Virgin Mobile, a UK-based group, owned by British billionaire Richard Branson, had launched its telecom brand “Virgin Mobile” in India under a franchisee agreement with telecom major Tata Teleservices.

Interestingly, the company launched a plan in which the customer will be paid 10 paise for every in-coming minute from any network ! Also, After the first two minutes of calls each day, all customers will be able to call any local network for only 50 paise.

Starting from Bajaj’s first “New born Baby : Definetely Male” ad to their recent stunt ads, Pulsar advertisements are always as cool as their bikes are.

(Thanks Surya ! for the ad information )

You might have heard of the (latest) World’s Thinnest Notebook - The Macbook Air. If not, It is a super cool, super light and above all .. a super mac - “Leopard” inside it. If you have a look at this cute ad, you can imagine how thin it is.

MacBook Air is nearly as thin as your index finger. One of the best features in it is the multitouch just like in the iPhone. You can pinch, swipe, or rotate to zoom in on text, advance through a photo album, or adjust an image.
Unfortuantely there is no ethernet port, which you might find hard, as Indian cities is not Wifi’ed enough, But you can always buy an Ethernet to USB port . No FireWire, and optical drive, or enough graphics power to power a 30 inch Display (but you can hook it up on 21/23″ Display.) Apple claims Air to have a battery backup of upto 5 hours !

Suggested Retail Price is Rs 96,100 /- A bit more than Macbook Pro
