Cell Phone As USB Modem

Well, I don't know if you already know this or not but you can use your cell phone as a USB Modem so you can have Internet Connection wherever there is a network coverage for your cell phone.

I discovered this by mere concidence, I plugged my Nokia 5200 to my laptop and was copying something from the memory card and after I finished the Data Storage mode I clicked quit then every thing happened !!!

My nice Ubuntu 8.10 notified me that it can connect me to the broadband that it provided by my cell phone so I clicked yes and I choose Mobinil as my service provider (the list included Vodafone and Etisalat), after that a network was added to the available networks so I turned off my router and wireless device on the lap and connected to the broadband.

I couldn't believe that I was able to go to Google and search with a keyword using the broadband Internet, I can't deny that it was slow actually very very slow but I think if you have a better cell phone than mine (something of the N series) you can do good browsing especially if you disable images and Java Scripts.

Try it and tell me how it went with you ...

Saving Energy

Hi everyone,
While I was surfing on the internet, I found a very interesting site, it calls you to join them on their cause for saving energy.

You must have heard people talking about this matter many times before, but I doubt that it ever caught your interest or made you really change your habits or adapt new habits that would save energy.

This web site is REALLY different, it is very exciting and brings you to the core of the problem, it shows you how you by changing your habits and adapting new ones would change things in numbers. For instance, it shows you how much money you would save if you go to your work on a bike three days a week, it also tells you how much the equivalent energy saved by you can do in other fields (like charging your laptop or providing a hospital with energy).

The nicest thing in the site is the game, yes you can play a game where you have a city in 2015 and you have to provide it with enough energy, you get to choose between all sources: nuclear, hydro, natural gas, etc. Anyway, you have to watch out for three meters: Economic, Environmental and Security, you have to balance the three meters to get the highest score, it is really nice and will teach you something as well.

Go to the site here
To play the game choose energy ville.

47 million years old OMG !!

Hi everyone,
You must have heard of the evolution theory, that theory that suggests that creatures actually were mainly very primitve lives, which by time - I mean here millions of millions of years - evolved into creatures that you say all around.

This theory includes human beings !!. I believe it is silly because human has been created by Allah as human. He may have been bigger and different from now but surely he was a human.

Anyway, scientists have found a 47 million years old fossil that they claim as one of the early human ancestors - A phase on the evolution journey -
As I said earlier, I wouldn't take it that this fossil is one of my great great grand mothers as they say in the report. but surely, it is someone's else grand mother !!

The great thing about this fossil that it is perfectly preserved, you can see all the details of the body even some fur can be located !!
The great condition of the fossil - 95% compelete - can be justified by the fact that it was found in a place which is believed to have been a lake where gazes and liquids existed which helped preserving this fossil along with other thousand fossils of animals and fishes.


It is very interesting see a look at the BBC for more details .
