Abandoned TV tower in Russia
This photo set just gave me the willies. It an abandoned television tower in Russia.
The blurb from the blog states:
Highest abandoned television tower on Russia - 350 meters.
It's a little bit higher than Eiffel tower in Paris. Was bult in 1990s. Used by base-jumpers.
Some photos from bottom to top and then top to ground. Wind, clouds, ice. 2 hours for going up, and 1 hour to go down.
Kogan Agora Android Phone
The second Google Android phone has surfaced and it's in the classic Blackberry shape and it comes from Down Under from a company called Kogan. It's called the Agora Pro and is on sale now for $399 AUS or £175 without lock or contract. Great news for the masses that want to get their hands on the new OS and its, from personal experience, great applications.
