We don’t see Julia Roberts much on screen nowadays – we miss her presence is a different thing though. But Julia Robert’s reason for keeping her movie career at the backburner is probably her 3 kids – 4-year old twins Hazel and?Phinnaeus [Finn] and the 2-year old Henry!

The 41 year old actresses says that her kids keep her from getting bored and she loves that she gets to spend time with them. But one thing that worries the star is that none of her kids resemble her personality or physical traits. Maybe they have more traits in common with their cameraman father Danny Moder.

Julia says that she hates people and papparazzi when they follow her kids and put it up on the internet. She hates when people say that her kids are ugly – who wouldn’t BTW?

G1 is the new Google Android phone introduce by T-Mobile and made by HTC.

Before the launch of gPhone it was speculated that Google would make its own phone loaded with all the features and software that Google offers. Currently the phones are manufactured by Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson, HTC, ASUS, Garmin, Huawei, Toshiba, ?& Motorola.

But they never made a phone themself so they started the Android project. This project in collaboration with some of the heavyweights in the technology industry like print Nextel, T-Mobile, Intel, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, LG, Motorola, Samsung, & Ebay launched the open-source software platform called the Google Android.

The G1 has a one-touch access for Gmail, YouTube, Google Calender and Google Talk.

As far as music is concerned Pandora is by far the BEST source but it isn’t yet available for G1. You can use Imeem or Last.fm although I admit that they don’t match up with Pandora.

Imeem doesn’t have a large collection but hey its better than nothing until ?Pandora is launched for the G1.

Travis the Chimp was shot by the police who attacked the friend named Charla Nash (age:55) ?of his owner. Sandy Herold who raised Travis as a human stabbed him with a butcher knife in order to protect her friend from the chimp who went berserk.

Sunday morning many people called the authorities regarding what looked like a fireball in the Texas sky.

The Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson Roland Herwig said that they didn’t know what it was.

The Williamson County Sherrif Office even spent a helicopter to search what was thought of as a falling debri.

Was it another airplane crashing down the earth? I don’t know nor do the authorities.

A test developed by scientists at the Harvard University claims to prove and score you based on your racist attitude. It says that it can provide a general overview of how racist you are based on your answers in the quiz.

The project is named as Project Implicit and the quizes are available at their website. ?At first only a US version of the test was available but now a specially tailored version for the UK has been launched. I think it is because the British audience is usually considered more racist in nature.?

We often pretend to promote and support equality but deep down inside our hearts we bear racst attitude. This test uses our subconscious mind to bring out our thoughs more clearly.

It works like this:

• Users put positive and negative words, such as “failure”, “glorious”, “wonderful” and “nasty” into categories of “good” and “bad”, then do the same with images of black and white faces.
• By responding to the prompts as quickly as possible, the test aims to side-step what’s known as “cognitive control” – the brief, but significant, time lapse we need to give an “acceptable” answer rather than a truly honest one.
• Depending on the magnitude of the result, respondents are judged to have either “little or no bias” or a bias rated as “slight”, “moderate” or “strong”.

I don’t know how accurate it is but it was fun to take and it gives you evidence to put your acts together when it comes to racism

Virgin Global Row is a solo expedition by Olly Hicks to circumnavigate the Antarctica in his boat called The Flying Carrot.

The expedition will last about 18 to 22 months which is roughly 2 years. Olly will be on the sea for majority of the time except for over-wintering on South Georgia where it gets extremely cold even to survive.

Here are some of the juiciest details regarding the boat that Olly will take with him.

• The Flying Carrot is the most advanced rowing boat ever made!
• The equipment inside the boat is also state-of-the-art
• The hull and cabin structure is made of Kevlar foam sandwich that provides it with bouyancy as well as strength (Kevlar is also used in bullet-proof jackets)
• It is designed by?Phil Morrison specially for Olly’s height and size
• ?The stern cabin is divided into two sections, the rear-most being 100% water tight, providing sleeping accommodation and housing for electronic equipment, while the other is a wet self-draining compartment designed for food preparation and shake-down before dry cabin entry.
• The bow cabin will also have an emergency ?grab-bag? with all survival communications equipment, should the stern cabin be compromised.
• The boat operate with electrical power stored in marine batteries and these batteries are charged from three sources, the wind generator, solar panels and a fuel cell.
• The boat additionally contains these equipments and gadgets : ????Satellite phones (For calling the land and other ships)
  2 x PDA?s (For sending blog updates to blogger)
  A laptop (For communications, mapping and weather routing)
  Video cameras for filming material for youtube.com/virginglobalrow
  A water-maker to convert sea water into drinking water.
  A VHF radio systems
  An Auto-pilot system
  2 x GPS systems
  Radar reflector (to make ‘The Flying Carrot’ look bigger to other ships)
  Sat-C emergency communications.
  GPS tracker (The trackers locate the boat in the Southern Ocean and add the signal to Google Maps allowing Olly to be tracked online).
• You can also ask a question to Olly.
• Olly also maintains a blog, a YouTube video channel as well as Picasa album to share his thoughts, videos and photos.
• The food that Olly carries will provide him with roughly 6000 calories a day – enough for him to replenish his energy fot rowing and maintaining the boat.
• On-board entertainment equipment includes 3×80 GB ipods – with audio books and music.
• The stern cabin, 100% water-tight by design and containing all the communications equipment, is an extremely confined space when fully packed with supplies but during bad weather Olly will confine himself to this space for some days at a time.

Nate Robinson is gathering a lot of buzz since winning the Slam Dunk Contest. How tall is Nate Robinson? Not very! He stands 5 feet 9 inch tall which is 1.75 meters.

Nate Robinson won the competition back in 2006 and he has done it again this year!

Nate Robinson defeated Dwight Howard with 52% votes which were text from all over the world!

Nate was wearing a Nike Air Force 2 which helped him get a much higher lift when he jumped over Dwight Howard. ( I’ve got myself a nice pair of Nike Air Force 25, too!)

Dwight Howard was wearing the SuperMan cape but the whole scene looked more like David and Goliath rather than Superman and Lex Luthor!?
