The Million Dollar dog

A Red Tibetan Mastiff has reportedly become the world's most expensive dog, after a coal baron from China bought the canine for one million pounds.

According to breeder Lu Liang, Big Splash is a perfect specimen and the extravagant price for the dog is "completely justified".

He said "We have spent a lot of money raising this dog, and we have the salaries of plenty of staff to pay" – adding that the new owner could charge 10,000 pounds a time for Big Splash to breed with a female.

Adult Tibetan mastiffs have been known to weigh as much as 286 pounds -- the same as a sizeable rugby player.

Tibetan mastiffs are thought to be holy animals, blessing their owners' health and security. Tibetans believe the dogs have the souls of monks and nuns who were not good enough to be reincarnated as humans or into heavenly realm.

Microsoft Zune's zeal ends as iPod proves to be Apple of the eye for music lovers

Four and a half years after Microsoft decalred war on Apple iPod do they realize that iPod is after all the most sought after music player in the world.Many experts have admitted that the lead taken by Apple in music industry was far too wide to chase.

Victoria's Secret Angels Debut The New INCREDIBLE Bra

Victoria’s Secret launched two new products named ‘Incredible’. The first one is ‘Incredible’ Bra and the Second one is also named as ‘Incredible’ Scent which was inspired by the brassiere. This ‘Incredible’ Scent will surely attract women as well as men, as this must be a first fragrance inspired by a bra.

The collection features two new styles–the Front-Close Push-Up and Front-Close Multi-way, that we were invited to test drive. We ended up walking away with the Front Close Push-up, that, at the risk of sounding corny, truly is kind of incredible. It’s super comfortable without being frumpy. The bra is racer back with self-adjusting straps so we’ll never again have to worry about looking tacky in tank tops with exposed loose straps hanging off of our shoulder.
