1. New age video streaming by Justin.tv

We’re already in the next generation of the internet age. If you’ve read Ben Elton’s futuristic novel Blind Faith then you’ll know what I’m talking about. In the novel Ben Elton portrays a world where privacy is an evil and everyone is streaming their lives on the internet.

This is how Justin.Tv works as well. This website came to life when an American, Justin Kan living in San Francisco, came up with the idea of streaming every minute of his life by setting up a web camera on his cap. This innovative idea by Justin soon became a huge success with people around the globe. Today, there are thousands of members who view videos, broadcast themselves and communicate with other members of Justin.tv.

The members on Justin.tv can do a lot more than just broadcast themselves. A number of shows can be planned by using channels on the website. These channels stream videos of the show and also provide a chat window which allows members to communicate with each other.

A lot of times the streaming videos may just be random queer stuff which makes no sense. Also, because of its setup Justin.tv is open to pranksters who spread rumors or play silly pranks on the community.

Logon to Justin.Tv to find out more and even experience this unique site for yourselves.

1. A new One stop community website – Friendfeed.com

After the success of social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter, Friendfeed.com is today’s hot topic. It is an all in one website. What does that mean?

Once you create an account on Friendfeed.com you can share your feeds with your friends on various networking websites and you can also view their feeds on this website.

You may think that this website is worthless, but let me remind you that, that is exactly what most people said about Twitter when it was launched. Friendfeed.com is designed and made by Ex-Google members who came up with this innovative idea of a one stop social networking site.

When you register yourself on Friendfeed.com make sure that you check the option that makes your feeds private, unless you want your feed to be read and seen by everyone on the network. Also, while creating your account you can opt to subscribe to a list of popular channels on the website.

Once you’ve created your account all you need to do is connect your Friendfeed.com account to your Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, Stumbleupon and other social networking website accounts.

If you’re looking for a unique way to advertise your business, think stickers. Custom bumper stickers can be a unique way to advertise your business and can be placed in several different areas around your neighborhood. When considering using bumping stickers to advertise your business, you’ll need to find a custom sticker printing company to make them for you.

When selecting a company to print your stickers, look at what different ones can offer you, from cost to style to the amount that can be printed at once. Compare the prices and quality of several companies before placing your order.

Once you’ve selected a printing company, you’ll want to come up with an eye-catching design. If your company has a logo or custom printing style, use them on the stickers. Of course, you want to make sure you don’t go overboard. Only place a few graphics on the sticker, such as your company name, logo, and phone number. Remember, these stickers are going to be seen by drivers and passengers of cars, and they’ll only glance at them for a moment while driving. You’ll want to come up with something that will grab their attention and make them think of you when they are in need of your goods or services.

To that end, you will want to make sure that when you choose the design for your sticker, you’re using good color choices and bold, easy-to-read print. You can find out more about designing custom stickers on the Internet. Some websites will take you through the process of designing and ordering stickers so you’ll know what to expect. Just like with anything else you do for your business, you’ll want to make sure you do your research and come up with the best plan for you.

Nintendo has been around for what seems like forever. Who doesn’t love the original Super Mario, and the classics like Zelda and Metroid? Satoru Iwata, the President of Nintendo doesn’t want to merge with any phone devices. As of now, Nintendo is doing fine and Iwata doesn’t see any mobile phone as a competitor.With all the apps the Iphone offers including a large variety of advanced and cheap games on the go, Iwata is going to have to consider mobile phone reviews and merge with a device of choice.

Nintendo DS and PS3 are awesome but they are expensive and can only be played at home. The Iphone not only has multiple games to choose from but the all the games can be played anywhere. They go where the Iphone goes. The Iphone also has a clear touch screen which makes playing games easy.

Perhaps and incentive to get Nintendo on board for the merge would be necessary. Iphone although great as is, could come out with a new phone capable of everything it already has consisting of storing and buying music, keeping up with business, internet, and endless applications however, the new phone would be specific to gamers and have a wider screen. The new phone geared toward gaming could also have a built in mini control similar to a sliding keypad that could pop out the side.

Some issues would be things such as the Iphone’s battery life. How impressive would the controller inputs be in an Iphone. Would they actually be worth it or would they realistically be pretty lame causing true gamers to want to stick to the game counsels?

Think back to our growing years and most of us will have memories of our first bicycle. We didn’t consider it to be as momentous as when we got our first car but looking back you only have fond memories of the bicycle and the things you did with it.

Well, bicycles are making a come-back with all the health magazines screaming at people about the importance of exercise. A lot of people are going in for the Bent variety but many stick to the old favorites. You hear about people cycling to work or in their free time and yea, it’s definitely a mode of transport that doesn’t add to the growing environmental problem.

So, we want to do our bit in helping you get bicycle-mobile by telling you about two of the best bicycles – one that has already hit the stores and one that the world seems to be waiting for with bated breath.

Let’s start with the one that’s now available in stores:

Montague’s Paratrooper: If you’re wondering why it’s called that, then the answer is really simple. It has been made with paratroopers in mind. It can survive a jump from a height of 1000ft -now, don’t go trying to imitate that on your own, Paratroopers use parachutes you know. The Paratrooper is a 24-speed, regular-sized mountain bike. You can use it on any terrain cycling as fast as your legs (or your physical condition) allow and you won’t find this bicycle heating up or making any noises. Montague says it only takes 30 seconds for it fold into a 3X3 sized pack, ready to be dropped from a plane. Well, we doubt you be trying that but the ‘foldability’ will make it easier to fit into your trunk for sure. Everything about this cammy green bike spells ‘rugged.’ Take a look at it and you might just like enough to shell out $800 without a second thought.

Alberto del Biondi’s spectacular spokeless bicycle design: When I saw a picture of this bike, I was stunned into silence by its beauty. I love the mind-blowing design. The clear lines and uncluttered look instead of making it look drab have given it an uber-sleek and stylish look. And the biggest wonder is that the wheels come without spokes! How did he manage that?? The frame’s going to be made out of carbon which is flexible enough while still being a sturdy and light-weight material. It’s meant for the style conscious city bicyclist who wants to go green and healthy with as much style as possible.

A shirt on Amazon featuring three wolves howling at the moon recently expierence a large increase in sales and now has over 500 reviews. So your thinking, it may not be my style but so what, who cares? But what makes it special is that most of those 900 reviews mention a magical expierience or effect caused by wearing the shirt. One review for the shirt got it all started.

This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that’s when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to ‘howl at the moon’ from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn’t have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn’t settle for the first thing that comes to him.
I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.

Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the ‘guns’), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark.

The shirts sales have gone up 2300% since the review and even BBC did a story on the shirt! Pick one up today and enjoy the magic.

40 mpg Hybrids may be great for some people but they are unrealistic gutless choices for the average American. Miles per Gallon was rarely even considered until the fuel shortages in the seventies and over the next ten years the average miles per gallon nearly doubled. Since then improvement has nexted to flatlined for the last thirty years with little improvement. With all the new found technology why hasn’t a car company come up with realistic car with good gas milage. If they made just one reliable, good milage car and actually invested in finding some ways to cut fuel usage like they did in the seventies they would have a winner on thier hands that could kick start the economy.

One Ford Engineer Has made it possible with his 3 wheeled, 505 lbs, green machine (although it is actually red). It is currently regisetered as a motor cycles as it has a 250cc Kawasaki Ninja motorcyle engine in it. It seats two people and has three wheels. A small but powerful engine couples with an great  0.16 coefficient of drag makes 125 mpg possible when coupled with motorcycle tires instead of the the regular wheels which average 105 mpg. Either way it is one of the most effecient choices when the fact that it runs on regular fuel and is completly street legal.  It was up for sale on ebay but no one ever purchased it but the listing is still avaible here.

These new security cameras are for the birds. Literally! Why buy a fake security camera that doesn’t do anything when you can ward off intruders but also improve the habitat of your nieghbors around you. One of these guys would be great if you are following todays “going green” trends and want to stand out a little from your liberal hippie buddies.

The new improved Kindle two is a book worms dream. With 3G wireless access you can download your favorite novels and newsfeeds from wherever you go which is perfect for those who love to travel. Its extended battery life is perfect for those who love to read virtually but find the short battery life of other online portals such as the Iphone simply unrealistic. With its wireless features on the user can read for up to four days straight without having to recharge it and with wireless off it can last up to two weeks. To optimize its battery life all you must do is temporarily turn wireless internet on to download a few books, which normally only takes sixty seconds or less, and turn wireless right back off. The ten ounce Kindle is the perfect traveling companion.

The Kindle comes with two gigabytes of storage to hold all your favorite books, much more than even the most devoted book worm would ever need. On average it holds over one thousand five hundred of your favorite novels. Free wireless coverage is provided to all fifty states and when available wi-fi can be accessed with it as well. All purchases are backed up through the amazon.com so if anything were to ever happen to your reading companion all of your books will be safe and you will not have to purchase them again.

Many people criticize reading a book from an LCD screen sucks the life out of a book and takes away the true look and feel of reading from an ink and paper book. Most first time users can hardly believe they are not looking at a piece of paper when reading from the Kindle because is does not have the look or feel of a cold computer screen at all. The Kindle has a wide six inch screen with no backlight so there is no glare or glow. It uses a new electronic-ink technology which displays small ink particles electronically just as any hard form of writing would. The Kindle flips from page to page just as you would in a book and the screen is easily adjustable to accommodate the differing sizes of books. If the text is too small you can zoom in too get a better look for those with bad eyes. You would never have to buy a large print book again. The Kindle two makes reading convenient that reading a conventional book would seem like a chore.
