Nokia to roll out several new devices ahead post acquisition of Microsoft

Well done Nokia...

Stephen Elop, who is now the new employee for Microsoft Corp (Previously CEO of Nokia), is preparing to introduce six new products on Tuesday in Abu Dhabi. I read this news from The Wall Street Journal, the paper subscribed by my Company.

However, it is hinted that on the same day Nokia wanted to launch its devices, Apple will also be launching its new Ipad. If you guys ask me, seriously dude to launch the product the same day as Apple is not a good strategy unless the product is so innovative that customers will not hesitate to purchase Nokia products that Apple can compete with. For me, I still consider Apple is the best knowing the fact that I owned an Iphone 5 and an Ipad.

If you want to know more about Apple's event for the new Ipad, you guys can visit http://www.youtube.com/user/SoldierKnowsBest. I did subscribe to his video and I can say that this dude is awesome bro!!! or you can see the video below....

David Cameron tells British Gas customers to ditch energy giant after 10.6% price hike

I was quite shocked to read the Mail Online on my Iphone 5 and to find out that British Gas, the Energy Giant 'so called' in UK has increased its price by 10.6% next month. Are you trying to squeeze the British people? Taking advantage knowing that people used your product for daily purposes? You can't do that just for the sake of your Board Directors. Stupid, just accept whatever proposals being tabled by the Board. 

Of-course the British Gas employees will be happy because this will end with a windfall - BONUS mate - . So to all my fellow British friends, please switch and use the Gas wisely.

THE POWER IS IN YOUR HANDS!!!!!!!!!

Struggling London families were dealt a huge blow today when British Gas said energy bills will go up by 10.6 per cent next month.

The bombshell from Britain’s biggest energy supplier will add £148 to the cost of heating and lighting a typical home and send the annual total spiralling to a record £1494 a year.

It is the second big hike by the “Big Six” energy giants this Autumn following an 8.2 per cent rise pushed through by Scottish & Southern Energy last week. Energy experts have warned that the other suppliers are almost certain to follow suit in the coming weeks.

Obama Signs Bill to End Government Shutdown, Avoid Default

Finally, after days of negotiation.....

President Barack Obama signed a bill to reopen the federal government and lift the debt limit just after midnight on Thursday morning, after an 11th-hour agreement reached on Wednesday by Senate majority leader Harry Reid and minority leader Mitch McConnell was passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate voted 81-18 in favor of the measure, while the House voted 285-144 in favor.

The bipartisan votes in both houses of Congress set the stage for an end to the 16-day government shutdown hours before the federal government’s borrowing authority is set to expire. Speaker of the House John Boehner conceded earlier on Wednesday that his conference’s strategy to demand concessions in exchange for reopening the government had failed. “Blocking the bipartisan agreement reached today by the members of the Senate will not be a tactic for us,” he said in a statement.

Kim Kardashian shows off post-baby body in racy swimsuit photo, Kanye West tweets ‘heading home now’

Wow, finally hot mama on the planet gives a free show to his King!!! Haha…..

Kim Kardashian posted a new photo of her post-baby body to Instagram on Thursday morning.

Now that the Atkins Diet has been revealed as Kim Kardashian's secret to successful post-baby weight loss, the hot mother of one is getting back to showing off her famous assets.

Kardashian, 32, posted a "no filter" photo of herself to Instagram, showing off her pert derriere while wearing a high-cut, sexy white swimsuit.

And the best part is, she’s practising the Atkin’s diet. So guys, just a brief intro on what is the Atkin’s diet:

The Atkins diet promises that not only will you lose weight -- and not be hungry -- with a low-carbohydrate diet, but you'll also be on the road to better heart health and memory function, as well as other wellness benefits.

The diet is based on the theory that overweight people eat too many carbohydrates. Our bodies burn both fat and carbohydrates for energy, but carbs are used first. By drastically reducing carbs and eating more protein and fat, our bodies naturally loseweight by burning stored body fat more efficiently.

Although it's undoubtedly the weight-loss claims -- and noted success stories -- that are selling the books, the Center for Complementary Medicine in New York (which Atkins founded) claims that most people follow the Atkins diet for weight maintenance, good health, and disease prevention.

How the Atkins Diet Works

Drastically restricting carbohydrates  to a mere fraction of that found in the typical American diet causes the body to go into a state of ketosis, which means it burns its own fat for fuel. A person in ketosis is getting energy from ketones, little carbon fragments that are the fuel created by the breakdown of fat stores. When the body is in ketosis, you tend to feel less hungry, and thus you're likely to eat less than you might otherwise. However, ketosis can also cause a variety of unpleasant effects (such as unusual breath odor and constipation) in a small number of people.

As a result, your body changes from a carbohydrate-burning engine into a fat-burning engine. So instead of relying on the carbohydrate-rich items you might typically consume for energy, and leaving your fat stores just where they were before (alas, the hips, belly, and thunder thighs are popular fat-gathering spots), your fat stores become a primary energy source. The purported result: weight loss.

In slightly more detail, consider what happens when you eat a high-carbohydrate meal. Sugar from the carbohydrate quickly enters the bloodstream. To keep the blood sugar from rising too high, the body secretes insulin. Insulin allows the extra sugar to be stored in the liver and muscle as glycogen, but these stores are rapidly filled to capacity. The insulin then converts any extra sugar to fat -- the stuff we're trying so hard to get rid of.

According to the Atkins theory, if the body keeps on making "too much" insulin -- as it tries to deal with the "excess" sugar -- it may become less responsive to insulin and eventually may develop the metabolic disorder diabetes. The Atkins theory states that this should properly be called "unstable blood sugar" since the blood sugar level rises and then drops quickly.

Nexus 5, Rumours or will it be into our shores sooner or later???

Frankly speaking, I can only describe this hot Gadget in 1 word: AMAZING!!

WHY??

Because:

1. A good friend of mine have the previous Nexus 4. It is well on par with the Iphone 5.
2. No lagging issues with regards to the software (I think if I'm not mistaken, it utilized the Ginger Bread. Sorry folks as I am an avid user of the Iphone 5-)
3. The interface is excellent, better than the other Android Phones in the market.
4. It's cheap and SUPERB!!!
5. Nice design-)

SO, if you guys are CONFIDENT, I think probably you should started to have a look/research/investigate further with regards to this Nexus 5.

It was reported in the CNET that it may be in the market during end of 2013 or as early as 2014. Also, According to a Romanian Android blog that I'd never heard of before, the Nexus 5 will launch at $399 for 16GB and $449 for 32GB, and an LTE Nexus 4 will start at $299 for 16GB or $349 for 32GB.

My friend bought the Nexus 4 from his friend who stays in the USA for RM1200. Pretty cheap rite? Well I think the price will be smaller when you purchased online from Malaysia.

I will be updating the features that is embedded later in the Nexus 5.

Comments are welcome!!!

Blurred Lines model Emily Ratajkowski: I was so naked

Wow...... Please don't tell me that whoever read my post now doesn't have any idea with this hot bombshell model-)

I am very sure that at least you guys have started to dig deeper/investigate further this hot babe Emily Ratajkowski. I give my 5 thumbs up to her guys, even better than Miranda Kerr I supposed!!!

                                                                      Niceeeeee-)

So back to the topic, I read it somewhere on the net, and basically I can agree with her statement saying that she felt completely naked. Bros out there, to be frank, I have seen the original version of her being naked in the youtube video. I don't have any idea if that video has been removed.

This is her statement:

‘When I first saw the video, I was like, Oh, Jesus Christ, I’m so naked,’ she told GQ magazine. ‘Not just naked, but so revealed.

‘It was my personality,’ she said. ‘There was no glamour involved. I was just silly and playful and kind of ridiculous – a big dork. And I only let my best friends see that. Or if I’ve had a couple of cocktails.’

Pretty tough for Robin Thicke to handle though. He has to come to the defence of both its lyrics and the accompanying video several times since its realise.

Well sir, you made yourself ROCK dude!!!!!!!!

Apple cuts orders for Iphone 5C

   Hey guys. Got some news from Apple. Just browse through the wall street journal back at my office and I found out that Apple will be decreasing its orders for the Iphone 5C. The reason being because:

a.       Weaker consumer demand

b.      5C not as good as the 5S
c.       Lack in features like fingerprint sensors.

However, the good news is that Apple has just begun to increase its 5S production since the demand is outrageous especially the Iphone 5S Gold. Guess I need to start saving now since it will be arriving to Malaysian shores as reported by Machines in the Facebook page on 1^st November.  Come on 5S, I’m damn CRAVING FOR IT!!!

Instant Hit of JASON TAN! Easy Home Income for EVERYONE in Malaysia Only!

Jason Tan, I wish I can describe it longer rather than saying Thank You. You have forever changed my life! You have forever changed my style of people interaction. It is very hard for me to trust the so called easy money making through internet. Seriously dude, there are lots of methods, techniques, procedures, but which one should I try? Which method should I apply to make good and easy money? I am so frustrated and tired of studying and reading trying to make this thing works until recently a good friend of mine asks me to try your so called "AMAZING PRODUCT".

At first, I have negative impression and doubts regarding this “PRODUCT” because I have been listening to people saying that internet business is untruth. Yet I did mention that I have tried various products and it is disappointing. But that doesn’t stop me to try and explore new products because I use to believe that if you have not made any attempt, you never know the results. It is simple as “No Pain, No Gain”. If I try and the results are negative, I make losses. But if the results are positive, then it is a good BONUS for me! So I give it a try just for the sake of exploring other methods and guess what? YES, it is simple and easy to understand, and the best part is, I am getting an instant hit of an average of 200 bucks almost every day of understanding and applying your techniques!

Jason, thank you very much. You have made wonders to the people out there. You have given them the financial freedom that never exists in the life before. You enable them to make their wish come true, and THAT INCLUDES ME! I don’t have to waste my time worrying about money. I can provide at least happiness to my family such as holiday trips, dining out, buying cars, small properties, etc. I am so glad that I have finally managed to come to your site, using your easy and simple yet intuitive explanation that makes the method easy to follow.

I would definitely recommend your site to my family and friends, known associates, colleagues, etc. Bless you, JASON TAN! You have changed people’s life. You are the new internet HERO. You are the new Hero in today’s world. What can I say more?
