The tallest and fastest roller coasters in the world.
Who is brave enough to go for a ride?








I found it is hard to drive on Dubai Motoways

Yeah, Mitch! Why Kymco decided to cover one of their scooters with Swarovski crystals, over 100,000, for the Tokyo Motorcycle Show is one thing.
Why they decided that it looks like a "Mitch" is just weird.
The Japanese love their custom scooters, more than the US loves their Harley Hogs and Choppers, but adding Swarovski crystals has just been done to death.





I've been wondering, after I saw the amphibious swimming bus on BBC, on why passenger-only ferries are really needed after all when this bus could take passengers without having to get off the bus, wait, board, travel, disembark, wait and board a bus again. This Amphibious bus is a Dutch design but it could be very crucial in Scotland as a proper passenger vessel because a ferry service between Renfrew and Yoker is being scrapped by Strathclyde Transport next month just to save money, and even if the bus replaces it, in my opinion, it should be the subway lines that should be extended to cross the River Clyde.
Anyway, I am starting to see more useful means for a water bus - not just for tourism any more. What do you think?

A Chinese cabbage is handed to a robot named “Robovie-II”, developed by Japanese robotics research institution ATR, at a grocery store during a shopping assisting experiment by utilizing the robot in an ubiquitous network technology platform in Kyoto, western Japan January 6, 2010.

The robot greets the shopper at the entrance of the store, follows him to the shelves while holding a grocery basket and reminds him of the items on a shopping list, which the shopper would have entered beforehand in a specialized mobile device. The experiment is aimed to gather data in order to provide livelihood support for the elderly by using robots and network technologies, ATR’s researcher Satoshi Koizumi said.
