Today (28th of January 2008) is the 50th Anniversary of LEGO! I only notice when I visit Google where they changed their logo to LEGO bricks. I’m sure that most of you play with LEGO before. I still remember when I was a kid, I used to build LEGO sets. But now I rarely play with it because the price of LEGO is damn expensive! (I think it is cheaper back then).
Anyways, this is a great milestone for LEGO and I hope that my child (hopefully) will be able to play with LEGO! Gizmodo have a great timeline for LEGO and some interesting facts about LEGO. Remember to check it out!

Apple just announced their new MacBook series, which is the MacBook Air. The MacBook Air is the thinnest notebook in the world with the thickness of 1.93cm (when closed). I thought the MacBook was pretty thin, but this one is even thinner!
But of course there are some sacrifices for this thinnest. The MBA is lack of built-in optical drive, slow hard disk, no Ethernet port, not user upgrade-able (everything is sealed inside) and also the price tag, USD1799! (around RM5900) For this price tag, you can get a Dell XPS M1330 with better spec, but slightly thicker.
The system specification of the MacBook Air is after the jump.

Warner Brothers just announced that they will be going to be Blu-ray exclusive. I guess that this is the biggest news today. Currently, Warner Bros support both Blu-ray and HD DVD. But it will goes 100% Blu-ray starting from May this year. Is this the end of format war?
