The 13th Flyby Avenue

Pillete, the new concept of Bluetooth headset is so tiny, it’s almost invisible to the untrained eye when you are wearing it. So you don’t have to worry anymore about looking like Robocop when walking down the street with it, but you have to consider the possibility of people starting to think you’ve lost your marbles and you’re talking to yourself.

 
The downside is the fact that people have different sized ears and the device might be to small and slip out or to big and not fit. People who often use earphones will agree on this. But once they’ll figure out a way to make the Pillete adjustable, this design will be the future of all headsets.

Cool, eh?  The Pillete can certainly lay claim to being the smallest Bluetooth headset in the world, if only it were not a concept. Coming in a pill-sized form factor, the Pillete features a high performance microphone that maintains optimal voice quality in a diminutive package. It is turned on whenever folded into a "L" shaped earbud and vice versa. I wonder if it fits comfortably with all ear sizes since some people have larger ear canals than the rest. For those who love pretty things, you can’t go wrong with the Pillete.

The group that do what they do best; delivering a tried and tested formula of powerful and uplifting ballads. The band celebrated 10 years of being in the music industry this year. And I must say, they should have 10 years more! Their ninth studio album ‘Back Home’ was released last November 2007, debuting its first single Home, which was originally sang by Michael Buble. The song debuted at number 3 on the official UK singles chart. The album contains a collection of brand new tracks along with a few covers of timeless classics. Tracks like ‘Have you Ever’, also originally recorded by Brandy, ‘Us Against the World’, ‘I do’, and ‘It’s You’, are soul-taking songs that takes you to a place pure of serenity..

Maybe people have lost faith in westlife after their repeated acts of covering others songs and after Brian Mcfadden walked out of the band. I also know some music lovers are against the so called ‘boyband’ and prefer to stay away from them specially westlife, a band which seems to lack creativity and innovation as far as song writing is concerned. But still people must know, that their songs and the vocals that both Shane Filan and Mark Feehily uniquely have are evenly match to a melody not every music artist delivers. The vocals itself are one of the most powerful the music industry has! Revealing one of the member’s gay sexuality didn’t even matter mostly for the fans. Finding it positive and brave even.

For me this album is solid! Not one of the strongest, but still one of the must haves!

I don’t really quite remember the cartoon. What are the characters, and how the story goes. It’s another way of saying that I’m not a fan. But I am a fan of the genre. And what keeps me so excited about this Live-Action film of the title is knowing about how it’s going to be executed. Not exactly, but knowing that it is going to be a Sci-fi thriller and not just a war film, is enough to make me go jump off the building! Exaggerating aside, I think it’s gonna be one of the coolest movie ever to hit on screen!

The other kickin’ news is that Stephen Sommers is directing the film!!!! Yeah!!! Hell yea!!! No wonder why he didn’t do the Mummy 3.. He’s trying out his kills to another level of CGI FX!

The story is set at Brussels-based GIJOE, an acronym for the Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, and revolves around an international co-ed force of operatives who use high-tech equipment to battle Cobra, an evil org headed by a Scottish arms dealer…

No further details about the film yet due to it’s release date coming soon 2009!

But cool pictures (with the cast names and characters) are already released! Enjoy!!!

What’s an ulzzang?
짱 (jjang): Korean slang that means "best." Ulzzang means "best face" in Korean and the word is used both online and in real life. Basically, an ulzzang is someone who has a very attractive face, but most people use the term to describe people who have become popular for their looks.

The ulzzang craze started in South Korea. Many ulzzang wannabes post up their pictures on various websites, and voting and chatting can be done on many of them. Contests, both online and in real life, are often used to pick the best ulzzangs, but you do not necessarily need to enter or win. Some ulzzangs, however, have not relied solely on the internet. For example, some have gained popularity at school for being attractive. Most ulzzangs, however, use the internet to share their photos, and that is how many become popular.

Many ulzzangs use Haduri, which is a web camera program popular among teens in Korea. People also take normal or digicam pictures. Some even use Photoshop to edit themselves. Fakers don’t make it far, and they usually get busted.

The most famous ulzzangs may earn celebrity status. Some may appear on shows, magazines, etc. Some ulzzangs may even become real celebrities by going into acting, singing, or modeling careers. A few examples of former ulzzangs are Goo Hye Sun, Park Han Byul, and Kim Hye Sung.

The two most known zzang categories:

Ulzzang/얼짱: Based on the face. 얼굴 (ŏlgul) means "face" in Korean.

Momzzang/몸짱: Based on the body. 몸 (mom) means "body" in Korean.

"Ulzzang" with "zz" is the most common way it’s written out in English on ulzzang websites. Variations on romanization include eoljjang, uhljjang, uljjang, and so on…
