Led Zeppelin lets the 'Good Times' roll 2007-12-10 22:21:00 After that performance, Led Zeppelin
really must go on tour. The reunited rock 'n' roll legends were superb Monday in their first full concert in nearly three decades, mixing in classics like "Stairway to Heaven" and "Black Dog" with the thumping "Kashmir" and the hard-rocking "Dazed and Confused." The band's three surviving members — singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones — were joined by the late John Bonham's son Jason on drums. And it was the newest member of the band that was given the honor of kicking off the sold-out benefit show, pounding out the beat before the others joined in on a near-perfect "Good Times
Bad Times." After the lights went down at the O2 Arena, newsreel footage of the band arriving in Tampa, Fla., for a 1973 performance was projected onstage. Then Bonham jumped in, soon to be joined by the rest. They followed that with "Ramble On," and with it destroyed all rumors that the 59-year-old Plant could no longer re Read more:Led Zeppelin

Indonesia looks to win 4 gold from badminton at SEA games 2007-12-10 20:42:00 The badminton competition at the Southeast Asian Games kicked off yesterday, with Indonesia
hoping to win four gold medals in the event to add to its bag. Indonesian men's and women's teams will play today, facing the winners from the qualification round, the Jakarta Post daily reported yesterday. With the absence of world No. 2 Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia -- runner-up in the Super Series at the Hong Kong Open two weeks ago -- Taufik Hidayat and Sony Dwi Kuncoro are expected to smooth the victory path for Indonesia. They are also tipped to set up an all-Indonesian final in the men's singles. Their possible stumbling blocks will be host shuttler Ponsana Boonsak and Ronald Susilo of Singapore, said the report. Indonesian women's singles -- Adriyanti Firdasari, Maria Kristin Yulianti and Pia Zebadiah Bernadet -- will take advantage of the absence of Malaysia's sweetheart Wong Mew Choo due to injury. Their toughest rivals will be Singaporeans Li Li and Julia Wong. At the 2
Mayweather delivers a pound-for-pounding 2007-12-09 21:51:00 He stops Hatton in the 10th round by knocking him down twice, keeping his record perfect and handing the British fighter his first defeat.LAS VEGAS -- Floyd Mayweather
Jr. boxed the heart out of Ricky Hatton on Saturday night, repeatedly pounding the gutty Englishman on his way to a 10th-round technical knockout that confirmed the flashy welterweight champion as his sport's most skilled tactician.Mayweather (39-0, 25 knockouts) completed a night-long destruction of Hatton in the 10th by first sending him crashing downward into a corner post pad. Later, Mayweather ended his punching artistry with another left hook and an overhead right.Hatton staggered slowly backward, then fell on his back, as referee Joe Cortez waved off the fight between the two unbeatens."A true champion can adapt to anything," Mayweather said. "I knew it'd be tough, that he'd try to bust me up."He called his decisive left a "check hook" that he learned years ago as an amateur in Michigan."He walked right into it
Fernando Alonso offered Renault drive for 2008 2007-12-06 07:17:00 Renault boss Flavio Briatore has confirmed he has offered FernandoAlonso
a drive
at his former team in 2008. Alonso announced his departure from McLaren yesterday after a fraught year with the team that saw him fail to win a third consecutive drivers’ championship by a single point. Renault endured a torrid 2007, the sole highlight being a podium finish in the Japanee Grand Prix for Heikki Kovalainen. However the team began work on its 2008 challenger in August as is confident that it understands the tyre and aerodynamic problems that plagued it throughout 2007. It remains to be seen which Renault driver Alonso might replace. Although Giancarlo Fisichella has performed poorly for the team he proved a useful number two to Alonso in 2005-6, rarely taking points off the Spaniard. It has been suggested that Kovalainen might join Lewis Hamilton at McLaren in Alonso’s place. But the Spanish driver has also been linked to a drive at Ferrari from 2009, indicating he may only spend a year Read more:Renault

Animated banner with rotating headlines 2007-12-02 23:45:00 This article is about creating a nice looking banner that incorporates rotating headlines
of your 5 recent Blog articles. If you have submitted your Blog to different Blog Directories, you would come across some which ask for your banner. It is nothing more than a picture to represent your Blog.Nonetheless, a nicely designed banner can attract more visitors and add a touch of professionalism to your Blog. I am not a graphic designer and I believe you can produce much nicer pictures. There are also GIF animator softwares on the net which will help you create a moving image, blinking text, and so on. What I intend to do here is to share with you alternative ideas on how you can create your own unique animated banner.Look at this example I made for my other blog. Notice how the titles of the 5 recent posts, taken from the site's feed, are rotated in the banner. Instead of a plain image, the headline animation adds life and attracts readers who want to read the details of your articles t
Dell Introduces the Next Da Vinci 2007-12-02 23:35:00 Dell is announcing today that it will partner with WPP, who will join Dell to create a new global integrated marketing and communications agency.Together with the WPP agency, Dell is creating a new marketing model designed to further propel Dell’s growth. We’ve been calling this “Project DaVinci
” because we’ve been looking for the combination of artist and scientist – an agency that has both the creative horsepower and ability to measure the business impact of their work.The agency will be charged with building shareholder value via programs that are centered on “creativity with a business purpose”. We believe this is the first time a global client and agency have come together to redefine the “agency” on such a scale. The process started with Vice President of Global Marketing, Casey Jones, joining Dell eight months ago and discovering that the company was working with more than 800 agencies worldwide. Project Da Vinci was soon started and, as Casey has often said,

You can always stream tv shows from places like nbc.com or abc.com. Just over the last few months many tv shows can be watched online.What many people want to do is channel surf and watch tv live as it happens. This can be done in multiple ways.

Yahoo! Versus Google - Does Yahoo! Stand a Chance at Winning ? 2007-11-26 06:31:00 WHAT WAS TERRY SEMEL THINKING ?One of the last desperate gasps of corporate manuvering that ex-CEO of Yahoo
! Terry Semel did, was to offer a full quarter of Yahoo! stock to News Corp. in exchange for the ownership of MySpace.com that News Corp. had forked out over $580 million for two years ago. Needless to say, that lame duck deal never saw the light of day, as Semel has since left Yahoo! for greener pastures in the internet world, leaving the far superior-thinking Jerry Yang at the helm of Yahoo! for the immediate future. Semel's horrible management of Yahoo! over the past five years was a combination of misinformed business decisions concerning the future of the internet itself, and the lack of Semel's ability to cut through the corporate bureaucracy that has allowed Google
to leap past Yahoo! to become the #1 search engine that it currently is today. Everyone in Silicon valley realized that Semel had to leave Yahoo! if the company ever wanted to gain back the ground that Semel ha Read more:Stand

Sony set to release new NR Series VAIO laptops 2007-11-24 22:21:00 t looks like Sony
's about to add yet another addition to its VAIO line-up, with NotebookReview now reporting that the company will soon be releasing a pair of laptops
in its new NR Series. Apparently headed for Europe first, these will each boast 15.4-inch WXGA displays, with the higher-end charcoal-colored model packing a 2GHz T7250 Core 2 Duo processor and the lower-end silver-colored model scaling things back to 1.5GHz T5250. Otherwise, the two seem to be more or less identical, each relying on the standard Intel X3100 graphics, and each coming equipped with a 200GB hard drive, along with the usual ExpressCard and memory card slots. While there's no official word on pricing or availability just yet, NotebookReview speculates that they could be coming this fall for as little as $899 for the base configuration.Source : www.engadget.com
Sony PS3 sales rise after the price cut 2007-12-21 07:55:00 Sales in the Sony
PS3 have risen over 250% in the US and have also overtaken the Wii in Japan for the first time.Latest figures from the US show price
-cutting there has seen sales leap by around 250 per cent in the week ending 11 November, compared to weeks before the October price snip and launch of the new 40GB model.In Japan, a traditional Nintendo stronghold, it's the same story with the PS3 finally managing to outsell the mighty Wii to the tune of over 20,000 consoles in the last week.I suspect that the main reason the PS3 overtook the Wii in Japan is because of the worldwide shortage of the Nintendo Wii.Stock of the Wii is selling out as soon as it hits the shelves, and the demand over the Christmas period is going to be huge, but Nintendo seem to have trouble keeping up with the demand for the Wii, so I suspect a lot of people who can't get their hands on a Wii will be buying a PS3.Source : gadgettastic.com

Coleen McLoughlin and Wayne Rooney marriage deal 2007-12-20 20:20:00 It seems the sky's the limit when it comes to how much the media are willing to pay to get the photo rights to celebrity weddings. I am surprised however that the forthcoming joining of footballer WayneRooney
and his chav-turned-Vogue-model girlfriend Coleen McLoughlin is going to top the scale at a cool £1.5 million, offered by Hello! magazine. It beats Mr and Mrs Hurley by £500k, but then again Liz couldn't offer Hello! exclusive rights to her 21st birthday party (40th maybe, but certainly not 21st!).Wayne and Coleen have been engaged since 2003 and the wedding is planned for next year.

Air Jordan XX3 (Jordan 23) First Look 2007-12-20 19:46:00 At last photos of the Jordan
XX3. The first release of the Jordan XX3 (Jordan 23) is only a little more than a month away in a different color up, but at last there are some photos of the shoes so one can start to form their opinion. It has been said by many at Jordan Brand that one of the goals of this shoe is that they wanted to make something impossible to counterfeit perfectly. Though there are already fakes floating around, they are extremely easy to spot. The most complex cosmetic detail to the shoes is the stitching on the side of the sneaker. With the "M" and "J" from Jordan's John Hancock, these bring a whole new meaning to the "signature shoes" (Jordan's signature after the jump). Air Randy is a whiz at getting Jordans early, but the same can't exactly be said about his photo skills. It is great to see the products, but they can only look better in person.Source : nicekicks.com Read more:First
