The revamped "We Are the World"
Recorded on February 1st, 2010, in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios, formerly A&M Recording Studios) "We Are The World 25 For Haiti", in which Jones and Richie serve as executive producers and producers, was created in collaboration with executive producers Wyclef Jean, Randy Phillips and Peter Tortorici; producers Humberto Gattica and RedOne; and co-producers Rickey Minor, Mervyn Warren and Patti Austin to benefit the Haitian earthquake relief efforts and the rebuilding of Haiti.
Academy Award-winning writer-director Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby), whose own personal efforts as well as those of Artists for Peace and Justice have already saved countless lives in Haiti, filmed the private recording session to create the accompanying video and behind-the-scenes production, and serves as Film Director and as an Executive Producer with Jones, Richie, Jean, Phillips and Tortorici.
The 25th Anniversary recording features over 80 artists and performers. The recording of We Are The World 25 For Haiti embodied the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. Every one of the artists who participated, regardless of genre or generation, walked into the room with their hearts and souls completely open to coming together to help the people of Haiti.

New radar gun for traffic cops
A new speed radar gun will be introduced for Ops Sikap XXI for Chinese New Year from Feb 7 to 21.
The new gun, the LTI20-20 TruCAM, is the most sophisticated speed-enforcement tool of its kind. Police have five of the TruCAM for now.
Federal traffic police chief Senior Asst Comm (II) Datuk Abdul Aziz Yusof, who officially launched Ops Sikap near here yesterday, said the TruCAM was a major improvement to the old DigiCAM used by traffic police since 1995.
"It weighs only 1.5kg compared to the 40kg DigiCAM, so it is much easier to handle. That makes it mobile so my men can use it while in a moving vehicle instead of a static speed trap," he said.

Sony still losing on every PlayStation 3 it sells
Although PlayStation 3 sales have been on the rise and Sony has a rosy outlook for the console's future, it turns out that the company is still losing money on every PlayStation 3 unit it sells.
According to The Wall Street Journal, which examined Sony's fiscal third-quarter financial performance, the company loses 6 cents on "every dollar of PS3 hardware sales." Considering the PlayStation 3 current retails for $300, we can safely assume then, that the company loses about $18 per unit.
