It is not safe to record CDs and DVDs any more!
2007-09-01 20:37:00 Dogs that have travelled the world sniffing out pirate DVDs make their New York debut. These dogs are trained to sniff out plastic of the DVD boxes and smell of burned discs. As the guy in the video said ...behind the closed the doors and in hidden place this will be good enough evidence for illegal activities. Does that mean we aren't supposed to burn DVDs any more? How can these dogs differentiate DVDs with my photos from pirated games or movies? Burned DVD is burned DVD. Usually I was taking several burned music CDs or DVDs with me on my travels, now I would think twice on taking them. And they are legally burned. They contain copies of mp3 which I bought over the internet. What should anybody do if on airport they have such dogs and they sniff out several DVDs with some business data or presentations on them? These are confidential information and how could anybody prove to the officer on the airport that they do not contain any pirated data without showing what is ...

Giant squid - this time for real
2007-07-13 17:59:00 Giant squid, once believed to be mythical creatures, are squid of the Architeuthidae family, represented by as many as eight species of the genus Architeuthis. They are deep-ocean dwelling animals that can grow to a tremendous size: recent estimates put the maximum size at 13 m (43 ft) for females and 10 m (33 ft) for males from caudal fin to the tip of the two long tentacles (second only to the colossal squid at an estimated 14 m (46 ft), one of the largest living organisms). The mantle is only about 2 m (7 ft) in length (more for females, less for males), and the length of the squid excluding its tentacles is about 5 m (16 ft). There have been claims reported of specimens of up to 20 m (66 ft), but no animals of such size have been scientifically documented. Now there is clear physical evidence as the carcass of a giant squid was washed up in Tasmania. More About: Time , Giant , Real , Squid

XBOX 360 repairs will cost Microsoft 1 billion dollars!
2007-07-07 09:53:00 In another setback for Microsoft 's unprofitable entertainment and devices division, the company says it is planing to spend at least $1 billion to repair serious problems with its XBOX 360 video game console The reason for such enormous cost is "an unacceptable number of repairs" to its Xbox 360 video game consoles and they had missed shipment targets for the end of June. Mostly they need to fix their Xbox Internet issue as there are numerous complaints about Xbox 360 failures on the Internet. Microsoft declined to explain what was actually wrong with Xbox 360, but rather they say that it is not a single problem but series of issues which all could cause those three little red lights to flash. Because of that Microsoft said it would extend the warranty on the Xbox 360 to three years and customers who have had their consoles will be reimbursed for the cost of the repairs. By the end of June the target was to ship 12 million Xbox 360s, but the reached number of shipment is 11.6 ... More About: General , Cost
The most powerful handgun in the world
2007-07-06 22:47:00 Here is something off topic. This video shows custom built on a Thompson Encore (fancy version of the Thompson Contender). The caliber is 600 Nitro Express or 60 cal. If you are not weapon expert, 60 cal or 600 Nitro Express is caliber specifically developed for killing elephants. The rifle was developed 1903 but most hunters felt that it was too powerful and harsh in recoil for anything but emergency use to stop a charging animal. English professional hunters using .600 Nitro double rifles generally had them carried by a gun bearer until just before they were needed. This was because these rifles often weighed 15 pounds or so, and an exhausted carrier simply could not use one effectively in an emergency. MI 16 - 600 Nitro Express -Elephant rifle The pistol shown in this video is just for the exhibition, I think that it was built just to be shown and never used, but there is always some stupid guy who want to use something like this.
