Google have remembered the 25th anniversary of the ‘Buckyball’ with an interactive doodle on their homepage today. While conducting research into Buckyballs and their inventor – renowned architectural modeller Buckminster Fuller, I discovered one of the coolest desktop toys I have ever seen in my life. Despite being such a cool theoretical and practical concept, lots of people are unaware of exactly what a Buckyball is. Buckyballs belong to a class of molecules known as “Buckminsterfullerene”, which is also known as simply fullerene. These molecules are made entirely of carbon and come in the form of either a hollow sphere, an ellipsoid, or a tube. The term buckyball is used to describe the spherical versions of these molecules, and they have a number of very interesting chemical, electronic, and technological applications. Buckyballs have been used in a number of nanotechnology studies, and have greatly expanded the number of known carbon allotropes known to man. And – as if that wasn’t enough – they are also the inspiration behind a cool and very additctive new desktop toy . Zoomdoggle have released their very own Buckyballs, a highly addictive toy made from a set of 216 powerful rare Earth magnets. What makes this toy so cool is that these magnets can be shaped and arranged in unlimited ways, so there is no chance of you getting bored and no risk of getting get back to work any time soon. Whether in terms of groundbreaking science or simple desktop fun, buckyballs are so cool because of their flexibility in design. There are already hundreds of different combinations of these interlocking pentagon/hexagon formations that have been found in the natural world, and with a little time on your hands, I’m sure that you can find some unique combinations of your own with the help of this new toy, which is only $29.95 and available from getbuckyballs.com Copyright
Apple’s new music-centred social network – Ping – has 1 million new users in only 2 days of operation. However, while that number may appear impressive, it pales in comparison to the launch of related networks such as Google Buzz. Ping has been designed as a feature of iTunes 10, and as such it keeps very much to the Apple “in-house” philosophy. There are a few reasons why this new Apple network is not living up to expectations, including a large spam problem and the lack of any real integration with Facebook. Overall though, there seems to be a deeper problem with the initialisation of new social networks, and the lack of any real motivation for new users to make any effort. Google managed much better than Apple with its launch of Google Buzz , which had 10s of millions of users within the first 2 days of operation. However, it too suffered from similar teething problems in the first few weeks. While Google and Apple may be the big players within their own fields, it seems they are almost paralysed when trying to compete with big names like Facebook in the social networking arena. Ping is the latest example of another social network that is not particularly versatile, offering nothing really new but still requiring users to make an investment in learning and navigation. New Ping users have to navigate their own way through this network, without much in the way of support or motivation. Steve Jobs has said he rejected the “onerous terms” for integration demanded by Facebook, but it looks – at least initially – like Ping is going to struggle without any Facebook support. I can’t help but think Apple’s attitude of ‘keeping everything in house’ is getting old and is showing signs of hurting them. While there is no doubt Apple have been responsible for a number of innovations in recent times, the launch of Ping is yet another example that they can’t do everything by themselves – no matter how much they seem to want to.

‘I don’t like it when they use female models for the men shows ’ wrote someone in one forum. They were referring to Andrej Pejic , the male model who has had a lot of people guessing during Pairs Mens Fashion week. The Melbourne native has brought his androgynous beauty to big big brand shows in this, his debut fashion week. See from above left his appearances in John Galliano, Jean Paul Gaultier, Raff Simmons and Paul Smith. He’s pretty for sure but he also has a cheeky glint in his eye. Model Andrej Pejic from Melbourne Australia turns heads where ever he goes, often leaving bystanders guessing and wondering. And if the truth be known he actually enjoys all the attention and even plays up to it, and enjoys dressing up . And he seems to have emerged at a time when androgyny has never been more topical. When he arrived in London earlier on this year he immediately got signed up with Storm Models . And the pay off is just beginning to happen as he seems to be all the talk after the recent Spring/Summer Fashion Shows in Paris. He turned heads and created a lot of attention at the John Galliano and Jean Paul Gaultier Shows .

Think These Are Female Model? Guess again
It seems that Toshiba laptops are hot property at the moment but not in a good way, as the governments of Canada and the US have stated that Toshiba is implementing a voluntary recall for some of the popular Satellite models, because there is a burn risk to users. According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and its northern counterpart Health Canada, the issue with the Toshiba Satellite laptop is due to a faulty component, so far this issue appears to be only affecting Satellite T135, Satellite T135D and Satellite Pro T130 models. Toshiba are working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in order to resolve the overheating issue for consumers. However, so far, it seems that the best they have come up with is voluntary recall of the affected laptops. Here is the extended list of the affected Toshiba Satellite laptops: Satellite T135D-S1326, T135D-SP2012L, T135-SP2909R, T135D-SP2012M, T135-SP2013L, T135-SP2013M, T135D-S1322, T135-S1330, T135D-S1328WH, T135D-S1328RD, T135D-S1328, T135D-S1327, T135D-S1325WH, T135D-S1325RD, T135D-S1325, T135D-S1324, T135D-S1320, T135-SP2911R, T135-S1312, T135-S1310WH, T135-S1310RD, T135-S1310, T135-S1309, T135-S1307, T135-S1305WH, T135-S1305RD, T135-S1305, T135-S1300WH, T135-S1300RD, T135-S1300, T135-SP2911C, T135-SP2911A, T135-SP2910R, T135-SP2910C, T135-SP2910A, T135-SP2909C, T135-SP2909A. Satellite Pro T130-W1302, T130-EZ1301 These laptops were sold through online retailers as well as stores over a period from August 2009 to August of this year; the price would have been between $600 and $800. It is estimated that there are around forty one thousand laptops worldwide affected by this problem. This overheating product recall follows the announcement that Toshiba had received around 130 complaints of overheating, with some stating that the plastic casing around the AC adapter plug unit had started to melt. This clearly represents a burn hazard and as such this warning and voluntary recall is fully justified. In the mean time Toshiba has released BIOS revisions for consumers, once installed it will disable the external power input should there be a failure, but this will mean that the internal battery cannot be recharged once it has run down.
