New speculation arises about the Apple “Brick” — it is an advanced manufacturing process where computers will be cut directly from a solid block of aluminum.

Apple is known for two things: secrecy and innovation. Both comes into play certainly when talking about the new Apple product codenamed “Brick.” Although Apple just recently lifted its non-disclosure agreements to further iPhone application development, the company remains on the hush when it comes to the “Brick.”

Much speculation has come to this mysterious product. Some believe it is simply a new Mac Mini redesign while some say it is the fabled touchscreen Tablet Mac notebook computer.

However, a new rumor has emerged admist all the talk. According to 9to5Mac Apple has spent the last several years perfecting a new manufacturing process that uses lasers and high speed jets of water to carve MacBooks out of bricks of high-quality, aircraft grade aluminum. Advantages would include stronger and lighter design, elimination of screws and seams, and more room for creativity.

Although this claim seems pretty far-fetched, you never know with Apple and 9to5Mac claims to have a very good track record. The “Brick” will be revealed on October 14, so we will see how accurate this rumor is.

Virgin Galactic, a private company to provide space tourism to wealthy tourists, was offered a million dollars to shoot a sex video while the participants are floating freely without gravity. Will Whitehorn, president of the company, said the offer “was $1 million, up front, for a sex-in-space movie. That money we had to refuse, I’m afraid.”

The offer came from an unidentified party and was not disclosed any further during the International Astronautical Congress in which Whitehorn announced he rejected such a deal.

Beginning late 2009 or early 2010, Virgin Galactic – part of Richard Branson’s Virgin Group — will be offering two hour space flights per person for $200,000. The flight begins at Sierra County, New Mexico and will be carried to 100 kilometers in altitude by the WhiteKnightTwo aircraft, which in turn will release the SpaceShipTwo craft that will allow passengers to experience five minutes of weightlessness as the vehicle reaches the boundaries of the Earth’s atmopshere.

Virgin Galatic has spent about $100 million to develop its business, mainly in research and development of the aircraft by Scaled Composites LLC of Mojave, California and has already received $40 million in deposits from 280 customers.

“Virgin” Galactic did not reveal their reasons for rejecting the million dollar offer for the sex-in-space movie. At $200,000 per person for just five minutes, it would certainly cause hardship to shoot a long one.

Some of the most outrageous ornaments are going to be attached to Nokia headsets. Although Nokia has produced stereo headsets in the past, this time they are getting a huge aesthetic overhaul with the help of the public.

Nokia launched the Music Almighty Headset Competition to find the most quirky design for their upcoming new headsets. Five winning design concepts will be tailor made into actual, fully functional products.

Going through the competition gallery, you can find pretty ridiculous ornaments ranging from spikes to feathers to metal rods. The competition runs until the end of December. Anyone can vote for the best designs, with the top ten highest rated being narrowed down to the final five by an official panel of music and design experts. If all goes well, let’s hope Nokia allows the public to design their phones too.
