Nokia has released a new business class device, the E63… Looking at the specs, it seems to be a baby E71.. with some features missing. Nokia says it represents a new proposition, that it provides people with a way to keep in touch with both their personal and business sides.. I’m not too sure about that.. but if it’s cheaper than the E71.. I might get one. Now.. which should I get.. the blue? or red?

Update 1: ARGH! It has a plastic body! Darn… E75 maybe?

Every so often… I get the urge to spend money needlessly on some gadget or toy. The gadget can be anything from a pedometer to a games console. The toy is just.. a toy.. mostly some action figure that screams out to memories of my toy deprived childhood lurking just beneath the surface of my not so adult mind…

In reference to one of my earliest posts in this blog, I hereby declare myself a phone addict. Late last night, I noticed something strange with my darling phone. I couldn’t scroll up nor down, and the cancel button wasn’t cancelling. My eyes started welling up… would this be the end of a beautiful relationship?

NO!!!! I won’t let you go that easily!!! We won’t go down without a fight! You just hang on, baby!!!

“Boss, I have an emergency. I’ll be coming in late today… yes, it’s family related… no, not my wife… yes, the baby’s okay… I really gotta go… … … ok … ok …, okay, I’ll take time off, then… I understand… yes, yes, responsibility… yes… (^$*$%#&$%*(&)*%(&^_(!!!!!)”

Wow! I didn’t see this coming. I thought Japan’s been a pacifist country since the end of World War II. In fact, I think they signed an agreement with the U.S. to not rebuild their armed forces after the war. Even their air force is called Japan Air SELF-DEFENCE Force or JASDF. But somehow, amid that, they have begun developing a stealth fighter to replace their ageing McDonnell Douglas F-15 fleet.

They began developing this new fighter after their requests for the F-22 from the U.S were met with lukewarm responses. The Americans were concerned about security and technology leaks should they sell a few F-22s to the Japanese. And since Japan is geographically close to China and Russia, the leak scenario they have conjured up may seem to look valid. As it is the Americans are ahead in stealth technology by 20 years and I’m sure they want it to stay that way for a very long time.

This pisses the Japanese off because one of the main reasons they wanted to upgrade from their F-15 is in light of other countries around them building up their armed forces. China is for one building their forces at an alarming rate.

So they decided to make a stealth fighter of their own. The new fighter will be made by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. If anyone remembers, MHI is the company that was responsible for building one of the most feared WW II fighters, the Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter.

The only fighter Japan has designed and built post WW II was the Mitsubishi F-1. It was a small support fighter to complement its F-15 fleet.

The new stealth fighter - which does not have a designation yet - will be small, sleek and fast too. Typical of Japanese mentality. Unlike the Americans that likes to make big bad ass mofo planes. Japan will probably apply their car making principles to the new fighter. The Japanese fighter will probably be fuel efficient, requires much less maintenance, rarely breaks down and easy to handle. The mock-up had already gone stealth technology testing in France and was given a high stealth rating by the French.

I for one love the look of the Japanese stealth fighter. And I think it is only a matter of time before someday a Japanese fighter will be shocking the world by transforming mid air into mechs, pull out a gun pod and start blasting every other fighter in the sky while performing physics-defying manoeuvres.

One day…

This is a great article. Here’s an excerpt:

"…you might imagine that a particular shape of the nose or turn of the chin would look drop-dead hunky on a male, but horsey on a woman; dad got to mate because his looks attracted a female, but the result of their togetherness produced daughters whose pulchritude was less than obvious."

To summarise, turns out genes that are good for males may not be good for females. So, if you think your partner is hot and your kids are gonna look great, think again…

Tango says…. two beautiful people don’t guarantee one beautiful kid. Take a look at Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s kids… they must have gotten all the wrong genes from their parents. Here’s one, Rumer Willis…urk…
