Shoppers will no longer have to run from one shop to another to find the best bargains, for a new satnav device will help them shop faster.The new Wi-Fi device, developed by Javier Bajo at the University of Salamanca in Spain, maps out the fastest route to get all the shopping done, that too with best bargains.

The shoppers can feed in information about what they want to buy, the amount of money they have to spend, and the amount of time they have available.

The device uses radio frequency identification (RFID) to identify their location, and gives them information about related shops and offers.

It has been successfully tested in Tormes shopping mall in Salamanca.

“Most shop managers believe that the device has helped their businesses attract more customers and sell more,” New Scientist magazine quoted Bajo as saying.

For people, who want to just spend the afternoon at the mall, new device may give them suggestions like as films on at the cinema or coffee shops.

“You can ask the system for suggestions based on your specific interests, and it will suggest a route for you, including different activities,” he added.

The findings appear in Applied Soft Computing.

Japan’s largest consumer electronics company, Panasonic, plans to launch a tender offer for shares of Sanyo Electric with the hope of acquiring a majority stake in its smaller rival, it said Friday.The offer, which has been anticipated for several weeks, was finalized at board meetings of the two companies on Friday and could see Sanyo become a unit of Panasonic within the first quarter of 2009.

Panasonic sees several benefits in acquiring Sanyo. The company is the world’s biggest manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries and an innovator in green-energy products such as solar cells, which are both business areas Panasonic is keen to get into. Panasonic has a sizeable battery business and sees a combination of the two companies as key to growing in the emerging hybrid electric vehicle market and electric vehicle market. Panasonic also thinks it can grow Sanyo’s solar business.

The two companies are also linked in history. When Konosuke Matsushita started Matsushita Electric Devices Manufacturing Co., the forerunner to today’s Panasonic, in 1918 to make electric plug adapters for light sockets he took on a small number of staff including brother-in-law Toshio Iue. In 1947 Iue would go on to start Sanyo Electric. Today the two companies remain based in Osaka and their headquarters are only a short drive apart.

The acquisition, which is unusual in Japan’s conservative business world, has been the subject of discussions between Panasonic and Sanyo’s three biggest shareholders for the last few weeks.

Japanese financial groups Sumitomo Mitsui and Daiwa Securities and U.S.-based Goldman Sachs bought roughly ¥300 billion (US$3 billion) of preferred shares in Sanyo in March 2006 as part of the company’s restructuring efforts. Collectively the shares, if converted to common stock, would represent around 70 percent of Sanyo’s outstanding shares. The shares can however only be sold with Sanyo’s permission but that part of the contract will expire in March 2009 thus the pressure has been on to work out a deal before then.

Panasonic originally offered ¥120 per share but that was rejected by Goldman Sachs as too low, according to local press reports. Subsequent talks saw the price raised to ¥130 and again to ¥131 — the price at which the parties settled.

To pay for the acquisition Panasonic said it would offer up to ¥40 billion in bonds sometime after January 2009.

Archaeologists have discovered the ruins of an ancient city in Peru that they hope might finally answer questions about the fate of the Moche culture, which was best known for ceremonial sex acts and ritualistic human sacrifices depicted on its pottery.According to a report in The Times, the unearthed city is some 5km (three miles) long and has revealed what appears to be a gathering place for human sacrifices, a heap of human bones at the bottom of a cliff, ceramics, items of clothing and the well-preserved remains of a young woman.

Archaeologists hope that the ruins will provide the missing link between the Moche people, whose disappearance has long since puzzled historians, and the Wari, who later colonised parts of what is today Peru.

“The city provides the missing link because it explains how the Wari people allowed for the continuation of culture after the Moche,” said Cesar Soriano, chief archaeologist on the excavation project, 22km from the Pacific coast city of Chiclayo.

The Wari ruled the country now known as Peru from about AD600 until about AD1100.

But, it is the Moche who often inspire the greater fascination, largely because of their wildly exotic rituals and artefacts, such as their erotic ceramics, which depict ceremonial sexual encounters, performed in specially constructed temples in front of witnesses.

Moche ceramics also depict ceremonial human sacrifice and blood drinking, with victims being subjected to excoriation (skinning), decapitation and bloodletting.

It is thought that cannibalism probably also took place.

The reason for the Moche’s demise in the early 9th century - after flourishing for 700 years - remains a mystery.

Scholars believe that the various autonomous tribes which comprised the Moche (connected by a common elite culture) could have been ravaged by a super El Nino - perhaps 30 years of intense tropical downpours followed by another 30 years of drought - and then fallen victim to a protracted civil war.

So far, no evidence has emerged to show that the Wari invaded Moche settlements.

But, it is known that the Wari people, who first established themselves in the central Andes, far from the Moche on the Pacific coast, excelled at using military force to make territorial acquisitions and then to impose their culture on defeated populations.
