Free Ericsson Laptop


today i received this email from my fellow friend.
below is the content of the email.

Re: Free Ericsson Laptop

Dear all

Ericsson is distributing free laptops for their brand promotion. They hope to increase their popularity and sale by this campaign. All you need to do is send an email about this promotion to 8 people and you will receive an Ericsson T18 Laptop. However, if you send an email to 20 or more people, you will receive an Ericsson R320 Laptop.

Make sure you cc to Anna at Ericsson so that she will know you have sent the e-mail.

from the sound of it.
i believe it is too good to be true.
i do not know any of the company who is offering free stuff from this kind of method.
but, still people love free stuff. (me too!)
to me, it seems like an email pranks especially to this “Anna at Ericson”.
i am sure her inbox will be filled with this email. tons of it.
ps.: sory to be “Anna at Ericson”

Some Basic Facts About Formula One (F1)

F1 car is made up of 80,000 components, if it were assembled 99.9% correctly, it would still start the race with 80 things wrong

When an F1 driver hits the brakes on his car he experiences retardation or deceleration comparable to a regular car driving through a BRICK wall at 300km/h

F1 car can go from 0 to 160 km/h AND back to 0 in FOUR seconds

F1 car engines last only for about 2 hours of racing mostly before blowing up on the other hand we expect our engines to last us for a decent 20yrs on an average and they quite faithfully DO….that’s the extent to which the engines are pushed to perform…

An average F1 driver looses about 4kgs of weight after just one race due to the prolonged exposure to high G forces and temperatures for little over an hour (Yeah that’s right!!!)

At 550kg a F1 car is less than half the weight of a Mini.

To give you an idea of just how important aerodynamic design and added down force can be, small planes can take off at slower speeds than F1 cars travel on the track.

Without aerodynamic down force, high-performance racing cars have sufficient power to produce wheel spin and loss of control at 160 kph. They usually race at over 300 km/h.

In a street course race like the Monaco grand prix, the down force provides enough suction to lift manhole covers. Before the race all of the manhole covers on the streets have to be welded down to prevent this from happening!

The refuelers used in F1 can supply 12 liters of fuel per second. This means it would take just 4 seconds to fill the tank of an average 50 liter family car. They use the same refueling rigs used on US military helicopters today.

TOP F1 pit crews can refuel and change tyres in around 3 seconds. It took me 8 sec to read above point

During the race the tyres lose weight! Each tyre loses about 0.5 kg in weight due to wear.

Normal tyres last 60 000 – 100 000 km. Racing tyres are designed to last 90 – 120 km.

dry-weather F1 tyre reaches peak operating performance (best grip) when tread temperature is between 900C and 1200C.(Water boils boils at 100C remember) At top speed, F1 tyres rotate 50 times a second.

And that’s not Magic…
Its only a game…!

New Proton’s MPV Spyshot


the convoy

1st test car

2nd test car

satria neo test car?

i took these pictures as on my way to banting town.
the convoy consisted of one persona, two test mpv, and a satria neo.
(hmm.. did proton plan to have a face lift to satria neo also? i didn’t know.)
as usual the test car was black-out in color in most of the exterior.
it look like almost like naza citra. (not as big as i thought it will be)
but i only managed to take the rear view of the mpv as i drove passed the convoy.
when do proton plan to launch their new “family” member to the market?
how much it will cost? did anyone have any ideas?

here is the show room mockup spyshot of the mpv.


side view


front view


rear view

can’t wait for the launch.
ps.: hopefully proton will tackle the quality issue!
