ultra-lightweight Lamborghini super car

the Italian super car maker unveiled it's concept lightweight super car in the 2010 Paris motor show, weighting in at just 997.9kg (overall curb weight) - all thanks to the advance carbon-fiber technology. while other super car maker are pursuing the hybrid technology, Lamborghini chose the path of exploring efficiency through lighter weight and lower emissions. known as the sesto elemento Lamborghini, this Lamborghini will be powered by 570hp V-10 power plant and has a claimed acceleration from 0-62mph in just 2.5sec. this proves that you can be a heavy weight car maker without being actually being a heavy weight :)

just when the world is still gasping over the new iPhone (both the good and bad), Apple introduces the new generation iPod touch (read touch, not itouch) and the iPod nano (i lost counting which generation of nano is this). the new iPod touch now comes with the goodness carried over from the new iPhone 4, i.e. Retina display, HD video recording, FaceTime et cetera and there's a new thing called Game Center. the Game Center. oh, it also runs on the A4 processor. nice. good news to iPod touch gamers :)

it seems to me that there's a new design for the nano. was i wrong? there are so many generations that i thought i lost count. anyway, there's a new update for the nano, again. this time with Multi-Touch. you know Multi-Touch? the usual swipe to browse, touch to play stuff and now there's a home screen with icons in it, which like the Touch and iPhone, you can rearrange them. it is even smaller (width 40.9mm; height 37.5mm; depth 8.78mm) & lighter now, as if it wasn't already small & light enough, and guess what? you can clip it to your belt now, as in directly with the nano, not with any other add-on or cases. oh, there's accelerometer in it too. sweet.

frankly, this isn't exactly the newest news but i'm still awe by the reality of human flight - that is with a human jetpack. with the jetpack, you can make your james bond dream come true. capable of ceiling of 8000 feet (2438 meters) and a range of 31.5 miles (approximately 50 kilometers) at a top speed of 63 miles an hour (101 km/h), it will get you to work minus the traffic jam. this provides a true meaning to taking short-cuts. that is if you can find a place to land & park this thing. make sure you get crease-free shirt to go with it. now, where do i store my brief case...
