Mobile phone that controls your car?

Yep that's true, we're getting such a mobile in the very near future. It's about a new Audi Phone that comes with a new Audi A1 car. It's not a news anymore to hear about Auto companies that integrate Mobile Phones into their cars, we had Renault Nokia Twingo before and now we're dealing with audi too.
The Audi Phone actually has more functions than any integrated Auto Mobile Phone before. It has plain design and only 3 buttons (call, end and menu key in the middle) and touchscreen display, and supports 3G functionality and Wi-Fi. It is more intended as take-care-over-the-car device with functions as: keyless entry, heating/cooling, navigation input, audio/video. Other very important function is security concerned, like interim warnings of an intruder's break-in, as the phone is wirelessly linked with the car all the time. If an intruder tries to break into your car, the integrated inside camera takes a snapshot and sends directly to your mobile so you can have a pretty looking face of your intruder, and if he tries to run away with the car the system will automatically activate the tracking function.
The first Mobile phone enabled car will be Audi A1.

GoogleAds on Youtube!!

Youtube now getting really profitable site. Google decided to add the adsense platform on Youtube, to get out the money they invested on buying Youtube site 11 months ago for $1,65 billion. The ads will be placed under the videos so it will make them more visible for visitors. The real thing will work like this: the owner of the video uploaded to Youtube will sign a contract with Google to allow them to add ads under the video, that way the owner, Google and site which will link to that video will have their income.
I like the idea , cause this way many users will get something out of their video archives.

Homebrew for iPhone???

Hackers at Hackintosh forums seems to have discovered the TIFF Exploit for hacking into iPhone's 1.1.1 firmware and probably crack the system.

The method was discovered by hacker known with nick (Niacin) and seems that the method is same as used on PSP (Portable Sony PlayStation) for bringing it to homebrew system.

The iPhone hackers realised that by opening a special TIFF image which in return will crash Mobile Safari browser and create a buffer overflow and launch unsigned code on Apple's iPhone which can later be used for cracking the whole system and probably release of new hombrew system for iPhone.

As for now this is yet unfinished crackdown of Apple's iPhone but this could open the doors to a new Unlocked iPhone.

Would anyone of you stick a tree branch into your laptop???

I'm sure you wouldn't except if it has an Usb Drive inside

The usb drives currently come with 256, 512, 1 & 2gb storage.
The only bad thing about them is that they can't produce flowers or fruits
but anyways you can save your files......

Artificial Cornea Could Bright The Light For Blind

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany have invented an artificial cornea that may well be the key to restoring sight for our people with damaged corneas. The artificial cornea should implant into natural cornea with help of special protein which applies to the edge of the cornea where the cells of natural cornea latch onto. In this way, the cornea implant can firmly connect with the natural part of the cornea, while the center remains free of cells and therefore clear.

What is special about this protein is that it can survive the later thermal sterilization of the artificial cornea without being damaged, as it does not have the three-dimensional structure typical of large proteins.
