Restless Planet

I am sure you watched the movie Jurassic Park. The idea of Jurassic Park has always intrigued me and I am a fan of it. I often wondered why a whole theme park couldn’t be created around this idea. And now it is finally happening.

A new $1.1 billion Jurassic theme park called Restless Planet, is being built in Dubai. The park will feature 109 animatronic dinosaurs of over 40 different species in a 500,000 square foot (46,000 square metre) space. The first-of-its-kind dinosaur park set in the new City of Arabia promises to take you back into the primitive world and give you some thrilling moments of interacting with dinosaurs.

Scheduled to open in the late 2008, the park is sure to increase the in-flow of dollars to the already cash-rich Dubai. Watch the promotional video released by the developers showing a T.Rex charging at visitors and pterodactyls flying overhead while you wait restlessly for the project to be completed.

Hopefully I get the chance to visit this theme park in the future (if I got the money), but I wonder how much they will charge for the entrance fee and I wish they don’t build this theme park just to market for the opulent tourist.

Oh, I have a suggestion for them. They should add some actions like the video below:

Exciting isn't it? What do you think? Chasing by T-Rex is definitely better than the boring rollercoaster ride and people will never forget for life after that.

Free Online Photo Editor

I have found an online photo editor, I think is quite fun and easy to use. It’s called Picnik. You can send picture to their site and tweak it to your liking. It has many effects, fonts, shapes and frames for you to choose from. There is a premium version (Upgrade it if you think the free effects are not enough for you) but you have to pay to get it. I personally like it very much, the interface is very easy to use and I just need a few clicks to edit the pictures on my PC or the pictures that I've already uploaded to Flick and Facebook. It's free and no registration required! So why have to spend your money on buying a photo editor software?

Yuwie.com

Another social networking site, it is a new site and this site is a bit different from others social networking sites, you can even earn money by making new friends. One of the member already prove he is doing well and making money from it. Sign up now to find out more!

The Facebook

Facebook is one of the fastest growing Social Networking sites on the net, even myself is on it. If you do not have a facebook account yet I do suggest you go and sign-up. Using social networking sites to launch new products, sites or services is becoming a new trend, and that is something you can't get on friendster. From September 2006 to September 2007 the site's traffic ranking increased from 60th to 7th, according to Alexa. Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg, a former Harvard student at the age of 20, interesting right?

Besides, it has many features as well, you can challenge your friends with games such as Chess and Scrabble, upload videos and send a gift (virtual gift) to your friends.

OLED Technology

Looks like everyone is jumping onto the flexible display bandwagon these days, with Sony giving the competition something to think about with its 2.5" OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) screen made from a glass substrate, enabling you to bend the screen casually. This wafer-thin display will probably find practical use inside futuristic, high-tech magazines as an advertisement channel or other social products such as cellphones. Organic TFT technology is utilized to keep the clarity intact despite measuring just 0.3mm thick. This flexi-OLED display has a resolution of 120 x 169 pixels and weighs a mere 1.5 grams. I guess exhibitions and conventions like in the future will use these in their flyers soon.

Look at the video and see how slim it is:


What a good invention isn't it? Before that, we only can see this gadget in the movies like Minority Report and many other movies that about the future right? Hmm...then I started to think, it must be cool to replace all the newspaper, magazines, and photo albums with this OLED screen. I can't wait to see this happen, in 5 years after now? 10 years? I don't know.....but I am expecting it. Do you ?
