Here are some pictures of Suzuki Kizashi from that Motor Show:
I know I know pictures aint enough you need more so here is a youtube video of this car from the same Motor Show
Yeah guys, there is a PR update going on. I was expecting it next week but it seems that Google was very QUICK this time. I have not seen changes in all of my sites but one of my sites has seen decrease in Pagerank and its gone to ‘2′ from ‘3′. So for now, this 2008 Q1 PR Update has brought nothing good for me. Lets see if it brings something good before Google finalizes those Pageranks. I would come up with more stuff on that today or tomorrow. By that time, you guys can participate in on going disscussion about it at DigitalPoint. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=636757
Bill Gates, The Microsoft Chairman has announced RETIREMENT at on-going Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. After mid-2008, he’ll leave the chairmanship and would start focusing on his Gates Foundation and its fight again Disease. People will associate his name with Computers for Centuries.
Bill Gates, who built his fortune equipping the personal computer, predicts that the keyboard and mouse will soon become relics.
The founder of Microsoft Corp used his swansong to the technology industry on Sunday to spell out a vision of a “digital decade†of telephones, televisions and cars that respond to voice and touch.
“This is the area that people underestimate the most,†he said. Mr Gates, who plans to retire from day-to-day operations at Microsoft in July to oversee his $37 billion (£18 billion) charitable foundation, gave a keynote address to a packed 3,500-seat Las Vegas ballroom at the world’s largest consumer electronics show.
He predicted that high-definition video “will be everywhere†from TV to wall projections to screens built into desks. Users will be able to roam in 3-D through virtual worlds when they shop or interact online with friends. Devices will connect seamlessly so that data is transferred automatically from computer to mobile phone, for instance. “When you take a photo, it will show up where you want it to show up,†he said.
The software billionaire has used the annual Consumer Electronics Show to unveil products such as the Windows operating system and the Xbox 360 game console. But his visionary predictions have not always led to commercial success, as in the case of the touch-screen tablet computer.
In contrast, Apple Inc’s touch-screen iPhone and Nintendo’s Wii motion-sensing video game, which allows players to connect wirelessly to the screen, have won popular acclaim.
Providing a glimpse into the future, Mr Gates demonstrated a device called a Microsoft Surface that embeds a computer in a table top, showing how he could customise a snow-board in a shop. Just by running his fingers over the counter, he designed a snowboard with different colours and patterns. When he was happy with the result, he placed his mobile phone on the surface. The counter-top computer recognised the phone and wirelessly downloaded the design to the web.
Mr Gates’s presentation was met by some scepticism because of Microsoft’s failure to unveil any big new innovations at the show.
“Part of this has to do with Microsoft being tired of announcing new stuff that doesn’t ever materialise or shows up in a form very different than what was shown,†Michael Gartenberg, a Jupiter Research analyst, wrote in a web posting.

I have always been a FAN of him so I feel kind of sad for him, what do you guys feel about it ?
I have come accross this new thing for making money online called ‘Pay Per Play’. It is going to launch officially next month and now is in its BETA. It sounds a cool idea and seems that it would work but I am not sure about that because of bad WidgetBucks experience I had. Here are some details about Pay Per Play thing. I got some emails regarding this program from someone, I am pasting them here.
This was the second email from that guy, in his first email he asked me if I would like to have details about this program. I replied and asked him to mail the details and he replied:
It will officially kick off in February. At the moment PPP are in their Marketing phase and are trying to set up Webmasters.
Basically, PPP are partnering with a major search engine who is confidential at this stage. They have 66,000 advertisers ready to participate. The way it will work is advertisers will pay to play a 5 sec audio ad on your site. As soon as someone visits your site, you will get paid because the ad plays. The visitor does not have to click on anything for you to get paid, this is what makes it different to other forms of advertising. You get paid for 100% of your visitors. The ads are contextual and will be related to your content/niche.
As a website owner you earn 25% of the cost of advertising. Therefore a site with a lot of visitors has the potential to earn fairly well. Also, the visitor only gets one audio ad per site so they don’t get bombarded unless you put their script on every page of your site. It currently doesn’t contravene Adsense advertising.
I can see the potential and thought being one of the larger sites in the niche you could stand to benefit quite well from the concept. Also I think with most of these things, the earlier you get on board the better.
After this email, I asked him some more questions and he replied:
The amount you will earn will depend on whatever the current rate for advertisers is. This amount will change and vary depending on where ads are played and how large the PPP network is at any given moment.
The larger our network the more money we all earn. We predict that revenue per play will come in at $.01 (one cent USD) to $.03 (three cents USD) per audio ad played on average.
Because you are paid on 100% of your traffic that is exposed to PPP audio ads your ECPM (effective earning per 1000 visitors) could be between $2.50 and $7.50 (and higher) on each page where you place the PPP code.
This is just an estimate and we won’t know the actual PPP average income until we officially launch on February 1st, 2008. You should sign up now and place the PPP audio ad code on your site right away. This will earn you the right to market this opportunity to others and lock in your slice of the action of those you refer on tier 2 and tier 3.
We have a full line of training materials available to you after sign up. We need you to get as many people as possible to sign up right away. In exchange we are offering you lifetime residual income off of the effort of others.
Weekly payments will begin after February 1st, 2008.
No other advertising media network comes close to offering this kind of compensation structure.
It does sound a great idea and I am going to try them on my websites from today and see if it works, I would soon update you guys about the results.
Just saw this and thought of sharing it with you guys. The Nokia 888 Concept Phone. No one knows if it would acutally come out, if it comes it would be something like this
