Wow! A Jet That Runs On Biofuel 2008-02-26 02:42:55 I heard of a biofuel car many times, but was really surprised when I saw this post about a biofuel jet which made a successful test flight, on Washingtonpost .This Experiment was carried by Virgin Atlantic ( Sir Richard Branson's airline) in collaboration with their partner Boeing on a Boeing 747 jet which flew from London's Heathrow airport to Amsterdam's Schiphol airport. This flight was partially fueled with a biofuel mixture of coconut and babassu oil in one of its four main fuel tanks. The jet carried pilots and several technicians, but no passengers.Although the effectiveness of the biofuels in the battle against global warming is debatable , its a good experiment considering the growing oil prices.

It had been gathering global electronic intelligence data and protecting U.S classified information for over half a century. Only 3 percent of Americans were even aware it existed."These are the lines I remembered when i saw the above video about super computers of NSA (National Security Agency). This NSA is the same organization about which Dan Brown talks in his book “Digital Fortress”.In this book he also talks about NSA's secret machine which according him is the most expensive piece of computing equipment in the world ,capable of breaking any code in minutes.

Production of this car will be done in collaboration with Nissan and Renault.The car looks a bit similar to Mauthi's Zen Estillo and Tata Motors new Nano.The most interesting part is the placement of gear rod,it seems to have found a new positioning.The car has a really flat and bumb rear,except for the rear it a good looking one.With so many new cars in its segment, the Indian small car segment is really going places.

AOL which acquired Netscape in 1999 in a deal with an estimated cost of $4.2 billion announced that there will be no more active product support after 1st Feb 2008 for the browser which is currently in the version 9.For all those people who just can't do without Netscape AOL suggests to use FireFox with a Netscape theme.Albeit official support ceases you might find some support from forums like ,Netscape Community forum and : The following among others can be seen as the main reasons of AOL to discontinue Netscape:Market share of Netscape down to less than 1% ,the same browser in 1999 had a share of above 85%.AOL made two attempts to revive the market presence of Netscape in vain.Success of the non-profit Mozilla foundat Read more:Netscape
I-pod Touch 2007-12-16 12:29:24 techblues is not much into product reviews, but the when the Apple's concerned i just can't resist my carvings to talk about their products.Now, if you are wondering what's the product I'm talking about, its none other than the new I-POD Touch .This iphone like looking gorgeous i-pod comes with a 3.5" display and its a mere 8mm thick. Its available in 8GB and 16GB variants, as for the battery life, the touch is said to last 12 hours when playing audio and 5 hours when watching video. Among many positives the USP of the ipod-touch would be its multi touch interface( the same revolutionary technology that made iphone a hit), you should actually use it to get to know how good the interface is. Another nice feature is the built-in Wi-Fi and Safari browser in ipod-touch which lets you surf the

Saawariya music review 2007-10-03 12:06:18 Sanjay Leella Bansali who always had a music extravaganza in his earlier movies will not disappoint us this time around, the music was composed by Monty Sharma not a new name to the industry, he has done background score of Sanjay's earlier movies like the Devdas and black this music consists a total of 10 songs the first goes " Saawariya" i think every one had listened this as it is widely used in all the teasers of the film "fresh and young" as i call it and it has a reprise to it too which gives a contemporary look to the album next comes "maasah-allah "song which is a slow romantic number which is quite good too and then " thodde -badmash" this gives u a acute nostalgia of devdas( i mean songs of devdas). GOOD and then the " daras bina nahin chain" listening to the lyrics of the song w Read more:review
Mash - the sweet heart 2007-09-25 13:36:42 Yahoo has recently launched a new social networking site called MASH.This is another attempt by Yahoo to cash in on the social networking phenomenon.Reasons behind another social networking site by yahoo--Yahoo' unsuccesful attempt to buy Face Book for 1 billion $'s and-Yahoo 360- yahoo's first social networking attempt failing.-Stats saying the number of daily American visitors to My Space and Face Book more than the visitors to Yahoo and Google.I got a invitation to Mash last week. Well , here's what the Mash feels like.First thing that one would observe at the Mash is that it borrows its features from all the popular social networking sites like face book and My Space.These features set Mash apart from other social networking sites according to the Mash Blog:You can make starter profile

TVS Re-launches Flame With a Modified Engine 2008-03-10 14:09:15 Tvs motors co launched err re-launched their 125cc Flame with a modified engine. Tvs's new Flame will also have a engine based on Controlled Combustion Variable Timing Intelligent (CC-VTi) technology but with single spark unlike its predecessor which had a twin spark technology and got caught in a legal tussle with Bajaj over patent infringement . With the Madras high court orders to stop the manufacturing and selling Flame with the controversial engine Tvs had no choice but to come out with a alternative engine as soon as possible (although the legal battle is still on Tvs doesn't want to miss out in the all crucial 125cc executive segment).So here they are in less than just one mont Read more:Engine
