China has anounce their mighty next generation fighter aircraft, the J-10A, which original concept from Russia, and in design, hope to break away for their precedent. It is also believes that this aircraft would be a great leap forward in Technology. (Link)

The West are concern, in fact they already have Join Strike Fighter - F35 series standby, the first test flight of this Eagle is schedule at August this year, if every thing go smoothly, it will enter USAF service in 2008 and replace all F15. (Link) and (Link)

The ever upgrading of military tech is like the personal computer in my house, before I can finish my lastest game, from 486 it became P4, and now Dual Core!

Birth and Origin of extreme helium stars

I heard that two white men have a crush on each other produces this deadly laughing gas, like the recent movie Brokeback Mountain.
Our Sun is a yellow dwarf, I am not sure whether it is before or after the white dwarf, but I am sure I'll not be here to see its last day, nor will my son, my grandson and great grandson.

But, I am not sure whether I will see the ozone layer gets weaker and weaker and finally decided to give mankind a big wash from the polar cap, better start training my boys for sea survival skills.

Two big whit dwarf collide together and form this helium giant, In my view, suppose to contribute to a greater balance of the Universe, or destruction? (Link)

Religious satire and insult - how much are you able to take?

Human wedge war not in the name of politic, but in the name of Religion.
Civilisation clashes, mass genoside, slavery, freedom oppression all in the name of some great faith, who wants to be the leader in religion? which faith has the ultimate truth that will finally give salvation to mankind? or is it that we are hopeless?

I think Matt Stone's blog exist by accident, some bits of the big bang must have trigger this thought, merely the Darwinism, Science, no intelligent whatsoever!

Oh! I forgot the warning, if you could offended by people making jokes about you belief, please don't click on this, and his blog.

But if you had a light Heart, please go enjoy Thought Mechanics - Jesus Christ Musical, I will Survive.

and relax hor!

Jewish rabbi singer that perform in clubs and bars

Matisyahu is a Chassidic Jewish who sang and performed at club houses and wine bar alike, he has recently raised many eyebrow and became a jewel internationally.
Because many are not sure whether a Chassidic Jews can sing and perform at public places like clubs and bars, some even said that he is trying to preach through his talent, or the other way round, spoiling the Holy name of the Scripture.

If as conservative Chinese, we can accept this local church preach by singing and performing, and raise Christian singer like Sun Ho, I don’t see why it is so hard for the westerner to accept Matisyahu. (Link)

Update:
Google vidoeo have a short clip of Matisyahu singing

Epigenetics - What you can't see can hurt you.

You may be a Christian, Buddhist or just an Atheist, but it is hard to deny how gene is affecting us and our descendant.
Even without any solid proof, many Scientists now start to believe that gene does more than just pass down defects, they actually thinks that gene also carry some "spiritual" properties, and can pass down emotion quality.

Believe it of not, which means some emotion difficulty that you are facing now could be what your ancestor had experience long time ago.

What your child ‘inherit’ also greatly depend on what you go through during your life time, or you tendency in life. This all sound like how the Historian had said that history tends to repeat itself, not to forget how Buddhism explains 因果循环.

Can we change our gene? Maybe not, but we can start to decide what emotion quality we want our children to carry.

Update:
According to Digg and Technology Review, EpiGenetics is one of the 10 Emerging Techs.

Hovering car images in Google earth

Ever since the launch of Google Earth last year, a group of enthusiast has been following it operation almost religiously.
A satellite image showing a car apparently looks like hovering was captured in January, follow by another one today.

Off course, car doesn’t hover, it could be due to satellite image distortion that we are looking at a flying car, and nevertheless it is still interesting to watch.

(Link) to the first sighting, (Link) to the second sighting, like it is some kind of spiritual phenomena of UFO landing.

Internet television rants

While I am Googling for Internet TV resources(because Singapore TV program no class), I came across a few of them.
And a few point to note, for myself.
Notably Mediahopper look quite interesting, and I browse through a few of their program(few hundred hor), my eye also cannot take it, maybe some other times. You really need a lot of time to find what you like, and yes, they are all quite available, US, Japan, Korea, take your time hor.

But what like to share is this, the Holersoft free internet TV, it claims to provide 750 TV station, and more, it is also P2P software, which make streaming faster, but you will have to pay to get over the trial period, too bad.

I will definitely start watching wwwiTV, say bye bye Channels U, 5 and 8.

Quantum leap in invention - transparent Integrated Circuit

This revolutionary leaps was claim by Oregon State University (OSU) researchers.
Just what are the advantages of transparent IC?
This Technology is going to make the 'consumable' Electronic products like mobile phone, radio, walkman and so on more affortable, meaning very cheap!

What about computer product? IMHO IT industry also cannot escape the fray, which means we can expect that the PC product prices will plunge for years to come.

From the Article, I also read that HP has got the copyrights of the finding, smart HP! they sure make the move really fast has farsight. So what? Is HP going to come out HP mobile phone? Or perhaps HP MP3 player? it is all possible, because now with this tech, they have an edge, Cheap edge! (Link)

China city crush fake cigarettes to obtain medicine

Solanesol, A useful chemical in tobacco that can be use as Cardiac stimulant and analogue for Vitamin K.
According to WHO, 1.2 million people died from smoking annually in China, they are taking this step as a kill two birds with one stone measure.

Some city in the world are fighting smoking by increase the tax for importing cigarettes, and obtain monies to offset the health problem causes by this habit. So far, there is no public education that is effective enough to do the job, so most of the world treat this as a economic problem, instead of a social problem. (Link)

Wooden boat made to look exactly like Ferrari

The boat runs on the conventional boat motor and there is nothing so Ferrari about the engine, but both the look and feel are mold to tell the driver’s senses he is on a Ferrari.
I don’t have any more detail, but judging from the photo I can safely say that the boat is now in Venice. As you know Venice has no roads, most building are link via canals and waterway, that is probably the reason the car lover there are inspired to make a Ferrari that run on water.

Birds sculpture cut and crafted out from soft drinks cans

I sighted it on sales at Woodland MRT. Because this is from a roadside seller, I rekon you would not see this again, and antie also look quite 'cham', so I got 2 from her.
The cans was cut away from the top, and the wall was cut into many slices, each slice was then painfully weave unto each other to make it look like either a swan or others birds.

I called this soft drinks cans art, it is even more expressive than Origami.
