Shark-like boat runs underwater and jumps 12-feet in air

shark like seabreacher x boat

Here is an amazing vehicle – a shark shaped submarine that performs feats like a shark. Its creator Rob Innes, however, doesn’t consider it a submarine but a cross between a plane and a boat. Dubbed the Seabreacher X, the boat is a rather an ultimate millionaire’s boy-toy: a James Bond-style craft that can dive under water, roll from side to side and jump 12ft into the air.
Not only is this, but Seabreacher X has many close resemblances to a white shark. It includes a dorsal fin, gaping jaws, rows of dagger-sharp teeth and measures 16.5ft in length which is almost identical to sharks’. Powered by a 260hp engine that enables the shark shaped boat to run 50mph above and 20mph below water is for the rich adrenaline-junkies and costs about £60,000 per unit.
Seabreacher X is a two seater boat that gives immense pleasure on and under the water. Also, the boat is quick and is capable to roll 90 degrees to the right and left. The boat plunge under the water with the push of a joystick and can remain there for 20 seconds. Thereafter, after gaining little speed, boat jumps out of the water in the air with the push of the controls in the cabin.

Looks like pens with hidden cams , right?



                                    Nope, wrong...... Any wild guesses ??  
                You’ve just seen something that will replace your PC in the near future. 

                                                        




You’ve just seen the future of the Laptop. In the revolution of miniature computers, the scientists are ahead with bluetooth technology.
This is the forthcoming computers you can carry within your pockets.

Hands On: Google Chrome 2

Google on Thursday unveiled the latest version of its Chrome browser, moving the product out of beta and promising speed boosts of up to 30 percent. How does it measure up?

If you are already using the beta version of Chrome, the features will be familiar, including the speedier JavaScript performance of the browser's V8 interpreter. Google touts a 30 percent speed increase for Chrome; my testing actually showed a 44 percent improvement.

Chrome 2 completed the well-known SunSpider JavaScript benchmark in 1503ms, compared with 2689ms for version 1. This leaves the competition in the dust: Internet Explorer 8 required 9,065ms, while the Firefox 3.1 beta took 3,045ms.

In terms of features, not much has changed since our preview of the Chrome 2 beta. Most notably, you can now remove the thumbnails of your choice from the new tab pages you open. It also includes auto-fill, a full-screen mode, and the ability to drag and drop windows to fit the screen equally.

Two more features that have long been available in Windows browsers are full-screen mode and auto form filling, which saves you from retyping your address and phone number over and over.

The new version also fixes numbers bugs, which you can read about on the browser's developer blog, chromium.org.

iphone 3G


3G technology gives iPhone fast access to the Internet and email over cellular networks around the world. iPhone 3G also makes it possible to do more in more places: Surf the web, download email, get directions, and watch video — even while you’re on a call.
How it works.
iPhone 3G uses a technology protocol called HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) to download data fast over UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) networks. Email attachments and web pages load twice as fast on 3G networks as on 2G EDGE networks.1 And since iPhone 3G seamlessly switches between EDGE, faster 3G, and even faster Wi-Fi, you always get the best speeds possible.
Talk and browse. At the same time.
iPhone already gives you mobile multitasking. But 3G technology lets you multitask in more places — without connecting via Wi-Fi. Since 3G networks enable simultaneous data and voice, you can talk on the phone while surfing the web, checking email, or using Maps. All from your 3G cellular network.
Go anywhere.
iPhone 3G meets worldwide standards for cellular communications, so you can make calls and surf the web from practically anywhere on the planet. And if you’re in an area without a 3G network, iPhone connects you via GSM for calls and EDGE for data.
More wireless. Less space.
iPhone 3G delivers UMTS, HSDPA, GSM, Wi-Fi, EDGE, GPS, and Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR in one compact device — using only two antennas. Clever iPhone engineering integrates those antennas into a few unexpected places: the metal ring around the camera, the audio jack, the metal screen bezel, and the iPhone circuitry itself. And intelligent iPhone power management technology gives you up to 5 hours of talk time over 3G networks.2 That’s some of the best in the business.
