This guy is just creative to be able to make such a homepage. Smart smart…wish I had this kind of idea.
An entrepreneurial young student in the UK has devised a simple way of raising the cash to pay for life through university without having to spend every weekend in Tesco�????s stacking shelves.
Called the Million Dollar Homepage, the idea of the site is to sell 1,000,000 pixels for $1 each.
Visitors can buy pixels, which are available in 100-pixel ‘blocks’ (each measuring 10×10 pixels) and then display an image/ad/logo of their choice in the space they have purchased. Customers will also have the chance to link the image through to a website of their choice as long as its not obscene or offensive.
The pixels you buy will be displayed on the homepage permanently for the life of the site.
The creator, Alex Tew, is 21 years and old hopes to keep the site running for at least five years, but hopefully much longer with the ultimate goal of making it �??�a kind of internet time capsule�??.
Currently the site has sold over 52,300 pixels earning more than enough to put Pew through university.

The ministries of defence and information and communication approved a joint project worth 32.4 million dollars to develop the robot system by 2011.
Tentative designs released at a meeting of science ministers here showed three different types of robots that look like a sphinx without wings.
Equipped with six or eight wheels or legs, they would be capable of walking or running through rough terrain.
Armed with weapons and sensors, the robots could be put to combat missions or dangerous tasks such as detecting mines, the ministries said.
The ministries said they will also invest some 30 million dollars to develop surveillance sensor networks by 2010.

EBay plans initially to pay $1.3 billion in cash and $1.3 billion in stock and to make a further payout of up to $1.5 billion by 2008 or 2009 if financial targets are met, giving the deal a total value of up to $4.1 billion, the source said.
That is a hugh cashing out for Skype. I must say that this is the best chatting program I had used before. I believe that it is using some of the Kazaa technology which share the bandwidth so that sound/voice can be transmitted quickly through the Internet. Even though you may not be chatting, Skype may still use your computer to transmit. Correct me if I am wrong because I have read this somewhere when Skype just came out.

This is great news. Mobile number portability have been in have been started in United States arround 2 years ago and it is just great for us, as a consumer.
Postpaid user will enjoy all the new different benefit that prepaid offers…this is because before this, mobile service provider knows that postpaid users are less frequent to jump to their competitor because they are comfortable with their phone number, therefore less benefit are given to Postpaid users. Now they will give more attention to Postpaid users with this new MNP plan, because they will be affraid that we will leave and take our number to their competitors.

Wullik.B, the virus, which runs on the Windows operating system, first appeared in early 2004, spreading by email.
According to the firm’s Japanese website, the problem has affected 5GB Creative Zen Neeon with serial numbers between 1230528000001 and 1230533001680. Wullik.B, which runs on the Windows operating system, first appeared in early 2004, spreading by email.
Several thousand Neeons are thought to be affected, according to reports. The problem, however, is only restricted to Asia-Pacific countries, as the Neeon is not available outside the region.
Infected Neeons, which have been on sale since May, will not be affected by the virus as the digital music players do not run on Windows itself.
Those virus maker just never stops, now we have virus on handphones, mp3 player, computer, pocket pc and I guess car gps will be next.
