HTC Bravo Is Coming !
First appeared in December last year (without being officially announced), the high-end HTC Bravo might hit the market sooner than expected.
According to 3 Sweden’s Facebook page, the Swedish carrier could launch the HTC Bravo in March. Knowing this, other European markets will probably have the Bravo at about the same time.The features of HTC Bravo are pretty much similar to the ones of Google’s Nexus One (which is also manufactured by HTC), including: a 3.7 inch WVGA AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU at 1GHz, HSPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, 5MP camera with autofocus, and Android 2.0 or 2.1.
Cant wait for this Android monster to be launch in Malaysia !

Temperature-Driven Atmos 566 Clock
We really can’t count the number of envious looks this Atmos 566 Clock attracts. Designed by Marc Newson, this Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos 566 Clock is unlike any other watch out there. Driven by the energy supplied by infinitely small successive changes in temperature, thanks to the hermetically sealed capsule containing a gaseous mixture, initially mercury, that dilates when the temperature rises and contracts when it drops.
While the mechanism is too complex to explain, the language of time is far more easier to understand through its pure design that exalts its inherent complexity. Combining art, design and manufacturing expertise, Jaeger-LeCoultre has offered just 76 units of the masterpiece. And about the pricing, the most basic Atmos start from $ 2600 (RM 8,850) and extends the range to almost $ 70,600 (RM 240,000).Via : BornRich

Police Headshot 15 Years Old Girl !
With his arms wide open and eyes sparkling with joy, he is handed over to his weeping mother's embrace. This seven-year-old boy named Kiki was pulled yesterday from the rubble of his home after being trapped for nearly eight days. He and his elder sister Sabrina were in their home in Port-au-Prince when the devastating earthquake struck Haiti last week.All hope seemed to be lost for the pair since people can rarely last more than three days without food and water. 'It is a miracle, an absolute miracle,' said Dr David Cash of Virginia Task Force Two after treating Sabrina. 'She is in remarkable shape. It is an unbelievable feeling.'
Auto-Lift Iron Won't Char Your Threads !
Watch out, Earthlings -- Ariete's 2,400 watt Auto-Lift iron is just a Stateside-release away from being Anthony Sullivan's next big hit. The concept here is pretty simple (and pretty genius) : users have to physically press down on the iron to make it touch whatever piece of wrinkled clothing is beneath, and as soon as they release pressure, the iron pops up to prevent accidental charring. It'll set you back $92 (RM 313), but considering that one toasted dress shirt is probably far more expensive than that to replace, the forgetful among us should probably make the investment.Via : Engadget
Optimus Prime As Clothes Dryer !
What does a superpowered Transformer do in his spare time - you know, when he's not too busy starring in some of the worst written pieces of escapist cinema ? Well, for one Taiwanese fella, there's nothing Optimus Prime likes doing more than supporting a bamboo stick used for hanging washed clothes. Seriously, the dude spent $1,600 (RM 5,400) on scrap metal, built a 14-foot model of his son's favorite mech superhero, and now has it serving as a spectacularly ornamental pivot for his washing. Classy. Check out the clip below !
