BMW. racing. sci-fi. innovation. design. technology. beauties.
Soon we will have to think some other conundrum to illustrate an age old question of what comes first: the chicken or the egg?
A recent report on physorg.com finally concludes that the egg came first.
Even wierder is the story of a man raised by chickens. In truth the story is pretty sad.
So not a good day for chickens.
For those of you who do not know what an Ariel Atom2 is (no, it is NOT a brand of washing powder), then you should check out the video clip below. The Atom2 is perhaps one of the most insanely fun cars ever built. It is built by a small company (7 employees) somewhere in the villages of England. The engineering operations apparently run out of a barn on some farm.
But what is remarkable about the car is that it is perhaps the closest you can get to driving an open wheel racing car on the road!
Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson test drive of the Atom2 (boy does he look ugly!) is as much fun for us to watch as it was for him to drive. I want an Atom2!

Apple’s iTunes is making waves again.
This time it is in relation to downloadable video (TV). For some time downloadable TV was the domain of TiVo. Now iTunes is working with some of the major studios to agree on offerring TV series like 24, Lost, Desparate Housewives etc on iTunes.
Whilst Yahoo! were busy wooing the analsyts, Google was attracting attention of a different kind.
Check out this online trading tracker. True or hoax?
As I was digging around for the latest hot tech news on the web, I came across this piece about Yahoo’s vision for the net (also available thru 11mb pdf file).
I’ve not read the full document (188 pages, no kidding!) but it gives a good insight of what Yahoo! foresees as being the future of the internet. Given the nature of the ‘net, all of these I suppose will be a lot of speculation. Still, Yahoo! is one of the bigger internet players in the market, so I would be reading their document once I have a little more time.
Ciao.
