A rainbow of colors for the Shuffle are coming!

According to AppleInsider, Steve Jobs and Co. are releasing the first colorific iPods with their Shuffle line. Alongside the orange one above there will be vibrant pink, blue and green ones as well. The Shuffle is around HK$650 for the 1GB version and is available now in Hong Kong here. The cool thing is that Valentine’s Day is coming up and you can laser engrave a message and have it delivered at no extra cost.

Hong Kong Oscars in March?

Andy Lau helps to get the Gov to fund Asian Academy Awards

This is a long time coming, so we’ll see in March if we can really launch an Asian Academy Awards in Hong Kong.

Kind of ironic that Andy Lau helped get cash to fund an event where he would win most of the awards! I kid, I kid…

Check out the site here – the usual suspects are in line for the nominations across the region: Curse of the Golden Flower and Exiled are the HK entries. The Host from Korea is there, so why no Death Note from Japan?

Virgin Spreads into Macau

Sir Richard is coming with US$3 billion in his pocket

I’m actually a bit surprised that Richard Branson DIDN’T come to Macau earlier. Reports today signal that Virgin Group along with Australia’s Tabcorp are planning to build and operate a US$3 billion casino resort in Macau. Bottom-line if this happens, it will be the most expensive single-location in Macau even beating the US$2.3 billion 2,000-room Venetian from Sheldon Adelson. Continue reading »
