It is quite warm, hopefully it will cool down soon get some rain :). Ooooh, orange sky, I hear thunder.....
From Matt: Apparently Google shares have hit $500. I suppose this makes Googles stockholders very happy, and myself very left out as I am not one of them. Continuing a recent surge driven by Wall Street's high expectations for the company, Google's shares rose $US9.67 ($A12.57), or nearly two per cent, to $US504.72 ($A656.12) in morning trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
An unusual concept for vending machines is set to appear in the next couple of years. Zoom Systems is the brainchild of Gower Smith, an Australian-born San Francisco-based entrepreneur, who in the late 1990s thought of selling printer cartridges from a vending machine. Mr Smith took the idea to San Francisco in 2000, and now Zoom Systems' robotic machines sell everything from acne cream to iPods.
This Ebay auction gave me a laugh. Reminded me of the post I saw ages ago which went along the lines of "I have a P3 machine and a friend gave me a P1, where do I plug it in to get a P4???".
Apparently Steven Spielburg aint too happy about his movies being viewed on portable video players. "That's one medium where I have to draw the line," he said. "We'll shoot for television and the movies and let there be a wide gap" between that and the small 3-inch screen. He also said that he felt that people are social animals who will choose to go out to a movie rather than watch a show on widescreen.
Reading this and this should give you a laugh.
