Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd has decided to take a big, bold step forward by launching a CXO Apprentice programme. The programme is designed to call out to any digitally-savvy, innovative and purpose-driven fresh graduates to compete for 8 exclusive spots to be an apprentice within Digi's top management team for a year. The challenge in a way, also helps to accelerate learning and develop real life working skills for top talents, by receiving first-hand guidance from Digi’s eight respective Chiefs (CXOs). 

Sony's latest XDCAM line, the PXW-Z150 is a new lightweight, easy-to-use professional camcorders with a 4K video recording capability. It also features a 1.0 type stacked Exmore RS CMOS image sensor that provides an impressive 5x slow motion in Full HD, and will be available in Malaysia on May onward. However, price is yet to be announced.

So a few days ago, HTC has confirmed that they will be releasing a new device soon. The #Powerof10 greatly implies that a HTC One M10 is in the making, and they are really trying hard to tell the people it will be one of the best phones to come in their latest video teaser. 

So as some of you may know, Apple may actually turn their Apple iPad Air 3 into a lesser version of the iPad Pro. But instead of going for the original 12.9-inch display, they're opting for 9.7-inch and could sport similar tech specs.

In effort to reward the Xpax customers who are Yonder Music subscribers, Celcom Axiata Berhadtogether with Yonder Music are planning an exclusive  live concert celebrating 20 years of platinum success with Malaysia's biggest star, Dato' Siti Nurhaliza on 2 April 2016 at Stadium Negara. 

Dubbed as Dato' Siti Nurhaliza and Friends concert, she will be accompanied by Malaysia's own regional superstars such as Afgan, Anggun, Cakra Khan, Faizal Tahir, Haiz Suip and others. A band of New York's fines young pop musicians and a full orchestra are set to join them as well. 

Huawei recently announced their MateBook hybrid 2-in-1 tablet at MWC but didn't really detail anything on their upcoming Huawei P9 flagship smartphone. Looks like we may see it sooner than you think as a teaser image of an invite for a Huawei event has appeared. While we're not sure what beer has to do with it, the P9 has been making the rounds in the rumour mill recently with leaks revealing tech specs like a dual rear camera estimated to be 12MP camera sensors much like the one in the Huawei Nexus 6P but perhaps with different lens like on the LG G5.

No other tech specs or features were revealed but we expect it to have the Kirin 950 (or 955) processor, 4GB / 6GB of RAM, 32GB storage and possibly a USB Type-C port. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet, but it is expected to come with the Huawei P9 Lite, Huawei P9 Enhanced Edition and Huawei P9 Max. Stay tuned for more details and as always with such rumours do take this with a pinch of salt.
