Democratic Republic of Congo plane crash

As many as 127 people were killed yesterday when an airliner crashed in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Boeing 727 came down around 820ft from Kisangani airport in the north east of the central African country, where it was due to land.

There were differing reports about the number of survivors. The airline earlier said 53 had died and 57 survived. But the transport ministry said the airline had underestimated the number of people on the plane and that 127 people had died and 57 survived. The regional commercial airline that operates the plane, Hewa Bora, is on a European Union blacklist. It and other Democratic Republic of Congo airlines are banned from flying into European airspace because of concerns about their safety records.

Stavros Papaioannou, the chairman and chief executive of Hewa Bora Airways, said the plane left the Congolese capital, Kinshasa, two and a half hours before the crash, just before 1pm yesterday. "I confirm the crash of one of our planes," he said. "The pilot tried to land but
apparently they didn't touch the runway."

Checking the space shuttle astronauts for damage

Atlantis astronauts will spend most of their first full day in orbit checking the space shuttle's delicate heat shield for any damage from Friday's launch.

Astronauts will use the shuttle's robot arm and an extension to slowly examine the most vulnerable parts of the shuttle's outer edges. In 2003, the space shuttle Columbia was destroyed when it returned to Earth because of damage during liftoff.

On Sunday, Atlantis will dock with the International Space Station to deliver more than four tons of supplies. The flight of Atlantis is the final space shuttle mission as NASA ends the 30-year program to pursue a new path in space exploration.

Facebook Video Calling vs. Google+ Hangout

The Google-Facebook rivalry has intensified in the last several days. Last week, Google announced the limited launch of its new Google+ social network, including a video chat feature called Hangouts. Then yesterday, Facebook launched its new Video Calling feature, powered by Skype. Clearly, social networking and video chat are now joined at the hip.
Which video chat service is better, and who should use which one? I put both Facebook Video Calling and Google+ Hangout through their paces and found that they both have their pros and cons.
Facebook's video chat is currently more stable, requires fewer system resources and has higher-quality video and audio. On the other hand, Google+ Hangout is a more fully featured application, clearly designed for group video chat. Those who have made it into Google+ may find it buggy, but in the long run, Hangout could prove to be more useful than Facebook's video feature.

Facebook Video Calling

Facebook's new Video Calling service is powered by Skype; perhaps because of that, it's simple and straightforward to use. You'll first need to download a plugin by going to www.facebook.com/videocalling, clicking on the Get Started button, then on the Setup button. At that point, you'll download and install a Java plugin.

You don't, however, necessarily need to head there first. When you receive or try to make your first video call, you'll be prompted to install the plugin. I found this out because when I tried going to www.facebook.com/videocalling on my MacBook Air, I received an error message. However, when I tried just clicking the video icon in Facebook chat to make a video call, the plugin installed with no problems.
Once you've got the plugin installed, making a video call is exceptionally easy. Look at the list of your friends (in the lower right-hand corner of your Facebook page) who are currently available on Facebook chat. Double-click a name, and you'll see there's a new icon at the top of the chat screen -- a small video camera. Click it to send an invitation for that person to participate in a video chat. They'll receive a pop-up notification to a video chat, and if they don't have the plugin installed, they'll be prompted to install it.
I found the video and sound quality of video calling in Facebook to be quite good -- there was little, if any, video lag and the sound came through crisp and clear with no delay. This shouldn't be a surprise; Skype has been around for a while, and so has had time to iron out any video or audio bugs.
Using video chat is simple and straightforward -- just look at the camera and talk. As with most chat apps, the video of the person with whom you're chatting takes up most of the screen, and you see a small thumbnail of your own video in a corner of the screen. You can move the video chat screen around your display and resize it as well. Ready to sign off? Just put your cursor anywhere in the video window, and a small labeled button will invite you to end the session.
