BlackBerry Application Suite Leaks, Ready To Corrupt A Perfectly Good WinMo Phone !

RIM's ambitious (if not questionable) project to port the juiciest morsels of BlackBerry OS to a virtual machine running atop Windows Mobile was abandoned long ago, and for all we know, it has -- but the half-baked remnants of the undertaking are finally available thanks to the good folks at xda-developers.

Buy The Rarest, Most Beautiful Colored Diamonds Online !

The Gear Ring By Kinekt !

Men's wedding bands are, in essence, simplicity itself : a plain band of some precious metal or another. But some gearheads aren't inclined to embrace simplicity. They might go for a more original material, like titanium or carbon fiber, but short of repurposing a piston ring, that's about the extent of it. Until the Gear Ring came along.

Valentino Feather Trimmed Satin Sandals !

I love it when shoes get a little crazy and this Valentino pair of Feather Trimmed Satin Sandals is a perfect example. The sandals themselves are nothing to write home about, being simple 4 1/2" heels in strappy khaki satin with black satin trim. But then comes the fun part: the asymmetrical black rooster feather trim that soars several inches for a floaty, fantasy effect that will surely make you the fashion maven of any party. Sadly I imagine it will be hard to wear this pair more than once or twice, as the feathers will surely take a beating even just walking around. Priced at $895 (RM 3,062).

In the last few months we've been noticing Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich doing a lot of spending.

Level 10 Gaming Chassis Gains Asetek Liquid Cooling Solution !

Compaq Airlife 100 Puts Android OS, Snapdragon CPU, And An SSD Behind 10.1-inch Touchscreen !

HP's mobile computing unit appears to have decided that the term smartbook refers to putting a smartphone's components inside a netbook's body -- which kind of makes sense -- so they've built their Airlife 100 atop an Android OS platform, underpinned by a Snapdragon CPU (unconfirmed, but highly likely), a 16 GB SSD, 3G and WiFi connectivity, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen display.

Boeing 747 Destroys Ballistic Missile With Laser !

No, this isn't a call to arms (yet), the US is simply evaluating its airborne laser weapon again. Now listen in because this latest test was a doozy.

Windows 8 “Mind blowing” And “Completely Different” ?

Ducobi Designer Toys Are Worthy Of An Art Museum !

It’s hard to believe at the first site that these beautifully crafted sculptures are toys, but believe it or not, these are — Ducobi designer toys. It might seem a little odd to look at toys that can at best be described as a child’s worst nightmare, but Ducobi designer toys are a result of painstaking craftsmanship with a starting price of $750 (RM 2,566). Each toy has clean and neat lines to characterize the role it depicts through its design, and we wouldn’t mind even if these are placed in art museums.
