sponsor a child like ny
Eight year old Ny lives in Kampong Speu Province in the southwest of Cambodia. He lives in a brick house with his mother and brother. Right now, Ny’s in grade 1 at his local school and while he could be considered one of the luckier kids – he has access to clean safe running water – Ny and his family have no access to health facilities.
The district he lives in used to be one of the strongholds of Khmer Rouge where heavy fighting took place during the civil war. Landmines still exist in the mountainous regions and pose a daily threat to the lives of the communities that go into the forest or work on land that has not been cleared. Villagers and residents in the local community are often left permanently disabled as a result of landmines, leaving them unable to work – in an area where food is already scarce.
Will the iPad do for Digital Content what the iPod did for Digital Music? (Get People to Pay!)

Poke fun at the name, call it an “iFlop”, bemoan the lack of features – USB ports, cameras and multi tasking – but the iPad is set to revolutionise the future of digital content.
Already, there are a number of opportunities for expanding the use of digital content. Some US public schools are replacing traditional textbooks with digital content media. And with the more user friendly interface of the iPad, the move to more digital content consumption seems closer than ever.

Google Street View
Today Google announced the launch of Street View trike (yes, trike) in Sydney.
Google has realised that many of the world’s most interesting and iconic places aren’t accessible by their Street View car so they’ve come up with a solution: the Google Trike. The Google Trike is “a mechanical masterpiece comprising three bicycle wheels, a Street View camera, and a very athletic cyclist in customised Google apparel.”
Want Longer Lasting…. ?
Jeremy Decker on January 22nd in News with no comments yet :(
We’re all aware of the controversy surrounding the “Want lasting SEX?” billboards that were seen throughout Sydney last year, but here is a company well and truly cashing in on it.
What are your thoughts on this type of piggy back marketing? Similar situations such as the “Angry Angus” campaign by Burger King prove that it can definitely be effective, but is it a fair tactic or no-go zone?
