Yabba Dabba doodle!

Google celebrates the 50th anniversary of Fred, Wilma, Barney, Betty and the rest of the Bedrock gang yesterday (Sept 30) by showing this cool Google doodle on its website.

All I can say is, Yabba Dabba doodle!

Shameful Ferrari

By lap 47, Ferrari had clearly decided to order Massa to move aside. His race engineer, Englishman Rob Smedley, broke the news in what the stewards interpreted in the only way they could, as code for 'let him pass'.

Smedley said slowly in his Middlesbrough drawl: 'OK, so, Fernando is faster than you.' On lap 48, he repeated: 'Fernando is faster than you. Can you confirm that you understand that message.' On lap 49, Massa slowed to a crawl and Alonso breezed by. He went on to win, narrowing his deficit behind Hamilton to 21 points. Massa, a year to the day after a stray spring fractured his skull, was second. Vettel, after that wasteful start, was third.

The mood on the Ferrari pit wall and in Alonso's hug with Massa was half-hearted. The press conference that followed was absurd. Both drivers insisted team orders had not been issued, which is all the ink we will give to their contemptible argument.

World Cup Fever sends Internet usage to record levels

There’s a fever running through the Internet today - World Cup Fever.

Today’s Web traffic has been classified as “Heavy” for the better part of the day, according to measurements by Akamai. At its peak, traffic for News sites globally started a steady climb about 6 am ET and peaked six hours later, at Noon ET, reaching nearly 12.1 million visitors per minute.

And even though the traffic dipped going into the afternoon, it stayed well above normal - registering some 6.5 million vpn, or 130 percent of normal - at 5 p.m. ET. The bulk of the demand in the last 24 hours has come from North America and Europe - but all regions are reporting “Heavy” usage.

The traffic suggests that the Internet was most active during the Mexico-South Africa game and stayed heavy through the France-Uruguay game. It’s also very likely that today being a workday had more people turning to their office computers to follow the action, instead of their TVs.

The day’s traffic far exceeded the previous record of 8.5 million vpm, which was set when Barack Obama won the U.S. presidential election.

Shell Helix Ultra Transparent Car

I'll have one please, thank you! [Mini E]

With a 0-62mph time of 8.5 seconds, 201bhp and peak torque of 162lb.ft. As the chinking of bottles from the milkman's float in the morning highlights, with electric motors the peak torque is delivered to the wheels immediately. Press the accelerator on the MINI E and the response is lightning fast, the acceleration instantaneous. There are no gears, just pop the 'gear' sector into drive, prod the accelerator and you're off. Quickly. It's hugely addictive and makes the MINI E feel more rapid than even its supercharged petrol relatives.

It's pretty silent too. There's a rush of wind noise and some whirring from the motors but other than that you're just pinned back in your seat as the MINI rockets down the road. That's doubly impressive when you consider that the MINI E weighs 1,465kg, or around 265kg more than its petrol equivalent. You feel that slightly in the firm ride and leaden steering, but otherwise it's all pure MINI.

MINI claims around 150 miles is possible on a charge, which - depending on the outlet rating - takes as long as ten hours.

Is the file safe to install?

How many times you ask yourself this question after downloading some cool files from the Internet?

I found this site recently, and it is relatively reliable. I tried with a few files myself, and I like what I see.

144PB of Storage

How much storage do we need?
How about 144PB (PetaBytes)? That's 144,000 terabytes!

That is enormous.

周蕙-瞬间

周蕙-瞬间

和你一起的时候

总会在某个瞬间
突然有一种错觉
世界曾经冻结
等著红灯的时候
等雨停的咖啡店
不经意回头一眼
时间静止了所有一切

在每次时空交错的瞬间

我相信自己看见了永远

以为永远还很远

其实已经在身边

和你共度的每一个瞬间

我相信自己看见了永远

我已开始有一点了解

所谓瞬间永远
以为幸福是终点
必须追逐的永远
才让我们都忽略
过程的每瞬间
在散场的人群中
在发呆的星期天
在我们没有察觉
幸福实现在每次擦肩

Always love toys like these...

You can see how detail they can make the toys to be... simply amazing.

Got to have them! :)

How expensive can an art gets?

L'Homme qui marche I

寂寞城市

今晚的夜色很美
美得让人想迟一点睡
若是夜空少了星星的点缀
月亮会不会累
这夜色凄凄的美
没有爱的人容易憔悴
就像霓虹般亮丽的周围
只是一种寂寞颓废
城市里所有寂寞的人类
有几个和我一样偷偷的流泪
若是将它一滴一滴积累
会不会流成一条冰冷的河水
城市里所有寂寞的人类
有几个像我一样厌倦了疲惫
若是真心一颗一颗的摧毁
会不会全世界和我伤悲
今晚的夜色很美
这夜色凄凄的美
没有爱的人容易憔悴
就像霓虹般亮丽的周围
只是一种寂寞颓废
城市里所有寂寞的人类
有几个和我一样偷偷的流泪
若是将它一滴一滴积累
会不会流成一条冰冷的河水
城市里所有寂寞的人类
有几个像我一样厌倦了疲惫
若是真心一颗一颗的摧毁
会不会全世界和我伤悲
整座城市陷入漆黑
孤独人在寻找自己的定位
伪装变成了一种防备
防备怕被人看穿心碎
城市里所有寂寞的人类
有几个像我一样厌倦了疲惫
若是真心一颗一颗的摧毁
会不会全世界和我伤悲
今晚的夜色很美

iPad - weird name, but it rocks!

The iPad, which resembles a giant iPhone, has a 9.7in full-colour touch-screen, and can be used to watch movies, surf the internet, listen to music, view photos, and read ebooks and digital versions of newspapers and magazines. Jobs described the device as a "truly magical and revolutionary product".

He confirmed speculation that the iPad could be used to read ebooks, newspapers and magazines. "Amazon has done a great job of pioneering books with the Kindle," said Jobs. "We're going to stand on their shoulders and go a bit further."
