Air New Zealand, the country’s national carrier, has made a safety video for its domestic routes which shows a pilot and cabin crew dressed only in body paint made to resemble their normal uniforms. The 3-minute, 28-second “Bare essentials of safety” clip, and a similar 45-second television advertisment introduced six weeks ago, have had passengers glued to their mini television sets.

They could have at least had hotter air hostesses!

This is just priceless. I mean seriously how retarded can an entire nation be!!!

Mobile phone operators in Pakistan & Afganistan have been deluged with calls from concerned users after they received a hoax message claiming a “killer virus” was being transmitted via their handsets. Kabul shop owner Ahmad Fawad advises: “Don’t answer any strange number because it contains a virus that will kill you.”

The message claimed that 20 people had already succumbed to the deadly plague, and proved so effective that some mosques in Karachi began advising would-be victims to “be aware of God’s wrath”, Reuters reports.

Farah Hussain, a spokeswoman for Warid Telecom, said the company’s customer service centres have been “inundated with panicky subscribers inquiring about the so-called virus”.

Operators issued a joint statement aimed at calming nerves, which explained: “These rumours are completely baseless. They do not make any sense in technological terms.”

This car was 163k when it was bought new. Was 110k in another garage a few months ago. Now its down to €87,450 – but the sticker in the window says €77,750???

€86,000 of a loss since then, and it’s only done 8,000 miles? That’s over €10 a mile depreciation. Ouch!

Top Gear is Back! Here is a sneak preview of what is in store for us this Season!

Oh and if you missed it last night – they revealed who the Sig is!

But don’t be fooled, he’s not the “Real” stig, that was only just for a laugh.

His time on the FXX should not be counted either as its not a road legal car, and it was not the real stig Driving!

You may have heard that the new 3.0 software update is out for the iPhone – giving you much needed updates like Horizontal keyboard and Multimedia messaging. And sure enough only a matter of days after it was released, the iPhone Dev Team (a group of hackers) have cracked the software so that you can “Jailbreak” your iphone. Jaulbreaking your iPhone allows you to install apps that are not approved by Apple and the iStore. Apple put in certain restrictions that this can get around. E.g. The first apps I got after jaulbreaking were a video camera “Cycorder” – and “MXtube” which lets you download youtube video’s to your iphone to watch any time.

www.iclarified.com have a great tutorial on exactly how to jailbreak your iPhone using “RedSn0w”  which is the software that does it for you.

When you have done this, I recommend installing a program called “Installous”. It lets you get almost any apps on the iStore for free! To do this, add “http://cydia.hackulo.us” as a new source through Cydia (A program you get when you Jailbreak) and then search for “Installous”.

This is a very interesting video showcasing how Microsoft see “the Home of the Future” – its not like tose comical 70’s video’s but instead expanding upon the types of technologies we are starting to use today

I usually post all my mixes on my other blog – but I thought I would share this one with everyone here too:

Sunday morning is one of my favourite times to mix. You’re tired and your head is it bit foggy from the night before, so putting on a few smooth sounds is the perfect way to open the day. This morning I pressed record – started off with some nice laid back tunes and let it flow from there. Leads on to come chunky percussions and funky basslines, perfect to waken you up for the day ahead…

Enjoy…

Now this is a toy I think every man would love. If you have a racing fame with a steering wheel, that’s cool. If you have it hooked up to a projectors, that is Really Cool! If you have one of those fancy racing seats then you are sub-zero – but this, this is just another step beyond:

It is a 6-Axis Motor/Flight/Rollercoaster simulator seat thingy that will being a new realm of excitement to Grand Tourismo or any other type racing simulation game.

I have been wondering how to do this for literally years, and today I finally found a program that does it.

If like me (on my work pc anyway) you have a huge load of windows open at any one time – and also spend all day closing and opening new ones – things can get a bit messy. I have a very specific order I want them in, and if that gets messed up, I need to shut them all down and reopen in the right order which takes ages so I usually don’t bother.

Taskbar Shuffle is a program that fixes this problem – and allows you to reorder your taskbar and system tray icons!

Cool!

A 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns, The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It’ll teach you something, it’ll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

Enough of all this recession bullshiiiiit – let’s concentrate on the FUN things coming up. It’s now (apparently) summer so tome to get out in a field with a tent and get messy with your mates to comer quality tunage. No better place t do it than Electric Picnic. I’ve been a good few times before and its always a fantastic weekend. The lineup does not exactly blow me away this year but I have been both Orbital and Basement Jazz before and they are usually great to watch.

Really to me it would not matter who is on, you have so much fun just being down there regardless of going to gig’s – its worth going no mater what.

Oxygen actually has a pretty good lineup but you would not catch me down there with the tent blazing pikeys!

This is really brilliant. A very simple and effective narrated animation of how the credit crisis happened. Definitely worth a watch.
