Worlds top 10 sports car

     Worlds Top 10 Super Sports Car

1. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

The Bugatti Veyron was developed for breaking records, and needless to say, it’s done its job. The Super Sport — a hotter version of the already hot car — can make it to 60 miles per hour in just 2.4 seconds and has hit a top speed of 267 miles per hour. Horsepower weighs in at 1,200 to go along with its $2.4 million asking price.

2.  Hennessey Venom GT

Based on a heavily modified Lotus Exige body, the 7.0 liter LS7 Turbocharged V8 Twin Turbo-powered Hennessey Venom GT reportedly has the capability of hitting 275 miles per hour, though it has ‘only’ been confirmed as high 265.7 — though there’s a whole story behind the Venom GT’s quest for the fastest car title. We originally omitted the Hennessey from this ranking, since it falls quite close to being a modified car, but have reinstated it due to popular demand.

3. Koenigsegg Agera R

Koenigsegg was only getting started with the CCX, which was proven with the Agera R. Zero to 60 is handled in 2.9 seconds, and the top speed isn’t actually known for sure… but the highest confirmed top speed was clocked at 260 miles per hour, which places the Agera R in second place worldwide.

4. SSC Ultimate Aero

Along with the Saleen S7, the SSC Ultimate Aero has help boost America’s presence on the fastest car list. A top speed of 257 miles per hour is good enough for a bronze, which it shares with the 9ff GT9-R, thanks to a twin-turbo V8 with over 1,000 horsepower. Notably, the Aero held the official fastest car in the world title  from March 2007 to July 2010.

5. Saleen S7

Hailed as one of the few American contenders in the extreme super car club, the Saleen S7 has the chops to hold steady in fourth place with a top speed of 248 miles per hour — not shabby for a car from 2005. A 7.0 liter V8 with two turbos help the S7 reach its colossal top speed, courtesy of 750 horsepower. Sixty miles per hour is dealt with in 2.8 seconds.

6. Koenigsegg CCX

Like the McLaren F1, the CCX will make it to 60 (62, in reality) in 3.2 seconds, but unlike the F1, the Koenigsegg will do it with four fewer cylinders and two more turbos. That combination, though, will provide 806 horsepower and propel the Swedish super car upstart to a top speed of 245 miles per hour.

7. McLaren F1

The McLaren F1 is about as legendary as super cars get, and its presence at number six on this list testifies to that. Capable of 240 miles per hour, the F1 is still one of the fastest cars around, despite the fact that its been around since the 1990′s. A 627 horsepower V12 — courtesy of BMW — helps the F1 hit 60 in just 3.2 seconds.

8. Zenvo ST1

Danish boutique super car maker Zenvo is the creator of the ST1, a beast of a car that can reach 233 miles per hour thanks to its 7.0 liter V8 with both a supercharger and a turbocharger. Zero to 60 happens in under three seconds; unfortunately, Zenvo built just 15 of these monsters.

9. Pagani Huayra

Despite its funny-looking appearance — the gaping form fascia, the antennae-like mirrors — everything about the Pagani Huayra was designed for speed (and complete luxury). From its AMG-sourced 6.0 liter V12 (with twin turbos), the Pagani issues 720 horsepower that will help it max out at 230 miles per hour.

10. Noble M600

Noble is a small company in England with a big horse in the super car race. The M600 can muster 225 miles per hour (after hitting 60 in 3.4 seconds), thanks to a twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8 that produces 650 horsepower. More impressive still is that the engine unit, before Noble gets its hands on it, originates fromYamaha, and was originally bred for the Volvo XC90 SUV. Tied with the Noble is the Gumpert Apollo, which too can hit a lofty 225 miles per hour.

11. Lamborghini Aventador

The Lamborghini Aventador will clear 60 miles per hour in just 2.9 seconds and make its way on to a 220 miler per hour top speed, thanks to its 700 or so horsepower V12. It shares tenth place on the list with the Ascari A10 and the Aston Martin One-77, both of which will hit the 220 mark before coming back down.

           Airbus A880

Airbus A 390- The Worlds biggest passenger Jet

    Airbus A390-The Worlds biggest Aircraft

               Airbus A390

introducing in ENORMOUS AIRBUS A390!!!! 

The plane is targeted for international service of flights of over 9,000 nautical miles (about 16,600 kilometers). The A390 will be powered by six Rolls-Royce turbofan engines developing thrusts of over 340,000lb each. According to AIRBUS the break-even point for operating the airplane will be at a passenger load of about 1760 passengers. 

Among the features proposed for the future aircraft are six restaurants, three duty free shops, a lounge with a discothèque, two full sized movie theatres, a 14 lane bowling alley, a swimming pool with water slides, a wedding chapel, a fully functional medical clinic, and a 11,000 volume library. 

Two major international carriers have already placed orders and that the new jets are scheduled to begin service in late summer of 2008. 

Whoa!!!!!!!!! 

It must be hell having 1760 pax coming off one plane.

Dendroid Virus

Beware of  "Dendroid", Android phone users warned

NEW DELHI: Indian cybersecurity sleuths have alerted users of Android smartphone about the malicious activities of a tricky virus called 'Dendroid' whose infection could "completely compromise" their personal phone device.

The virus of the deadly 'Trojan' family, once activated, could change the command and control server of a user's personal Android phone and intercept private SMSes coming in or going out.

"It has been reported that a malicious toolkit called Dendroid is being used to create trojanised applications that infects Android-based smartphones. The malware is created by modifying the required permissions by any clean APK (Android Application Package) with Dendroid RAT functionality that allows detailed management of the infected devices," the Computer Emergency Response Team of India (CERT-In) said in its latest advisory to Android phone users in the country.

The CERT-In is the nodal agency to combat hacking, phishing and to fortify security-related defences of the Indian Internet domain.

Security experts say the virus is street-smart because it has a striking resemblance to the name Android.

The agency said upon installation of this malicious application, a remote attacker could "completely compromise the affected Android-based smartphone and could control it remotely".

The virus can perform a number of malicious activities. "It can change the command and control server, delete call logs, open web pages, dial any number, record calls and audio, SMS interception, upload images and video to remote location and open an application," the advisory said, categorising the virus as an "attack toolkit".

It said the malware infected "is controlled by the attacker through Dendroid Toolkit. Dendroid is a HTTP RAT, having a sophisticated PHP administration panel and an application APK binder package."

The agency has suggested some countermeasures to thwart the ill-attempts of the latest virus including keeping a check on the overall usage and any unsatisfactory rise in the user's mobile phone bill.

"Do not download and install applications from untrusted sources, install applications downloaded from reputed application market only, run a full system scan on device with mobile security solution or mobile antivirus solution, check for the permissions required by an application before installing,.

"Exercise caution while visiting trusted/untrusted sites for clicking links, install Android updates and patches as and when available from Android device vendors, users are advised to use device encryption or encrypting external SD card feature available with most of the Android OS," the agency said.

Android phone users, the CERT-In said, are also advised to keep an eye on data usage (application-wise usage also) and unusual increase in mobile bills and keep an eye on device battery usage (application-wise usage also).

"Avoid using unsecured and unknown Wi-Fi networks. There may be rogue Wi-Fi access points at public places used for distributing malicious applications and make a practice of taking regular backup of Android device," the advisory said.

World's tallest building

                           Dubai City Tower
This Will be the World's tallest tower. The building is supposed to be 2400 meters (7900 feet) tall.
The Dubai City Tower, also known as the Dubai Vertical City, is a proposed skyscraper design announced on 25 August 2008.

The building, created by an architect to display possibly future technologies, is the third tallest building ever fully envisioned after the X-Seed 4000 (4000m) and the Ultima Tower (3217m). If ever constructed, the Dubai City Tower will be much taller than any other current man-made structure, at almost three times the height of the Burj Khalifa. The Dubai City Tower would be almost seven times taller than the Empire State Building.

The design has 400 floors with a 200 km/h (125 mph) vertical bullet train acting as the main elevator. The design is inspired by the Eiffel Tower to better deal with the massive wind forces pushing on it. It has a central core with 6 outer buildings that are connected to the central core every 100 floors. This design both stabilizes the structure and spreads out its mass.

The Dubai City Tower is estimated to consume 37,000 MWh of electricity per year, with a 15 MW peak usage. The power will be mostly supplied by solar, thermal, and wind sources.

  METHOD NO 2
 This website that i have been showing you are simple but if you play your cards well you will make good money from them.
By opening several accounts in a survey website using different emails, you are guaranteed of getting several jobs a week. If one account will bring $70 a month for you through the several online jobs you have gotten through-out the month it means that having 5 different accounts will bring more money to you. You can use the same address to open several accounts with just one site.
However, the above method will make you more money but I sincerely do not encourage it. Once they find out, they will block you out. More so, there are several sites to work with and the truth is that you can never finish the jobs you will be given. Therefore, instead of opening several accounts with just one survey site, I strongly recommend that you open accounts with 4-6 high paying sites, fill your surveys, refer people thru your referral link and collect your check at the end of the month.
 Globaltestmarket . This is a great website. They act as agents to online survey companies. If you have been visiting all the websites I have revealed so far and even the ones i will still reveal to you, you will notice that all of them are online survey website agents. That means their own job is to get you online survey companies that needs your service. Some of the companies that will send you online survey job will pay you as high as $50 per survey no kidding! This is a great website you can start with. Fortunately, they accept INDIANS. That means even though you will change your I.P address, you can use your home address and the check will be sent down to you right here in INDIA and if you have a Dorm account which you can open with $100 at Guarantee Trust Bank you will be able to cash your money after 21 days! But if you don't have that much time to wait, then use the graph card method I explained earlier on, that is, you get to pay $5 to get a virtual address and once your check gets to them, your graph card account will be funded immediately and in less than 3 days you will be able to receive your money either through western union or Bank without paying any extra cash except for the 5% that graph card will remove from your money.
   Another great website, i mean a REALLY great website and method that I will reveal here is www.vindale.com . Read this well: Even if you decided not to work or register in any survey website, except this one, if you do it well you can make $500 to $1,000 in 60-90 days from now without investing more than 4 hours a week. Here is what you should do,
 [ 1] Go to www.vindale.com and register, you either change your I.P address or you register by using www.indirectconnection.com
 [ 2]In your registration, you can use a INDIAN address, so as i said in the above page you either use graph card address or your home address. The choice is yours!
[ 3]After your registration you can start browsing from the normal INDIAN I.P address, just ensure that you register using a foreign I.P address.
 [ 4]This is an important part, you will be asked to pay about $3 to complete your registration. My friend this is very vital and you should consider doing it. Your registration of $3 is not to withdraw your money but just to prove to them that you are really serious. o get a graph card VISA CARD you only need to fund your graph card account with $10. $5 for your virtual address and $3 for registration in www.vindale.com .
To fund your graph card account you need to reach graphcard on the number i gave above. Your graph card account will be funded the same day and once it is funded you will be able to generate a visa card instantly. That means you can start now and the same day get your visa card and start getting jobs immediately.
Once you have finished your registration. Go to bed! Because jobs will be sent to you almost daily and they are always highly priced, i am talking of jobs from $20 to $50 that means four to five jobs a month is all you need to make your $250.So my friend are you ready to make $250 in 30 days, then www.vindale.com is a great online survey agent that can make that happen for you!
  www.inboxdollars.com is a website that you might be familiar with. They pay you $5 instant for joining. The unfortunate thing about them is that they don't pay too much, they pay about 5 cent to 50 cent per surveys.  However, the recent i love to work with them is because, they send lot of surveys a day. this online survey websites makes a lot of money so don't get surprised if they say they will pay you instantly because once they see that you are a registered user the companies that needs you to take their surveys will pay them for it. Before I proceed, I want to introduce you to an online guru that will give you a lifetime access to online survey. We call it the MASSIVE STRATEGY.
It is about getting 100's of survey website and then registering with as many as you can. Once you get this very short but comprehensive report, then you don’t need to pay a dime again for any report on Online Survey. You will become an Information Seller yourself. In the report, you will see LOTS I mean hundreds of survey websites that you can register with, pay to read emails, pay to watch videos, pay to take surveys, pay to shop and many others. Once you get the report, you can pick like 70-90 of the survey website and one by one register with all of them.
You can use one email for all the registration. The good news is that you will get a list of survey websites that accepts INDIANS. In this report you will see how you can easily get at least five people to register thru your referral link on a daily basis using the blogger approach plus how to get a debit/credit card right here in INDIA.
Imagine having 5 people sign up under you on a daily basis just through your cashcrate referral link… in a month that is 30 people. Don’t forget that you will earn 20% of what they earn. The same approach can be used at vindale.com and all other survey sites. I strongly recommend you get this report at all cost. He is giving it out at a very ridiculous price for now. You can reach him on send a mail to getcash4survey@gmail.com
METHOD NO 3
 In this method i am going to tell you about pay per lead programs. they are a little different from the normal survey. For example i told you earlier about www.apartments.com and how they will pay you $10 for everyone that signs up in their website through you. One great pay per lead program is www.gptreasure.com a site that will pay you $0.10 for every one you refer to them as long as you have completed one survey offer yourself. Which means if i play the blogger approach i will be able to make a good amount of cash monthly just by sending people to the website.
 Another great pay per lead program is www.waverevenue.com . I love this site so much. Each time you send someone to them that downloads their free software through your referral link they pay you $0.40 instantly.
All the visitor needs is just to download the software which is free and you will be paid $0.40 for it. Can you beat that?
 Now my list of tested and trusted survey websites:
 [ 1] WWW.ACOP.COM
 [ 2] WWW.ECNRESEARCH.COM

 [ 4] WWW.EPOLL.COM

Google glass

Google Glass is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project, with a mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer. Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format, that can communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands.

Google provides four prescription frame choices for about $225.00 U.S. It is necessary to remove a small screw in order to move the Google Glass from one frame to another. Google is also partnering with eyewear company Luxottica, owners of the Ray-Ban and Oakley brands, among others, to offer additional frame designs.

Glass is being developed by Google X, which has worked on other technologies such as driverless cars. The project was announced on Google+ by Project Glass lead Babak Parviz, an electrical engineer who has also worked on putting displays into contact lenses; Steve Lee, a product manager and "geolocation specialist"; and Sebastian Thrun, who developed Udacity as well as worked on the autonomous car project. Google has patented the design of Project Glass. Thad Starner, an augmented reality expert, is a technical lead/manager on the project.

View From Google glass 

Touchpad

A touchpad is located on the side of Google Glass, allowing users to control the device by swiping through a timeline-like interface displayed on the screen.Sliding backward shows current events, such as weather, and sliding forward shows past events, such as phone calls, photos, circle updates, etc.

Camera

Google Glass has the ability to take photos and record 720p HD video. While video is recording, the screen stays on while it is doing so.

Display

The Explorer version of Google Glass uses a Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS), field-sequential color, LED illuminated display.

The display's LED illumination is first P-polarized and then shines through the in-coupling polarizing beam splitter (PBS) to the LCoS panel. The panel reflects the light and alters it to S-polarization at active pixel sites. The in-coupling PBS then reflects the S-polarized areas of light at 45° through the out-coupling beam splitter to a collimating reflector at the other end. Finally, the out-coupling beam splitter (which is a partially reflecting mirror, not a polarizing beam splitter) reflects the collimated light another 45° and into the wearer's eye.

How Google glass works?-

Technical specifications

For the developer Explorer units:

• Android 4.0.4 and higher
• 640×360 Himax helloHX7309 LCoS display
• 5-megapixel camera, capable of 720p video recording
• Wi-Fi 802.11b/g
• Bluetooth
• 16GB storage (12 GB available)
• Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 SoC 1.2Ghz Dual(ARMv7)
• 682MB RAM 
• 3 axis gyroscope 
• 3 axis accelerometer
• 3 axis magnetometer (compass)
• Ambient light sensing and proximity sensor 
• Bone conduction audio transducer

• MyGlass

  Google offers a companion Android and iOS app called MyGlass, which allows you to configure and manage your device.

Voice activation

Other than the touchpad, Google Glass can be controlled using "voice actions". To activate Glass, wearers tilt their heads 30° upward (which can be altered for preference) or tap the touchpad, and say "O.K., Glass." Once Glass is activated, wearers can say an action, such as "Take a picture", "Record a video", "Hangout with [person/Google+ circle]", "Google 'What year was Wikipedia founded?'", "Give me directions to the Eiffel Tower", and "Send a message to John" (many of these commands can be seen in a product video released in February 2013). For search results that are read back to the user, the voice response is relayed using bone conduction through a transducer that sits beside the ear, thereby rendering the sound almost inaudible to other people
