.)
The fashion designer is already working on getting her first ever standalone store in the English capital city and she also hopes to open retail units in Hong Kong.
"People say, 'Am I going to have my own store?' I would love to. That's what I'm working on at the moment. It would probably be in London, but in the not-too-distant future maybe it will be Hong Kong. Who knows?" she said.
The 38-year-old brunette is eager to take her business as far afield as possible and she sees Asia as a "very exciting" prospect, but the former Spice Girls singer is conscious about the dangers of expanding her fashion empire too quickly: "What I do really is not just focus on the US or England. I mean there are a lot of territories that are really big for me and Asia is very exciting. I'm just scratching the surface at the moment. I want take baby steps with this business; I don't want to run before I can walk."

Don’t fret if your country has been left off the list, as Apple has also promised that “many more countries” will get the iPad before 2010 ends.
HK Lego User Group Beijing Olympics
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Toys,
We love those Lego gadgets and couldn’t pass this one up. About 4,500 people that comprise the Hong Kong Lego User Group were so inspired by the Beijing Olympics that they created their own version. The mini-tribute measures 10 x 26 ft. and took over 300,000 bricks. Included are the Birds’ Nest Stadium, the Water Cube aquatic center (inside and out,) equestrians, cyclists, ping pong, and beach volleyball. It was recently on display at the Grand Century Palace in Hong Kong. We think it should go on tour. More pictures available via the link of the Daily Mail.

Jackie Chan Disappointed By ‘Rush Hour’ Films
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Action, Comedy, Celeb News,
Should we excuse an actor for making a film he didn’t even like—especially when it takes in millions of our theater dollars?
Jackie Chan, who co-starred with Chris Tucker in the Rush Hour series, is now admitting his indifference toward all three installments.
Although he never really understood the humor, the Hong Kong star participated in the original 1998 version in hopes of establishing crossover appeal. Money and ‘fan satisfaction’ were simply the motivators for the next two. Granted, he wouldn’t be the first person to admit he made a sequel for the paycheck—but he may be one of the few to admit he wasn’t a fan of his own work (especially when his movie is still in the theaters). And while the fight scenes might have been too watered down for Chan’s taste, American audiences liked them enough to help each film gross over $137 million or more.
So what do you think about this? Do you believe Chan should leave his preferences/opinions behind if he’s going to make a film in the US? Is it right for him to bash a series he was partially responsible in making? Or do you agree with his perspective on the Rush Hour series overall?

Robo Waiter Takes Orders
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Science,
This engaging little Robo Waiter is in Hong Kong taking orders with no backtalk. He shows customers to their tables and waits until they speak into his microphone. The message is then relayed to the kitchen where we presume it is still cooked by a real person. Peter Chow, Director of CyberRobotics Technology, claims that restaurant sales have increased by 20 to 30% since he has been “hired.” Although the bot does not deliver food, it is certainly a big improvement over that tacky Jack In The Box clownhead speakerphone.
