Banning The Use Of Gadgets While Crossing The Street

I may and may not necessarily agree with banning the use of iPod, cell phone and similar gadgets while crossing the street. Why may I agree? because this kind of device distract you while crossing from one side of the street to the other.
If you begin exploring your media or phone device while walking it can cause some problem, That is a fact, or rading a news paper.But are there violating your rights? Big question.
Why may I not agree? Because it may be all about the money. Has the insurance company something to do with that? Big question.
This is a bill proposed by NYC senator Carl Kruger. Will it become law? It may be a matter of time before it does. The question is whether or not every one can get distracted while using the device.

To read a complete article about it and the reaction of the readers visit the article at NewYorkTimes.com.

"What Happen Officer?" Sorry, I gonna Give you an iPod Ticket

Yes, that is the new law that may become aproved in New York. You may not, in a maybe close future, talk by phone, use your iPod or Blackberry while crossing the street. "How much will the ticket be?" US$100, big bucks.

Bill Gates: Will Work Part-time At Microsoft

According to an article I read in time magazine some days ago, before the next Windows launch that is coming after Vista, Bill Gates will work part time only. It looks like he will become a full time at the foundation and part time at the company.

Will Gates bit in the next Windows launch, for should he will. Bill is still, and will always be, the head of Microsoft. Maybe Bill Gates has decided to take a rest. But will he be back as the boss again? There is not doubt. Microsoft may need a strong leader, who better than him. I do not know if leaving for a while may be a good idea. The Operative System, OS, battle is getting closer every time, even thought Apple is far behind.

Nevertheless, it may be matter of time before the so mentioned Microsoft monopoly begins sharing its market. In the OS, Mac vs Windows. In the browsers battle, FireFox vs Internet Explorer. It is all against Microsoft. So Bill, if you leave, keep watching your Microsoft to make sure anything goes out the normal way.

Motorola Razr : Are People Tired of Motorola?

Razr phone. Very popular phone, is not it? but come on Motorola, is time for something new. Lets innovate your product.
Motorola no-more Razr
Motorola Razr "is a innovative phone" you could say that 2 years ago. Since then, all phones from Motorola look exactly the same, haven't you noticed that? If Motorola does not make a quick move, it will be out of competition. Both Motorola and the Razr. Moto.... has abused of their Razr design. That kind of company slows down technological advancement. People get accustomed to using the same product once and once again because of the design.

It is time for Motorola to create something new. That is if they wanna keep their buyer happy. They have to be ready, iPhone is almost here and it gonna take out of the way low grade competitors.

Note: if you phone is still working, there may be not reason to change it.

The PS3 "Going Down?"

PS3 has surely being one of the best products of the last few months. But how are people taking the new Sony's wave? The Playstation 3 is already in stock, however, it looks like people haven't shown That much interest as they did with Xbox 360. It may be due to the launch of the Nintendo Wii.

PS3 is said to be the most powerful of all the game machines and Resistance Fall of Man is considered to be one of the best game ever made. The success of any new video game device will be based on how good the online service is. So far, the PS3 has shown a great improvement, and they should continue improving and the wanna continue being the number#1. Halo 3 is around the corner, it is coming soon. But may this affect the PS3 sales? Maybe, maybe not.

Maybe it will because it is considered a very popular game in USA, and with less than US$500 you may get both, the Xbox 360 and Halo 3. Nevertheless, it may not affect in any way the revenues of the PS3. "Why?" PS3 in this year of 2007 is going to provide a new list of great games. "Yeah, but PS3 is too expansive," consumer almost don't mind about the price if it is under us$600. Why you think the iPhone is $499 and $599? PS3 the same price. Who wont wanna get the iPhone from Apple Inc.?

The big concern and bigger question is - are you ready to pay around US$2,000+ to get a High Definition TV that shows all the power of either the PS3 or the Xbox360?

OK. So you need to download some of those YouTube Videos?

The first thing you need is look for the video you want. Play the video and at the right side you will see something that says URL copy what you see there. Right click the click copy. That was easy. Wasn't it?
