As I could tell in an audio podcast a few days ago, Belkin made it's European Press Presentation in Amsterdam on 22nd of August. What I told in this podcast is that I've been able to test the use of the new Wireless WiFi Belkin Skype Phone with my Mobile Phone which is equipped with WiFi and Windows Mobile. My mobile phone which works on GSM network is a quadriband Qtek 9100. As we were experiencing the new Belkin draft N router called N1, I wanted to see whether my personal mobile phone would be able to connect to the network and having connections to Internet or whatever. My Qtek was already configured with skype that I use at each time I have a WiFi connection. It could work with a GPRS connection but I pay the amount of data for this type of use In fact, seing the new Belkin skype phone at the same time was also a good occasion to test it as a mobile phone equipment of the home with another device which is a real mobile phone in the terms that it works normally on GSM network even when it is connected with WiFi. As you can see on the film shot on the press exhibition, the belkin mobile uses a nice small display which is easy to use because it has the same k (..less)

In 11.02.2006 (this Saturday) the diva of Turkish rock Sebnem Ferah was performing in Bostanci Gosteri Merkezi which is an important concert area in Istanbul Turkiye. She was singing her own songs, especailly from her last studio album: "Can Kiriklari". She also performed a cover after saying "I didn't do covers for a long time in Istanbul. Tonight I want to sing 'Gates of Bablyon' from Rainbow. Sometimes I make covers in my concerts, because I want you to learn where we come from. These groups and singers are our inspiration sources, teachers, reasons we begin to music and idols". Hearing Ronnie James Dio's lyrics from Sebnem Ferah's voice and Ritchie Blackmore's guitar solos from Metin Turkcan's guitar (he was a member of Pentagram which is a group known as MezarKabul in Europe) were preferential for Sebo fans. This historical moment was recorded by my mobile phone, however the recorder wasn't me. My friend Tolga recorded this with my mobile phone. He was at back and I think he doesn't know how to zoom with Sony Ericsson k700i. That's why the video's quality is bad. You don't have to watch. Just listen, because it is hard to see Sebnem Ferah in this video. However, I think you ha (..less)

This was filmed on my mobile phone, I apologise for the pixelations! The Giant house spider (Tegenaria duellica; formerly known as T. gigantea) is a member of the genus Tegenaria and is a close relative of both the Domestic house spider and the infamous Hobo spider. The bite of this species does not pose a threat to humans or pets. An established population of Giant house spiders is generally considered to be a deterrent to the establishment of a Hobo spider population. Giant house spiders compete with Hobo spiders for the same resources. Male Giant house spiders will often kill Hobo spiders and won't hesitate to make a meal of one. Up until 1987, the Giant house spider held the record as the fastest spider in the world. The record has since been awarded to a species of African Sun Spiders (Solifugae), which aren't actually spiders at all. The Giant house spider is indigenous to north western Europe and the pacific northwest of North America. The webs built by the Giant house spider are flat and messy with a funnel at one end. The spider lurks in the funnel until a small invertebrate happens to get trapped in the web, at which point the spider runs out and attacks it. T (..less)
