Geotag Tech SMS will help you trace your friend's pinpoint location.

"Studies have shown that 'Where are you?' is the single most commonly sent SMS," said doctoral student Matthew Kwan from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University's school of mathematical and geospatial sciences in Australia.

Techies have developed a method for embedding Global Positioning System coordinates in an SMS message.

The technique, known as geotagging, can transmit a mobile phone's position.

It works by placing location identifiers in the text, for example - I'm at the pub geo:-37.801631,144.980294.

Again, China owes a high speed train record.

Previously on June 24, 2008, China had also set a world record with the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed train reaching a max speed of 394.3 km per hour.

Now, again a high-speed train in China has set a new world speed record during a trial run.

The train touched a maximum speed of 416.6 km per hour on its journey on Tuesday between Shanghai and Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, Xinhua reported.

The train is designed to run at a speed of 350 km per hour on the 202-km-long track between the two cities. A one-way journey previously took two hours. But the new train would lessen that to around 40 minutes, officials said.

Again, China owes a high speed train record.

Japan's vending machines sells umbrellas, flowers,cooked meals and try to read minds.

(AFP) Tokyo: They sell umbrellas, flowers and cooked meals, cough up cool drinks after earthquakes and even try to read your mind. They are Japan's five million vending machines.

Scattered across the country, the automated stores are about as ubiquitous as traffic lights and offer an ever-widening, dizzying palette of goods.

Thanks to Japan's low crime rate, companies have placed them everywhere, from neon-lit city centres to the icy summit of Mount Fuji, with little risk of them being burgled and relieved of their rich coin vaults.

“They are so convenient, I wish I had one in my room,” said 18-year-old Tokyo resident Hibiki Miura, who like many Japanese finds it hard to imagine modern civilisation without the handy helpers.

(CNN) Google had come with new tool which tell the user that which country had suppressed or requested for the censorship. The tool called Google Transparency, the online report shows that internet censorship around the world is increasing over time, and not always in the countries you'd expect, said Dorothy Chou, a Google policy analyst who worked on the project.

"The threat to internet freedom has actually been growing over the past few years," she said, noting that the United States generally bucks that trend by supporting open online communication.

Google Transparency includes an interactive map where users can see how many requests countries have made for Google to block or remove content.

This online tool also lets users explore internet up-time in specific countries for specific Google-owned websites.

Facebook denies building a Smartphone.

After a Tech site Techcrunch reported that facebook may be developing a mobile phone secretly, heart beats of gizmo lovers were raised.

But the company says it s not true. In an e-mail, Jamie Schopflin, a Facebook spokeswoman, said the company is, and has for some time, been developing various features and services to integrate its social functions into various mobile phones and applications. But, she wrote, Facebook is not building a phone.

Here is more of her e-mail:

Our approach has always been to make phones and apps more social. Current projects include everything from an HTML5 version of the site to apps on major platforms to full Connect support with SDKs to deeper integrations with some manufacturers. Our view is that almost all experiences would be better if they were social, so integrating deeply into existing platforms and operating systems is a good way to enable this. For an example, check out Connect for iPhone and the integration we have with contact syncing through our iPhone app. Another example is the INQ1 phone with Facebook integration (the first so-called Facebook Phone ). The people mentioned in the story are working on these projects. The bottom line is that whenever we work on a deep integration, people want to call it a Facebook Phone because that s such an attractive soundbite, but building phones is just not what we do.

New Device to freeze your Toned Body.

Scientists at Zeltiq in California have developed a device that freezes body flab to remove extra content from your body.

Known as CoolSculpting device, it is being promoted as a painless alternative to liposuction, features a gel patch that clamps on to flabby parts and freezes fat cells.

It works by killing the fat cells at sub-zero temperatures , which are re-absorbed and flushed away by the body over the next few months, leaving the patient trimmer.

They realised that although fat freezes at a lower temperature than other types of tissue, skin and muscles can survive sub-zero temperatures without suffering lasting damage.
