The official unlock version of iPhone 3G from Optus. It will display the 'unlock complete page' after upgrading to iPhone 3.0. I reckon this page will display every time you restore the iPhone via iTunes.

Just to share this screen shot of showing - 'Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked' as I previously did it by jailbreaking to unlock.

There is a well-talented and special young lady that loves Motorsports as much as I do.

I didn't know much about this talented lady in Malaysia after a several times that my friends mentioned to me. From their word of mouth, they say something like - 'there is a 'lui'(= lady) who is professional drifter as her profession with 180SX and SR20 under the hood'. Well, there aren’t many ladies that I came across actually a die-hard fan of Motorsports.

Anyway, she involved in many motorsports activity since 2006 but mainly in drifting. Of course as a professional drifter, she had taken a several driving course that certified by AADA and SIDRA.

Anyway, check out her videos and you'll find her better than what I said. Furthermore during Yokohama Drift demo in conjunction with Super GT 2009 at SIC, she got a chance to meet Drift King himself Keiichi Tsuchiya as a big finale surprise appearance.

Lastly, I classified her as 'one of the kind' especially with her talents in Motorsports. Thumbs-up!

Japan Mag-X is speculating on the next-generation model of Honda CR-V. In the July issue of the magazine, there's a detailed report accompanied by an artist's impression of the 2012 Honda CR-V that is said to be introduced for the first time in October 2011 at the Tokyo Motor Show, with worldwide sales expected to begin shortly after.

According to a translation of the article provided by TOV member 'Dan', the report claims that Honda will have finalized the exterior design of the new CR-V by the end of the year. It is also stated that the 2012 CR-V will be built upon the current model's platform featuring modest increases in length, width and height (4,535mm x 1,820mm x 1,685mm respectively).

As for the powertrain options, the Japanese magazine states that the initial engine range will be carried over from today's model and include, depending on the market, 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline units as well as a 2.2-liter turbo diesel that is already on offer in Europe. Furthermore, Mag-X also mentions that Honda does not plan to introduce a V6 option to the range.

Unless you never visit fastmotoring.com lately, else you've probably heard that the new season of Top Gear went on air this past weekend. The highlight of the show was when former formula one world champion Michael Schumacher supposedly revealed himself as the man behind "The Stig's" racing helmet, although many suggest -and we tend to agree- that it was merely a publicity stunt. The first episode also includes a first test drive of the Lotus Evora, the Stig races the Ferrari FXX while Clarkson, Hammond and May set to find out what Top Gear may have been like sixty years ago.

Honda's Euro-market Civic Type R (FN2) hatchback has been called out for being a successor that hasn't exactly succeeded. Seems a bit of the thrill is gone from the new car compared to the old one. Now, Mugen had pick-up this poor little FN2 Type R make it even better than it once was.

We are unsure about the detailed changes in store. However, based on changes made for Mugen's Japan-spec Civic Type RR 4-door sedan, these pictures, and the fact that this car might take on the Renault R26.R, you can expect much: upgraded suspension and 18-inch wheels, giant front splitter and rear wing, huge exhaust, and a powerplant putting out 237 bhp and 160 lb-ft.

From what I can see from the picture, it looks like the bigger Brembo brakes might not appear, and the back seats will remain in place. Perhaps, it just a light tune up to the FN2 to the suspension setup, powertrain and body styling.

A yellow Lamborghini Gallardo that went up in flames for unknown reasons in Athens, Greece. Luckily, the couple inside the car made it out without a single scratch. When the firefighters arrived on the scene, this super-car had been eaten alive by the flames completely.

I am not sure about the possibility of this Italian beauty will burn up in Malaysia due to the heat in a hot tropical country. Let's keep our finger cross.

Recently, there is considerable speculation that the origins of H1N1 (Influenza A) virus are man-made. It could be due to the genetic makeup of the fast-spreading H1N1 strain of influenza, which includes genetic elements from bird flu, swine flu and human flu spanning three continents.

I know is silly to say and ask but it could be possible: It could be some world-class syndicate would like to conquer the financial market during this financial crisis, have assembled a team of reseachers to engineer and distribute a super virulent strain of influenza designed to conquer the financial market?

Technically, it's possible. The U.S. military, all by itself, has the know-how to engineer and unleash such a virus. That doesn’t mean they’ve done so, however. It would be an shocking when people can do whatever to reach their motive anytime they want.
