As if buying cell phones on ebay wasn’t annoying enough already, with a bajillion things that you should know, it’s about to get a lot worse - at least if you’re thinking of purchasing a Nokia N95 phone.

Learn how to spot the fake Nokia N95 in this How-To.
Behold the “Nokla N95″ touch-screen smartphone. A clone of the N95 that’s manufactured by some scrubby company in China. Sellers claim that the phone has a 5 megapixel camera, GPS, and even a touch-screen display! Unfortunately what they usually don’t tell you is that the “Nokla” is dual-band 900/1800 which makes it pretty useless in the USA.
How to spot the fake Nokia N95 phone
The good news is that it’s a clone, but not a very good one. There’s some telltale signs that you need to watch out for when it comes to the N95.

Guy Negre, a French engineer, has developed an engine that runs on compressed air in the city and fuel on the highway. Under this system, it causes no pollution in the city and travels up to 1,200 miles before requiring refueling. For $3.00–roughly the cost of 1 gallon of gas today–it can travel up to 120 miles. The cost of the vehicle is expected to be roughly $7,000–a far cry from the cost of hybrids today. It may be on sale in Europe and India by year’s end.

A lesson for the West? — With a surfeit of the old and a shortage of the young, Japan is on course for a population collapse unlike any in human history.
What ails this prosperous nation could be treated with babies. Yet many young women here do not want children, and the Japanese will not tolerate a lot of immigrants. So government and industry are marching into the depopulated future with the help of robots — some with wheels, some with legs, some that you can wear like an overcoat with muscles.
A small army of these machines, which has attracted huge and appreciative crowds, is on display this winter at the Great Robot Exhibition in Tokyo’s National Museum of Nature and Science. The Japanese are delighted by robots that look human. Honda’s ASIMO can dance and serve tea. Toyota has a humanoid robot that plays “Pomp and Circumstance” on the violin — rather robotically.

-AMD finally launched DirectX 10 based Video Cards, Radeon X2xxx series, 6 months later after Nvidia launched its GeForce 8xxx series. The problem is that DirectX10 is available only on Windows Vista. DirectX10 will provide better computer graphics just as seen below,

The world’s first hybrid train, which is fuel efficient and reduces emissions, made its inaugural trip from Paris to the French Champagne region on Tuesday.
Built by Canada’s Bombardier, the train switched from electrical power to diesel fuel to reach the eastern French town of Troyes from Paris in two hours, travelling at a maximum speed of 160 kilometres per hour (100 miles per hour).
The train’s ground-breaking innovation lies in the fact that it can switch from diesel to electrical power without stopping, according to Bombardier.
Ten French regions have ordered 144 hybrid trains including the greater Paris metropolitan region, providing a boost to regional train travel in France.
Bombardier Transport president Andre Navarri said the hybrid train’s trip to Troyes produced 20 percent less emissions than a conventional diesel train, making it an environmentally-friendly option for expanding transport.

Dr. Eugen Pavel is a Romanian scientist and the inventor of the Hyper CD-ROM, a 3D optical data storage medium with a claimed initial capacity of 10 TB (TeraBytes) and with a theoretical capacity of 1 PB (PetaByte) on a single disc. It is considered by some to be the next revolution in computer storage. Dr. Pavel graduated with a physics degree from the University of Bucharest in 1976. He was awarded the Romanian Academy Prize in 1991 and obtained his doctorate in Physics from the Romanian Institute of Atomic Physics in 1992.
He won the “Prix International de l’Organisation Mondiale de la Presse Periodique” and a gold medal at the November 1999 EUREKA Contest in Brussels (Bruxelles) for inventions that lead to the creation of the Hyper CD-ROM. Dr. Pavel has published more than 40 books and articles, and he is the holder of 62 patents and patent applications.
In an interview about his work on the Hyper CD-ROM, Dr. Pavel stated that “the research for this project is 100% personal, (and) so is the support for experiments.”
So far, this technology has been brevetted in 21 countries (and counting), and the project is approaching its release. The only thing needed now is a serious investor. He estimates that, at first, the CD will cost between $100 and $200, but when it will become available in large scales, the cost will probably drop to about $30 per CD. Its price is not high, considering the CDs and DVDs which exist today, and their prices.
USA company Constellation 3D announced on June 7, 2000 a similar optical storage media under the name Fluorescent Multilayer Disc Recently Hyper CD-ROM was reported again but it is not clear what progress has been made since first announcement in 2000.

Once again Aryans show their mental superiority and back the political doctrine of White Nationalism that relies on White Supremacy. (Consult the “ronatvan dictionary” for more details)

Traian Vuia aka Trajan Vuia (August 17, 1872 - September 3, 1950) was a Romanian inventor, who designed and built the first self-propelling heavier-than-air aircraft. This item is disputed, however, given that in the United States, the Wright brothers had already successfully flown the Wright Flyer on December 17, 1903.
Traian Vuia was born in the village Surducul Mic (now part of Traian Vuia commune) in the Timiş county in western romania.
After the graduation of high-school in Lugoj in 1892, he enrolled in the Polytechnic University of Budapest, School of Mechanics where he got his engineering diploma. He then joined the Faculty of Law in Budapest. In May, 1901 he was awarded a Ph.D. degree in Law by the Faculty of Law in Budapest with the thesis “Military and Industry, State and Contract regime”.

Germans were the first who put Henri Coanda’s jet airplane into production and they called it Messerschmitt Me 262. It was the world’s first operational turbojet fighter aircraft. It was introduced in June 1944 in the German Luftwaffe. With a speed of 870km/h and a range of 1050kms, the airplane had a powerful success; it has destroyed 735 Allied airplanes while the Allies destroyed only 100 Messerschmitt Me 262 airplanes. However because it entered the battle in a critical moment, Messerschmitt Me 262 could not change the catastrophically situation that Germany was in. There is no doubt that if this aircraft would have been introduced in 1943 or even in January 1944, Germany would have won the war.
Since Romanians invented the jet plane and they were also important allies of Germany, they have received plans on how to develop the Messerschmitt Me 262.
In the following pictures you will see the Romanian version of Messerschmitt Me 262 produced in the I.A.R. factory from Brasov, a factory that has been created in 1925 and produced a lot of airplanes that fought along the German side against the communist Soviet beast! After the war ended because of the American intervention in supporting the Soviet Union, the Russian communists disabled the factory and turned it into a tractor factory. The equipment has been confiscated and it has been moved in Russia. Today the factory is located in Ghimbav in Russia and it is producing Puma helicopters after the European standards of quality.

Proponents say system could be running in 11 years if scientists can overcome technical and political hurdles
Since the dawn of the Space Age, people and hardware have thundered into orbit, shoved skyward by barely controlled explosions. Now, a loosely connected group of scientists and engineers hopes to make a launch as easy - and nearly as gentle - as pushing the “penthouse” button on an elevator.
To proponents, space elevators promise to slash the cost of sending cargo and people into space. And, they say, elevators would eliminate the costly need to overengineer satellites and other payloads to survive the rigors of a launch.
And where once even supporters held that space elevators were decades away, some scientists and engineers suggest that the first elevator could be running in 11 years. That bold prediction involves two big assumptions, they acknowledge. First, new materials currently in the laboratory will live up to their potential; second, potential environmental and political hurdles will be overcome.
