Smile and the world smiles with you

Happiness is contagious and spreads quickly between friends and family, say scientists. Happiness really does rub off on other people you know, according to one of the largest studies ever carried out. It shows happiness can spread through social groups and the closer you are to someone with a sunny disposition, the more likely you are to be happy as well.

This not only counts for partners and family, but when cheerful friends live closer it lifts your mood, say US researchers writing today in the British Medical Journal. Strangers can also benefit from the 'Pollyanna syndrome', it is claimed, so people who are surrounded by happy people are likely to become happy in the future. British experts claim the 'groundbreaking' study suggests people's health could also improve as a result as optimism is linked to a better immune system.

Honda quits Formula One?

Honda is pulling out of Formula One, blaming the world economic crisis for plans to sell its team. The decision leaves Englishman Jenson Button and 2009 team-mate Rubens Barrichello without drives, with only a few mid-ranking seats still available.

Honda, which spent more than £300m a year on F1, said it would also no longer supply the sport with engines. The team say they are optimistic they will find a buyer who will enable them to continue in the sport.

The first ever spacewalking teddy bears

These teddy bears drifting nearly 20 miles above Earth have become the first soft toys to take part in extra-vehicular activity (to use correct NASA jargon) at such an altitude. The soft toys MAT and KMS were named after the first initials of the pupils who helped make their space suits. After rising to an altitude of around 100,000ft, a webcam caught their 'space-walk' for posterity before the helium balloon burst.

The aim of the experiment was to monitor weather conditions in the stratosphere and determine which materials provide the best insulation against the freezing temperatures experienced on the flight.

Taiwan will give each of its 23 million people shopping coupons worth more than $100 in a bid to stimulate a flagging economy, the island's premier said Tuesday.

The Asus P565 does indeed have some impressive specs with an 800MHz Marvell processor. That should give the Windows Mobile OS-based smartphone ample power to multitask a number of Microsoft Mobile Office apps at the same time. The 2.8-inch 480 x 640 touchscreen is a decent size for navigating the Glide (iPhone-like) touch interface, which runs Windows Mobile 6.1 OS.

Webmail service using live snails

Yes, that's right they're not called real snail mail for nothing. The moment you click 'send' your message travels at the speed of light to their server where it awaits collection by a real live snail.

Their snails are equipped with a miniaturised electronic circuit and antenna, enabling them to be assigned messages. Your message is collected from a despatch centre at one end of their enclosure. Once associated with the tiny electronic chip on the snail's shell your message will be carried around until the snail chances by the drop off point. Here more hardware collects your message and forwards it to its final destination.
