Boeing's 787 Dreamliner has been unveiled recently, thanks Wahoo84. The jet does not look radically new on the outside, but beneath the just-dried paint lies a structure 50 per cent made up of carbon composite materials and another 15 percent titanium, making the plane much lighter and fuel efficient than existing jetliners of the same size.

Read all about how the Power User's Computer of 1991 stacks up against current hardware here.

In germany MSN users are getting lots of messages with “meine heißen fotos” (my hot ..) and it installs a Trojan on your pc. There is another variant with “my myspace.. something as a message.. Might be worth a heads up!
Darkness sent in these cool pics, if fire were water. No idea how they did that. :)
