ART GUYS MAKE HIS OWN IPAD

chinese-art-student-builds-home-made-ipad-for-his-girlfriend.

What’s the best way to show a girl you love her? Sure, you could always buy her an iPad, but why not build her one?

Chinese art student, Wei Xinlong wanted to show his commitment to his long distance girlfriend by building her a touchscreen tablet PC for their daily video chat dates. This way when he leaves for Shenzhen to work, they’ll be able to keep in touch easier.

As a student in Northeas Normal University in Changchun, Jilin, Wei was familiar with electronics and engineering and found most answers to questions he had online. He bought most of the parts of the device in second-hand market and salvaged them from dismantled laptops. He even built some of the parts himself, such as a heat conductor made from an aluminum soda can and a chopstick. Wei dedicated himself to the device for 10 days before it was completed, and even managed to place an Apple logo with rhinestones on it.

The features on his “iPad” include a touchscreen, built in webcam, a microphone, four USB slots, LAN socket and runs on a lithium battery. It may be a step down from Apple’s top-selling product, but it still can read e-books, watch movies, listen to music and even play video games. And it only cost Wei 800 yuan ($126) to build compared to Apple’s iPad price of around $500.

Wei’s remarkable final product is truly a representation of his hard work and dedication. It will certainly reinforce his long-distance relationship as well as put boyfriends around the world to shame.

SAN BOLDO PASS:

The San Boldo Pass is a small mountain pass in the Italian Veneto region between the towns Trichiana (329 m) and Tovena in the Cison di Valmarino region (272 m) over a distance of 17 km (11 mi).

MAMMATUS CLOUDS - AMAZING CLOUDS

Mammatus clouds, is a meteorological term applied to a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. These odd-shaped clouds are often associated with a storm front, especially one involving a thunderstorm. Mammatus clouds may appear as smooth, ragged or lumpy lobes and may be opaque or translucent.

BRAIN

Jell-O hooked up to an electroencephalograph (EEG) can display readings similar to human brain function.

The Jell-O can pick up misleading signals that prevent the acquisition of a proper flatline reading. These signals can be things such as electrical circuits in the room, an IV drip, or a phone ringing! 

"I'm A PC" Program by MICROSOFT

Microsofts "I'm a PC" Ads were created on a Mac!
This campaign was a response to the highly successful Apple campaign that featured Justin Long and John Hodgman that (favorably) compared Macs to PCs. However, in a struck of irony, clever internet users figured out that the campaign had actually been created in Macs!

What they did is they looked at the 'metadata' or information that is embedded in the media files. When they looked into this metadata, they found that the files had been created on Macs using Adobe Creative Suite 3.

The explanation is quite simple; advertising is still a Mac dominated industry, and it makes sense that whatever agency Microsoft employed would use Macs. However, that did not stop Microsoft from scrubbing all metadata from those files completely

HUMAN CHROMOSOMES

About 1 in 180 babies is born with a chromosome abnormality. The most common is Down syndrome, followed by Fragile-X syndrome. Collectively, the next most common are the syndromes of chromosome 18.

HUMAN SPERM

A mans testicles manufacture 10 million new sperm cells each day – enough that he could repopulate the entire planet in only 6 months!

The Millau Viaduct

Spanning almost 2.5km across the River Tarn in the South of France, the Millau Viaduct is set to become the world’s highest bridge. Designed by the architect Lord Norman Foster, the six-lane cable-stay bridge is 19m taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Supported by two anchorage points at either side and seven piers supporting the carriageway, the bridge will soar across the Tarn valley at a central height of 245m. The project has consumed 19,000 tons of concrete-reinforcing steel, 5,000 tons of reinforcing steel for cables and 85,000 cubic meters of concrete - enough to fill London’s Albert Hall.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT HALLEY'S COMET :-

1. Halley’s Comet is named after English astronomer Edmond Halley who first determined its period of orbit. It was the first comet to be recognized as having a periodic orbit.

2. It is known as a periodic comet (or short term comet) because the time it takes to orbit the Sun is less than 200 years.Halley’s Comet is the most well known comet.

3. Records of humans observing Halley’s Comet go back thousands of years, with appearances noted by Babylonian, Chinese and European star gazers.

4. It can be seen with the naked eye from Earth every 75 to 76 years. It last appeared in the inner Solar System in 1986 and will return again sometime in 2061

5. The tail and fuzzy glow you see around Halley’s Comet is known as a coma. The coma over Halley’s Comet can stretch up to 100,000 km across

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT MILKY WAY GALAXY :-

1. Most galaxies have a black hole at the center. Ours is no exception. The center of our galaxy is called SAGITTARIUS A, and it houses a black hole with a mass of 40,000 Suns that is 14 million miles across

2. Milky way galaxy contains of more than 200 billions stars.

3. Diameter of our galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years. The largest neighboring galaxy to Milky Way is Andromeda galaxy.

4. The oldest star in Milky way galaxy is 13.2 billion years old which is known as HE 1523. it is almost as old as the Universe itself.

5. The Milky Way belongs to group of barred spiral galaxies, which means that it is a spiral galaxy with a bar-shaped structure that consists of billions of stars.

SHOES

The plastic material on the end of shoelaces are called aglets.

NETSCAPE

Marc Andreessen founded Netscape. In 1993, he had already developed Mosaic, the first Web browser with a GUI.

LINUX

Exactly 17 years ago, on March 1994, Linux kernel version 1.0.0 was humbly released for the world to tinker with. To celebrate the historic moment, I have collected some really interesting facts about the Linux kernel. So if you are a Linux fan, grab a beer and read on.

A 21 year-old Finnish college student Linus Torvalds created the Linux kernel as a hobby.

Thousands of developers/programmers scattered all around the world are continuously contributing to the development of the Linux kernel.

The Linux kernel's official mascot is a penguin named Tux.

As of today, only 2% of the Linux kernel has been written by Linus Torvalds.

The Linux kernel is written in the version of the C programming language.

ANDROID OS:

The Android operating system consists of 12 million lines of code including 3 million lines of XML, 2.8 million lines of C, 2.1 million lines of Java, and 1.75 million lines of C++.

Noogler

A ‘Noogler’ is a new person at Google.ie if a new person joins Google,HE/SHE will be called as NOOGLER and you will be amazed to know that 37% of google crew are researchers....and 37% are sales staffs.

Helios:

Eelios was one of a pair of deep-space probes developed by the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) in a cooperative program with NASA.
NASA supplied the Titan/Centaur launch vehicle.
The spacecraft was equipped with two booms and a 32-m electric dipole.
The payload consisted of a fluxgate magnetometer; electric and magnetic wave experiments, which covered various bands in the frequency range 6 Hz to 3 MHz; charged particle experiments, which covered various energy ranges starting with solar wind thermal energies and extending to 1 GeV; a zodiacal light experiment; and a micrometeoroid experiment. The purpose of the mission was to make pioneering measurements of the interplanetary medium from the vicinity of the earth's orbit to 0.3 AU.
 The outer surface was coated with a conductive material, resulting in a plasma-sheath potential of typically 5 eV.
 The spacecraft was capable of being operated at bit rates of from 4096 to 8 bps, variable by factors of two. While the spacecraft was moving to perihelion, it was generally operated from 64 to 256 bps; near 0.3 AU, it was operated at higher bit rates..
