His friends now call him Paulie Walnuts, not because of The Sopranos, but, well you see why. The Guinness World Records series Spotlight posted the official video of Muhammed Rashid of Pakistan as he breaks the world record for “Most Walnuts Cracked Against the Head in One Minute”.

This system is from a company that specialized in luxurious automotive accessories, but decided to create something for the mobile computing sector as well.

This stereo system from Japan’s Amadana may look like something out of the 1970s, but it’s actually quite contemporary under the hood.
