    what a widely pointless and equally amazing piece of kit. Is it a spoof or is this real? How the hell could they drill the whole way into the earths crust or get fibre optics long enough? A spoof by my book but cool none the less.

    EDIT - i'm baffled. They can transmit images down broadband cable?


    spoof...can't imagine mirrors or earth's crust stuff...but then how is it?!

    I googled the man behind it...soo, here is the official site:

    http://blog.telectroscope.org/

    the man claims it's a tunnel which was started by his great grandfather or something, between the two cities...he then completed it and made this thing out of it, check this out:
    http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/21/arts/design/21tele.html?8dpc
    he even used that drill to make his 'tunnel' story look true:



    But then the article here http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23746397-2,00.html says that the people behind it claim it to be fiber optic cables...
    man...I don't know!!
  4. the drill story is obviously just a fantasy type story to spice it up a little. How is it possible to drill through the earth's crust. I'm sure the fibre optic cable theory is true. They could send light down those cables years ago so I suppose it was only so long before they had images flying through the.

    Cool none the less

    EDIT- - ''in association with tiscali'' lol
  5. Now this one's nice:




  6. sounds like fun to me!!
    looks great!! haha!
  7. Just a big telescope or pipe, that you can see through to some other country or region with fibre-optic cables that run through the bottom of the earth.

    Just what everyone needs...surely they've got better ways to spend money. Like on something useful.
  8. $787000 ... no kidding
  9. You know what you could spend that on? Donating it to charity - or donating towards the American health system to improve it.

    Because I hear it's shit.



    If news.com.au tells you something, take it very, very, very carefully - and the New York Times as well. Both are biased to no end. News.com.au is partly owned by News Limited who I wouldn't trust if they were the last news source on earth. Plenty of inaccuracy, no accuracy whatsoever.

    Really, it's a nice idea and all...but what's more important? Looking at others in London and writing to them, or putting it towards something useful.

    Hi!
    I'm going to buy myself a ipod nano from Production Red and thought to ask if anyone have a suggestion on what to write on the backside of the ipod. I will have Dream out Loud on but I have room for something more. And I can't decide or come up with something good xD
    Of course i'm thinking about something U2-realted. To someone now about some nice quote or lyric?

  11. I want to run
    I want to hide


    thats what I have on mine
