Massage Chairs

Massages are getting popular day by day. There are people who travel as far as to Thailand or India to get the perfect massage which is considered good for the mind as well as the body.

Now, we have massage chairs from Human Touch that provides an alternative to these really effective massages. These chairs have the state-of-the-art massage technology incorporated in them which are unique in the sense that they have perfectly replicated the techniques used by the professional massage therapists.

This is made possible by properly studying the different techniques like kneading, rolling, percussion and compression techniques from the professionals and using the robotic technology to achieve the same effect with the massage chairs

Is Google Image Search Legal?

In some ways not. According to copyright laws, it is illegal to display content from a different website on your own site; commercial or otherwise. Now, what Image search (or for that matter, Cache) does is use a frame to display content from other websites. Now, can that be termed illegal?

Well, we need to have an expert opinion on that, but I think it is illegal..

Horse Racing

There are a lot of ways to make money online. There are loads of people out there who research through manuals on making websites, learn programming, make websites, promote them all expecting that they will make money someday. But you know what, there is something better you can do and expect to earn much much more.

Yes, this is also from internet, and this is also from the comfort of your living room. This is on betting. I don't know about you, but I find it exciting to predict the outcomes of future games, analysing who is going to win and why. This is one particular reason why I chose to register myself in online betting websites.

The game is simple. You shall be told the future games that are coming up, horse racing events in this case. You see the past performances of the horses, the track record of the jockeys and then try to make a guess on who is likely to win the race. You then put your money on a particular horse.

Now, when the race happens, if your horse wins, you get to make loads of money. That is not something impossible. This is because if you do your homework well on the different competitors, you are most likely to make an intelligent guess.

Earn Money for Predicting Future

You can now earn money for simply predicting the outcome of any future event. Like, you may make money for predicting the US Presidential Election Winner or for predicting the Best Actor at Oscars.

It is, in my opinion, the fun way to make some extra bucks..

Why are Optical Frames Costly?

Optical frames are usually expensive at the optician's place. This is because these frames are manufactured elsewhere and reach the optician through a series of middlemen; each one of them claiming their rightful share of commission on the way. Zenni Opticals is refreshingly different. The Zenni Optical: Sell Rx Glasses $8 with case! are sold directly by the manufacturer without any middleman and hence they are astonishingly cheaper! And know what, you get all kinds of frames from them.

EXPLOSIVE PRINT ON DEMAND ADOPTION IS RE-DEFINING WHAT IT MEANS TO BE PUBLISHED

Blurb leverages online communities, print-on-demand technology, and shifts in consumer behaviour to drive changes in the traditional publishing industry


January 18th 2008 – Blurb, the creative book publishing service, is reporting explosive growth in 2007. People have more digital images and online content to feature in books, and are more engaged in communities in which they can share this content. These trends in consumer behavior, coupled with the economics of print-on-demand technology, are driving industry-wide growth in self-publishing. Companies like Blurb are changing traditional publishing by providing the tools to help people create and publish books on their own terms.

Blurb makes it possible for anyone to become a published author and share, market, or sell those books to a wider audience. Blurb produced nearly 80,000 unique titles in 2007. To put this in perspective, Simon & Schuster publishes approximately 1,800 titles annually, and Random House, with more than 100 editorially independent imprints worldwide, published 9,000 new titles in 2006. Blurb’s title output is nearly 8x the combined number of titles released by these traditional publishing houses, and as a result, the company doubled in size every three months in 2007. Compared to traditional publishing, custom print-on-demand books are more personal, economical, green, and profitable for the “everyday” authors who make them.

The self-publishing explosion is being driven by a dramatic increase in digital camera sales, which in 2007 grew twice as fast as the industry expected. 2.1 million DSLR units shipped in the U.S. last year – up 37% over 2006. (Source: InfoTrends). As a result, creative professionals and consumers have enormous libraries of digital images ready for bookmaking.

Flickr, the popular photo sharing website, just celebrated its two-billionth uploaded photo in November of 2007, and according to Technorati, 120,000 new blogs are being created worldwide each day. People are writing and photographing like never before and this fosters an increased desire to create real, tangible things like books.

“Although consumers are still new to the opportunities of self publishing, the tools are now in place to help them create high quality books using their own content,” said InfoTrends’ analyst Mette Eriksen. “InfoTrends estimates that the photo book market grew by 166% in 2007. This market will continue to grow as more consumers become aware of the opportunities that companies like Blurb offer. Blurb’s end-to-end platform that offers consumers ease of use combined with a high quality finished product is one of the drivers for market adoption.”

“Blurb is redefining how success is measured in publishing,” said Eileen Gittins, Blurb’s founder and CEO. “For some, success is creating a book that helps raise money for a foundation, for others it might be selling 25 copies of one’s own book, and for still others it might be a marketing piece like an event book or portfolio. Unlike traditional publishers whose economics drive a focus on the best-seller, Blurb is expanding the book market to include books for millions of very small, niche markets.”

To create and publish a Blurb book, users start by downloading Blurb BookSmart™ software from the Blurb Web site. Blurb’s BookSmart software is free, runs on a Mac or PC, and offers a wide variety of book layouts created by professional book designers. The software enables anyone to affordably make, share, and market beautiful, bookstore-quality books. Prices start at £6.95 and authors can order only one book or many.

Is the Bhajji Ban Justified?

Oh well, does the BCCI think they have won in the Sydney test racial abuse case over Bhajji? Ricky Ponting; he is a man I hate much more than any cricketer and he has made it look as if he condescendingly has decided to forgive Bhajji for his act! WTF? Why is Bhajji fined 50 percent of the match fee for something that never happened!?

And by the way, it is being assumed that Bhajji said 'Maa ki' and not 'Monkey'..Amazing, Monkey is a third degree abuse, but the former is just second degree!! I remember calling my friends monkey as a KG student..LOL

What language is the new Airtel ad shot in?

There is a new Airtel ad about 'talking to each other'. It starts with a boy having his food and he sees a football drop in front of his house. He goes out to pick the ball, and there is a voice that says 'Alleluruku aa ro'..It is a guy from the opposite side of a fence, presumably from an enemy country. The small boy kicks the ball towards the bigger boy. The two then decide to break into the fence and play in between the fences..'Barriers break when people talk'. Alright..But what language was that? I think Kurdish..No reasoning..Just that this language struck my mind the moment I heard that boy speak!

How to choose a web host for your website?

When you want to set up a new website, there are certain parameters that you need to look into so that you choose the best host. Cheapest is not always the most economical as I learnt once when I got to know that my website requirements cannot be satisfied by shared servers!

Anyway, look into the following parameters before choosing a webhost:
1. Diskspace
2. Bandwidth
3. Monthly budget
4. Set up costs (some are free while some charge exorbitantly). Also, check out the review websites on web hosting choice since they give a realistiv picture based on reviews, cost considerations etc. After all, why do the same mistake if somebody has already done it!

Holiday in Berlin

Have you ever planned on a visit to a country when the localites are celebrating? That is one of the best times to ingrain yourself in the local culture. Two of the best places to experience this are Germany and Austria.

Germany as it is said has amazing events all through the year. Like, there is Berlinale in February, then Festage in April, etc. What is most exciting to note is that during these times, the hotels in Germany in general and the hotels in Berlin in particular are simply loaded with foreign tourists. So, it is an international experience with just the hotels in Wien and those hotels in Berlin.

You can find cheap hotels nevertheless if you plan perfectly.

Online Casinos

Well, it is almost a year and a half since I started frequenting online casinos. I must tell you that it is one of the great ways to make money online. And not only that, you also derive a lot of fun and enjoyment out of playing in these online casinos.

But having said that it is not at all easy to win at these casinos. This is because there are professionals out there who know how to win all the time and so there is no way out there for newbies and amateurs to try and make easy money. But what I have realized is that it is not at all impossible to go out there and earn your rightful share. This is thanks to the excellent resources that let me know how to play and which all casinos are actually worth it.

You will know that there are so many casinos online that it is difficult to decide where to put your money. However casino review websites give you the idea that you exactly need to make your decision.

OnlineCasinoTopic is one such resource I trust so heavily because it provides me the latest resources for the decisions I need to make. It really helps to know the environment better you fight, isn't it?
