The Best Bluetooth In Ear Headphones Ever?
It’s about time the Bluetooth headset shed the nerd-factor! This design by Erjon Hatillari was inspired by the simplicity of the Sony Vaio’s On/Off button and is almost as small. Using the same unique color scheme as the Vaio, the rechargeable earpiece’s chrome detail glows green during a call and orange when charging. In the form of a single earbud with one large button control, this design combines easy-to-use functionality with basic ergonomics into one sharp looking earpiece.Designer: Erjon Hatillari

Well this weekend see’s the London Notting Hill Carnival back over the bank holiday weekend. There is only one classic track (which is played for the two days then put to bed) we could feature, that of Arrow.
“Hot Hot Hot” is a song by Montserrat musician Arrow featured on his 1982 studio album Hot Hot Hot. Written by Arrow himself, the song became an instant dance floor hit and was later covered by artists around the world, most notably in 1987 by American singer David Johansen under the name Buster Poindexter.

Rapper K’Naan Visits Somalia At The Height Of Its Devastating Famine
At the height of a deadly famine, Somali-born rapper K’Naan took time off to visit his native country which has been ravaged by a famine brought on by drought and the inability for aid to reach those most devastated because of militant groups.
Forbes.com reports that the rapper, who now resides in Canada, visited Mogadishu and the city’s Banadir Hospital on Sunday (August 21).
“I came to Somalia to see the situation here and give any donation I have to the people and anything else available,” said the rapper, according to Forbes.com. “I will do all I can to help my people in Somalia.”
K’Naan’s visit over the weekend marks his first visit to Somalia in over two decades.
A report by MSNBC on August 5, 2011 states that 29,000 children under the age of five have died as a result of the famine.
