search bar at the bottom of the Start menu, just tap in the first few letters of what you are looking for and up shell pop. Browsing the web is even simpler Web Slices give you the essential in- formation from pages without having to go look for them; Accelerators al- low you swift access to maps or trans- lations straight from the page; while the overhauled taskbar and internet tabs ensure you never get lost. If you ever do, you can simply grab the one window you want to keep and literally shake it and everything else will disappear. According to Ronald Dockery of Microsoft Ireland, much of the new software components were built here in Ireland. Ireland has played a key part in its development, he said. Mr Dockery said he was hugely proud of the part Ireland has played, thanks to its reliable knowledge base. index.html2.html3.html4.html5.html6.html7.html8.html9.html10.html11.html12.html13.html14.html15.html16.html17.html18.html19.html20.html21.html22.html23.html24.html25.html26.html27.html
