			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stalwart Apple&#8217;s Phil Schiller took the stage to present the following range of iPod, but not before some interesting facts delusion. The iPod now has 73.8 percent of the U.S. market, with Microsoft having only 1.1 percent of the pie.</p>
<p>&#8220;Just over 50 percent of customers are new to the iPod is the iPod first, called Schiller, will say the iPod Touch is the&#8221; fastest growing line of iPod. &#8221; So far we have sold 20 million iPods Touch, as well as the 30 million iPhones.</p>
<p>With gaming capabilities on the iPhone and iPod Touch, Schiller said that the Sony PSP has 607 titles, the Nintendo DS 3680, and the iPod Touch and iPhone is 21,178. Amazing things.</p>
<p><center><a href='http://img246.imageshack.us/i/itouch64w300.jpg/'><img src='http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/5079/itouch64w300.jpg' border='0' alt='Image Hosted by ImageShack.us'/></a></center></br></p>
<p>Assassin&#8217;s Creed 2 demonstration platforms for iPhone and iPod Touch, available later this year. Users can take pictures of your picture library and download the game, using art &#8220;game&#8221; as a &#8220;wanted&#8221; poster on the wall.</p>
<p>Bart Decrem, CEO of Tapulous, has taken the next step to show the next game Tap Tap. With one million players just three weeks after Tap Tap Revenge has been added to the App Store, Riddins tape seems willing to continue the success. As a fusion of Wipeout and Tap Tap, seems pretty decent.</p>
<p>Mark Hickey, Gameloft showed his next game, Nova, used multi-players.<br />
EA&#8217;s Madden NFL game generously in the App Store, which is a boon for Apple. It seems a bit boring for us but never really understood the NFL anyway.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is something for everyone at the Touch and iPhone, Schiller said, with more than 21,000 game titles and entertainment on the App Store.</p>
<p>&#8220;$ 199 is a magic price in the market for iPod,&#8221; Schiller said, announcing that the iPod Touch will be reduced in price of only $ 199 for the 8GB model. For $ 299, customers can get a 32GB model and $ 399 for just a 64 GB model stores will be added. That is 50 percent faster in &#8220;almost everything you do.&#8221; &#8220;This is what distinguishes the next generation will use&#8221; apparently.</p>
<p>Turning to the iPod Classic, which now offer a 160GB model for $ 249. The iPod Shuffle, meanwhile, will be available in five colors from today, with black, pink, green and blue to reach the silver model. $ 59 for the 1GB model, $ 79 for the 4GB model. A special edition model stainless steel is also available for $ 99, with 4 GB of storage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Known for producing quality electronics, Sony is also one of the pioneers and the best producers of digital camera. Truly using a Sony digital camera is embracing perfection with its many features exclusive to a Sony digital camera.</p>
<p>Indeed, one of the best ways to capture your memories forever is thru photos and what better to do it than with a Sony digital camera. Photos are used to remember or when we reminisce of the wonderful times of our lives. And only vivid and detailed photos can help us bring back all those memories. And quality photos are exactly what a Sony digital camera offers to its consumers.</p>

<p>A higher version of the L1 is the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P200. Almost same in all respect with the L1 expect this baby is a 7.2 mega pixel Sony digital camera.</p>
<p>For those who are serious in their craft, the right Sony digital camera for you id the Cyber-shot DSC-F828.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever since, Kodak has always been associated with photographs. Kodak is primarily known for producing quality films and photograph that capture our smiles and tender moments, so it&#8217;s no big surprise that Kodak ventured with camera business. Starting out with analog or conventional cameras, they finally followed suit with their line of Kodak digital cameras.</p>
<p>One of the best and handiest Kodak digital cameras is the Kodak easy Share one. Only about $600 the Kodak easy Share one is one of the first new series of Kodak digital cameras supports wireless sharing of your photos. This new technology from the Kodak digital camera is a super-intelligent wireless (think Wi-Fi) snapper that allows users to instantly share and print photos without the hassle of using and putting up cable connections. This Kodak digital camera supports Kodak Wi-Fi card. The Wi-Fi card will enable the owner of the camera to instantly use basic web browser in sending images directly to Koda&#8217;s online storage and printing service. And of course, the Wi-Fi card will also enable you to beam your images straight to a Wi-Fi printer. This amazing Kodak digital camera includes a 3x optical zoom from its C. Variogon 38-108mm equivalent lens, an extra SD card slot and a three inch fold out touch screen display.</p>
<p>The fold out touch screen display comes with menu buttons that helps users customize their camera settings or edit their images. This Kodak digital camera also supports Video out USB and 3volts DC in adapter, just in case you&#8217;d want to just view through your photos while your batteries are recharging.</p>
<p>As with all Kodak digital cameras, the easy Share one comes with a Kodak Easy Share program that further makes it easier for file transferring and editing of your images.</p>
<p>Personally, I would recommend the Kodak dx7590. This is my ultimate dream Kodak digital camera. This is a Kodak digital camera for those who are just starting out with photography as a hobby or those who wish to pursue one as a craft. This baby is perfect for your practice shots. It is a 5 mega pixel Kodak digital camera with 10x optical zoom of a professional quality Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon lens. The dx7590 is one of the Kodak digital cameras that have the exclusive Kodak color science Image processing chip. And to check out all those amazing photos you&#8217;ve captured, this Kodak digital camera is furnished with a 2.2 inch high resolution indoor/outdoor display. As I&#8217;ve mentioned, if you&#8217;ve been wanting to learn the tricks of the trade, there is a manual and custom controls that you could always experiment with. It&#8217;s high speed, low light auto-focus with continuous shooting and bracketing modes, so you could always get your sister, girlfriend or just about anyone to model laughing, changing poses as you click away. The dx7590 has 22 modes and color scenes, so you could always mess the images you took using your computer, making the picture come out as older or earlier that day. This amazing Kodak digital camera lets you store pictures up to 128 MB, using an SD card (that you have to buy separately). This dx 7590 comes with the Kodak easy share camera dock 6000, for recharging your batteries or transferring your photos to and from your computer. The best thing about the Kodak dx7590, this Kodak digital camera is only around $500. Now, is that a bargain or what!? An almost professional camera for the price of a lower end digital camera.</p>
<p>Be sure to check out Kodak&#8217;s website at www.kodak.com <http://www.kodak.com> to check out their latest releases of digital cameras. The Kodak website also offers basic information regarding their products and its prices.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mercedes:<br />
This was actually financier&#8217;s daughter&#8217;s name.</p>
<p>Adobe:<br />
This came from the name of the river Adobe Creek that ran behind the house of founder John Warnock.</p>
<p>Apple Computers:<br />
It was the favourite fruit of founder Steve Jobbs.He was three month slate for filing a name for the business, and he threatened to call his company Apple Computers if the other colleagues didn&#8217;t suggest a better name by 5 o&#8217;clock.</p>
<p>CISCO:<br />
It is not an acronym as popularly believed.. Its short for San Francisco.</p>
<p>Compaq:<br />
This name was formed by using COMp, for computer and PAQ to denote a small integral object.</p>
<p>Corel:<br />
The name was derived from the founder&#8217;s name Dr. Michael Cowpland. It stands for COwpland Research Laboratory.</p>
<p>Google:<br />
The name started as a joke boasting about the amount of information the search-engine would be able to search. It was originally named &#8216;Googol&#8217;,a word for the number represented by 1 followed by 100 zeros. After founders &#8211; Stanford graduate students Sergey Brin and Larry Page presented their project to an angel investor; they received a cheque made out to &#8216;Google&#8217;.<br />
<span id="more-200"></span><br />
Hotmail:<br />
Founder Jack Smith got the idea of accessing e-mail via the web from a computer anywhere in the world. When Sabeer Bhatia came up with the business plan for the mail service, he tried all kinds of names ending in &#8216;mail&#8217; and finally settled for hotmail as it included the letters&#8221;html&#8221; &#8211; the programming language used to write web pages. It was initially referred to as HoTMaiL with selective uppercasing.</p>
<p>Hewlett Packard :<br />
Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard or Packard-Hewlett.</p>
<p>Intel:<br />
Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore wanted to name their new company &#8216;Moore Noyce&#8217; but that was already trademarked by a hotel chain so they had to settle for an acronym of INTegrated ELectronics.</p>
<p>Lotus (Notes) :<br />
Mitch Kapor got the name for his company from &#8216;The Lotus Position&#8217; or &#8216;Padmasana&#8217;. Kapor used to be a teacher of transcendental Meditation of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.</p>
<p>Microsoft:<br />
Coined by Bill Gates to represent the company that was devoted to MICROcomputer SOFTware. Originally christened Micro-Soft, the &#8216;-&#8217; was removed later on.</p>
<p>Motorola:<br />
Founder Paul Galvin came up with this name when his company started manufacturin g radios for cars. The popular radio company at the time was called Victrola.</p>
<p>ORACLE:<br />
Larry Ellison and Bob Oats were working on a consulting project for the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency). The code name for the project was called Oracle (the CIA saw this as the system to give answers to all questions or something such). The project was designed to help use the newly written SQL code by IBM. The project eventually was terminated but Larry and Bob decided to finish what they started and bring it to the world. They kept the name Oracle and created the RDBMS engine. Later they kept the same name for the company.</p>
<p>Sony:<br />
It originated from the Latin word &#8217;sonus&#8217; meaning sound, and &#8217;sonny&#8217; as lang used by Americans to refer to a bright youngster.</p>
<p>SUN:<br />
Founded by 4 Stanford University buddies, SUN is the acronym forStanford University Network. Andreas Bechtolsheim built a microcomputer; Vinod Khosla recruited him and Scott McNealy to manufacture computers based on it, and Bill Joy to develop a UNIX-based OS for the computer.</p>
<p>Apache:<br />
It got its name because its founders got started by applying patches to code written for NCSA&#8217;s httpd daemon.. The result was &#8216;A PAtCHy&#8217; server &#8211;thus, the name Apache Jakarta (project from Apache):A project constituted by SUN and Apache to create a web server handling servlets and JSPs. Jakarta was name of the conference room at SUN where most of the meetings between SUN and Apache took place.</p>
<p>Tomcat:<br />
The servlet part of the Jakarta project. Tomcat was the code name for the JSDK 2.1 project inside SUN.</p>
<p>C:<br />
