PlayStation Vita

Sony Playstation Vita, the upcoming portable game console from Sony Computer Entertainment, won't be released as everybody expected in the end of 2011 but in 2012. Only Japan is getting the device before Christmas. Speaking to the press in Tokyo, Sony Chairman Kaz Hirai  clarified that the launch would not be accompanied by a lowered price, despite Nintendo's hasty and reactionary price drop on the Nintendo 3DS.

"We packed so much into the device and made it very affordable," Hirai said. "There is no need to lower the price just because somebody else that happens to be in the video game business decided that they were going to lower their price."

 The PlayStation Vita will start at $249, alongside a 3G-enabled version for $299. Taking into account the new portable console's specifications it's pretty reasonable price. 

Unclaimed Money

The topic of unclaimed money is getting pretty hot lately especially when public discovered that 1.5 billion dollars go unclaimed every year. And that's not taking into account 0.5 billion dollars of unclaimed lottery prizes.

It is estimated that the combined amount of unclaimed property held by all state treasurers exceeds $10 BILLION. And it is estimated that in excess of $10 BILLION of withholding tax remains unclaimed each year by the rightful owners and beneficiaries. By example, the Iowa Lottery currently has an unclaimed Hot Lotto Prize of $16,500,000 that will expire on December 29, 2011!

Some of the fastest ways to lay your hands on your unclaimed money are:
1. Explore the State treasury sites: Almost every state treasury has an unclaimed money site which is full of relevant information and tools for the application of claim. These websites are continuously updated with the most current list of unclaimed money search recipients.
 2. Explore the Government sponsored sites: Lost bank accounts, Savings bonds, and Pension funds.

So take action right away and you may get some of that pie too.

iPhone 5 Features

Everybody talks about the forthcoming Apple product which will inevitably become a bestseller in its category. It's new iPhone which goes under number five. So what new features will it have as known of today.

Apple's iOS 5 will introduce the iCloud service and the Notification Center, as well as improvements to native apps such as Camera. The operating system also features new applications, such as the Reminders app and Newsstand, an application resembling Folders and iBooks. Another obvious conclusion is that iPhone 5 will have a rear-facing 8MP dual-LED flash camera. The phone will adopt a teardrop design that is supposed to be slimmer and lighter than past iPhone models. The iPhone 5 is expected to come with an aluminum plate casing rather than the current glass backing. It will integrate a faster 1.2 to 1.5 GHz dual core A5 processor chip, which powers the iPad 2, with probably a 1GB RAM. With upgraded hardware, the iPhone 5 will be equipped with speed in processing information and apps besides obtaining lighter hardware parts to decrease the device’s weight.

As anticipation grows more and more rumors arouse, some even state that next iPhone will be a fire-proof phone. But whatever features Apple will decide to add no doubt it will be the next revolutionary product worth its money 100%. 

Your Highness

Oh, Gosh. Today I've watched "Your Highness" at the cinema. What can I say? It was fantastic. Mega-funny. Not everybody though likes that kind of vulgar humor but for those who do like it, it's definitely must see.

Throughout history, tales of chivalry have burnished the legends of brave, handsome knights who rescue fair damsels, slay dragons and conquer evil. But behind many a hero is a good-for-nothing younger brother trying just to stay out of the way of those dragons, evil and trouble in general. Danny McBride and James Franco team up for an epic comedy adventure set in a fantastical world -"Your Highness." As two princes on a daring mission to save their land, they must rescue the heir apparent's fiancée before their kingdom is destroyed.

I don't know why it got so many negative reviews by critics, maybe they don't appreciate such humor and think authors got too far but it's hella fun movie. If you like the trailer you 'll love the movie.

SPT SF-608R

SPT SF-608R Portable Evaporative Air Cooler 

This summer heat leaves us no choice as to go get some piece of equipment like AC unit, cooler, fan etc and I'm going to share with you my preference for getting temperature back to normal. It's really amazing product and is much cheaper than air cooler unit but gets its job done pretty well.

Versatile, lightweight, and economical, this evaporative air cooler easily rolls from room to room for use anywhere in the home or office. Unlike a fan that blows hot air and more energy efficient than an air conditioner, the appliance uses water to cool a personal space up to 12 degrees lower than the ambient temperature. The air cooler works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat). The unit sucks air through a wick saturated with water; as the air flows through the wick, some of the water evaporates into the air, consuming the heat that was in the air. A cool air stream then gets blown out the front of the unit through oscillating louvers for even distribution.

The appliance can also be used as just a fan or a humidifier when temperature is not an issue. Easily change the settings with the included remote control. The unit provides an air flow of 23 feet per second, a water-consumption rate of 0.6 to 0.7 liters per hour, and a 10-liter water-tank capacity. Other details include a nylon and photocatalystic filter, three air speeds, a sleep mode, and a timer that can be set from a half hour to seven-and-a-half hours. Though perfect for use in dry climates, please note that the appliance does not work very effectively in areas with high humidity since it utilizes water to cool. The 60-watt air cooler measures 12 by 16 by 25 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

It's no air conditioner, but it's a low in cost (to purchase and to run) alternative you could even say was an "eco-friendly" way to stay comfortable in the summer.

Portable Air Conditioner

This summer nobody can deal without an AC unit in your apartment or office. Such heat leaves no choice and whatever financial crisis is on the rage nowadays the demand for this piece of equipment only hits the sky.

The portable air conditioner has become more popular this year than any other year. One reason for that popularity is that the manufacturers of wall unit air conditioners, which are built to fit into a metal “sleeve,” have changed their sizes, making it hard for people to find the right fit. Obviously, the ability to easily move the portable units is also a big selling point.

The demand is so high that it will be soon hard to find portable conditioners because many suppliers are already out of stock. So don't miss your opportunity if you're planning on buying such necessary device for your home.

Ivanka Trump

29 year old Ivanka Trump, a daughter of the famous Donald Trump, a successful businesswoman and fashion model has given birth to a girl sunday morning. It's her and her husband's Jared Kushner first baby.

"This morning Jared and I welcomed a beautiful and healthy little baby girl into the world," she tweeted. "We feel incredibly grateful and blessed. Thank you for your support and well wishes!". Trump married Kushner, owner of the New York Observer, in October 2009.

Donald Trump revealed the name of his new granddaughter on Monday - and pronounced it "very exotic." The infant's name is Arabella Rose. It is the third grandchild and counting for "The Celebrity Apprentice" chairman. Trump's son, Donald Jr., has two children with wife, Vanessa, and announced in March that they are expecting a third child.

So the "elite businessfamily " is getting bigger and it will reveal many great businessmen/women to the world. I bet "Apprentice" will be a long TV series.

Dukan Diet

The dukan diet got very popular lately especially after 55 year old Carole Middleton used it to get in shape for the royal wedding. The roots of this diet lie in France where a doctor and nutritionist Pierre Dukan has invented it over thirty years ago. He has also written a book named "The Dukan Diet" which has lately became a bestseller and was translated into 14 languages.

The diet is based on a list of over 100 allowed foods, as well as four specific ground pillars also known as phases: attack, cruise, consolidation, and stabilization.

Why it’s so effective?

Unlike most diets, Dukan’s not obsessed with calories. As the doctor says: “Calorie counting sets quotas, doses and portions, but it forgets that the people having to follow it are flesh and blood. Eating protein helps you burn fat – fast! Ounce for ounce, proteins are relatively low in calories when compared to fats and carbs, plus their complex structure means they’re harder to digest. As a result you burn up more calories processing proteins than any other food, and weight loss is inevitable and swift.

So this diet is very effective and it can literally change your life. Many people all around the world have benefited from using it and there's a reason why it's so popular nowadays. It's because it's working.
