Couple Collected Garbage, Exchanged For Honeymoon
Oct 8, 2008 Funny News
This sounds a very good idea! The couple spend nothing for their honeymoon to US, from UK. Would you do so if there is similar campaign here in Singapore or Malaysia?
John and Ann Till, from Petersfield, in Hampshire, took thousands of cans and bottles to a recycling centre at a nearby Tesco supermarket.
For every four recycled items, they earned a reward point which was then converted into BA air miles.
They amassed 36,000 miles, which they used to fly back in business class from their US honeymoon.

A real labour of love: Couple trawl streets for litter for three months and recycle it to pay for their honeymoon flight

Counterfeit China Microchips Used In US Defense System
Oct 6, 2008 Gossips, Terrible Stuffs
Nowadays, any possibility that we are able to live without MIC (made in China) products? Or to be exact, counterfeit/poisonous MIC products?
And, we thought US defense system must be damn strict about the equipments, components, parts that to be used? LOL……
The American military faces a growing threat of potentially fatal equipment failure—and even foreign espionage—because of counterfeit computer components used in warplanes, ships, and communication networks. Fake microchips flow from unruly bazaars in rural China to dubious kitchen-table brokers in the U.S. and into complex weapons. Senior Pentagon officials publicly play down the danger, but government documents, as well as interviews with insiders, suggest possible connections between phony parts and breakdowns.
Much of that pollution emanates from the Chinese hinterlands. BusinessWeek tracked counterfeit military components used in gear made by BAE Systems to traders in Shenzhen, China. The traders typically obtain supplies from recycled-chip emporiums such as the Guiyu Electronics Market outside the city of Shantou in southeastern China. The garbage-strewn streets of Guiyu reek of burning plastic as workers in back rooms and open yards strip chips from old PC circuit boards. The components, typically less than an inch long, are cleaned in the nearby Lianjiang River and then sold from the cramped premises of businesses such as Jinlong Electronics Trade Center.
A sign for Jinlong Electronics advertises in Chinese that it sells “military” circuitry, meaning chips that are more durable than commercial components and able to function at extreme temperatures. But proprietor Lu Weilong admits that his wares are counterfeit. His employees sand off the markings on used commercial chips and relabel them as military. Everyone in Guiyu does this, he says: “The dates [on the chips] are 100% fake, because the products pulled off the computer boards are from the ’80s and ’90s, [while] customers demand products from after 2000.”
