Amazing new material: GRAPHENE

I will start with this: the developers of Graphene won last year's Nobel Prize. There are many men of science out there that belive that this new material means the end of silicone. Also it could be the foundation of a new generation of computers.

Graphene has been named the "miracle material" of the 21st Century.

What is graphene? Watch the following video.



The future applications of Graphene are limitless.

World's first PDA: The IBM Port-A-Punch

You'll be amazed to hear that the world's first PDA was released in 1958 by IBM. This PDA card is a piece of stiff paper that holds digital data made up by the presence or absence of holes in predefined positions.

At present an outdated taping medium, this type of cards were widely applied throughout the 19th century for commanding textile looms and in the late 19th and early 20th century for engaging fairground organs and associated tools. Former digital calculators used punched cards, often developed using keypunch machines, as the basic medium for input of both computer programs and data. Some voting machines use punched cards.

Water Torch technology

A "water torch" is a portable oxyhydrogen torch that combines a DC power supply and an electrolytic cell with a pressure gauge and flashback arrestor. Water is decomposed on-demand into oxyhydrogen, obviating the need for separate hydrogen and oxygen tanks. The original was designed in 1962 by William Rhodes and Raymond Henes of the Henes Manufacturing Co.[11] (now Arizona Hydrogen Manufacturing, Inc.).

Fly-Catcher Device

I hope you enjoy this Fly-Catcher device because I've never seen anything like it. Watching this device working I understand that it is all about the form of the revolving block with respect the the cylindric cutout that it's housed in. Essentially, those circled corners of the turning block will be made so that afterward they go by the opening, it forms a cachet with the housing around it. The corners on the bar will then be separated cautiously, so that when the bar keeps rotating to the storage container in the back, it constitutes seals above and below the storage container.

For those living in areas where flies are really annoying this device is the best gadget you could buy. As an alternative, you can find cheaper fly traps on amazon.

My Cell Phones (2001-2011)

I just remembered my first phone (Sagem...). It had a black and green display and I had it for 6 months. Nothing spectacular. After that I bought Nokia 3310. It was an amazing phone. I remember I bought a red case for it. It looked so futuristic and glossy and it was a breakthrough at the time. My friends always played the well known snake game. My roomate beat the record by playing it 10 hours straight.

I got Motorola T720i as a gift in 2003. It was my first camera phone, although the picture quality was really poor. Another cool features of this phone was the color display. Not many cell phones had this feature at that time.

In 2005 I was given a K350i. With 1.3 MP camera I was able to take 1280x1024 photos. It also featured video recording which was great. In the same period I bought the Motorola L6 from a guy. The main feature of this phone was it's slimness and battery stand-by time. I still have the L6 because it lasts up to one week per charge.


In march 2007 I bought Nokia N73 and I was blown by the camera quality, the display and the way you could listen to music. VGA video recording capability were cool features.


In september 2007 I sold the N73 and bought the N95. It was my first real smartphone and I had it for 3 years. The N95 took amazing pictures and videos and I was able to install many cool software on it. It was crowned the best phone of 2007. There are not enough words to praise this phone. The only downside was poor battery life.


After reading extensively about the smartphones available these days, I went for Nokia N8. The main reason for this is that N8 has the best camera so far (12 MP).  I love the phone, but I'm waiting for the next firmware update.
Read this post to see more about Nokia N8.
