Posted: August 20, 2009 Title: Dawn of a new age in Adverts - video players embedded in magazines displaying ads!.
Remember those talking greeting cards? Americhip Inc.'s technology now one up's the technology used in those talking
greeting card by offering true video's in magazines.
Americhip's patented video-in-print technology
is the first digital technology that integrates
videos in print and allows consumers to download
content from the web directly to their print media.
The player technology uses a flexible, thin plastic TFT LCD screen which is 2.7 millimeters thick and has a 320x240 resolution. The player
can play up to 1.5hrs of video powered by a small battery that last for upto 70mins and
can be recharged with a mini USB cord.
USAToday reveals today that CBS and Pepsi will use
Americhip's technology by placing ads in the upcoming
Entertainment Weekly Magazine (release date sept 11th, 09), but only a limited number of magazines
will have these players. However, I am certain that they will be popping up on eBay in the very near future!
Posted: July 27, 2009 Title: Amazon Acquisition Map
How cool is this? The innovative people at Meet The Boss map out Amazon.com's acquisitions as of 1998. It is every entrepreneurs dream to build and flip to giants such as Amazon.com. Apparently Amazon's next generation Kindle product is selling well... it's great to be the world's largest bookstore...er, e-reader/pet store/video store/cloud computing provider...etc etc etc.

July 27, 2009 Title: Michael Jackson's return.... but as the zombie from Thriller.
It seems like there has been a lot of attention directed towards Michael Jackson lately especially with the controversy surrounding his death. I recently did a search on eBay for Michael Jackson memorabilia, and low and behold - the MJ opportunists were out in full force. You could purchase everything from a white michael jackson mask to MJ money. Now there's even talks about MJ's hair being turned into diamonds!.
The king of pop must be rolling over in his grave... and what if the king of pop returned back to earth as the zombie from his thriller video, now wouldn't that be a sight?
Well this is it! As I continually update my personal site and think of innovative ways to increase my web presence I, like many of you, have decided to start blogging! To celebrate my first entry I will light up one of my guilty pleasures... a Cohiba cigar - siglo II to be exact.
