2012 trailer

Hehe, more end of the world stuff, watch the trailer below and enjoy this movie which is coming in November.



So, what's your first impression after watching the trailer? For me, I think it uses too many visual effects. Although they are rendered beautifully using superb computer graphics, I do hope that they won't spoil the movie. Anyway, I am gonna watch this movie no matter what. It is an irony that Sony Pictures will create a movie based on one of the hottest news (or hoax) out there that the world is going to end in December 21, 2012... *thinking*

Pomegranate Phone NS08

Wow, I came across this revolutionary phone while I was browsing the Net. Take a look at the video below and marvel at this next-gen smart phone.



Ok, so what do you think? Too good to be true? Nah..sadly.

After some researching, I found out that this Pomegranate phone is actually part of a $300,000 ad campaign put together by Nova Scotia, the small province in southeastern Canada. The website is part of the Nova Scotian government's "Come to Life" ad campaign, which hopes to build interest in the province virally through nontraditional means.

I was pretty sad when I knew this is just a fictional phone, but I know it has lit up the ideas of many phone-makers out there. The function I like the most is the projector function which is super cool in my opinion. The language translation is also super useful, lessening the barriers while communicating with people of other races. On the other hand, the coffee-making, razor, and harmonica is just too flashy I think. Anyway, I know that phones like this will be available in the near future, just don't know when.
