The European Space Agency (ESA), recently launched a playlist competition for 10 best songs that will be used in the ISS for the astronauts.

Her grand prize is a visit to the Kourou spaceport in French Guiana to see the launch next year of the ESA's Automated Transport Vehicle. The space vehicle will be delivering cargos for the astronauts living in the ISS. The songs will be loaded to an Apple iPod and will be sent to the ISS aboard the ATV.

Warren Buffet overtakes Bill Gates as richest man

Warren Buffet has overtaken Bill Gates as the richest man on earth, a position held by Gates for the last thirteen years. Buffet is now worth $62 billion against Gates' $58 billion. Even so, Gates dropped down to third as Mexican telecom tycoon, Carlos Slim Helu held the second spot with $60 billion.

Microsoft shares fell 15 percent between Jan. 31, the day before the company announced its bid for Yahoo.

Had Microsoft not made an unsolicited bid for Yahoo at the beginning of February, Gates perhaps would have caught Buffet on the same spot according to Forbes.
