A Ring Tone We Couldn't Hear, But Teenagers Might

,



I believe this is the most interesting news I've ever seen on digg.com. A genius thought! A ring tone that grown-up may couldn't hear while most teenager can!

You wonder if it's fact ot just April fool stuff. Well I guess we can all recall what our teacher taught us about the limit of human ear on the sound frequency -- we can only hear some certain frequency range of sound. But what your teacher probably forgot to tell you is that human's audition can be downgrade with the growing of age which mean we'll lose the ability to hear some sounds that we used to be able to hear when you grow up. A sad fact I must say :frown:

Now, somebody is taking advantage of this! Some British kids produce a ultra-high sound which is audible to guys under 20 only into a ring tone that can be use in their cell phone! That means, people who is over 20 will most probably doesn't even aware the existence of this ring tone! That sounds like enigmatical.

I gave this ring tone a test drive, very unfortunately all I hear was a some kind of buzz which makes me feel uncomfortable. God maybe I'm really old now :eyes: LOL So guys if you wanna give a try, try this mp3 file, tell you if you can or can not hear this ring tone. To make you feel better if you fail by chance, I'm the first one that I know fail to hear this ring tone (well, I haven't told this to anyone else yet :D ).

China's Hottest Online Games Slideshow

China's Hottest Online Games

The online, interactive game craze in China continues to astound analysts. The market for fantasy and adventure "massively multiplayer online role-playing games" (MMORPGs) shot up 54% to $460 million in 2005, and research firm IDC predicts China will overtake South Korea as the biggest Asian market for this type of Net entertainment by next year.

This could be a $2.1 billion market in China by the end of the decade if current growth rates hold up. In recent years, imported games from Japan and South Korea, home to big game-designer communities, tended to be most popular in China. But that is starting to change. Online companies such as Shanda Interactive Entertainment and NetEase.com have developed popular and competitive games of their own. Here is a sampling of what's hot with online gamers on the mainland.

Wonderful Danish Cookies

, ,

It really tests good, I bet it's way better than all those Chinese cookies I've ever had, really a killer.



That's right, I'm talking about the cookies I just had and shared with my roommate which is labeled with 'Imported From Denmark' on its package. These mysterious characters obviously rises my curiosity as I quite interest in stuff when it happens to related to Denmark these days since I made two Dane friends. As you always know, in this kind of critical time Google is the best trustable friend to help us out. It didn't take me long before I figured out the site of this cookie manufacturer. Yes, it's actual directly imported from Denmark, and we've even got a Chinese/English website to represent these delicious, high quality yet expensive (I guess but never know for sure since these cookies were taken from my parents' place) Denmark-imported cookies. Interesting.

It's sad that those cookies had all run out now. I guess if I see the exact same cookie in the store next time, I would buy a lot of them immediately :yes:

Denmark made, great! :cheers:

2 Become 1, the MV

, ,



I would never forget about this amazing MV: 2 Become 1.

It was back in high school when I watched this MV for the very first time. I can still recall that scene, it was at one of my buddies' place in a regular afternoon, we got together to watch prono (well, we were all that young weren't we?), it turned out that one of them turned on the LD player and TV set and guess what? Tt was the MV of 2 Become 1 which was aired. We were all shock to see this amazing MV since it built such a visional scene that our five pretty girls looked like angels living in it, it looks like just like a dream ... :D

It's been about eight (seven or nine?) years since I first watched this MV, and I never stop looking for a high-quality version of this MV. Unfortunately I falied for so many years due to the lacking of resources and the ability to get the rest of resources which were hidden somewhere else :frown:

But now, it's like a dream comes true. I'm downloading a vob version of this incredible MV from Internet right now (in case you have no idea what vob is, vob is a encoding tech that provides DVD-like quality motive picture in personal computer),only some time is needed to finish the process, thanks to the P2P technology. Viva :yes:

Guys, if you've ever moved by this MV, let's watch it once again, let's not forget about this amazing MV and of course, the forever Spice Girls.

Crazy Airplane Landing

China Air Aerop... Landing, Funny
Get this video and more at MySpace.com This is absolutely crazy, I wonder which airliner it was? I've been flied many airliners but I still can't tell which airliner it was since this video labeled 'China Air Aerop... Landing, Funny'. This is horrible, I think I would avoid buying ticket from this airliner as soon as I find out which one it was.

Lonely Planet Arrives!

, , , ...

Those two Lonely Planet books have just arrived. I've got the books! The package is serious damaged (thanks to China Post), but the books inside are just fine. I'm so exciting! Yeah! :D :yes:
