The new (really!!!) Sony Erricson W960I!
Well hello people! It has been long since we have posted as the exams are coming...
In this post, the reason i put the "(really!!!)" thing is becouse this phone is soooo new that it is not even available in the market yet!!!
What makes this phone so different from the other models? The main thing is that it actually has a whopping amount of memory... 8GB!!!!! (that's ALOT compared to other phones!) with this 8GB memory, you can actually store up to 8000 of your favourite songs!!! It lets you manage your music with the 3 normal buttons... rewind, play and fast forward... but the three buttons are not really buttons, but it is actually in the screen, which means that that part of the phone is actually a touch screen!!! (WOAH!)whats more is that its screen can be compared to a tv screen! (the clearness)
to add to the excitement, it still has the basic features of old phones like camerer, web, and video calls! oh ya, did i mention that it is also 3G enabled?
I can't wait for this phone to be released into the market!Its sooo perfect!
Thats all folks, about the amazing Sony Erricson W960i!!!

The creative Zen Vision: m!!!
you might be thinking that i am trying to say that the mp3 is creative but you are wrong!!!(altough it is rather creative!) the company who created this mp3 is creative! i mean the name IS creative. or should i say the company's name is "creative". now that i explained the name, its time to explain the company...
Creative Technology Limited is a listed manufacturer of computer multimedia products based in Singapore, where it was founded by Sim Wong Hoo on July 1, 1981. The firm employs more than 5,000 people worldwide. Sim is the CEO and chairman of the company. The company's U.S. subsidiary is known as Creative Labs, Inc., a name commonly but incorrectly used to refer to the entire company.
Historically, Creative was most famous for their Sound Blaster line of audio cards. Now they are known for their line of portable multimedia players
The ZEN Vision:M was launched in December 2005. Like the earlier released ZEN Vision, the Vision:M shares the same interface and features in a smaller package. It supports audio playback, including audiobooks from Audible.com (as of version 1.41.01 of the firmware), video playback (DivX, AVI, Xvid, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 SP, WMV9 and MJPEG), image display in JPEG (BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF are supported through conversion.), FM radio (recordable in the 30GB version only), and a built-in microphone. Videos and photos can be viewed on television at a resolution of 640x480 (VGA) through a cable sold separately. The 2.5-inch, TFT-LCD display has a resolution of 320x240 (QVGA). The player has an estimated battery life of 16 hours for audio, and five hours for videos (tested under continuous playback). Album art is shown during playback, and image-viewing is enhanced with pan, zoom and rotation abilities. The ZEN Vision:M is priced at US$249.99 or US$299.99, depending on the size. The 30GB model is available in white, black, green, blue and pink. Like the other players in the Vision and Micro lines, this model is known for its glowing button symbols.
The ZEN Vision:M has won a number of accolades, including the Best of Show and Best Portable Audio & Video Device awards at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show, as well as the Red Dot Design Award.

The nissan silvia S15!!!
Japan saw a new version of the Silvia (S15) in 1999, now boasting 250 hp (184 kW) from its SR20DET engine, thanks to a slight turbocharger upgrade, as well as improved engine management. The SR20DE (non-turbo motor) featured only 165 hp (121 kW).
The S15 Silvia included aggressive styling inside and out; upgrades to the chassis and suspension, including increased use of light alloy suspension components; and for the first time, a six-speed manual transmission (in addition to a 5-speed manual transmission and a four-speed automatic). Also for the first time, instead of a viscous limited slip differential, the S15 offered a more effective helical limited slip unit.
For the S15 Silvia, the model lineup was initially simplified to just the Spec-S (non-turbo) and Spec-R (turbo), both models offering an "Aero" variant with a large rear wing and mild ground effects. The Spec-R featured the available 6-speed manual transmission, increased body and suspension rigidity, 4-piston front brake calipers, a larger brake power booster, the upgraded helical limited slip differential, and HICAS (High Capacity Active Steering) four wheel steering as an option; the Spec-S featured only a 5-speed manual transmission (in addition to a 4-speed automatic available on both the Spec-S and the Spec-R), lacks the additional support structures of the Spec-R, 2-piston front brake calipers, a slightly smaller brake power booster, and the viscous limited slip differential.
Heres where i end this post... BB =)

Have you ever wondered why the leaning tower of Pisa can stand leaning even after such a long time? Well, the answer to that is all in this post...
The Leaning tower Of Pisa
The Tower of Pisa was a work of art, performed in three stages over a period of about 174 years. Construction of the first floor of the white marble campanile began on August 9, 1173, a period of military success and prosperity. This first floor is surrounded by pillars with classical capitals, leaning against blind arches.
The tower began to sink after construction progressed to the third floor. In an effort to compensate for the tilt, the engineers built higher floors with one side taller than the other. This made the tower begin to lean in the other direction. Because of this, the tower is actually curved.(Great design by the engineers that prevented the tower from actually falling!!!) *clap clap clap*
If you straighten the tower, it would probably be slightly leaning to the other side!!! XD
After a phase (1990-2001) of structural strengthening, the tower is currently undergoing gradual surface restoration, in order to repair visual damage, mostly corrosion and blackening. These are particularly strong due to the tower's age and to its particular conditions with respect to wind and rain.
Hope this post answers your question!!! Take care!!!
