This phone will be powered by 1Ghz powerful Samsung Orion processor, features a beautiful 4.3 inch AMOLED clear display, we are not sure yet whether the display glass will be gorilla glass which is resistive to scratches and breaking. Display comes with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels which is still not in any way near to iphone 4 but still AMOLED displays looks nice with great viewing angles and produces great contrasts between colors. It will run on android 2.3 ginger bread OS, which will support flash on browsers. From the connectivity end it will support 3g, GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth 3.0, wifi and USB. It has a 8 megapixels camera which will support 1080p video recording and should take great quality pictures as well. There is also a 1.3megapixel front facing camera which will support video chatting and video calls. 1GB RAM should easily take care of intense multi tasking and great processing speed. Some of the other details we managed to gather about this mobile so far is, it will weigh less about 118g and has thickness of 8.49mm, this phone will also have a curved look much like Nexus S.

There are very few young actors who would fit the bill of a leading lady opposite Ranbir. After weeks of auditioning, it seems that Yash Raj has zeroed down on Shazahn Padamsee, thanks to her credentials,” a source said.

New Faces of Bollywood
Mahie Gill: She may well hold the record for being a debutante with the most number of releases in a single year. First, she managed to catch everyone's attention as the new age Paro in Dev D, a modern-day take on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel Devdas. Later, she impressed in Anurag Kashyap's next film Gulaal. She is a complete natural and one would love to see more of her. She also featured in the duds Aagey Se Right and Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas.
Kalki Koechlin: Born to French parents Kalki as a modern day Chandramukhi showed how to get the sensuality in place in Dev D. Good acting skills did not harm her cause.
Giselle Monteiro: She was the hidden treasure for the entire team of Love Aaj Kal. With her identity being unveiled only after the release of the film, she made countrywide news once it was declared that she was a Brazilian in the garb of a Punjabi soni kudi.
Sheena Shahabadi: For Sheena, what worked most was the author-backed role that she got in Tere Sang. Playing a 15-year-old who was looking at exploring life to the fullest, she was easily the star of the show and came up with a bravura act that made Tere Sangbelievable.
Shruti Haasan: If there was one quintessential Bollywood material that arrived in 2009, it was Shruti Haasan. However, the really poor script ofLuck ruined the pretty girl's chances of starting off her Bollywood outing with a smash hit. She has the body, the looks and the attitude. All she needs now is another good opportunity on a decent enough platform.
Nausheen Ali Sardar: In a small film, Three - Love, Lies, Betrayal, which unfortunately went totally unnoticed, Nausheen made a good switch from TV (Kkusum) to the big screen. Her role demanded her to look sad and worn out in every scene, but she didn't complain. However, she didn't miss a chance when she found a good stage to demonstrate histrionics, especially during the final moments of the film.
The Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut is a 5th generation Russion Fighter Plane. Berkut stands for Golden Eagle in Russian.It's still an experimental supersonicjet fighter developed by Sukhoi Aviation Corporation.Originally known as the S-37, Sukhoi redesignated its advanced test aircraft as the Su-47 in 2002. Officially nicknamed Berkut (Golden Eagle), the Su-47 was originally built as Russia's principal testbed for composite materials and sophisticated fly-by-wire control systems. The aircraft makes use of forward-swept wings allowing superb maneuverability and operation at angles of attack up to 45° or more.
TsAGI has long been aware of the advantages of forward-swept wings, with research including the development of the Tsibin LL and study of the captured Junkers Ju 287 in the 1940s. Forward-swept wings yield a higher maximum lift coefficient, reduced bending moments, and delayed stall when compared to more traditional wing shapes. At high angles of attack, the wing tips remain unstalled allowing the aircraft to retain aileron control. Unfortunately, forward sweep also induces twisting (divergence) strong enough to rip the wings off an aircraft built of conventional materials. Only recently have composite materials made the design of aircraft with forward-swept wings feasible.
The project was launched in 1983 on order from the USSR AF. But then, with the crash of the USSR funding was frozen and development continued only being funded by Sukhoi. Like its US counterpart, the Grumman X-29, the Su-47 is primarily a technology demonstrator, one intended to lay the foundation for the next Russian fighter. Such a fighter must not only be as advanced as the US F-22 Raptor, but must also compete for funding with the more conventional MiG 1.44. However, Sukhoi is now attempting to market the Su-47 to the Russian military and foreign customers as a production fighter in its own right.
The Su-47 is of similar dimensions to previous large Sukhoi fighters, such as the Su-35. To reduce development costs, the Su-47 borrowed the forward fuselage, vertical tails, and landing gear of the Su-27family. Nonetheless, the aircraft includes reduced radar signature features (including radar absorbent materials), an internal weapons bay, and space set aside for an advanced radar. Though similar in overall concept to the American X-29 research aircraft of the 1980s, the Su-47 is about twice the size and far closer to an actual combat aircraft than the US design.
To solve the problem of wing-twisting, the Su-47 makes use of composite materials carefully tailored to resist twisting while still allowing the wing to bend for improved aerodynamic behavior. Due to its comparatively large wingspan, the Su-47 is to be equipped with folding wings, in order to fit inside Russian hangars.
Like its immediate predecessor, the Su-37, the Su-47 is of tandem-triplane layout, with canards ahead of wings and tailplanes. Interestingly, the Su-47 has two tailbooms of unequal length outboard of the exhaust nozzles. The shorter boom, on the left-hand side, houses rear-facing radar, while the longer boom houses a brake parachute.
