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.
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.
Thanks to Andy Lau Tak-Wah, who convinced the HK Gov to help fund The Asian Film Awards to help promote the Hong Kong International Film Festival, the local film industry and Hong Kong with HK$5 million which should match what the HKIFF brings in. 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…
Sometimes I am amazed at what movies make it into Hong Kong and which ones don’t. I need to investigate the movie choosing criteria in this town.
Take Shortbus, this sexy indie movie that is getting alot of press because some of the non-actors are actually having real sex in front of the camera is going to have its Gala Opening on Feb. 8-10 at the HK Arts Centere’s Agnes b. Cinema! Apparently some critics think its like a porno, but the relationship stories makes it a “real movie”
DJ Clinton Sparks has worked with Diddy, The Notorious B.I.G., Busta Rhymes, Fabolous and more. He was here last year at Edge in a show that was amazing. So he’s back, and going upscale to the Armani/Bar Hong Kong; which is a great venue as well.
