I don’t know but it seems like people love thin, or do they. Well the most popular thin laptop the Macbook Air is popular with only one group. The laptop is made for those who need to surfer the internet, write documents, or do simple things like that. The Air lacks many external components including more USB ports, and a optical drives. Also on the inside you will not have much hard drive space. All and all right now it dose not seem like the Air will do to well. I don’t think there is a big enough group to get a computer like this. From what I see the Air will probably get a overhaul or taken off the line. If you take a look at PPX, (Popsci Prediction Exchange), the stock is going up and down for this computer but over all I don’t know if it look to good for this computer. It looks like it might just be swept away in the air.

So I come across a image of Jesse Owens I wanted to use on the web. So I said lets get this image (in the hype of the Olympics and all). So I checked out the price on Gettyimages to see. I was expecting for it to cost. I found out it coast $50.00, for what I wanted to use it for, and I could only use it up to 3 months. Well that was a drag. Well for old pictures like this I could just use sites like Wikipedia to find pictures in the public domain. This one to the right is in public domain. But I still wanted to use the picture I found, and not at the price or time limit. So I jumped on to picapp.com. This site buys the images from places like Gettyimages.com, and allow you to embed them on your blog or website for free. Of course you do have to have a ad with it, a drag but its free. You can also get really resent images to once from that day for example. Take a look below for a samples. (If you see a small image below click on it)

How much it would coast me to buy off of gettyimages…

You have a shopping cart and you want it on your blog. A new service announced today, will just do that. From what I can see its basically a RSS feed of your product. If you look a the picture below you will see it is just pictures lined up with tiles which you can click on and are redirected to your shopping cart online. It is a widget which  can be added to blogging services like blogger. However the big down side is it only works with “Early Impact’s ProductCart e-commerce products”". That is a big down fall. Just because of that I probably would not use it, but if you are a user of the Early Impact products then this just may be for you.
