Cost: $130 plus shipping.
Personally, I think it's amusing but poorly functional?

MangaZ: a downloader and manga reader app for Windows 8
It is available right now on Windows Store.
I'm not really fond of Windows 8, but this app seems practical. I can see how in the future manga aggregators and scanlators can release apps.
MangaZ is the first Manga reader and downloader for the Windows 8 operating system and as such worth a review. When you start the application after installation you are presented with a list of the top 500 manga series on the left and a search above that.
If you are a fan of a particular series, you can enter it in the search to filter the results and find it quickly which is the fastest way to find a series unless it is listed in the top 10.
Once you have selected a Manga from the list information about it are displayed on the right. Here you see a larger cover, when it was released, the author and its genre. There is also a description below that, options to favorite a series, and to download it as a whole.
When you click on the download series button you are however informed that this option is only available if you purchase the full version. Free users are left with individual episode downloads, and while that is less convenient than download a full series at once, it still works considerable well.

South Koreans enraged by doujinshi that depicts rapper PSY as a rapist
 |
Nobody exactly knows why Psy's Gangham Style hasn't been that well received in Japanese charts, despite becoming n° 1 in views in Japan's Youtube. It is attributed to the fact that Psy never released a Japanese version of the song, a practice common among K-Pop stars to make it big in Japan.
From The Japan Daily Press:
"an unofficial manga made by a fan group, still to be released on December 31 shows a man bearing a striking similarity to PSY leading a Korean gang who kidnaps and then rapes a group of Japanese girls. PSY, with his “Gangnam Style”, transcended Internet and YouTube stardom to become one of the most popular stars of this year, and naturally his fellow Koreans are proud and protective of their fellow countryman and his image. Toss in an ongoing island dispute as well as some World War II wounds and you have an ugly mess in the making."

Anime inspired Greenpeace campaign ad
The video was part of a collaboration between Free Range Studios and China based Animaster Animation.
This is for their 'DetoxOur Future Campaign', which launched on July 2011. Greenpeace is trying to stop industries from poisoning waterways around the world with "hazardous, persistent and hormone-disrupting chemicals.
Their theme is heavily mixed with the Hunger Games.
