Dell Enters the sub $500 notebook game
As seen here Dell looks to be entering the sub $500 notebook range. From the pics looks like its going to be packing a web cam. I hope dell have their planning together and offer this various in flavours across the world. I also hope that they realise that there is a demand for machines in the business world and not just schools and developing nations.

Today I start playing with social networking sites. the keyholder to this system is this little plugin. Basically it allows people registered on one of the many sites to bookmark , digg, or whatever those crazy kids are up to.
Are we running out of dot coms?
When was the last time you had an awesome idea for a domain name only to find out some one has already purchased it and parked it with some random landing page? Thanks to the like of Kevin Ham nowadays one of the most difficult things in setting up a web site is finding a decent domain name to go with it. Allot of people now are settling on other top level domain names like .info .ac and so forth.
So what’s going to happen? At the moment people have it fixed in their heads that a .com is the prime tld name you could have and at the moment this could be argued in the near future as we see this problem grow I assume we will see other tld’s open up and people would naturally be encouraged to migrate to them and .com will lose its weight. About two years ago we saw the pandering launch of .mobi touted as the best domain name for mobile phone browser based sites. Unfortunately there is a really limited amount of people browsing the net on their phone. Generally people who purchased these domains are speculation that it will be the next intertube boom.
I can see that in the future that ICANN will open up more use of tld’s like .blog .shop and so forth. This will water down the .com and hopefully the market will become so wide domainers would struggle to turn a profit and the parked domain names will return to the open market to be used for real ideas, sites and business.

Firstly, apologies to booth those people who are following this blog. The last few days have been hectic and this week looks like it’s gonna be bananas as well, so with that I am bringing the next trick.
For me Sunday is my most blog-a-rific day. Most Sunday nights my brain starts churning out several ideas for posts problem is need to stream out these posts so I average one a day. With this tool you can write out the post’s and set one to be published each day.
Solution: Wordpress lets you edit the time stamp of a post effectively giving you the power of time travel , read about it here

One two miss a few . So today I was gonna talk about blog rush. Unfortunately they decided not to respond to any of my emails as to why I cannot register a .co.nz domain on their system so I cannot figure out if their system would be of any value.
For any one considering using them. Can I direct your attention to this

Update Services:
This is another nifty feature in Wordpress, under Options , Writing there is a section called Update Services. Here you can import a list of sites that notify other Blog directory services . Read more about it here
Google needs this!
Sort by option:
So many times I search for things on google but I wish I could easily arrange the results and sort them by various options. Sort by Date would be a good start, I guess a sort by reputation / popularity would also be good to have but I assume this would wreak havoc on their pagerank system.
