People are kinda offended with the promo of the song where skimpily clad mems are dancing on the words Hari Om Hari. Our source says, “Censor Board had strong objection to the […] Kareena was her candid best for an interview given to a UK based news daily, something that she never does for the Indian media. She spoke at length on the unknown details of her love life. Former Miss-India Neha Dhupia and India’s no.1 squash player Ritwik Bhattacharya have been dating for last 12 years. Among the longest running affairs of the industry. We thought Lara Dutta and Kelly Dorjee’s 9-year long affair was the most long lasting one. One thing that struck me while I was watching this movie was - the similarity to the plot of Chamku. It is a story about an innocent hapless child transformed into an informer cum assassin by those in power. Filed under: Computers, Video Games  We’re not exactly sure why those crazy Christians need to make Jesus-centric versions of everything in sight. Talking Jesus Dolls; preachy, porno-free YouTube clones; cross shaped music players; they just can’t leave anything alone. So it came as no surprise when we heard the people who thought ‘Dance Dance Revolution’ wasn’t godly enough were releasing ‘Guitar Praise: Solid Rock.’ We’re pretty sure you can guess what it is, but let us spell it out for you: ‘Guitar Praise’ is a ‘Guitar Hero’ clone, filled with (wait for it…) Christian rock tunes. Hallelujah! As if ‘Guitar Hero‘ wasn’t frustrating enough before now you can try and jam along with songs from bands you’ve never heard of, like Skillet, Day of Fire, and Family Force 5. $99.95 nets you the PC and Mac compatible game along with a plastic wireless guitar controller, and of course eternal salvation. [From: Boing Boing] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments Global economic issues are hitting adspend in many arenas but the internet is continuing to grow as a medium, a new report shows. Aegis Media has revised its global advertising expenditure forecast for 2008 by just over a percentage point. It now expects global promotional spending to grow by 4.8 per cent this year, rather than the previously anticipated 4.9 per cent. That may not sound like a vast amount but when you consider the epic levels spent in total across the planet, we are talking about a huge dip. What really interests me, though, is Aegis Media’s assertion that internet-based promotions are driving spending. Jerry Buhlmann, the chief exec of the firm, said: “With search now central to the planning and execution of any campaign, online media brings a greater level of accountability not just to itself but to TV, print and other forms of advertising.” It is an exciting time for marketers. Never before has a medium allowed such levels of control and analysis as the internet - it is small wonder growth is so considerable. Copyright SEOptimise. Original article from our SEO Blog - Search Engine Marketing Services Filed under: Video Games  According to Chinese state media, close to four million Chinese youth are addicted to “unhealthy ” Internet games. The Chinese government also think political descent and free speech is “unhealthy,” but we digress. To combat this moral corruption, the committee is calling for tighter monitoring of games consisting of objectionable content. That could literally mean anything they don’t like, but restrictions will most likely concentrate on pornographic and/or violent games. Another pet peeve is games depicting Chinese authorities or military personnel as antagonists. Surprise, surprise. The big push is for automatic time restrictions on Internet games. That’s nothing though. In 2006, Internet game manufacturers in China were forced to demand that players reveal their real name and ID number when logging on. Play on kids. Play on.

We’ve seen pictures of Sony’s ODO Twirl N’ Take, wind-up camera before. Here in Berlin, we actually had a chance to take this eco-friendly digicam for a spin. Ha, get it? We said spin to refer to this kinetic concept camera! Amazing.
Anyway, enough with our overly-tired, undernourished gibberish, the full-on hands-on is posted after the break. Continue reading Video: Sony’s ODO Wind-Up Camera Really Works Filed under: Television/Film, Foodie Flicks This week we’re on holiday, taking a break from our labors, so I thought I would give you something a little different. Instead of a how-to, I thought I would just share a little foodie fun. Remember Mr. Men? Mr. Happy, Mr. Messy, and the rest of the bunch pop up in the above Mr. Men Show, which dips into all things foodie with a celebration of cooking. There’s a calamitous run-in with seafood, cooking class, and more. It’s silly, cute, and perfect for the kids. Have a great holiday! Permalink | Email this | Comments |
