November 2005 - Minx of the Month : Emmanuelle Chriqui

Emmanuelle has recently been seen on HBO's Entoruage as E's new girlfirend. Go to your HBO "on demand" right now and see the fire she brings to the screen. Emmanuelle is seriously "holding it down" for Canada.

why we like her?
Emmanuelle Chriqui is one foxy mama who we just know is going places. She's a talented actress with looks that can take her way up on the Hollywood A-list. We have to respect someone who's the saving grace of a piece of drivel like 2001's On the Line, that 'N Sync-heavy movie."[Via askmen.com]

Birthdate: December 10th, 1977
Birthplace: Canadian city of Montreal
Profession: Actor

Emmanuelle Chriqui was born on December 10th, 1977 in the Canadian city of Montreal. The Chriqui (pronounced shree-kee) family is Moroccan and Emmanuelle has both an older sister and an older brother. They moved to Toronto when Emmanuelle was about 6 years old and this is where she grew up. When she was 9, she realized that acting was something she wanted to do more than anything else. Her parents couldn't afford acting lessons for their youngest daughter but Serge, her older brother who was 18 at the time, dipped into his own pockets and paid for the classes himself. With her family's unshakable support, a 10-year-old Emmanuelle began her acting career in a McDonald's commercial, with a dancing cheeseburger on her sweatshirt.

More commercials followed but she had yet to be a superstar. After a few years, Chriqui relocated to Vancouver and began auditioning for TV shows. Supporting herself by working as a waitress -- a flexible job that let her make her own schedule -- she landed guest-starring roles in the mid-'90s, in Canadian series such as Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Forever Knight, Kung Fu, Once a Thief, and Psi Factor. Then came a succession of TV movies that allowed her to receive more exposure, including Harrison Bergeron (1995) with Christopher Plummer and Sean Astin, Unwed Father (1997), Principal Takes a Holiday (1998) with Kevin Nealon, and Futuresport (1998) with Wesley Snipes and Vanessa Williams. With these projects under her belt, Chriqui was ready for meatier parts.Hollywood came calling and she was offered a supporting role in Detroit Rock City (1999), the story of four teenage boys who try to attend a KISS concert. Even though her screen time was limited, it served as a stepping stone and her next movie, Snow Day (2000), put her on the map. In this Nickelodeon production, Emmanuelle portrayed Claire Bonner, the most popular girl in school. Once again, her name wasn't on the marquee but she left an impression and even starred in the Hoku music video for "Another Dumb Blonde" (from the Snow Day soundtrack).

Emmanuelle's next projects were the horror thriller Ricky 6 (2000) and the little-seen teen sex comedy, 100 Girls (2000). In the latter, she played Patty, a promiscuous artsy girl who turns out to be the most three-dimensional character in the film, having a more significant part than anticipated.

Just when things started picking up for the raven-haired actress, she got the chance of a lifetime and was selected to appear in the Steven Spielberg science-fiction epic, Artificial Intelligence: AI. Chriqui was on the set for three days in the summer of 2000, but unfortunately her scene wound up on the cutting room floor. The same fate awaited her later that summer when she participated in the shooting of Todd Solondz's Storytelling, with Selma Blair. Still making her way up the Hollywood hierarchy, she won the coveted female lead in On the Line (2001), also known as the 'N Sync movie because it starred group members Lance Bass and Joey Fatone. She wasn't very knowledgeable about the band but got to hang out with them for a month before shooting and built chemistry with the boys. In the process, she made a lot of teenage girls jealous. Chriqui's next role came two years later when she appeared alongside Eliza Dushku as Carly, a girl who is stalked by cannibals in Wrong Turn (2003). Currently living in L.A. and New York City, she has just finished shooting the fourth installment of the popular The Crow series, called The Crow: Wicked Prayer, which stars Edward Furlong, Tara Reid and Dennis Hopper; it's scheduled for release in 2004."

Back to the Future - AIRBOARD™ by, Alura Intelligent Products

"How does the AIRBOARD™ work?

The exciting and new Hovering Scooter uses Hovercraft air cushion principles to glide just above the ground. The air cushion is generated from a uniquely designed engine and fan, which are suspended below the Hovering Scooter shell. In addition to providing an air cushion for the Hovering Scooter to ride on the fan also provides a fast stream of air exiting from the rear of the craft to provide forward thrust - just like a hovercraft. To help provide better acceleration the Hovering Scooter also includes a unique friction drive wheel at the rear of the craft. When the rider wishes to accelerate forward, weight transfer of the body towards the rear of the craft is used to bring the friction drive into contact with the ground. By engaging the friction drive clutch in this manner, the Hovering Scooter can be accelerated forward without losing the feel of hovering above the ground. The control of the Hovering Scooter is provided by weight transfer of the rider, similar to surfboards, skate boards and snow boards. In operation the Hovering Scooter can be started, stopped and steered in a controlled manner and this means that riders can perform stunts, trick maneuvers and race around tight tracks against each other. In this unique way the Hovering Scooter is the first ever vehicle to deliver the advantages of hovercraft vehicle without the disadvantages of poor acceleration and handling.

General Information:
· Total payload, incl. rider: 100kg (220 lb)
· Operating time: 1 hour on full tank of fuel

How fast will the AIRBOARD™ go and how do you stop?
Because the AIRBOARD™ is used on flat ground your speed is limited by the wind resistance that the rider and board present compared to the combined air and friction-wheel thrust. In addition different riding surfaces have different resistance factors (for example grass compared to concrete). For an average rider in still air conditions (no wind), riding on smooth surfaces, the AIRBOARD™ speed is limited to approx 15 miles per hour (25 Kilometers per hour).

6) How is the AIRBOARD™ Controlled?
The AIRBOARD™ handlebars include two control levers - one for the engine/fan speed and the second for the friction drive clutch. In addition to using these two levers, the AIRBOARD™ rider uses weight transfer (shifting one's body weight), to steer the board to the left or right - very similar to a skateboard or snowboard.
By using differing degrees of weight transfer, the AIRBOARD™ can be made to respond in different ways - sharp or slow turns, fast 360 degree turns and sliding turns are all possible. As the riders' skills increase, so does the range of exciting maneuvers that can be performed.

What tricks can I do on an AIRBOARD™?
360 degree spins, sliding stops and turns, zigzag movements, obstacle negotiation etc. It is fun to set up some Road Marks or lightweight objects on your hovering terrain to define a track to follow. Don't be afraid to use the AIRBOARD™ on wet surfaces as new tricks and handling skills can be learned. Riding through shallow puddles can be a real buzz!

How does the AIRBOARD™ differ from a standard Hovercraft?
The AIRBOARD™ differs from hovercraft in that it has a drive wheel able to be selectively employed for acceleration and directional control. The AIRBOARD™ also has friction devices that can be used for steering and stopping. .

Where can I buy a AIRBOARD™:
Order the AIRBOARD™ directly from Alura. Alura Intelligent Products, Inc. / 611 Broadway, New York, NY 10012 / 1-212 529-1142 / 1-212 982-8000 Fax - Email: alura75413@aol.com

Computers in Movies

Ever notice how different computers are in the movies from real life? Movie computers are always more powerful, full of special features and can do anything in the matter of seconds if the right person is behind the keyboard.

For example, the movies have taught us that anyone can launch a nuclear missile if you know the password (War Games) and infecting the entire Internet with a devastating computer virus is as simple as typing "UPLOAD VIRUS" (Fortress). But these are just a couple examples.

Get Your Soulive with VelourMusic.com

"Velour Recordings hit the streets in 1999 and quickly has become synonymous with innovative, honest and accessible music in neo-urban genres such as soul, R&B, funk, hip-hop and jazz. Our music combines instrumental and vocal talent – something too often overlooked in this age of teen pop domination – with a back-to-the-roots approach to production and songwriting. In a word, Velour artists all can play, and use their talents to push the boundaries of current musical genres and formats.

About Soulive
"In spring, 1999, drummer Alan Evans and his brother, the Hammond B-3 organist Neal, invited guitarist Eric Krasno to come up to their house in Woodstock, NY and cut some tracks in their home studio. They had a simple idea: to bring jazz back to the dance floor. And in the years since, their blend of soul, jazz and hip-hop has done exactly that, attracting throngs of fans around the world and the respect of musicians of every sort. They called this idea Soulive.

Right away it was clear that there was some magic about Soulive. They played retro instruments and wore old suits, but the sound wasn’t old at all. The beats were hard and funky and the bass shook the club. The melodies were soulful and memorable. It caught on. Within a year, the band was attracting large crowds across the country and Bruce Lundvall signed them to Blue Note records. The band went on the road with the Dave Matthews Band, The Rolling Stones, The Roots, India.Arie and a host of others and recorded 2 highly acclaimed studio albums for Blue Note.

After 3 years of touring, writing and recording, the band has finally finished its much-awaited fourth studio record. With Break Out (out Sept. 13 on Concord Records), Soulive delivers its most creative, crafted and cathartic record to date. Break Out represents a serious progression for the band. Gone are the suits and the extended jams. A balance between hard grooves and soul songs, Break Out features beat-driven instrumentals and numerous dazzling collaborations featuring Chaka Khan, Ivan Neville, Corey Glover (Living Color), Robert Randolph, Reggie Watts (Maktub) and others. “One of the first songs we wrote for the record was Got Soul with Ivan (Neville),” says Alan Evans. “It kind of became the anthem for the record. We wanted to make a record for all people that got soul.” While Break Out will certainly satisfy the hard core Soulive fans, it also reaches into new domains, keeping beat conscious hip-hop heads on their toes while also resonating with those who grew up on Earth, Wind & Fire, Sly & The Family Stone and Curtis Mayfield."

It’s Halloween Again…This Year Go Home with Something Sweet

"Whether you dress as a pimp with gold chains around your neck and a purple faux fur coat, or as a convict with a plastic ball and chain dragging behind your black and white stripped digs, or as Napoleon Dynamite (sure to be a hit this Halloween) afro, glasses and a “Liger” shirt, every man, who as a boy wanted nothing but candy on October 31st, now goes out “trick or treating” for a different kind of sugar…a lady friend who dressed up as well, and at the end of the night wants to dress all the way down.

Every other night of the year, while out on the prowl, it is fairly easy to see a young woman and to know how to approach her based upon her looks, persona, body language, etc. Halloween night, however, throws in the added obstacle of a costume…girls in costumes adapt to their ensemble and role-play. They are not themselves and it is hard to dissect the woman behind the attire, and this can throw your game off. So how do you know how to approach the fine ladies on Halloween night? Here are a few tips on how to break down a few “tricks” and get some sweet “treats.”

The Nurse- Tell her you haven’t been feeling well and you were wondering if she can mend a heart ache. That you are suffering from a broken heart and you haven’t been out in a long time, but came out on Halloween because you thought that the costume could hide your pain and it’s just so hard (look down at the floor here). She will want to comfort you and take care of you the best she can, and although her expertise is not in the medical field, she may use her stethoscope to monitor other physical functions.

The Police Officer- Start off with “excuse me officer, but I was wondering if it’s a crime not to help a Good Samaritan in need?” When she says yes/I think so (hopefully she knows it is illegal), tell her that then you need to buy her a drink, because unfortunately your looks won’t do it for her unless she is heavily intoxicated and your just trying to help the cause. Girls like the humorous humble-angle, especially the ones dressed as cops…these girls are usually the ones who have a shy outer-shell but are confident and aggressive (even kinky) in the bedroom. Dressing as a cop on Halloween is the one night they allow themselves to outwardly hint that they like to play rough. So take her by the handcuffs, bring her to the bar, and buy her a shot or two. She might just want to find your “fingerprints” on the “crime scene” the next morning.

The Angel/The Devil- Just think “you are NOT what you wear,” think opposites, think incognito. The girls dressed up as angels, are in reality, devilish, and the devils, are good girls in disguise. So treat them accordingly and don’t be deceived. Give an angel a nice hard pat on the ass as you walk by, she will look stunned, then mad, then she will smile…she likes it like that. Tell a devil she is the most beautiful devil you have ever seen and kiss her hand, and she will “burn” for you. But if you really want to unwrap some sweets on Halloween eve, bring home an angel and under her halo and white feathered wings is the REAL devil that will be sure to bring you a piece of Heaven.

The School Girl- “Oops she did it again…” this cliché costume screams overplayed and this look was out around the same time Britney Spears starting going downhill. This generic chick will be the drunkest at the party and most likely to enter the Halloween costume contest and make-out with her school girl accomplice just to try to win the prize (and won’t of course). Be her consolation prize and take her home as your parting gift-shouldn’t be too hard…just tell her you want her to “teach you a lesson” and hopefully her foreplay won’t be as lame as her costume choice.

So now you have a start…slip on your masks, hats and props and relax. This Halloween you won’t have to go door to door for your sweets. You will get enough sugar behind the first door you open, and you won’t have to ask “trick or treat.” This year you get both.

"Big Chips" - Steve Rifkind & Billionaire Jordan Zimmerman Merging Companies

"By, Nolan Strong
Hip-Hop mogul Steve Rifkind and multi-billionaire and Florida Panthers owner Jordan Zimmerman are merging companies to create a new business that will focus on music and other business ventures.

While neither Zimmerman nor Rifkind could reveal details because of the pending deal, Zimmerman said the two moguls were thinking forward.

"This is way out of the box thinking and is going to become the norm in the industry,” Zimmerman told AllHipHop.com of the merging businesses.

“They are joining forces and merging their respective companies to create a fully integrated music and business alliance,” another source close to the deal told AllHipHop.com.

Rifkind launched the Steven Rifkind Company in 1989 as a consulting firm that did “street team” work (a term Rifkind trademarked) for such companies as Nike, Pepsi, HBO, Rolling Stone and Levis.

With the success of SRC, Rifkind launched Loud Records in 1992 by signing legendary Hip-Hop groups, Wu-Tang Clan and Tha Liks.

The company went on to achieve success with such fabled Hip-Hop acts as Big Pun, The Beatnuts, MOP, Three 6 Mafia, Xzibit, Funkmaster Flex and others.

After closing Loud, Rifkind launched Street Records Corporation (SRC) in March 2003 with Universal.

Most notably, the label signed marquee artists David Banner and released his critically acclaimed albums Mississippi: The Album and his follow-up, Certified.

SRC recently signed Harlem, New York rapper Jae Millz and his Wanna Blow imprint and already counts Remy Ma and platinum selling singer Akon as artists on the label.

Zimmerman is the CEO of famed advertising agency Zimmerman Partners, which was founded in 1984. The billionaire owner of Zimmerman Partners owns the Florida Panthers and the Bank of Atlantic Arena in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Zimmerman Partners also operates 22 offices in 10 states and has worked with a variety of clients, including the Florida Panthers, the Miami Dolphins, Musicland, and Office Depot.

The company’s philosophy centers on "brandtailing," which merges branding strategies with to promote products and services that build brand identity.." [Via allhiphop.com]






Blaze the Volcano!

"The vaporising method involves permeating the herbs with hot air, causing the ingredients (active ingredients and flavouring) to vaporise slightly above the vaporising temperature of the ingredients (a result of the controlled heating effect) and blend with the air for subsequent inhalation.The Volcano System Vaporizer releases flavouring and active ingredients from herbs through vaporization by hot air. Optimum treatment of the active ingredients reduces the development of harmful substances and odours to a minimum. This means that even non-smokers find the vaporizer enjoyable.

A further advantage of the Volcano is the exploitation of active ingredients, being 3-4 times greater when compared with smoking, an aspect which makes investment in the device pay for itself in the shortest possible time.

The unique patented Volcano System technology conveys air enriched with flavouring and active ingredients into a balloon via a valve, it then been separated from the device and made available to the user. This means that the active ingredients can be savoured at ease, both comfortably and completely safely.

The Volcano has already gained a reputation among experts as the most technically advanced and professional vaporizer available. Air temperature control of a precision and reliability previously unreachable in practice sets new standards for vaporizers.

Stringent selection of material, impeccable processing and practical in its form, the Volcano combines simplicity of use, a high degree of safety and particularly good efficiency." [Via vapormed.com]

Ride of the Month - Maybach Exelero

"By Georg Kacher
This is my kind of show car. The two-seat land yacht measures 232 inches from bow to stern, exceeding the stately Maybach 57 on which it is based by the length of a Davidoff stogie--if that's not overkill, I don't know what is. Equally outlandish is the engine, a frighteningly free-breathing, twin-turbocharged, 5.9-liter V-12 that coughs up max power of 691 hp and 752 lb-ft of very low-end torque.

And then there's the styling. Vulgar, over-the-top, and utterly beguiling, it's perfect transport for Darth Vader. It looks as if it eats parked cars for breakfast, parties with dinosaurs, and went to school with the Frankenstein monster's son. In the unlikely case that the stance and the proportions leave you cold, the sound effects will grab you by the eardrums. The two pornographic side pipes emit a thunderous, earth-shattering noise. Oh, and by the way, it does 218 mph."

Harlem Diplomat, Cam’ron, Shot In Failed Carjacking Attempt

"Author: SoundSlam
Oct. 23, 2005 - Washington D.C.

Cam’ron, the Harlem rapper and CEO of Diplomat Records, was in the nation’s capital, Washington D.C., this weekend for a performance at Howard University’s homecoming. Unfortunately, his visit went awry in the early hours of Sunday morning when a failed carjacking attempt resulted in gunfire.

Cam’ron was leaving the popular D.C. nightclub, H20, just after 2 a.m. in his blue Lamborghini en route to Love (formerly, Dream) when an unknown number of men approached him. One eyewitness stated that they were after his Italian sports car as they pulled up next to him in their own vehicle in demand that Cam give his up. The MC, often referred to as Killa Cam, apparently refused to meet their demands and began to get in his car. Several gunshots rang out, shattering glass and striking the rapper.

A couple of sources close to Cam’ron have cited separately that his injuries are not life-threatening. One lead has stated that he was struck twice, once in each arm, and that he remains in good condition at a nearby Washington D.C. hospital. Both police and the hospital refuse to give out any information at this time as an investigation into the circumstance will take place. No arrests have been made as of yet.

Cam’ron has a new album and movie due out in February ." [Via soundslam.com]

Roman Kriheli’s #1 Phone - "The Nano Phone"

"It is a concept of a mobile phone developed basing on the most modern technologies. The entire face surface of this phone is a colour sensor display 4.2 in. in diagonal (a TFT-matrix of 700 × 266 pixels) protected with a 2-mm transparent plastic shield.

Buttons appearing on the display are 13 mm in diameter. They are convenient to press with a finger. Besides the virtual controls, the telephone is equipped with a joystick. The standard position of the phone is vertical, but it can be turned horizontally when watching video. The joystick and the on/off button are of metal. The loudspeaker is located immediately between the sensor surface and the display.

The telephone will support GSM networks (900, 1800, 1900) as well as the 3G networks (the third generation). A wireless data exchange feature (Bluetooth 2) is provided to enable synchronisation with a computer. A fuel cell-based battery feeds the telephone with electricity. The battery is charged by a wireless means: the phone should just be laid on a special pad connected to the electricity supply network (the SplashPower technology)." [Via diawards.ru]

**Exclusive** "Games Women Play” By, Lauren Harvey

Okay, no matter how rich, successful, or attractive you may be, you have a huge weakness-- women. When you are in a bar, be wary of any woman that approaches you if you are flossin’ at the bar. Women are smart; we know our powers, and we use them willingly. I am a lesbian, but when I am in a straight bar,

I know my drinks are taken care of. Let me give you a little scenario: I walk into a club, looking hot, and I adjust my cleavage to make it more visible. You are a slick brotha at the bar, sipping on some expensive liquor, and chatting it up with your buddies. I walk over to the bar, looking pissed off. I smile at you, and you smile back… I ask how you are doing, and you respond, and ask me the same. Well, I explain, my ex-girlfriend was supposed to meet me here, and she didn’t show up, but she owes me money. So, I can’t drink until she gets here, and I am pissed that she’s late.

Of course, then, you ask me if I’m gay. And, of course I say no… I am bisexual, or so I say, and your eyes widen. This is where you buy me a drink. We have a drink together, and the entire time, I talk about sex-- with men, with women, positions, funny stories… You think you have hit the jackpot, I am this hot, horny, freaky woman that is getting drunker by the minute. I finish my drink, and look at my watch.

My ex still isn’t here, I mention by-the-way. We talk for a minute longer, and you order me another drink. This goes on until I am drunk, and I thank you, and leave (after you ask for my number and I get yours instead). Then, I go to the lesbian club, and party it up with hot women while you keep shoveling out drinks all night. This gives “the little head thinking for the big head” a whole new meaning, don’t you think?."

How about this simple solution, boys-- get some pride and don't buy a drink for every girl who has hot tits or a nice ass. Or, if you insist on buying drinks for random girls, then buy the drinks without expecting anything in return from the girl- do it as a good deed, rather than an exchange for flirtation or sex. But, I know you all well, and I know you aren't the type to do a good deed without anyhing in return...So, in that case, just try and keep your pride within reach-- wait for a girl you get a connection with to buy her a drink-- and if she doesnt show up, hang out with the fellas, close your tab, and go home. Your wallet will be very grateful. Via PimpWiz.com

Rapper 50 Cent introduces 50 Scent By, John Breneman

"Imagine the dangerous aroma of a freshly fired 9mm semiautomatic handgun. Blend in the rich, pungent aroma of a burlap sack stuffed with $100 bills. Now add a delightfully naughty whiff of urban skank ho.

Introducing 50 Scent -- a gangsta-licious new fragrance created by platinum-toothed rapper 50 Cent.

Just dab some on your neck, behind your ear and all around your groin area to drive the ladies wild. Or slather some on that unsightly machete scar to make old wounds with sizzle with brutish sensuality.

"Mr. 50 is a smart businessman. He know he can slap his name and picture on any damn thing and sell millions," said a high-ranking member of the rapper's entourage, pausing briefly to shoot a young man who got too close to 50 Cent's security phalanx.

"I mean just look at P. Diddy. That (bleep) can go the bathroom, take a big old crap and sell it for $100. Call it P. Shizzle."

Negotiations are reportedly under way to create a whole line of 50 Cent products ranging from guns, knives and numchucks to bath beads, potpourri and exfoliating creams. Coming soon: a hedonistic aftershave with complimentary straight razor.

50 Scent is available at a perfume counter near you. Manufacturer's suggested retail price: 50 Dollar.." [Via HumorGazette.com]

The New James Bond - Daniel Craig takes on 007

"The English star of gangster film Layer Cake, who arrived at a press conference in London by speedboat, will play a tougher, grittier and darker 007.
"It's a huge challenge. Life is about challenges and this is one of the big ones as an actor," said Craig, 37, who will be the sixth James Bond. He joked he "had a couple of Martinis" when he got the role. Casino Royale is due to start filming in January."We've got an incredible script and that's my first line of attack," he said. "Once I'd read that, I realised that I didn't have a choice. I had to go for it."

Daniel Craig arrived at the James Bond press conference by boat. He admitted...Bond was "a huge iconic figure in movie history and these things don't come along very often", he said. Director Martin Campbell said the 21st Bond film would be "definitely darker, more character, less gadgets".Craig told reporters: "Together with Martin, I want to make the best film we can, the most entertaining film we can."The actor said he was not looking to redefine the role, but added: "It's a question of taking it somewhere maybe where it's never gone before."

2002 - Road to Perdition

2004 - Layer Cake, Enduring Love

But he said: "I'm not allowing myself to think in that way. I'm thinking about the agenda ahead and the agenda ahead is to make the best movie we can."Producer Michael G Wilson said the film-makers considered more than 200 actors from around the world over two years before settling on Craig.Neither Q nor Moneypenny will appear, Mr Wilson added, but M will return. However, it was not confirmed whether Dame Judi Dench will play the spy chief.

Producers are now setting their sights on finding a female star to fill what Mr Campbell said would be the "best Bond girl part" ever.Casino Royale will be an adaptation of author Ian Fleming's first James Bond novel, in which the spy was introduced as a more youthful and cold character than he has been portrayed on film."

The Million Dollar Kid - Alex Tew : MillionDollarHomePage.com

"Million dollar boy - By, Steve Boggan
Alex is 21. He's an ordinary middle-class undergraduate: lives in messy student digs, has spiky hair, drinks a lot of Coke. And is on his way to his first million. Meet an internet whiz-kid

Alex is a 21-year-old phenomenon. He is growing richer and richer by having a simple idea that exploits the omnipresence of the internet and its users’ absolute respect for, and addiction to, anything unique. In short, he set up a website that offered almost nothing for $1 million. And the buyers are flooding in.

The student’s rags-to-riches story begins on a balmy night in August at Alex’s parents’ home near Cirencester in Wiltshire. It was late and he was contemplating the consequences of finally agreeing to go to university after three years of hopping from lousy job to crazy idea and back again. Alex had been accepted on a business management course at Nottingham but fees and accommodation for the first year alone came to £7,000.

“To put it bluntly, I was broke and dreading the prospect of running up huge debts as a student,” he says...“I’ve always been an ideas sort of person and I like to brainstorm at night before I go to sleep — it’s my most productive time. So I wrote down ‘How can I become a millionaire before I go to university?’ It was a rather ambitious question, but I went with it.

His thought processes went something like this: what if he set up a website called the Million Dollar Homepage which contained exactly one million pixels (the tiny dots that make up an image on a screen)? What if he then used that page as, in effect, an advertising noticeboard where advertisers — mainly from the US — could buy space at $1 (60p) per pixel?

What if, when you clicked on the group of pixels bought by an advertiser, you were directed to that advertiser’s homepage? And what if you told potential buyers that this is the first page of its kind, that it’s going to become incredibly famous — and that a young British student will be able to go to university as a result of your generosity?

The Million Dollar Homepage captured the imagination of advertisers and has now spawned dozens of copycat sites that will undoubtedly do nowhere near as well as Alex’s. The reason for that is simple: the selling point of his page is that it was the first. In the first four weeks alone, Alex sold more than 300,000 pixels at $1 each..." Via timesonline.co.uk

**Exclusive** "What Her Drink Says About Her"

The Table Crashers-You drop big money on a private VIP table and the next thing you know, there are enough girls standing around you to have a female buffet. These girls flock to tables at clubs like a moth to a flame. They are looking for anything alcoholic and will even take it straight if there are no mixers. Go though their purse, they probably didn’t even bring a wallet with them. Table crashers are “drink scavengers” looking for a free buzz and will use anyone to get it. The trick is to take advantage of them: Get the cheapest bottles and keep their glass full. Just be sure to keep an eye on them because table crashers are infamous for disappearing when the bottles stop coming, so get some while you can

Dirty Martini-You are what you drink has never been so true. The girl who orders a “dirty goose” (a.k.a. a dirty with Greygoose vodka), is in the mood for anything and everything, but keeps her intentions subtle. She can handle things the way they are, and likes it “straight up” and “stiff.” Just like the olives in her drink, this girl is smooth around the edges and ready to get wet...often.

Red Bull & Vodka -“Red Bull gives you wings,” but Red Bull with vodka gives you enough energy to jump on the bar and shake your booty. This girl is not so subtle; in fact most are nostalgic sorority girls looking for the real “animal house” or a bar that has tables sturdy enough to be danced on. She is open to public make-out sessions and is the life of the late-night party. Just try to keep up!


Beer -She is the ultimate free spirit, fun-loving, relaxed tomboy who enjoys drinking games, the occasional house party, lives in jeans and laughs a little louder than the other girls. She is more likely to know what you are up to and see through your actions because she thinks like a guy…but if she is down for it, you won’t have too much trouble “tapping” this brew since she is accustomed to using bars as a medium to get some just like you!

Cosmopolitan -The ladies who love this ultimate pink drink are “Sex and the City” fanatics, tabloid loving, overly-made up chicks, who spend most of their time getting manicures or gossiping over lattes about the latest styles and hottest celebrities. She is easily taken home, not because she is easy, but because she can’t handle her liquor…two or three of them and she will be leaning against you whispering in your ear before the DJ even arrives. She is an easy win, but just as long as she is out since she can’t miss an episode of “Laguna Beach.”

Tequila Shots -She isn’t faithful, she isn’t able to walk in a straight line, and she can’t form a coherent sentence without falling into something to hold her up…so what is she? She is the ultimate drinker, who likes to do shots off of anything with a pulse, including her own chest (if flexible enough), and is sure as hell looking for a bed to sleep in other than her own. If you are looking for a good night, look no further. Jose Cuervo just has given you the gift of a guilt-free one-night stand. Let her do the guilt part the next day when her boyfriend asks her where she was the night before and she says…”um…I can’t remember…” which she probably genuinely can’t.

Wine Drinkers-Whether red or white, wine drinkers are sensual and romantic, know their own bodies, and want to know yours as well. They are the girls that want to “stay in and watch a movie”…with a bottle of wine at arms reach of course. They like to kiss, touch, savor every experience, and slowly appreciate it just as they do their wine. It just takes them a bottle of wine to loose their last few inhibitions and go from the couch to the bedroom as soon as the movie credits start rolling. The next time she asks you over for a flick, pick up a magnum bottle of her favorite vino and before you know it, your cork will be popped.

Pina Colada -First and foremost, double check her ID. Secondly, unless you want to talk about why her ex-boyfriend broke up with her for 3 hours and go home alone…walk away. And if you do leave with her, watch what you do…you may be getting a phone call from her father to tell you he is pressing charges for statutory rape because she is 14 years old. Stay away from these coconuts!." [Via Pimpwiz.com]

Top 10: Greatest Islands By, Harry Marks

"Everyone needs a break, and where better to go for some R&R than an island, hidden somewhere in the oceans and seas of our beautiful planet? Get on board as we take you from one corner of the world to another.

10. Zanzibar
The Indian Ocean has many well-kept secrets, but perhaps none greater than Zanzibar, a tiny island in a part of Tanzania. Lucky tourists are pulled in by the historical Stone Town as well as its magnificent beaches. Zanzibar is commonly referred to as the Spice Island thanks to its cloves, cinnamon, lichee nuts, cocoa beans, and coconut.

9. Mauritius
Situated just north of the Tropic of Capricorn, the island of Mauritius is off the east coast of Madagascar and is a volcanic island of about 10 million years of age. While its official language is English, French is widely used while Creole is the local dialect. Mauritius has great weather year round, but if you do not like rain, then watch out for the rainy season that takes place from January to March -- especially on the Central Plateau.

8. Sapi Island, Sabah
Tunku Abdul Rahman Park is part of heavenly Sabah, which consists of 5 beautiful islands: Mamutik, Manukan, Sulug, Sapi, and Gaya. While not the largest, Pulau Sapi has one of the nicest beaches in the Park. Its clean white sand and crystal clear water will leave you speechless. You'll be tempted to venture out and explore the nature trail to some of the islands, where you can see animals such as monkeys, squirrels, as well as bearded pigs.

7. Santorini, Greek Islands
Practically any of the Greek Islands are a must for island-seeking tourists. While Mykonos is very popular, Santorini provides a more gentle refuge with its geological morphology, the remnant of a dormant volcano. Here you will find towering cliffs overlooking the deepest levels of surrounding sea and vast beaches.

6. Jamaica
Ever since our resident pickup artist The Player spent a few days at Hedonism, we have had a soft spot for Jamaica and the lush garden of pure pleasure at Hedonism II, or the oasis of pure pleasure at Hedonism III.


5. Canary Islands
Heaven comes in the form of 7 islands situated in the Atlantic Ocean; namely Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro. These islands have an almost perfect climate with fairly stable temperatures year round.

The beaches are splendid, with fine sand. The most interesting aspect is that besides the 7 large islands, the landscape of the smaller islands is radically different than the others. On a side note, some historians suppose that the legendary continent Atlantis was located here.

4. Cuba
Well, there is not much to add to one of everyone's favorite islands: Cuba. Situated off the coast of Florida, Cuba is one of the world's most beautiful islands with amazing beaches, hospitable and friendly locals, and a haven from overly Americanized destination spots in the Caribbean.

3. Tioman Island, Pahang
Located northwest off Malaysia's east coast, Pulau Tioman is the largest of 64 volcanic islands and offers miles upon miles of soft white sand, waterfalls and colorful marine life. Pulau Tioman is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful islands in a region full of breathtaking ones.

2. Fiji
Exotic, exhilarating, exciting -- these are only 3 words that can attempt to describe the 333 islands that make up beautiful Fiji. Fiji has something for all: you can swim with harmless rays (sounds like an oxymoron but it is quite true), get a tan by the shore, snorkel all day long, and scuba dive until your nose bleeds... well, you may want to stop before that happens.

1. French Polynesia
The islands of French Polynesia combine volcanic islands with atolls along the eastern South Pacific. No one ever leaves French Polynesia without wishing to return, partially due to the hospitable and friendly Polynesian people, but also, as one can imagine, thanks to the breathtaking and beautiful islands such as Tahiti and Bora Bora. The air seems to be fresher, while the engaging bouquet of tropical flowers and mesmerizing sunsets in the backdrop only add to its appeal." [Via Askmen.com]






Boobs on iTunes 6.0

Compared to the average porn site subscription, this particular music video download is an absolute steal at $1.99!

Of course, the million dollar question is: Does Apple know about this "merry abandon"...or not..?" As soon as they find out, you can bet they will kill the preview, so get your free porn while it lasts.

Rejected iPod Engravings

The following is a collection of engravings that were actually rejected by Apple, and some that probably should have been. Enjoy!
