A new cell phone from China is now the loudest ever produced with the ability to blare out songs, ringtones and other media flies at an incredible 120bB.
Of course, to many of you the figure of 120dB doesn’t mean much so let’s put it in perpective. How can I put it? Well here is a scale to demonstrate how loud various levels on the decibel scale are.
Threshold of Hearing (TOH)
0 dB
Rustling Leaves
10 dB
Whisper
20 dB
Normal Conversation
60 dB
Busy Street Traffic
70 dB
Vacuum Cleaner
80 dB
Large Orchestra
98 dB
Walkman at Maximum Level
100 dB
Front Rows of Rock Concert
110 dB
Threshold of Pain
130 dB
Military Jet Takeoff
140 dB
Instant Perforation of Eardrum
160 dB
So this cell phone its just below the threshold of pain…nice.
Armed with a design including five speakers and “dynamic 3D sound” this cell phone, the Qkphone 911 is one mean machine. Naturally it comes fully equipped with all the usual applications that you might find on say, a Windows Moblie Smartph Read more:Chinese
Big Brother Housemates Hear Shouting From Beyond The Walls 2007-07-15 02:41:39
On Friday night Charley went through a Fake Eviction and when she returned to the House she told everyone how amazingly popular she was with the live audience.
Charley said “You lot, they like me so much. So much!” Charley boasted, “I think I’m gonna be here for a while.”
While Amanda, Brian, Chanelle, Gerry, and Sam were sunbathing in the garden on Saturday they heard someone shouting from beyond the walls of the B Brother
House.
What was it?
“Get Charley out?” whispered Gerry.
Charley was sleeping in the bedroom, well out of earshot.
“Get Charley out,” confirmed Carole.
“They’re shouting ‘Get Charley out,’” gasped Chanelle.
At this point Big Brother
instructed the housemates to go inside where they told Nicky and Tracey what they’d heard.
Eventually they all agreed to keep quite rather than risk upsetting Charley

Soaring Price of Uranium: Jeffrey Lee says no to $5 Billion 2007-07-15 01:58:41
With the prices of uranium soaring French energy giant Areva knows they need to find more sources for uranium and they thought it was their lucky day when they found 14,000 tonnes of uranium near the Kakadu National Park.
The land is owned by the sole member of the Djok clan and the senior custodian of the Koongarra uranium deposit (JEFFREY LEE), his father and grandfather were offered houses, cars and many other things for the land (they were not told about the uranium), although the 14,000 tonnes are worth more than $5 billion Mr. Lee is not interested.
Jeffrey
Lee controls the fate of Koongarra and said “This is my country. Look, its beautiful and I fear somebody will disturb it,” as he waved is arm across a view of rocky land that is surrounded by Kakadu National Park.
The 36-year-old Jeffrey Lee has decided never to allow the land to be mined and as money does not mean a thing to him that looks the way it’s going to be.

User Review Rachel Edwards: the latest Harry Potter movie deserves a 5/10 2007-07-15 01:26:00
This comment was left on the post we did “HarryPotter
and the Order of the Phoenix Reviews and Ratings” and we thought we should feature RachelEdwards
comment as a post.
Comment from Rachel Edwards:
Okay, all in all, the latest Potter movie
deserves a 5/10.
Wait before you start bitching about why it should be rated as such.
The parts in the movie that the did show from the book, were exceptionally well done for the most part. However, again, things just seemed to speed along waaay to quickly. It’s almost as though the director and script writers try to see just how fast they can move the storyplot along this time, almost as a contest.
The Harry/Sirius bonding moments, while what they did show were good, they were also drastically cut back on. If you read the book and view the movie, and you know how much more bonding there was between the two of them through out Harry’s fifth year, you would’ve been HIGHLY dissapointed in the movie as a whole to begin with.

This turnable drum was made in Italy and allows children to learn sound variations by tuning the durable plastic rims to different pitches using inset lugs.
This drum comes complete with one pair of wooden felt-tipped mallets for softer tones and one pair of plastic rubber-tipped mallets for sharper tones, all of which fit snugly into the non-toxic lamellar varnished Birchwood frame that stands upright like a true concert bass drum stand.
This drum is recommended for children over the age of 3 years old

Big Brother: Charley’s FAKE Eviction 2007-07-14 09:21:05
Last night saw Charley
go through the fake eviction process.
Charley emerged from the House to a silent crowd bearing banners with the words ‘we are a fake audience’. She was dressed in her skimpy pyjamas because big brother had taken hers and Nicky’s suit cases away from them.
Charley was then led in silence by Davina in to the studio for her FAKE interview.
During the interview Charley saw who nominated her and venting her spleen about her fellow housemates - without knowing that her housemates were hearing every word - Davina dropped the FAKE week bombshell.
Davina told a gob smacked Charley that “This week has been FAKE week and this has been a FAKE eviction”
“Meaning?” Charley asked nervously.
“You are still a housemate.”
“In that House?!” Charley snapped Charley-style. “You want me to go in there when they have all been horrible.”
Davina asked “Charley do you want to go back in the House?” Read more:Big Brother

Victoria Beckham
has arrived in America
and she is doing the rounds to make sure everyone knows that she has arrived.
Victoria has spoke to Ryan Seacrest on his radio show live from Carson California, where her husband David Beckham was officially introduced as a Galaxy player.
Victoria spoke about the big welcome that her and David received at LAX.
Victoria said that “It was incredible we know that people kind of have an idea of who we are here in America, we weren’t expecting anything like that. Victoria mentioned that the paps were very kind and they were all cheering…Welcome to America…it was a fantastic welcoming.”
When Ryan asked her about her stay in America, Victoria said that David’s contract will end in 5 years.
But she said that she loves this country and believes it’s a great place to raise her kids and might think twice about moving back to Europe.
Do you think that now Victoria is in America she will still get as much attention that she did in the UK?

The Galaxy coach Frank Yallop said: “We’re getting a great person, a winner on and off the field.”
David arrived wearing a grey suit with a silver tie. He came out and showed the crowd his new jersey and turned it around to show off his number 23 in the back and all the fans cheered. Looks like his fan club has just got bigger!
David said that “It’s nice to see so many fans, and I thank you for that,” “I have always looked for challenges in my life. My family has moved to Los Angeles and this is something we are proud of.

Is this the right move for the Beckhams?

Yes Man starring Jim Carrey will be directed by Peyton Reed 2007-07-13 09:03:39
The new film which we think will be out in 2009 (not too sure) will star Jim Carrey
, if that does not get you excited what about Mr Peyton Reed directing it now that has to make you like it. Jim Carrey is a top A list actor and with Reed directing it you know this film called ‘Yes Man’ will be very good. Peyton Reed has directed films such as Bring It On starring Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku plus he was involved in Back to the Future which was a major success starring Michael J Fox.
Yes Man is a comedy which is an adaptation of Danny Wallace’s memoir of which one day the man decided to change his depression to saying yes to everything that comes his way. The new film starring Carrey is as you know will be so far fetched but yet still funny as ever.

The cool looking robot dubbed Eurobot has at last passed the Weightless Environment
Test; this was announced by ESA (European Space Agency). Eurobot is a three armed robot that has similar strength to humans, the only downside is that Eurobot has jointed limbs in 7 places but and a big but makes the robot move a pivot in ways humans arms cannot. The test which is called the neutral buoyancy test was mainly meant to examine whether or not the robot could complete simple tasks like putting away tools and equipment, or holding objects for workers in a weightless situation and it did all of these easily. This means that this robot will be fantastic on space missions and do jobs that us humans would find difficult to do. GO THERE Eurobot YOU THE MAN ROBOT.

Vampire Rain Review for the Xbox 360 2007-07-13 07:31:29 Vampire
Rain opens with a nice cinematic piece depicting a woman walking alone at night and is constantly freaked out by the freaky eerie screams that break the silence. Her name is Emily, she’s blonde and she seeks solitude down a dark alley. She suddenly looks up to seek a Nightwalker bearing down on her, and at the end of a prolonged CGI we find out she was mauled by the Nightwalker and is now amongst the undead!
The hero of Vampire Rain is a guy called John Lloyd, an agent of the AIB (a bit like the MIB but for Vamps) he’s a skilled operative with an abundance of weapons at his disposal. Our hero can climb ladders and poles, slide along ropes, and leap, he’s an extremely versatile guy.
Vampire Rain is typically like your third person action shoot-em-up, hitting the X will bring up ready to use weapons (pistol’s sniper rifle and the like) Lloyd’s night vision goggles do come in handy though, allowing you to separate the good guys from the evil va Read more:Xbox
Is this the beginning of Star Trek Teleportation? 2007-07-13 07:23:37
We all know that Star Trek
can teleport individuals from one place to another and yes it is still a long way of, but and a big but it seems that we are on the road to success in making this reality. Ok not on the big scale of teleporting humans but an Australian team of physicists are at the moment working on a smaller scale of teleportation scheme for atoms, the team have developed a way of transporting atoms which involves bringing these atoms to almost absolute zero in where they beam two lasers and with using fiber optics to transport them at the speed of light where they enter a second condensate and this is where they reconstruct. The team have found this possible by cooling down a group of atoms of which they shoot lasers at them which in return makes them appear to disappear.
Is it at all possible to use the Star Trek teleportation device one day in the future?
