Inappropriate Sex Ads

2011-09-16T06:49:00.000-07:00

We all love when inappropriately sexy ads come on our TV screens, we cant seem to take our eyes of them. Over the past two decades we can see that the use of sexual explicit imagery in any type of advertisement has become second nature. They are often based on visual elements such as attractive models, nudity and suggestiveness.

Sexuality is considered as one of the most powerful tools for marketing, especially advertising. So a little tip if you are planning on creating an advertisement and no genius ideas come to your head. Always remember this - SEX SELLS.

When Mustaches Make a Difference

2011-09-16T05:42:00.000-07:00

Some of us grow a mustache and some attempt to, some suite a mustache and some look awful, but whether or not we like to admit it, the mustache has been a popular symbol which really makes the difference. Imagine Super Mario, without his signature mustache he was merely a plumber. The same goes for Salvador Dali, who without his trademark mustache was simply a crazy person.

Take a look at the some of the famous people with mustaches and what they would look like if their mustache never existed. I have to say most of these men look pretty strange and ordinary with their legendary facial hairs removed.

New IPhone App Parks Car For You

2011-09-15T08:09:00.000-07:00

Experts of Park4U, a preloaded system installed in cars that allow owners to use steering wheel controls and sensors to automatically park their cars, have created an app for IPhone which enables motorists to control the accelerator and brake pedals in the vehicle while they are standing outside.

Reviews have said that the app will help when squeezing cars into tight spaces. But why would we want to cram our car into a tight space anyway, least other vehicle owners won't dint your car or leave scratch marks.

Can you imagine if everyone had this app in a multi-store car park? it would be insane! i don't want to be their waiting in my car for everyone else to slowly back their cars out of the parking space. and even if they haven't started reversing their cars. their still going to be in the middle of the road trying to figure out how to use that app.

Though i do have to say that this looks like it will be a major hit in the market for those who can afford it. but its still unclear when the application will be made available to the public.

Tomotaka Takahashi has created the first tiny automaton called Evolta.

Don't be fooled by the size of this green and white robot, it has already climbed the cliff walls of the Grand Canyon and driven in the 24 hour 'Le Mans' race.

Now the little cool robot is setting his sights on a Trialthlon course based in Hawaii. The cybernetic Challenger will have to run, bike and swim for a total of 143m (230 km)

'This is very tough even for a sportsman, but i think it is worth a challenge.' says Mr. Takahashi.

'The robot will encounter a lot of hardships on the way, but i hope it will overcome them all and succeed in the end.'

I'm curious to see how well this little fellow does in the water as i haven't heard of a robot being able to survive long term in any type of water environment. You can be sure that I will be cheering for this little guy when the Triathlon starts in late October.

It has been given a slight advantage with its time to complete the task being a week (168 Hours), which is 10 times longer than a human competitor would have.

Also Panasonic have created three different bodies with three rechargeable batteries to help Evolta cross the finishing line.

C'mon Evolta!!

No safety harnesses are worn by Marat Dupri and his team as they try to Devy gravity.

Mr Dupri commented saying 'When I'm on the roof, i feel that the whole world is by my feet, all my problems and troubles are left at the bottom. The height exhilarates me.

He also mentions that he started by going to the top of a 33 storey building with his friends.

'It was about 120 metres high, and we went right out to the edge and i started taking pictures. It was such a thrill that we couldn't wait to do it again.'

Marat Dupri admits that he has sneaked past guards to get illegal access to the buildings.

'I want to get the most spectacular pictures i could, like no one else had taken before. I think the risks are worth it to take such amazing pictures.' Dupri said.

How To Blog

2011-09-14T09:50:00.000-07:00

How Do I Blog?

Couple of years ago i started to research this question myself as i wanted to create my own blogs that people could read like this. After reading through several websites and explanations from the world wide web it gave me a clearer understanding of what a blog actually is and to save you all that time looking i thought i would create a blog explaining everything on one page.

So what is a blog you ask? well to put it as simple as i can a blog is a certain type of website that is usually arranges your posts in order starting from the most recent 'Post' (or entry) you added which would be at the top of the blog and working your way down it will show recent 'Posts' that you have submitted.

Still confused? Have a look at my blog here for an example. For another example if the first one didn’t help you can have a look at this one.

Most blogs are usually written by one person but not always and are updated on a daily basis. When writing a blog it is usually based on a particular topic and to be honest you probably already can tell that there are blogs virtually on anything. To make a blog successful it is always good to write about something that interests you personally or a hobby that you like to talk about, this makes it easier for you to update and other people are going to find your life interesting because there are always other people who share the same interests as you.

The whole blogging community has grown immensely over the years and with this, relationships can be formed with other bloggers discussing the same topic or not, and from this you can learn, share ideas, and even make friends or business partners all around the world.

So you have a rough idea about 'What is a Blog?'

And now you want to start blogging yourself and become successful at it. Well I’m going to explain what makes a good blog and what you need to do to begin.

Firstly you need to find a decent blogging provider that really appeals to you, the most popular ones today include Blogger (this is my favourite, just because I’ve used it for years now and haven’t had any problem), WordPress.com, Xanga, LiveJournal, Tumbir and Webs. All these sites that i mention have pre-made templates and push-button publishing allowing you to have a great looking blog without requiring any technical knowledge (Ideal for beginners).

Once you have signed up to your favourite blogging provider, you then get to choose from a variety of templates to have as your blog. Once chosen you can customize the colour scheme and layout of your whole blog creating it to suit your style. A little tip is if you don’t like any of the pre made templates available to worry as they are sites that offer more unique and visual stunning templates for you to add. For example PimpMyProfile.com and Pyzam.com.

One of the cool features that i like on blog is that you can add custom widgets and freebies like images, buttons, Imoods, A chat box (So visitors to your blog can communicate with each other) and many more all you need to do is visit myshoutbox.com and find the freebie you like.

When you’re getting started on your blog you need to decide whether you want it to be private or public, if you go private only you and whoever you share it with will be the only ones viewing it, though if you chose public then this will allow visitors from around the world to view your blog and leave comments or maybe even subscribe if they are really interested. Most sites offer password protection on your posts so only who you approve can view what you have written.

After you have your blog set up its time to write a few posts and test it out, this will help you adjust the layout or style of it to suit your liking. Writing your blog at first will seem tough to figure out what it is you want to wright about, but trust me once you get yourself into a daily routine of blogging i guarantee you will find it addictive like me. topics to help you start that you can write about are your thoughts, events, your fears and ideas, pleasures, the new and current affairs, art or maybe chat about your day, anything that interests you can interest others as well remember that!

A great tip is to create a blogging circle. This can be achieved by leaving comments and your blogging address on other blogger’s pages. Another idea is you can publish your blog by sending it to friends and family in an email describing your blog and try to make it sound interesting if you can so they are more likely to check it out.

My Tips for You!

If you keep updating your blog more frequently, then more people will return to it on a regular basis to read it, creating a group of readers to your blog will motivate you to write more and in turn will gain you even more readers to your blog.

Get into a routine! Incorporate it in your day, if you see something that makes you think 'Ooo, i should blog this!' then do. Spend maybe half an hour before you go bed posting what you’ve done throughout the day. This will help you get into a routine, and from that make you become addicted!

Personalize! Make it visually stunning, think about it, every time you have seen a blog you always like the ones that look amazing and are always catching people eyes by it. You don’t think twice about the boring blogs which will cost you to lose 50% of your readers. Would you read your blog if you didn’t write it?

you need to create a blogging circle and i have mention one way to do it, another is Google the topic that you have chosen to write about or maybe something that interests you, so that you can create a network of bloggers. Blogging Circles are the essence of blogging and increase your status of a blogger in the whole blogging community.

Try to keep your posts interesting, and don’t focus on the things that most readers won’t find worth while (for example ''I went to the shop and saw Chris''). Write about thoughts you had, or feelings and ideas, maybe you could blog about a trip you went on or an event you attended.

Once you have got addicted at writing blogs, you could start making money from them with Google AdSense advertisement, and if popular enough you might only need a part time job if your site is getting the traffic it needs for Google ads. A site that majorly helped me to gain thousands of visitors a day was this!

One of the major problems that new bloggers have is that they get upset because no one has visited their site. But from experience i say don’t feel bad, it takes a couple of months for your blog to get noticed, think about it! The blogging community is huge and it takes time not days to get noticed. Keep the blogging going and by the time you know it your site will be getting read all over the world.

Pictures add a nice touch to any blog so try to incorporate them, not to many though.

And that’s it!! You are finally ready to start blogging. Good Luck!

How To Be A Spy With Spy Helicopter

2011-09-13T19:17:00.000-07:00

Makers of the infamous X-UFO Silverlit have recently released a new flying toy, its called the Silverlit IR Spy Camera Helicopter and it has a 1.3 megapixel camera! The personal spy helicopter can record upto three minutes of video at 640 x 480 resolution or hundreds of photos at 1280 x 960 resolution and has a three channel IR remote control for flying in all directions. If your thinking that the video will not be steady enough to record a decent video i must tell you that it is installed with a sophistaced gyroscope meaning that you will get the steadiest video possible. The media took by the spy drone can easily be retrieved by plugging the helicopter into your PC via USB connection.

I can only find two set backs with this awsome flying gadget, one is that i would prefer it to use radio signals instead of infrared for the remote control as IR is degraded in bright light or sunlight. Secondly, WHERE ARE THE GUNS? I want a remote control flying helicopter that records video and has guns, imagine the video you could create with that.
