Volkswagen XL1 Concept

The Volkswagen XL1 Concept is the car of the future. It looks futuristic enough, with its lack of a rear view mirror and sleeky design, complete with hidden rear wheels. Heck, it even looks like the Jetsons' family car. But what truly makes it the car of the future isn't its fancy gulf wing doors or Bugatti-like body kit. What makes it the car of the future is its outrageously green mileage. With just 0.9 litres of diesel, the machine will take you a whole 100 kilometres. That's about 10 times the average car. Remember that song that goes "girls don't like boys/ girls like cars and money"? Well usually this isn't true. Usually... This might be an exception though; sexy, functional and environmentally-friend...

2011 Superbowl Ads

The Superbowl was this past weekend, and although Green Bay brought home the gold, there's a wealth of laughs in the Superbowl commercials. These 30 second to a minute spots sell for at least US$ 3 million, but regulars like Doritos, Budweiser and E-Trade come back every year with bigger and better ads aimed at your funny bone, and commercial time during the big game has become the Holy Grail of comedic and marketing genius. My favourite this year is Volkswagen's Darth Vader commercial. Spoiler alert! The idea is simple: kid dressed as Darth Vader tries out 'the force' but can't seem to work his jedi powers. Dad comes home in the new Volkswagen Passat, and just for kicks, humours the kid, who can't believe that he just used his mind to power the Passat. It's great; very very fun...

Eat Drink Tea(R) bioactive Pu'er essence is the world's most powerful antioxidants infused tea

Given the fast-paced lifestyle that everyone leads in today's society, it is not hard to understand why people neglect the art of tea drinking. Tea packets are often used as a substitute to reduce tea preparation time. But a recent discovery, however, has shown that there is a much better alternative to such tea packets. Eat Drink Tea® bioactive Pu'er essence contains more flavour than any other normal tea bags and also saves preparation time. The essence contains organic tea leaves from the best tea trees in Yunnan's prehistoric forest. After filtering and purification, these tea leaves are then transformed into Pu'er essence.
