Okay, I found something interesting here. Arso Banjeglav, a man in Serbia had a dying wish to be buried him with his mobile phone. To fulfill the wish, his family had buried him with his mobile phone. Soon after they discovered that they had forgotten to put on his SIM card. And so they dug the coffin up and put the SIM card in.

“We put the phone in the coffin as he wanted, but my 10-year-old son had been playing with it and had taken the card out without my knowledge. So now we have got to dig him up again to put it in the phone,” said Brano.

Oh My Gosh...this is funny.I got more visitors from United State that my own country or other Asia country.

Psst, want to lose some weight? Turns out your mom’s right: eat breakfast.

University of Minnesota scientists did the 5-year study of more than 2,000 youngsters and found those who skipped breakfast weigh about 5 lb. (2.3 kg) more than those who ate "the most important meal of the day." What’s more interesting is that the breakfast-eaters actually consumed more calories on a daily basis.

"It may seem counter-intuitive," said Mark Pereira, who led the research. "But while they ate more calories, they did more to burn those off, and that may be because those who ate breakfast did not feel so lethargic.

"They skip breakfast because they worry about weight gain - and it’s ironic that the ones who aren’t worried and eat in the mornings are the ones who keep their weight down."

Dogs are trained to sniff out pirated DVDs in Malaysia. According to Malaysia’s Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, these two male Labradors from Nothern Ireland named Paddy and Manny are trained to smell chemicals used in DVD production and will become the world’s first permanent canine national anti-piracy unit when they go into action next month. Of course the dogs can’t tell between original and pirated DVDs, what they do is to help the officers to find the hidden caches of discs. The dogs were expected to be on duty in this coming April. So, better stop selling or buying the pirated DVDs before they smell you.

If you've ever seen any Japanese porn at all, you know that the good stuff is usually censored. The man in charge of censoring these hairy body parts, Katsumi Ono, the chief censor of Nihon Ethics of Video Association - i.e., the person who adds all those annoying pixels to Japanese porn movies - has been arrested by the government, and not apparently for ruining a generation's worth of good porn, but because he wasn't blocking enough of the good stuff and allowed 13,000 copies of movies into the marketplace that weren't completely mosaicked. The "two DVDs in question did not sufficiently hide the on-screen action," which means these are the best two movies to come out of Japan in our lifetime.

Scientists at Britannia Royal Navy College are working on a plan to use metamaterials to create the ultimate stealth vessel. Unlike natural materials, which refract light to the right of the incident beam, metamaterials are “left handed”, refracting light at a negative angle, to the left of the incident beam. This allows scientists to “bend” light around the object, allowing the beams to continue as if the object were not there, which provide a way to make a ship invisible to both human observers and radar systems. Obviously the technology has definite military applications. I just hope the Predators don’t find out we stole their technology!

A Windows Mobile PocketPC Trojan that disables security, installs via a memory card, can't be uninstalled and makes itself your home page has been detected by both McAfee & US-CERT. Here's how it works according to researcher Jimmy Shah: WinCE/Info Jack sends the infected device's serial number, operating system and other information to the author of the Trojan. It also leaves the infected mobile device vulnerable by allowing silent installation of malware. The Trojan modifies the infected device's security setting to allow unsigned applications to be installed without a warning. The Trojan was packed inside a number of legitimate installation files and distributed widely. It has been distributed with Google Maps, applications for stock trading, and a collection of games.

The Trojan may take any or all of the following actions on the mobile device:

Spreads via seemingly legitimate application installation files

Installs as an autorun program on the memory card

Installs itself to the device when an infected memory card is inserted

Protects itself from deletion by copying itself back to disk

Replaces the browser's homepage

Allows unsigned applications to install without warning

Users are encourage to take the following preventative measures to help mitigate the security risks:

Install anti-virus software on the mobile device, and keep its virus signature files up-to-date.

Use caution when downloading and installing applications.

Paramount Pictures has released a new trailer for the Iron Man movie. The movie is set for release on 2nd May, 2008.

Cellphone makers like LG, Moto and Nokia are apparently laboring harder than ever over what we think about their phones (mostly not happy thoughts!). But guess what? Even with this newfound "concern" they still don't get it. Here's a couple of their ridiculous, out-of-touch ideas about how make us happy from a panel at MWC

• One panelist suggested that cellphone makers tap into consumers' "neural networks", while another said they should understand their subliminal needs.

I actually know what a neural network is. But WTF does it have to do with making a phone that's not crappy? This is all BS business-speak, and talking and thinking like that is why makers put out shitty, unintuitive phones. They should make a phone with how real people use phones in mind.

This "changed world" where "there is more relevance in what other consumers say than what the company is saying" isn't a bad thing, though the article implies that's how the handset makers feel. And as long as they feel that way, they'll keep trying to push crap into people's pockets.

Fans of green technology will undoubtedly be glad to hear that MSI has developed a working concept design that utilizes Stirling Engine Theory to power a motherboard fan. Instead of conventional electricity, the fan will harvest heat emanating from the processor to function.

This is the Italdesign Giugiaro’s Quaranta concept, powered by a mid-mounted hybrid powerplant (3.3L V6 + Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive) which produces 268hp and 212 ft-lb of torque, boosting from 0-60mph in 4.05- seconds. As you can see the roof are all black, that is the solar panel which power the interior electronics and charge the batteries. It has a pair of fuel tanks that carried 16 gallons of fuel which can be use to 621-mile range. More pictures after the break.
