Photos from the Galapagos Islands

clipper's remarks: This is a place I would like to go someday.

By now you may have seen my 60 Second Videos from the Galapagos Islands. As promised, here is a sample of photos from the trip. The rectangular photos were shot by me, and the beautiful ethereal square photos were shot by Ellen. I think several of her photos, which she shot with a $23 Holga camera, are far more beautiful than mine, which I shot with equipment that cost a hell of a lot more. You can see more of both our photos in slide-show form here.

Exploding iPhones? Use at your own risk.

clipper's remarks: Well, I guess people won't be opening up their iPhones after that, no no.

Earlier today we noted that while successful hardware-based iPhone unlocks are taking place all over the world (Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Germany, etc), some users are apparently doing damage to their units that will almost certainly not be covered under Apple’s warranty.

Now what appears to be the most serious case of iPhone unlock attempt-gone-awry has surfaced.

“We were so happy, all the software part was done, so we started opening the iphone. The antenna cover was a bit tricky but eventually it came off. Then we started to open the metal cover (after taking out the 3 screws) and PUFF, up it went in smoke, I think my collegue must have touched something. It literally went up in black smoke. I was so hot that when I tried to pick it up I burnt my fingers. So, this is for sure the most difficult part of the whole process. I don’t know what he did, as I had just stepped out of the room to fetch something when I heard a scream…they got such a fright.”

Unlock at your own risk.

Too sad that they'll have to be separated, it's really rare to see something like this, and the good part is that people can learn with this too.

No differences, friendship is above it all.

Unusual Friendship

A pair of month-old Sumatran tiger twins have become inseparable playmates with a set of young orangutans, an unthinkable match in their natural jungle habitat in Indonesia’s tropical rainforests.

The friendship between 5-month-old female baby primates Nia and Irma, and cubs Dema and Manis, has blossomed at the Taman Safari zoo where they share a room in the nursery.

”When the time comes, they will have to be separated. It’s sad, but we cant’ change their natural behavior,” she said. ”Tigers start eating meat when they are three months old.”

”This is unusual and would never happen in the wild,” said zoo keeper Sri Suwarni, bottle-feeding a baby chimp on Wednesday. ”Like human babies, they only want to play.”

Prehistoric sea dragon found

Prehistoric 'sea dragon' found

"Sea dragons" were common when the sea was warmer

The remains of a prehistoric monster have been found on the east coast of Yorkshire.

The plesiosaur, which resembles the Loch Ness monster, dates back to the beginning of the Cretaceous period 130 million years ago.

Known as the "sea dragon", it would have had a round short body, four flippers, a short tail and a very long neck with a small head.

The creature was found by amateur palaeontologist Nigel Armstrong when he stumbled across the bones sticking out of the cliff face just south of Filey.

The skeleton shows this particular specimen measured four-metres in length.

Experts excavated the bones

A team of palaeontogists has spent the last week excavating the remains, which are now in the hands of Scarborough Museums and Gallery.

Dinosaur coast project officer, Will Watts, told BBC News Online: "The place where this discovery came from is well known for fossils but not skeletons and the bones were in really good condition."

It will take up to a year for scientists to clean and record the findings, comparing the bones with those of other creatues.
