Apple Inc is set to launch a new 11.6-inch MacBook Air, an Intel Core i-series ultra-low voltage processor and a new iPod Touch in the second half of 2010.
The new generation of devices will be manufactured by Quanta Computer, according to a senior analyst at Digitimes Research.
The 11.6-inch MacBook Air will feature “an even slimmer and lighter design than the previous-generation models.”
* Smaller form factor. Particularly, it will become an 11.6 incher coming from the smallest macbook yet which is 13.3 inch. * It will use an SSD card instead of the conventional hard-drisk drive (HDD). This was said to be the secret ingredient to make the form factor of the new macbook smaller. * Since it used an SSD card, its rebooting time will be faster; comparable to Apple’s handheld units (e.g: iPod, iPhone and iPad) * It may use another type of processor rather than the usual Intel brand. The leak suggests Apple may do a partnership with AMD to launch a newly customized processor for this device, thus making the form factor even smaller. * Now that the size is smaller and it will use an SSD and AMD type of processor. There’s a big chance that this device will even become cheaper as well.
The Republic of Molossia is world's smallest sovereign republic. Governed by President Kevin Baugh for over 30 years, this progressive micronation has a population of six: Kevin, his two sons and three dogs. This half-hectare of land near Dayton, Nevada may look like just another home in the US desert, but it is in fact the country of Molossia - the world's smallest sovereign republic.
Molossia has a space program, and by that we mean they have a store-bought telescope and some toy rockets with a camera attached to them. We have to admit that looks like fun.
You need a passport to visit it, Molossia has its own postal service and its own currency (made from poker chips) and that’s pretty much all there is to know or to see.
The country has its own postal poice.

You need a visa on your passport to gain entry.

New to the smallest man in the world recognized Colombian Edward Nino Hernandez. His height is only 70 centimeters and weighs 10 kilograms. Prior to that, the youngest was a Chinese Ho Pinpin. And then, as it turned out not on the right, the growth Pinpina was 4 cm longer. Unfortunately, the Chinaman died on 13 March and had to seek new official champion.

Locomotive are out of use simply because they pollute too much and waste approximately 60% of the energy generated by using coal. However, those who love the old glories, Japan is the right place to feel those days when locomotives were used. However, the one we’re talking about isn’t a big one but the smallest. Running on pieces of charcoal stuffed into the engine, the smallest locomotive runs on 100 meter long track built alongside the Hanshin railway next to Iwaya Park. The locomotive is capable enough to ferry around 15-20 people at a time with a maximum speed of 7-10 km per hour. Sadly, we don’t know as to who built it or what inspired the creator, but images and video attached here are enough for anyone to appreciate this amazing marvel.
The World’s Smallest Postal Service was created by San-Francisco-based postmistress Lea Redmond, who decided to put the crazy idea into practice as soon as it popped into her head. She just strapped her small desk to her back, hopped on her bicycle and set-up shop in one of the local cafes. Since then she’s come to realize many other people are simply charmed by her miniature postal service.
At the World’s Smallest Postal Service, your letters are written in tiny letters, carefully wrapped and sealed with a miniature was-stamp bearing the sender’s initial. To make sure the tiny messages don’t get lost in the traditional mail, they are packed in transparent envelopes equipped with a magnifying glass for identifying the mailing address.
For Valentine’s Day the mailing rates at the World’s Smallest Postal Service are: $8 plus shipping for letters, and $10 plus shipping for small packages containing an antique china button and a note saying ” You are as cute as a…”
