Pineberry
PineberriesThe Pineberry is a strawberry cultivar owned by breeder Hans de Jongh and commercialized by VitalBerry BV [1] in Made, The Netherlands, and publicized in Germany in April, 2009, as Ananaserdbeere, or pineapple strawberry.[2] It is a hybrid of Fragaria chiloensis, originating in South America and Fragaria virginiana, originating in North America. The fruit flesh can range from soft white to orange and is very fragrant with a slight pineapple flavor. The plant is disease resistant, but is not very profitable. Due to small-scale farming, small berry size and low yield crop, the Pineberry has been marketed to European restaurants, bakeries and wholesale markets. It is also grown in Belize.
The berry has been dubbed the Pineberry for the UK market[3][4] where it will soon be available.[5] White strawberries are not rare; garden supply stores in the UK have other white varieties of strawberry called White Soul[6] and White Delight.[7][8]
Pineberries were bred from a wild strawberry originating in South America where it grew wild, but was nearly extinct until 2003, when a group of Dutch farmers banded together to save the plant. The Pineberry is said to have the same genetic makeup as the common strawberry. When ripe, it is almost completely white, but with red seeds.[9] A pineberry is smaller than a common strawberry, measuring between 15 to 23 mm. They are grown in greenhouses, growing on coir like other strawberries. Pineberries begin life as green berries, then become slightly white. By the time their deeply set seeds turn deep red, the white fruit is deemed ripe.[5]
[edit] April Fool's joke confusionSuspicions of the fruit being an April Fool's joke were raised due to the timing of the announcement, and a number of sites launched by an internet design and SEO company named Pineberry, a few days before the announcement of the supposed near-extinct fruit.[10] One of the websites detailed the pineberry fruit,[11] however it is identified as Rubus sylvestris, a type of blackberry or raspberry, not a strawberry of the genus Fragaria. Another website showed a jar of pineberry fruit with clear indications that the product is in fact false.[12] All of the websites launched by Pineberry lead back to their main page, which clearly shows that it is an internet design and system development company.[13]
Suspicions were compounded by the fact that the only store that was offering them for sale at the time, Waitrose offered a similar product- a banana-pineapple hybrid (pinanas), that was later revealed to be an April Fool's joke.[14]

Android ported to Nokia N900
It appears there isn’t much you can’t do with the Nokia N900, it can run just about any dais you want to throw at it. The guys over at NitDroid have managed to bring Google’s latest Android Gingerbread firmware to the gadget, making it one of only a small number of phones that is presently running the software.
Formerly, developers have been able to load Windows, Linux, MeeGo, Maemo and older versions of Android, making it characteristically the Swiss Army Knife of the mobile phone world.
The respite of us Android apparatus owners will need to latch on even as Google readies the update for Nexus One owners and the mobile carriers decide to get moving and roll out their updates. If you have a Nokia N900, it seems the world is your oyster.

Wilson the volleyball
In the film, Wilson the volleyball serves as Chuck Noland's personified friend and only companion during the four years that Noland spends alone on a deserted island.[6][7][8] The character was created by screenwriter William Broyles Jr. While researching for the film Cast Away, he consulted with professional survival experts, and then chose to deliberately strand himself for one week on an isolated beach in the Sea of Cortes, to force himself to search for water and food, and obtain his own shelter. During this time, a volleyball washed up on shore. This was the inspiration for the film's inanimate companion. From a theatrical view, Wilson also serves to realistically imply dialogue in a one-person-only situation.[9]
One of the original volleyball props was sold at auction after release of the film for $18,400 and now rests in a display cabinet in FedEx Kinko's CEO Ken May's office in Dallas, Texas.[10] In addition, many near identical replicas of Wilson are available for sale,[11][12][13] and the Wilson company manufactures a volleyball with the handprint face on one side.[14]
Wilson has been a subject of humor in literature, film and television. Shortly after Tom Hanks was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor, some in the news joked that Wilson should also be nominated for Best Supporting Piece of Athletic Equipment

How to Grow a Pineapple at Home

Did you know you can grow your very own pineapple at home? If you didn’t know that, you’re in great company—very few people do know! But it’s easy and fun to do. And you can grow a pineapple from the very same pineapple you buy in your grocery store. Imagine that.
here’s how to grow a pineapple at home:
First You’ll Need:
*The crown (top) of the pineapple
*A pint canning jar or other glass container
*A 12-inch diameter pot
*Potting soil that drains well
Then, the Planting Directions:
*Cut the crown from the pineapple just above where the stem comes out of the top of the body
*Remove any of the fruity part of the pineapple from the crown
*Pull off the outer leaves of the crown, leaving 6 to 8 big leaves near the center
*Set this shoot aside for 2-3 days to dry out
*Put the shoot in water (about 1/2-inch deep; water shouldn’t touch the leaves)
*Place it in a bright spot out of direct sunlight for a few weeks to encourage roots to develop
*After you see the roots beginning to grow, transplant the crown to a medium-size pot containing soil that drains well
*Place the pot in a bright location and water your plant daily
*Once the young plant is established, pour a cupful of well-balanced, diluted, water-soluble liquid fertilizer into the top of the plant once a month.
