New York - Legendary pop-rock pioneers The Beatles are finally moving to the digital age.

The Fab Four have licensed their entire catalog of music to be used in a video game made by the companies behind the popular game Rock Band, in which players earn points for accompanying the band, it was announced Thursday.

The game will mark the first time that the Beatles have sanctioned the use of their music in new media. Their songs are not even available over iTunes. The deal was struck after 17 months of negotiation and was supported by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr as well as the widows of George Harrison and John Lennon.

Washington, Oct 30 : Chemists at the University of Warwick and the John Innes Centre have uncovered a new signalling molecule, which can unlock hundreds of new antibiotics from the DNA of the Streptomyces family of bacteria.

Researchers have already developed methods to find and exploit new pathways for antibiotic production in the genome of the Streptomyces family and many Streptomyces bacteria are being used industrially to produce current antibiotics.

It has long been believed that the relatively unstable butyrolactone compounds represented by "A-factor" were the only real signal for stimulating such pathways of possible antibiotic production

London, Oct 30 : In the pursuit to create a more ‘life-like’ robot, researchers have created a realistic robot head that can mimic human facial expressions, thus making communication more human-like.

Robotics engineers at the University of Bristol, UK, actually made a copycat robotic head, called Jules, which can mimic the facial expressions and lip movements of a human being.

Jules is an animatronic head produced by US roboticist David Hanson, New Scientist reports.

Honson builds uniquely expressive, disembodied heads with flexible rubber skin that is moved by 34 servo motors.

A video camera picks human face movements, and then maps them onto the tiny electronic motors in Jules'' skin.

World’s largest mobile handset maker Nokia has come up with its latest ‘N’ series model, N79 in the Indian market.

London, Oct 30 : Even though companies consider the use of social networking sites like Facebook and Bebo during work to be a waste of time, a new study has revealed that it can actually be beneficial for the company.

The research carried out by think tank Demos found that if an attempt was made to control the employees’ use of such websites, it could damage the firms in the long run by limiting the way staffs communicate.

The sites are said to be useful in encouraging employees to build relationships with colleagues across a firm, but it also comes with a warning where businesses are concerned.

The research found that firms are increasingly using networking software to share documents and collaborate in ideas.
