Prepare to step aside Segway, you had your chance to revolutionize personal transportation. Introducing the Toyota Winglet. Still under development, Winglet’s body has a 10.4 x 18-inch footprint and stands 1.5-, 2.2-, or 3.7-feet tall (depending upon the S, M, or L model chosen) and features an electric motor capable of a max 6km/h cruising speed for up to 10km a jaunt (only 5km for the S model). Like the Segway, the user controls the Winglet by shifting his weight to move the transporter forward and back or to make tight turns. Winglet will begin consumer testing at the Central Japan International Airport near Nagoya and Laguna Gamagori resort this Autumn with further testing in more crowded environments planned for 2009. It’s planned to hit a production stride in 2010.

Have you ever wonder how some of your friend MSN display picture is keep on changing like slide show, thanks to Messenger Plus Live! and with the scripts that make it possible. I only get to know this features from Wai Ling a friend’s of mine.

To have this feature, you need to download and install Messenger Plus Live here. During installation make sure you deselect the sponsor option, what does this sponsor do? It actually pop-up’s advertisement once a while and this is really annoying. After you have done the installation then you download the Picture Display Changer it here.

I got an email from ZYB mention that Vodafone have acquires their services on 16 May and still continue providing the services for free.

Vodafone* today announces that it has agreed to acquire 100% of ZYB, a privately-owned company based in Denmark which operates a social networking and online management tool enabling mobile phone users to back-up and share their handsets’ contact and calendar information online. The acquisition will be made for a cash consideration of Eur31.5 million.
