Why Nokia E65 ?
There are many reasons, especially WiFi. If you are looking for a WiFi phone, E65 is the best choice currently.Just because many other phones with WiFi have stupidly high price. Consider N95, if you are not going to use a 5 MegaPixel camera, why would you buy that phone for a fortune ?

In E65 there is a 2-Megapixel camera which is pretty enough for most shots. Beside WiFi, and its acceptable price there are many other advantages like its OS. E65 uses symbian S60 3rd version. This means you will likely to use MSN instant messenger (Windows Live), check your Gmail inbox, surf the web with a pretty nice browser.Also E65 comes with lots of useful applications, to aid your business like word,excel,powerpoint(also you may use E65 as a remote controller for presentations) and pdf applications, welcome to E65 pocket office.Since it is Symbian S60 3rd version, there are incredibly many applications for your taste, gaming, office, personal, internet, security and many others.Travellers will really like this phone.It comes with navigation apps, you may connect to your gps with bluetooth or use network to locate your position and draw a path to other location and you may also use Nokia maps application for a detailed road map of your city.

Briefly this phone is for those who wants internet,instant messaging, emailing, office and gaming, this phone is a little computer in your pocket.

Some German scientists claimed lately. According to their explanations, they forced to light to overcome its speed limit. Well these are all false as to Einstein’s theory. None of the matters can not break the speed of light, if it breaks it will transform to the energy form.But they said that they broke the speed with light itself.In another aspect, if it is true will it realize human’s dream about light speed transportation?

WASHINGTON, July 26 (UPI) — U.S. Department of Energy scientists reported the discovery of a unique quantum physics effect in nanocrystals.

The researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, in collaboration with scientists at Innovalight Inc., discovered what they said is a new and important effect called Multiple Exciton Generation.

The effect occurs efficiently in silicon nanocrystals, resulting in the formation of more than one electron per absorbed photon, the scientists reported.

Until the new discovery, MEG had been reported during the past two years to occur only in nanocrystals — also called quantum dots — of semiconductor materials that are not presently used in commercial solar cells, and which contained environmentally harmful materials such as lead.

The new finding might lead to the application of MEG for greatly enhancing the conversion efficiency of solar cells based on silicon. That would represent a key step toward making solar energy more cost-competitive with conventional power sources, the researchers said.

The research is detailed in the on-line version of the American Chemical Society’s Nano Letters Journal.

IBM just found a way that may provide a temporal and cheaper way of memory upgrade, this technology is available in many from PDAs to Servers. According to the patent, there are three separate parts, a connector, a container for RAM, a cable between connector and the container. IBM says that connector is inserted to a DRAM slot in your computer, if there are no external rams plugged, then your default computer’s memory is used. According to IBM this technology is not a replacement for typical memory upgrades, but a temporal alternative, yet there is no such product announced by IBM.
