8 Ways to be the best blogger in the World
Lyndon Antcliff wrote this great article on blogging and thought I would share it with others. This is a high level instead of telling you about what to write about, this you will have to find on your own.
Just make sure its something people want, I often find that a variety of people read my site and that’s what works for me. But beware of writing about specific items when you can stick to a general topic area and be able to cover it well while shifting within the genre without going off-topic.
New satellite to give Google Maps unprecedented resolution
With the robust amount of information stored in the Google databases, financial growth, Street View images and satellite imagery, it’s amazing that we don’t all bow down the the power of Google. We will probably see a Google Military that will dominate us into the United States of Google.
Sounds far fetched but when you compare technologies used in every home (especially Microsoft products) and business today, we are just one short light switch flick away from World domination by Mega-Corps.
The Last Guy is a new look for HD gaming
When I first saw the trailers, I admit I was skeptical about what this was going to be. This is an addictive game, just within the first few minutes of the demo, I was hooked and had to hit the Playstation Store for it.
How do you promote safe sex and cell phone use to prevent the spread of HIV?
Easy you come up with a catching song that you can add to your cellphone’s ringtone. Check out the BBC World Service Trust initiative and download the ringtone here.
What to expect from the next Zune unboxing?
So the buzz is HOT over a the possibility of a new Zune device which is has been passed around the FCC and looks like some type of metal apocalyptic homage to Terminator. Since this is most likely a black Zune that was poorly photographed, let’s use our imaginations for minute as we try to image what an unboxing for the new device would be like.
If your not a creative thinker then here is a video that will help you imagine the experience (recommended: wash your hands after opening this box)
Enjoy!
How the RIAA is ruining the music industry!
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has generated too much press (mostly negative) over music in the past few years and probably consider this progress to stop copyright infringements. They will probably also tell you that music sales have gone down due to peer to peer file sharers giving away music over the Internet to others.
Although the music industry has taken a hit in the last ten years as they attempt to recuperate from dropping CD prices or bending to music made available via the Internet through online stores for less than $1 a track. With the recent shutdown of Muxtape.com and the concerns over the possible closing of Pandora.com due to royalties being paid on the music. It is sad that the RIAA does not realize the importance of people sharing and exposing others to music. The RIAA is killing the broke consumers that can barely afford to buy all the crappy music that comes out today. (Can you tell I’m a Generation Xer)
Sony intros PS3-based video rendering system
What else can the PS3 power cell do? I have no idea but here is a new device from Sony to be used is HD video rendering in full Quad-HD resolution!!! I have a feeling that his is just a short point before we see all home theatre and other multimedia systems using the power-contender.
At the Siggraph 2008 exhibition being held in Las Vegas, Sony on Tuesday announced the first of its ZEGO-branded hybrid multi-core processing platforms for HD video production with the BCU-100 computing unit. The ZEGO platform is based on Sony’s Cell Broadband Engine first seen in its PlayStation 3 gaming console along with RSX graphics technologies, and was developed to cut the processing times of creating and rendering increasingly complex high-resolution visual effects and computer graphics.

HOAX: Harry and the Henderson’s cast member found or is it BigFoot?
After a press release was sent out detailing the findings of a Bigfoot, the notorious hairy man of the woods (not my uncle Chester so it seems), the Searching for Big Foot group has released photos of the creature they have stored in a freezer. Poor guy, one can only wonder what happened to him in the outback of Georgia, I’ve seen Deliverance.
[SOURCE:] Has Bigfoot Been Found?
[Update: August 19, 2008 – Letter to the press regarding the fraudulent activities of the alleged Bigfoot discoverers]
Solid State Drives for your Playstation 3
Solid State Drivers (SSD) are still a relatively new product in the tech world, so prices are still way to high for faster drive access. Although this will speed up your PS3 experience we will have to wait for the drive sizes to increase and the prices to decrease.
Just image it was a memory based drive, no more spinning platters but at the cost of $5000 for a 64GB drive, I will stick to normal drives for now.
If you haven’t seen the boot up times in action check out how fast a Windows machine boots up (less than 30 sec.)
Zune announces Back-to-School skins from skinit.com
Just received an announcement from Zune.net regarding skins available for your Zune device saving 30% on purchases. Adding some competition for skin makers such as Decal Girl who offer unlicensed skins for $6.99 while Skinit offers fully licensed art for $14.95 so dare to compare.
