Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition

wwwgroo — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:36:09 +0000

The Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition (UltraTouch) mobile phone is Samsung’s new definition of the words “perfect” and “beautiful”. You can say that Samsung created a new word, and you should see how it pushes the boundries of superlatives. It has a 12.7 mm body stylized with designer arcs and a polyshed back on it’s brushed metal frame, elegance and style shine out when light hits it. The screen is a 2.8″ full-touch AMOLED screen, with infeasably vivid and bright colours for making your eyes happy.

It is protected with an anti-scratch and anti-smudge technology. If you prefer a 4×3 keypad to a touch screen, it slides out to uncover just that, although the touchscreen’s possibilities are used to the max in the user interface. 8 megapixel camera with LED flash and smile shot, GPS navigation connected with the picture taking software and HDSPA 7,2 Mbps line to the internet increase the carat density of this diamond! Samsung’s directors are proud of it, you get it and you will be too.

Bee crash in Canada

A truck traveling with 330 crates of bees in tow took a turn for the worse when it ran right into a ramp on Saint-Leonard, earlier in July of this year. Instead of their intended goal of pollinating blueberries, the truck full of buzzers came to filling the streets.

Nobody was hurt but the poor reporters, who endured a few minimal stings as a result of covering this event. As a coincidental and helpful act of god, rain came flowing from the sky in ample amounts, helping to lower the bee population in that area (Bees, inimically, hate rain). Thanks to the help of dozens of highly-trained beekeepers, plenty survived and were headed back to their source destination of Ontario, finding a happy hive to enjoy.
