It had only been a fortnight since yahoo bid " good bye" to microsoft's offer to take up part of its share and signed agreement with google in which the latter was allowed to place google ads in yahoo's search results. Now, yahoo has highlighted its name in news once again. But this time, its not a tale of the partnerships. Yahoo has tripled the size of its free email services.
Giving its journey to regain its faded fame a better start, yahoo has announced introduction of "ymail.com" and "rocket-mail.com " as the yahoo mail addresses. By this step it intend to give its users to have better choices. John Kremer, the Yahoo Mail Vice president says that since they have many user IDs its is pretty crowded. " We want a remedy that will make sure users get the IDs they want". Yahoo's ymail is used for a version of email customised for mobile phones.

New robot penguin in town
After the successful concert of ASIMO, it seems that revealing robo-pets to the public
has grabbed the attention of the media. South Korean researchers have revealed a robot
penguin which can interact with humans..
Pomi(Penguin Robot for Multimodal interraction) has the senses of hearing, seeing and touching and can emit smells as well as make faces like humans. It can even move its lips,eyebrows and even dialate pupils to express its feelings.
Pomi is developed by the Electronics and Telecommunications Research institute(ETRI). Pomi is programmed to reply users using voice recognition technology. Even it shows a varied range of pulses with the aid of a heart box implanted on the chest. The institution plans to put pomi for commercial uses and the software which enables it to show human expressions will be made available in the market next month.
