Crazy, Cool and Weird Stuff

Blue strawberry is now available in real life. Scientists have try to come up with a way for strawberry to not degrade after being left in a freezer. While doing their research, the group of scientists discover an anti-freezing gene in Arctic Flounder Fish and use that to genetically modify the strawberry.

Some concerns regarding this genetically modified strawberry are raised including the nutritional content and allergy. As for now, researchers created the blue strawberry for the purpose of research, not for production. So, for anti-GMO out there, just don't go on a demo just yet.

p/s: Somehow i wonder why they change red to blue. Last time there was an announcement saying that blue roses are now available and now, the strawberries. 

The combination of air and land transport certainly would be the best for those who love to drive but hate the traffic. Well, Terrafugia, an American corporation has developed what would appear to be the first affordable flying car.


Equipped with foldable wing, Transition can moves 65 mph while on road and 115 mph while on air. Transition first successful take off was on 2009 with the supervision of FAA. Check this video out to see Transition's ability on both air and land.


Despite its ability as transportation vehicle, spectators expect that the cost for mass production of Transition will exceed the selling price, which is at 280 000 USD. I think most of the money is spent on extremely light and expensive carbon fiber. Since it falls under light-sport aircraft, you're gonna need to have a sport pilot license in order to fly.

All in all, this is a good way of showing that the world's technology is advancing. Personally, i like the hoverbike more. Read more about hoverbike news here.
