they can build a good database to use. Since its inception, scientists have come up with all sorts of creative applications for DNA barcoding in the commercial and academic world.

Now, Herbert oversees that repository, called Barcode of Life database, where the database of what different species'CO1 genes look like is kept.

Right now, there are 112,547 animal species in the database, and almost 43,000 plant, fungi and other types of organisms.

Researchers like Birck doesn't often run into problems finding what he needs in the database

many more samples need to be added to the database. Herbert and his group have enlisted biologists all over the world to incorporate barcoding into their fieldwork to keep the database growing.

The hope is that all collaborators will barcode five million specimens representing 500 000 species by 2015.

The more samples they have in the database the more scientists can hope to use the technique to barcode everything from a whole environment to a cup of seawater.

Zedeck says that they hope to also sell the new Kuza Doctor tool in conjunction with an Android phone for around $75.

That cost will include both the phone and the content for one year. Â Future updates to the app, Zedeck says,

#Verizon iphone: Eat this AT&T! Projected Release Date: Summer of 2011 Why not throw another Verizon iphone rumor into the quickly-growing pile?

The latest scuttlebutt comes from Fortune magazine, citing multiple sources that say the Verizon iphone will launch in early 2011.

It will reportedly be an iphone 4, running on Verizons CDMA network, and for U s. users there wont be any special chip for operating the phone outside the country.

If youve been following these rumors, chances are heard youve some of this stuff before. A few weeks ago, the Wall street journal reported that Apple will start mass-producing a Verizon iphone at the end of this year for an early 2011 launch.

The Journal tipped Taiwan-based Pegatron Technology Corp. as the manufacturer same as an earlier report from Digitimes.

That the Verizon phone will supposedly be an iphone 4nd not some newer modelas also a rumor in August by John Gruber,

who writes the Daring Fireball blog. Whats new this time? Not much in terms of details on the phone itself,

but the rumor comes wrapped in a lengthy profile of Verizon Chief executive Ivan Seidenberg. Both he and wireless chief Lowell Mcadam are quoted,

and theyre candid about the companys relations with Apple over the last few years. After Verizon turned down the original iphone,

Mcadam said he set out to mend relations with Apple in late 2007, once complaints about AT&TS network began to mount.

In a December 2009 meeting, Apple Chief executive Steve jobs praised Seidenberg for making good decisions. oei think he began to look at us as having a slightly bigger IQ

Seidenberg said. Fortune reports that the ipad, which Verizon Wireless began selling in its stores this week,

was the oefirst fruits of ongoing discussions between Verizon and Apple. A Verizon iphone would appear to be the next step.

The story describes the device as a oefait accompli. Apple has a reputation for secrecy and controlling leaks,

but the sheer volume of Verizon iphone reports, all telling the same story, suggest that its just a matter of time before Jobs announces the darned thing.

At this point, even Verizon can barely contain itself. More available at: Verizon Voyager Share Thissubscribedel. icio. usfacebookredditstumbleupontechnorati o

#Gray Market for Electronic Counterfeit Gadgets is Very Lucrative in China Fake iphones Apples iphone 4 is not officially for sale yet in China

The phones are smuggled from the United states and also from Hong kong, where both devices are officially on sale.

The smuggled iphone 4 sells in China for $800 to $1 700, depending on the storage size.

Chinese consumers need not fret there are plenty of fakes on the market, almost indistinguishable from the real thing, from the touch screen to the apps to the iconic silver logo on the back.

which loosely translates as oemountain Bandit Phones. China has raised long the ire of U s. trade officials for the countrys copycat culture and often cavalier attitude toward intellectual property rights.

BDA China, a Beijing-based business advisory firm, said illicit phones made up 38 percent of the handset sales in China in 2009.

The fake iphones special features include a removable battery and a place for two SIM cards, meaning the user can have two phone numbers ring for the same phone. oeyou almost cant tell the difference between this and the real thing,

said a vendor, nicknamed oehuzi, explaining that he has sold more than 4, 000 since the fakes came on the market a few months ago.

It even uses real iphone accessories, like the charger and the earphones. The only difference is the price about $100, with a little bargaining.

That may look like a Nokia, but its a oenckia. And if you think thats a real Sony Ericsson,
