A technology company named as Virgin Galactic (which owned also famous recording and music company Virgin Records before) makes serious steps to start their space tourism flights with the latest successful tests of rocket motor which will send their ship SpaceShipTwo into suborbital space. This motor uses hybrid Nitrous Oxide system to pass the 4000kmh and capable of sending amateur astronauts to approx. 110km from the Earth surface. The company states that the motor is totally controllable and safe eventhough it operates in the extreme speeds.

Interestingly, SpaceShipTwo will be launched to space from upper atmosphere making the launch environmentally less destructive while the traditional ground-launch spaceships contribute to pollution in higher degrees.

In their official website Virgin Galactic, there is an application form for space flight booking. Hey, it is ironically cheap for total silence of space, non-gravity and saying a hi to blue sphere from far, at least for me Be quick to make your reservation. It will cost you $200,000 for a ticket and $20,000 deposit is enough for a guaranteed seat. I hope amateur commercial flights to space will not stay as a dream for long.

Amazon is working hard to develop new better versions of Kindle. While the storm of Kindle 2 didn’t become silent yet, Amazon made another surprise by introducing 9.7″ version of Kindle Wireless Reading Device and accepting pre-orders. The device named as Kindle DX will be released this summer and will be sold according to first come first served principle. According to Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, this big version will help reading newspapers, maps, graphs and magazines better. The text and images are much sharper and PDF format is now naturally supported without any need of conversions. You can see the size difference in the photos below.

They have added also an iPhone-like function. When you turn the device the display will follow it. Portrait to landscape or the opposite, and all the text and images will be resized accordingly automatically. It has advantage of viewing graphs in more detail and easy way.

All old features of Kindle are reserved including 3G, WiFi and text to speech technology. The storage size is now around 3500 books. Kindle 2 had around 1500 books capacity.

The only negative I can say that Kindle DX weighs almost double of Kindle. Exactly 535g. But, I think many people will neglect this and buy Kindle DX because of its high quality and features where other hi-tech companies can not even approach to compete against.

I was thinking that home PCs will never be such effective eventually after the release of tons of notebook and netbook models in latest 3 years.

Asus made me take my words back with EEE TOP touchscreen PC. It is a real slim designed multimedia enjoyment and easy communication device. I think the best place for this would be kitchen. I like the idea of eating and surfing freely in Internet just by touching and not fighting with mouse at all (built-in wireless high-speed connectivity)

1.6 GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, Screen size 15.6 in., max. resolution 1366×678,  SRS hi-fi speakers, 5 USB ports, 1.3 megapixel web cam, Windows XP home edition, included stylus, wired mouse and wired keyboard features are enough for most simple tasks like watching films, browsing in Internet, checking emails, video chat through web cam and connecting other devices. Surely, if you plan to enjoy those electricity monster 3D games, this is not your device.
