Want to get your significant other a one-of-a-kind holiday gift this year? As one expert states - “Dinosaurs are hotter than ever. It is a very collectible market especially for higher quality specimens”.

Now’s your chance to pick up an exceptionally well-preserved 65 million year old fossilized dino nest. To top it off, it even has some eggs broken open exposing tiny dino skeletons inside!

The nest is going up on the auction block soon and expected to fetch a mere $200K. Get the details on Reuters News.

Scientists have previously experimented successfully with levitating small amounts of liquid or solid such as iridium and mercury in an attempt to find a method of transporting or storing corrosive materials without allowing the material to physically contact the container.

Now they’re upping the ante to levitating live animals and bugs, including ladybugs, a spider, ant, beetle and a fish! They levitated each for about 30 minutes without many issues with the exception of the fish not fairing too well being out of water so long (they did try adding water to the space via a syringe periodically!).

Police took up pursuit in cyberspace after a young Norwegian posted on the Internet video of his wild car driving. Following an electronic trail that he left online, police caught him and slapped him with a real-life fine $1,300.

According to the videos the 20 year old suspect was posting, his speedometer would get to 150MPH/240KPH while cruising the Oslo highway.

Lesson learned - “loose lips sink ships”, or something like that. Seriously people, if you’re doing something naughty, either get really hardcore about ensuring your anonymity or don’t brag about it.

CoffeeGeek has just posted a great article on how to brew a great Turkish coffee.

While you’re there, check out their Holiday Gift List and Silent Auction. They have some great Coffee related holiday gifts for the newbie to the experience Latte artist; you can search for gifts in categories based on price range as well. I found an interesting Kenyan coffee I may get as a gift for the family.

InstaCalc is a new, refreshingly different calculator. It’s also fast!

It’s not so sophisticated that you can plot equations, but you can do something on the order of a home budget, wesite bandwidth usage, salary, etc… There are basically two areas of interaction you have with the site.

One is the area you enter in variables, their value and sometimes equations in rows.

The second area is an alternative display method for results. If you’re comparing results you can have it converted to charts - Pie, Bar and Line charts.

Here’s an example for video game hardware sales.
