This Airplane Has a Bloody Balcony






Avro Business Jet Explorer One is the first airplane with a balcony in history. Its creators—BAE and Design Q—say that the "Air Deck" is a first in aviation history. True. It's also the most stupid invention in aviation history. (No offense but if you got money to spend on an airplane you will not mind paying to stay in the best hotel in town.)

What the company said about the airplane is exactly this: "The ‘Air Deck' transforms the rear of the aircraft into the ultimate living space, providing an elevated outdoor viewing deck combined with a luxurious indoor space incorporating a state-of-the-art entertainment system and vast open plan galley."

What they probably meant: This will transform your private jet into a flying luxury caravan. Your stupid. And yes, there's no question that it looks pretty and spacious, but why would anyone like a private jet with a deck? To have nice views of the runways and the airport before taking off? To be able to sniff the kerosene instead of the complimentary flight blow? Because you can't land this thing in the middle of a mountain. You have to land this on an airport, even if it's a runway in the middle of the African plains.

Finally we can say that if the Avro Business Jet Explorer One was able to land vertically, then it would be perfect. But this way, unless you plan to drive your plane from the airport to the caravan camping, it's Pointless. And sorry if you bought own last Sunday and I just offended you, not may intention at all.

This Is Apple's Next iPhone






Before giving the good news I would like to explain some details on how the new iphone 4G was found and how we can be sure that it really is the new iphone. Well the first fact is that Apple's engineer Gray Powell was celebrating his birthday at a German bar in California, and th iphone dropped from his pocket. A young man found it and asked the people around if any of them lost an iphone. (This clearly seems strange as the iphone is totally different, however there is an explanation for this, apple had the new iphone inside a fake iphone 3gs cover and with this the person who found it thought it was actualy a 3GS.) The person that found it mentioned that he even played with the device for some time and gave the bar his phone number if someone called for the device. In the morning he went to the phone in order to see if someone called however the phone did not turn on. After trying to get it back to work he noticed that the 3GS cover opened and revealed a totally new device. The first thing he did was to call apple and tell them that they lost a prototype iphone, but the attendants thought it was a joke and gave him a protocol number which he never heard about again. Finally gizmodo contacted him and bought the phone for 5,000 dollars (which I find to be a very small amount when talking about the new generation iphone). After tarring it apart they found it to be very similar to the iphone 3GS which made them think they had the iphone 4G in hands. The last factor that proves that I am not retelling a story in order for the Gizmodo to make money is that Apple sent them a letter in order to obtain the prototype back. With this there is no doubt that they really had the iphone 4G in hand. Now there are two questions that I can't answer that are: What happened to the iphone? and Is Apple going to change the design? (this would cost them a lot of money) Even though there is one question I can answer and that many people want to know. What is new in the iphone 4G?!

Here you have...

What's new
• Front-facing video chat camera
• Improved regular back-camera (the lens is quite noticeably larger than the iPhone 3GS)
• Camera flash
• Micro-SIM instead of standard SIM (like the iPad)
• Improved display. It's unclear if it's the 960x640 display thrown around before—it certainly looks like it, with the "Connect to iTunes" screen displaying much higher resolution than on a 3GS.
• What looks to be a secondary mic for noise cancellation, at the top, next to the headphone jack
• Split buttons for volume
• Power, mute, and volume buttons are all metallic
What's changed
• The back is entirely flat, made of either glass (more likely) or ceramic or shiny plastic in order for the cell signal to poke through. Tapping on the back makes a more hollow and higher pitched sound compared to tapping on the glass on the front/screen, but that could just be the orientation of components inside making for a different sound
• An aluminum border going completely around the outside
• Slightly smaller screen than the 3GS (but seemingly higher resolution)
• Everything is more squared off
• 3 grams heavier
• 16% Larger battery
• Internals components are shrunken, miniaturized and reduced to make room for the larger battery

iPhone ver. 4.0

Apple has unveiled its new iPhone ver. 4.0 operating system that the company is expected to include in an updated version of its popular smartphone sometime in mid-July.The new OS includes what Apple calls “seven tent poles” that are enhancements over the current operating system.

In demonstrating its new capabilities, Apple used Skype’s VoIP application as an example with the application running in the background.

Once a call came in, a pop up on the screen informed the user of the incoming call.
Two of the most significant updates included the injection of multitasking capabilities into the OS and Apple’s new iAd platform that will allow application developers to insert Apple-hosted advertisements into mobile apps.

For information on how to get the version 4.0 visit the following website

Xbox Achievements in Real-Life

Did you ever imagine the Xbox achievements in real life? Well the guys from college humor did and even created a video about how this experience would be. Before watching this video just close your eyes for an instance. What is your favorite game style? War, racing or even music games, this would create a different perception in life. The big question is rather the people would have another motive to do things or if they would not care. Well I see one example were some people I know would spend their whole day just hanging around trying to get more and more achievements. (Right Nicholas?) This could cause potential risk for humanity, it would be rather nasty if someone was trying to get the achievement (Bloody day - 50 kills in one day) or (Fast as light - 200 km/h in a car). Well if you wish to see a better image of how this would appear in real life watch the video listed in the link above.

5 of the Geekiest Chess Sets Ever



Well every single person in this universe (yes I do include any AI that may exist) has already played a game called chess. If you are good at it or not is another question, which leads me to think that very few people who are reading this post are actually good. The point of this blog is not how it is played or whether one is good or not, it’s all about how it looks. I personally am instigated to play chess when I see a beautiful board, specially when the pieces are made of crystals or acrylics. Even though I have seen many pretty boards I never saw one as these that follow. Some of them are not really nice looking however this is not a beauty competition and yes a how geek it is competition. Follow now the five most geek looking chess tables a human will ever see.

1. Motherboard



2. Glowing



3. Vacuum Tube



4. Mac × PC



5. LEGO

Creative Ways to Play Mario Bros Theme Song

The Super Mario Bros theme, also known as the Overworld theme, was produced by composer Koji Kondo in the 1980s. Before settling on the final version, Kondo scrapped many ideas if he felt the music didn't play in well with the action. Well after all he submitted the song and it became the success we all know today. Here are the videos of the five most creative ways I found on youtube of people playing the song. Not only creative however they sound pretty nice also.

The first video was the most creative and probably time taking of these all, but just look at these Japanese people it seems that they don't really have any other business to take care of so its fine.

The second video is a classic video found in youtube, Dual guitar. It's also quite challenging to do what that guy does.

String Bass is also a common video to find and sounds just fine.

Ocarina? Ever heard about this? Well I have, however never as an instrument to play Master Koji Kondo songs. Let’s take a look and see the outcome, at least a little something it must have to be in my top six chosen.

Stepper Motors are also instruments! Hmm seems uncommon however if you are reading this you are not looking for common things so here you have one of the most unusual instruments a human being could ever waste many hours creating and programming in order to obtain a couple of views in youtube and feel good about himself. (Sorry if I offended any one however that is the truth!)

VirtuSphere Offers Virtual Reality Gaming at GDC



Ever thought on playing a real life virtual game? Sound wrong, however its the future of gaming with the VirtualSphere. This human size hamster ball enables the player to walk around the game, and together with the controller (in this case the guns) and the goggles which enable the gamer to be placed inside the game. Well until now the only game available in the VirtuSphere are shooting games, though as technology goes I don't believe it will take long for other games to be creates.
The only real problem is the size of the Virtual game. One would really enjoy gaming in order to buy one of those, and not only this but also the salty price of fifty five thousand dollars.

Twitter flies past its 10 billionth tweet



I never saw a twitter page however I know it seems pretty big since every single person I know already spoke about it at least once. Why I never saw it? Well I initially had an orkut page, which was surpassed by facebook and as twitter arise I didn’t' have patience either for the orkut nor the facebook so I just chose one and use it until today. The reason why I am writting this today is very simple, Overnight, Twitter flew past the 10bn tweet milestone, according to the GigaTweet site, which tracks the microblogging service. It has taken more than three years to get there. However, Twitter's rapid growth means that the next 10bn should be knocked off in 203 days. Well it seems as twitter is really big today and that i should check it out, however I have something that doesn’t allow me and that is called IB. For those who don't know what IB stands for never try to figure it out it won't add anything to your life. After all it’s midnight and I am here doing things for IB. I am now waiting for the new 'Twitter' or 'Facebook' to arise and only then I will check it out.
The system is not hard to track, because Tweets are numbered. You can see tweet 9,999,999,999 by Rafaela Marques from Brazil, who may now get some unexpected attention. Sadly, you can't see the 10 billionth because it was from a user who protects his or her tweets.
