Internet privacy is an ongoing battle between advertisers and consumers. This battle might be coming to an end with Microsoft’s latest innovation with their Internet Explorer 8. Internet Explorer 8 is currently in beta testing phase. Basically, IE8 has a feature called InPrivateBlocking which let users surf the internet without leaving a list of websites they visited stored in their computer. The new version can also disable data files called cookies, which get imbedded on a user’s computer by Web sites and online advertisement selling companies to track their activities.

Video game console developers have been in a never ending war with each other and I believe it will never end. The video game industry has been an ever changing market with cutting edge technology in home entertainment. Many companies has been trying to get a piece of this multi-billion dollar market over the past thirty something years. A Lot of companies have failed miserably while some try to merge with other companies to stay afloat. With all the failures there are some that have succeeded quite well over the past quarter century. Every 4-6 years (average life expectancy of a successful video game console system) a new war wages between these massive companies with multi-million dollar budgets for marketing their new hardware. Perhaps the most recognizable feud is the battle between Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. In the front line, Microsoft has their Xbox 360, Sony with their Playstation 3 and Nintendo with the Wii. I decided to briefly break down the specs of these three systems as well as how they are doing in the video game market.

There are signals to tell you what may be wrong with your vehicle and what parts need to be replaced. I’ve had two used, older vehicles over 100,000 miles and one exceeding over 200,000 miles. These are a few natural problems that usually happen once the vehicle gets older.

Alex Lynn
Alex Lynn is one of the best models we ever worked with. She was very helpful when it came to picking out outfits for the car shows and the photo shoot. She also helped us get Sasha Singleton and Lisa Kaye to work with us. Alex pretty much helped me on everything regarding the models when it came to the HIN Night Shift car show & Funkmaster Flex car show. When I saw her in person I was surprised how tall she was. But once you meet her she’s one of the most down to Earth person and the biggest goof ball you will ever meet. Just don’t get on her bad side! Also this girl can eat! She is leaving the whole modeling and go-go scene for awhile because of personal reasons. Her last appearance was with us, R1 Concepts, so we feel very honored. You will be missed Alex and we can’t wait when you come back!

When I come in the morning to work and do my read on the daily news and sports to settle in for the morning before I start my work day, I stumbled on a car article featuring the 10 most beautiful cars currently for sale in the world. It did not surprise me that 9 out of 10 cars were European. One car that stood out like an eye sore was the 2008 Alfa Romeo Competizione, a sheer brilliance in car design. When it comes to elegant cars I can’t help but to think European. I think European car designers have a more sophisticated and “clean” look to their designs, a beauty that attracts not only the prestige upper class but anyone who gets a chance to see one. The competizione is a prime example of that classic European elegance.
