Nokia N-Gage: A true definition of fun!
Anyone remember this? I'm sure you do. this this the genesis of today's mobile games. However, it is sad and weird to know that Nokia officially said that this N-Gage is a failure. The sale maybe not that good. Well it makes sense. This is every kid's dream, only the slight problem is we don't have money to buy it at that time. Ouchh!
Confessions of an introvert
Introverts
It is one of the most famous personality stereotyping ever. If you are an introvert, you may like being in a quiet company, find it uncomfortable in noisy crowds or party, you don’t talk much and like to spend some time alone. Contrary to extrovert who found themselves enjoying such a big crowd or noisy party, prefer to go and hang out with friends, always looking energetic. The truth is, it a a wide spectrum, with extrovert and introvert on each end. It is hard to say whether a person is a true extrovert or introvert as you may be both or tend to slip in the other side of the spectrum. Since introverts are mostly misunderstood, we should look how they behave and act.

Highest Graveyard in the world.
Memorial Necropole Ecumenica which is situated in Brazil currently holds the record for the Highest Graveyard in the World. Local town Santos is notoriously crowded and this caused the local landed graveyard prices to increase.
So to solve that problem, this 14-storeys graveyard was built in 1983. It can hold up to 14000 dead bodies. Another building will be constructed for the purpose of becoming a graveyard. A new 40-stories Memorial Necropole Ecumenica which can hold up up to 25000 bodies. It is scheduled to finish by 2016.
I see dead people~~

Can you find Waldo? how 'bout a game?
Who's Wally?
"Where's Wally" or better known in the United States and Canada as "Where's Waldo?" is a series of children's books created by British illustrator Martin Handford. The books consist of a series of detailed double-page spread illustrations depicting dozens or more people doing a variety of amusing things at a given location.
Readers are challenged to find a character named Wally hidden in the group. Wally's distinctive red-and-white-striped shirt, bobble hat, and glasses make him slightly easier to recognise, but many illustrations contain "red herrings" involving deceptive use of red-and-white striped objects. Later entries in the long-running book series added other targets for readers to find in each illustration.
Well, can you find him? Let's have a little game..

Unbelievable animal cruelty in China !
Unbelievable!
Chinese street vendors are selling live animals, permanently sealed in a small plastic pouch where they can survive for a short while as someone’s conversation piece. Apparently, these unimaginably inhumane keyrings are actually quite popular — and worst of all, totally legal, too! These keyring accessories containing alive animals are widely available and sold publicly in subway stations and on sidewalks.

NOOOOO !!.... Comet ISON is now pronounced dead....
Comet ISON is dead !!
It is one of the most highly anticipated astronomical event in 2014. Some say this comet will burns brighter than our moon.Now, this hope has now has evaporated as the comet did not make it around the sun.
ISON, once claimed as the "comet of the century" is barely a year old when it's encounter with the sun brings to it's untimely death. Naval Research Lab astronomer Karl Battams, who headed the observing campaign for the comet, said ISON was stretched and pulled by the sun's powerful gravity. It was also hit with solar radiation. And the icy snowball just fell apart.
Had ISON survived it would have provided good naked-eye viewing in early December for the Northern Hemisphere, astronomers said. NASA had aimed several telescopes and spacecraft at the comet to watch its close brush with the sun, only to find it missing after the encounter.

inFORM 3D: technology of the future ?
It looks like it comes straight out of a sci-fi movie. Imagine Captain Kirk using it from the USS Enterprise. Well, the thing is this device is a reality.
inFORM Dynamc Shape was designed by MIT's Tangible Media Group allows users to manipulate objects remotely. This technology was made possible since the introduction of Kinect in 2010. Certainly this device could shape the things up in the future.
Whatt !?? Kid acquitted of jail because he's wealthy
Ethan Couch, a 16-year-old avoided spending time in prison for killing four people in a car accident in June after the judge bought his lawyers' argument that he was the victim of wealth.
Psychologist G. Dick Miller testified for the defense that Couch suffered from "affluenza," a condition in which "his family felt that wealth bought privilege and there was no rational link between behavior and consequences,"

R.I.P photoshop ..

Why dont we build this? Thorium-powered car
A company had created a car that runs on thorium which can lasts for 100 years with just 8 grams of fuel. The company. Laser Power Systems created a concept car which propelled by thorium=powered engine.
Even though the element is radioactive, the radiation can be blocked by using just a thin layer of aluminium foil. This low radiation is relatively a lot less compared to normal x-ray machine.
Thorium is one of the most dense materials ver existed on earth.It has 20 million times more energy than coal.
However, there would be some time before any car makers company would take this innovation seriously as they are focusing on making fuel-powered engine for the market.

Anti gravity device ??
Researchers in MIT have introduced their latest inventions, Anti-Gravity Ball. It is technically not "anti-gravity" as it does not remove the effect of gravity but by counter-act the force of gravity using electromagnet force. This kind of stuff you only see on TV now can be a reality. This invention now leads many people talking about its potentials and possibilities.
This device known as ZeroN does not only suspend the steel ball in the middle of the air, but it can remember its movements and can be manipulated. fancy one?
