It’s not often that Britain can claim a win in the space race. But these teddy bears drifting nearly 20 miles above Earth have become the first soft toys to take part in extra-vehicular activity (to use correct NASA jargon) at such an altitude.

The soft toys MAT and KMS were named after the first initials of the pupils who helped make their space suits.

Along with their two intrepid colleagues, they were strapped to a beam attached to a foam-padded box containing instrumentation and cameras on Monday.

“The N97 might be one of the most exciting devices Nokia has launched in a long time and it seems like Nokia is hell-bent on taking on HTC, Apple, Sony Ericsson, et al. The handset that’s just been announced doesn’t look anything like earlier leaks have suggested and it’s easily the most exciting device Nokia has announced this year.

The specifications are truly awe inspiring, starting off with a 3.5-inch touch screen with 640×360 (16:9) resolution and haptic feedback, a slide out QWERTY keyboard, a 5Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash, WiFi, Bluetooth, A-GPS, HSDPA, 32GB of built in flash memory, a microSD card slot, FM-radio, FM-transmitter (for sending music from the phone to a radio tuner) and a 3.5mm headphone jack, which doubles up as TV-out socket.”

Looking good - wish I could afford an $1800+ phone

A 12-YEAR-old American schoolboy has been arrested for farting in the classroom.

Police were called when the boy became disruptive, shutting off the computers of classmates and “deliberately passing gas” at his school in Florida, The Smoking Gun reports.

The 150cm offender was also accused of shutting off the computers of classmates at Florida’s Stuart’s Spectrum High School.

Busted by school authorities for disruption of a school function, the boy was taken to the County Sheriff’s Office.

Police said the boy, who name was suppressed due to his age, admitted the offences and was released into the custody of his mother.

Remember, its America.

NOTORIOUS is the story of CHRISTOPHER WALLACE who, through raw talent and sheer determination, transforms himself from a Brooklyn street hustler to become the greatest rapper of all time, THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G. This story charts his meteoric rise to fame and his refusal to succumb to expectation. Produced by Voletta Wallace (BIG’s mother), Wayne Barrowman and Mark Pitts (BIG’s managers), NOTORIOUS challenges us all to redefine our notion of what is “The American Dream.”

January 16 baby.

“The Home Chare—yes, that’s chare, not chair—is a combination wheelchair for the disabled and for Jabba the Hutts. This device not only can be adjusted into a bed and standing aid, but also can double as a toilet via a replaceable seatless cushion. We can’t see how this toilet design is convenient though, unless, of course, you rode around in this wheelchair pantless or in a pair of asschaps. Since the Home Chare is currently not on the market, we hope this will give them time to fix the restroom-accessibility situation.”

Wouldn’t like to see how long the toilet will last..

What a useless post.. maintaing a blog is harder than you think, hombre.

“Microsoft is bringing out the big guns against Sony and Nintendo this holiday season by aggressively lowering the prices of its Xbox 360 SKUs on shelves around Australia. The Xbox 360 Arcade unit now breaks the AU$300 price barrier, now retailing for AU$299.95.”

* Xbox 360 Arcade now AU$299 (was AU$349)
* Xbox 360 Pro now AU$399 (was AU$499)
* Xbox 360 Elite now AU$549 (was AU$649)

Don’t even THINK about buying a PS3 or else I will stab you with a rusty plastic spoon.
