Pixolu is a new way to search pictures based on relevancy.  It can find pictures based on appearance, and help you find say a picture of pumpkins, but pumpkins in a patch, but no pumpkin pie, or carved pumpkins. similarity to each other.

Basically the pictures load based on a keyword, so then you simply select the pictures which best matched the result.  Pixolu then tries it’s best to further match the results to better fit what you were searching for.  In the end you should have exactly what you want… hopefully.

One of the most puzzling questions when making blogs is whether you will be penalized for creating duplicant from other sites, whether it’s content you own, or just stealing.  From my experience, there is no easy answer to whether you will be penalized.

1. You can get Google to index duplicant content in it’s search engine, occasionally beating out the original article, if your verison has better seo.

2. It’s asummed that Google won’t penalize your entire blog for duplicant content, rather individual blog posts might not get placed under duplicate articles in Google.

3.  From what I’ve had happened in the past, eventually Google will catch up with your duplicate articles are start taking them out of the search index, quickly killing your traffic.

If you need to use duplicate articles, it can be successful, but we suggest rather focusing on new content, and if it needs to be duplicate, simply rewrite it so Google thinks it is a new article.

The politcal world expanded to the gaming world with in game advertising, where you buy advertising that goes into games.  Billboards, road signs, or simply side panel advertising can be added to games to let advertisers support the game, and get their message across.  Barack Obama purchased in game ads in Xbox 360 games such as Burnout Paradise, Madden 09, Nascar 09, NHL 09 and Skate and are visible to players in 10 US states.

We wouldn’t be surprised if Google expands as well into in game ads, with perhaps Google Adsense for games?  Google will reach it’s hand anywhere it can, as well as publishers ready to take it, since it brings more financial support to gaming.  Which 1) May lead to cheaper games, but 2) Might lead to an eyesore.  Just think now, even in your games you won’t be able to escape ads…

People were astounded by what the GOP paid for the wardrobe of Sarah Palin, so much that bloggers have been stressing that you can get all the outfits of Sarah Palin for under $2,500 the price paid for just her Valentino Vest.

Tips for better shopping

1. Never pay retail price - Retail is always marked 2 or 3 times above what it should be.

2. Use shops like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Century 21, Nordstrom Rack to get things after they hit the original pricey stores to find them upto 50% cheaper. Even overstock.com is a good place to shop

Shop at stylish, yet cheaper outlets

Obama’s wife is a frequent H&M shopper.  There are plenty of trends to be found there as well as Urban Outfitters, sometimes even Walmart.  Who needs to be wearing designer sock anyway?

Govener Palin’s New Warddrobe

Budget Fashionista took a stab at gettig everything Palin has at the same price as one vest.

Governor Palin’s New Wardrobe
- 6 Suits
- 2 Blazers

- 6 Dresses (three business, 3 cocktail)
- 2 pairs of jeans
- 1 jean skirt

The new thinnest internet mobile device is here, the USI - MID-160 featuring internet wifi. The MID-160 has a 5-inch 800×480 pixel touch screen with 167,000 colors. We were pretty impressed by the specs of the MID-160 and the 8gb SSD drive is not bad at all.

MID160 Specifications

  • Processor : Intel Atom Processor
  • Display : 5-inch touch screen
  • Memory : 512MB
  • : Ubuntu Linux
  • Hard Disk : 8GB SSD
  • Wireless : Supports WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, GPS, HSDPA or WiMAX
  • Weight : 250g

The MID-160 sets to create a so called PC-like internet experience.  This means blogging can be more portable than ever, something we’ve already started playing around with on our mobile phones.  The MID-160 should make portable blogging even easier. It also has the WiMAX support so as more cities adopt this standard, the MID-160 is going to be really beneficial.

Sleep.fm is a new startup offering a wakeup alarm clock that is completely browser based and set to play a sound whenever you want to wakeup.  Sure it isn’t so complex but what is cool is the fact that you can wake up to the current time, date, and weather.  As long as your pc is on and your browser is up, you too can wake up in style and know exactly what the day beholds.

Since Sleep.FM is new, I’ve had a few instances of server downtime, but hopefully after traffic dies or they get a new server their  wakeup alarm clock will be a bit more stable.
