UFO Sighting coming soon on October 14th 2008

Blossom Goodchild, an Australian actress and author, predicts mass extraterrestrial appearance coming this October 14th, 2008.

"Calling themselves ‘The Federation of Light’, these Beings from another world have stated to Goodchild that they intend not only to make themselves known, but also to remain more or less in place for a full 72 hour period."

That should give the media enough time to finally blow out those mysterious government controlled ufo files that've been held on for decades.

Now Duvchony, time to prove yourself worth your rehabilitation.

Duchovny out of sex rehab

Well known X-Files star David Duchovny who also starred as Hank Moody in Californication tv series, has finally completed his sex rehabilitation.

Duchovny, who apparently denied problems of having sex addiction, entered the rehabilitation center voluntarily in August.

With season 2 of Californication airing recently, let's hope Duchovny will not go into Hank mode yet again after seeing his own re-runs!

Pininfarina's electric car coming soon

Italian car designers Pininfarina has recently launched the sexy lookin' B0 (that's 'b' 'zero') at 2008 Paris Motor Show.

A collaboration between Pininfarina and Bolloré, the car uses lithium metal polymer battery pack and spots sollar cells on the roof and front of the car, providing short term energy with regenerative charging. The car has a range of 150 miles and a top speed of 80 mph.

Ah, and we thought Italians only make good pizzas.

Nintendo DSi announced!

Remember that spark about a new Nintendo DS coming into Japan?

This -is- the successor, dubbed the Nintendo DSi, which will see Nintendo officially going into full time cow milking industry - starting in Japan on early November.

The DSi removes the GBA slot, but comes with larger screen size, two cameras, music playbacks, SD card slots, (ya hear it folks?!) a built in web browser, and wireless ability to facilitate online distribution through DS Shop.

Hey, try not to eat beef with a big red 'N' logo on it when you see one. 'Cause it's gonna be so seriously dried up.

Font Conference, an epic movie

Sure, making pac man movies seemed weird but - a movie based on Fonts?!

Featuring all your familiar font types as they debate in this comedic movie about accepting new membership; watch their conference getting interrupted by a notorious villain, putting all hope on the true savior to bring peace for fellow fonts. Spoiler alert : Wingdings included!

I Wish I Were The Moon

If you're a fan of pixelated junkies, then you're in for a treat.

Daniel Benmergui created a short game that lets you direct the story about a love triangle. It encourages self exploration of emotional situation, by using camera snaps to move objects around you'll decide how the boy, girl and seagull come to an end.

Be sure to give it a whirl, the good ol' pixelated way.

Celebration Day of Fasting

After a long month of Ramadan fasting, it is time for fellow Muslims to celebrate.

Happy Hari Raya Aidilfitri!

Nintendo DS Liter Redesign

Believe it or not, rumours are already sparking about a new Nintendo DS redesign coming into Japan within this year.

It would include camera and music playback, and also connects to information terminals allowing usage of location specific data.

If those are true, sounds like our brother N may be trying to compete in mainstream multimedia market now.

You know what? Nintendo already has one person with wet pants right now. And he's shaking. Feverishly. Seriously.

Large Hadron Collider (LHC) rests for 2 months

The collider, responsible for driving fellow earth links into mass hysteria because of its possibility to produce black holes on earth, is shut down for 2 months due to magnetic failures.

LHC was actually created to collide protons using high kinetic energy to prove the existence of Higgs boson particles.

With only 2 months more to go, our hope now lies with Gordon Freeman. We'll be safe. Promise.

Indian Harry Potter Released

Remember when Warner Bros. went dragging Bollywood's Hari Puttar into Indian courts suing them for breach of intellectual property because it confuses J.K Rowling's fans?

Well, the Warners lost!

..freeing Hari Puttar to continue his journey about the tale of a 10 year old Indian boy who got left behind at home when his family goes on a holiday. Gosh, someone's going to be home alone again.

Google Chrome, the spanking new web browser!

It was just a matter of time Google had decided to take over the world. Now with their all new, shining open source web browser, life will soon change.

Knowing Google, everything that we knew about web browsing had been stripped down and simplified to ease the overall experience, while slapping up new features such as a box that searches keywords and accepts url at the same time, application shortcuts made from pages, a beefed up security model with sandboxed windows and oh, my favourite 'Incognito' browsing mode so we could do some serious browsing anonymously. *Gosh*

Not too sure what these all means? Be sure to check it out yourself - Seriously, now!

If you hopped those kids were there to draft out better plans for improved internet connection - it was just a color contest.

Illegitimate Windows XP causes power surge

According to recent Malaysian Star newspapers, the latest genuine advantage update from Microsoft would actually cause blackouts on desktop for users with pirated copies of windows xp professional.

Aye, looks like captain Jack Sparrow and his buccaneers had already begun sailing the sea in search for the legendary Linus Torvalds.

PSP 3000 officially not a rumor!

Apparently inevitable, those new psp spy shots that surfaced weeks ago were actually - true!

Sony has officially announced the new PSP-3000 at Leipzig Games Convention. This time around, PSP Brite will feature brighter lcd with halved response time and comes with a built-in microphone in the disappointingly all-too-familiar shell we thought would change.

Now, begin chanting this mantra - 'I will not buy another PSP' repeatedly before and after going to sleep and we'll all be safe happily ever after.
