RED NINTENDO Wii REMOTE PLUS

Here's a simple bundle that adds that MotionPlus into your typical Wiimote, but they’re doing it fair as it’s only priced at USD$40. You surely won’t miss it, as it’s packed in a super bright crimson red package. Might be the influence of that New Super Mario Bros included in the bundle.

Regardless, that’ll be USD$199, and that new, 25th Anniversary red DSi XL bundle Nintendo announced last month is official too, costing USD$179. All three launch in just a couple weeks, on November 7, so get ready to ditch those dongles.

BOEING 737 AIRCRAFT INSTALLED eXCONNECT HIGH SPEED BROADBAND INFLIGHT

It seemed that Boeing would be the first company to implement real Internet connectivity during in-flight. Yes, soon you’ll be able to surf Facebook and watch some YouTube some 30,000 kilometres up in the sky. The company has just announced the first certification and installation of Panasonic Avionics’ eXConnect in-flight internet service in one of its Boeing Business Jet 737 aircraft, which will initially be used by Panasonic itself for ongoing testing and demonstrations.

That’s the same system that will be used by Cathay Pacific, and consist of a fuselage-mounted antenna that communicates with a network of satellites to deliver speeds of up to 50Mbps, or about a hundred times faster than most competing in-flight WiFi. Thus far, this is still in testing stage, so there’s no mention of implementation into commercial aircraft anytime soon. But I can bet that soon it’ll get into our super-expensive long-haul flights anyway.

BOOBS KUSH GADGETS HELP THE WEARER HAVE A GOOD SLEEP

Girls, are you afraid of saggy breasts? They may look good with a good bra, but once you let go of the bra, they somehow look rather awfully sad, right? Don’t worry, as someone has a solution for you! And all the magic is done with a plastic cylinder! Just slip the Kush in your cleavage before you wander off to slumberland, and you wake up with immaculate boobs. Or so the makers claim.

Inventor Cathinka Chandler said: “As women age, wrinkles and folds can form between the breasts. Because I sleep on my side, I learned that gravity and the pressure of my breasts resting on top of each other was the culprit.”

The American gadget, which comes in three handy sizes and seven colours, sells for between £30 and £40. It is aimed at women with C-cup or larger, nursing mothers and those with implants. The Kush will also be available in the UK, as it’s about to be launched in Britain by Joanne Darbost from Lincolnshire.

‘I wish it had been available when I was pregnant as the answer for those uncomfortable nights, when a good sleep is so desperately needed.’ – she said.

Now, why a plastic cylinder, and not a mineral bottle? I can even think of so many; some of them can even vibrate!

CONGO AIR CRASH BLAMED ON A SMUGGLED CROCODILES

The Democratic Republic of Congo flight turned deadly when a crocodile escaped from a passenger’s duffle bag. According to the flight’s sole human survivor, panicking passengers fled into the cockpit and caused the pilot to lose control.

The first reports of the crash speculated that the plane had run out of fuel and “couldn’t make a proper landing,” but the ostensible truth is far more inexplicable. It seems that one of the private flight’s passengers was smuggling a crocodile in his carry-on and lost track of the animal.

The terrified air hostess hurried towards the cockpit, followed by the passengers. The plane then became unstable, despite the desperate efforts of the pilot. Well, you could guess the result of that.

20 people died as a result of the crash. The crocodile did survive the crash however, but was executed with a machete. 20 down, only 1 survived. I guess the crocodile win after all. But I still don’t get how they manage to dump a living crocodile in the cargo.

WINDOWS 7 LICENCES SOLD 240 MILLION IN ONE YEAR

Yesterday marks the one-year anniversary of Microsoft’s Windows 7, and what’s more to celebrate this grand birthday than with a big number celebration tagging along? Yes, in this one year since the release of Windows 7, Microsoft has sold 240 million licenses of it.

Brandon LeBlanc, a Microsoft spokesman, calls it “the fastest selling operating system in history” in a blog post.

“Six months after launch, 100 percent (over 18,000) of our OEM partners were selling Windows 7 PCs versus 70 percent for Windows Vista PCs at a comparable time period,” LeBlanc wrote.

Earlier this month, Microsoft brought back the Windows 7 Family Pack, which provides upgrade licenses to Windows 7 Home Premium for up to three devices for $149.99. It is available now in the U.S.; after Oct. 22, the family pack offering will expand to Canada, the U.K., Germany, France, Australia and other international markets.

Several Microsoft employees posted their seven favourite features about Windows 7 on the company’s blog. To commemorate the anniversary, LeBlanc asked people to do the same in the comments section for a chance to win a full copy of Windows 7 Ultimate (and some Microsoft stickers). You have until 8am Pacific on Oct. 27 to submit your thoughts.
