GahooYoogle - Search Google & Yahoo Simutaniously

Microsoft Officially Announces Zune Digital Music Player
Finally, the tech industry worst kept secret is no longer a secret, Microsoft long rumored digital music player is here, unveiled to the world on September 14, Microsoft Zune has a built in FM Tuner and wireless capability. It comes with 30GB Hard disk - meaning to say it not for people who love sports, it will hold around 7,500 songs, 25,000 pictures or 100 hours of video.
According to J Allard, Microsoft’s vice president of design and development, “The digital music entertainment revolution is just beginning.” Its just plain old Microsoft, the miss the internet revolution, the computer revolution and now the digital revolution, and now they claim its just the beginning.
Apple phone on track for early ‘07 ?
Think secret has this article of Apple’s latest and soon to be release super toy for adults. Its a Apple Phone for the masses. Now, I can’t really imagine that, seeing that ipod is a run away success in the portal music player market doesn’t mean Apple’s phone will be the next Motorola Razr or the LG’s Chocolate.
Apple’s product has this cool factor, like marijuana. Hooking a person into wanting more but when it comes to serious buyers, Apple lost it all. Just take a look at their ipod player. Every year they increase the capacity and shrink it a little, there is virtually no major improvement. Yeah, it plays video - so what? Sandisk Sansa music player doesn’t have the cool factor that ipod has, but interm of features, Sansa is loaded and the best part is it has a FM Tuner.
At the time, Apple was said to be encountering “significant technological hurdles” in its attempts to essentially re-invent the cell phone with an innovative ground-up design. Since then, Apple has scaled back its ambitions and has opted to go with several off-the-shelf parts for what will be the first of at least two or three different phones that sources say Apple hopes to deliver in 2007.
Apple’s product are usually over-price with limited features and locked into a whole of its own. Bill Gates was right when he predicted the death of mac during th 80’s and early this year, again he predicted that iPod will share the same fate, a slow and painful death. Let’s face it, to be able to lock a person into a single format is an up hill battle, for example the mp3 player format is the de facto of digital music, not even Microsoft with their WMA format can unseat it, let alone Apple’s AAC format - unless Apple open up their iTunes digital store and allow competitors with the ability to sell AAC format.
I’m thinking of getting a portal music player, flash based and there is a very high percentage that it won’t be Apple’s iPod. Sandisk Sansa is too good to be true, the smaller version runs on AAA battery meaning to say that I don’t have to buy those expensive Li-on battery like how Apple force their loyal customer replace an expansive battery.
Apple is good, but it could have been great if Steve Jobs were to run it like a business man, but then again, if Steve were to run it that way, then Apple would not have been what it is today - unique. Let us hope the next generation iPod comes with a FM Tuner. Forget about the video and games, I’m too old for that.
First Aid Awareness
Most of us know what a heart attack is, or the many other sudden sickness, but most us don’t know how to help these kind of people when they are in need. The international red cross is raising awarness around World First Aid Day by placed life size realistic decals of a person at the bottom stairwells in Cineplex Odeon Theatres in Toronto.
Its a picture pasted onto the floor, don’t be fool by it. The whole campaign might back fire, imagine someone freak out because of the advertisement, worst case senario would be some doctor or nurse rush like a mad person all the way to help out. It sure is embarrassing.
Your portrait painted like a propaganda poster
The reproduction is faithful to the original and Pierre’s face “fits” perfectly. You could almost mistake him for this Model Peasant who “works hard to obtain a bumper harvest”. Now it’s your turn to be an authentic Socialist Hero.
All you have to do is to take a picture of yourself and e-mail it to them, the best part is you will receive a free mock-up and a quotation, and if both parties agree on the fees, then they’ll paint an exact copy of the propoganda painting with your face in it. Cool right? Visit the Website, Maopost.com for more information.
Latest iPod Nano and Shuffle
As far as the new iPod shuffle goes, I think the new smaller form factor is a great idea—it’s even tinier than previous nano and from what I’ve heard, its cheaper due to the stiff competition from Sandisk. What Apple nano lack is expandable storage, FM tuner, voice recorder, and video playback. Video playback is not an issue, but after 5 years of ipod and still no FM tuner? Come on Apple, its about time, I want the ability to tune into the radio and listen to what ever channel I want and if possible record it in digital format for future playback - pirates. :)
The world’s smallest digital music player and just $79, the 1GB iPod shuffle lets you wear up to 240 songs on your sleeve. Or your lapel. Or your belt. Clip on iPod shuffle and wear it as a badge of musical devotion. Cool as it may sound but I’m not impress, its like buying a iphone shuffle and you get to dial a random number, still lacking of a FM tuner. Lets hope Apple will release next year.
A4 Papercut Craft by Oncotton
Down the River, 2005
Acid free A4 80 paper and glue,
You just simply got to visit this A4 Paper Cut website, this guy is a genius in paper cutting. I couldn’t believe that he actually did all of these with an A4 paper.
My paper works has lately been based around an exploration of the relationship between two and three dimensionality. I find this materialization of a flat piece of paper into a 3D form almost as a magic process - or maybe one could call it obvious magic, because the process is obvious and the figures still stick to their origin, without the possibility of escaping. In that sense there is as well an aspect of something tragic in most of the cuts.
