Believe it or not but elephants can really paint! Today I came across a video on Youtube about an elephant artist painting with his trunk. It’s amazing to see these wonderful mammals painting original works of art. I have to admit that they are really better than I do at paining. Their talent has fascinated me…so I thought I share with you all some of their amazing works in the videos below. Prepare to be amazed…

The genius inventors at Microsoft are at it again with their high-tech innovations. They are developing the Microsoft Surface which is a new technology that allows one or many users to manipulate digital content by the use of natural motions, hand gestures or physical objects (i.e. camera, pda, cellphone, etc). The company plan to add this new technology in the hospitality businesses such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, public entertainment venues and the military for tactical overviews.
The Microsoft Surface has five cameras inside the table that record reflections of infrared light from human fingertips. The Surface has been optimized to respond to 52 touches at a time. The most interesting features in the Surface are the direct interaction, multi-touch contact, multi-user experience and object recognition. The direct interaction allows the user(s) to launch and use an application without using a mouse or keyboard. The multi-touch contact enable multiple contact points with an interface which several people can interact with an application simultaneously.
The Microsoft Surface is a 30-inch (76 cm) display in a table-like form factor, 22 inches (56 cm) high, 21 inches (53 cm) deep, and 42 inches (107 cm) wide. The Surface tabletop is acrylic and its interior frame is powder-coated steel. The Surface runs on a custom version of Windows Vista and has wired Ethernet 10/100, wireless 802.11 b/g, and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity.
The price of the Surface will be around $5,000 to $10,000 per unit and it will be available in 2011 for commercial purposes. However Microsoft said it expects prices to drop enough to make consumer versions feasible in 2010. This is not just a cool gadget to get people to interact and socialize, but it also is a great investment for businesses. I think it’s just a big version of the iPod Touch. What do you think?

When it comes to Apple advertising campaigns, we can conclude that all their ads are consistent in style but unique at the same time. You probably will remember seeing the famous big prints on big billboards and walls of dark silhouetted characters against bright-colored backgrounds listening to their iPod. This advertising campaign actually are quite effective, especially the silhouettes that are dancing on the TV commercials with attractive up-beat music.
I though that the Apple marketing team have a good formula going there with its advertising. But after being exposed to the ads below, I am having second thoughts. These ads for iPod is totally different from the typical iPod ads. Personally I don’t think it’s well executed. The purpose of the ads is branding, but is this necessary since we all by now know the Apple iPod brand so well. It is well recognized just like Dell, iMac, Google or Coke Cola. Are they trying to attract us with a new illustration concept? These are great illustrations, but to me it just doesn’t fit or sell!
If Apple iPod doesn’t ring a bell to you…Then you are definately missing out a lot! Check out all the awesome gadgets that they have on their website Apples.com.

Have you participated in a blog contest recently? If you did, you will likely have a chance to be the winner. But if you don’t participate when will you ever be a winner. It’s that simple and logical! I view this like playing the lottery where there will be very few winners and many losers. The odds of winning is not that high, but if you don’t give yourself a chance by entering the contest then you can’t expect to win anything!
That being said..I would like to share with everyone that I have won my second prize online since I have started blogging. Do you remember the post I have written in February about Business Blogger giving away $500 cash and a brand new graphic card to promote its new Business+Directory? Well I didn’t win the $500 cash or else I would have hired someone to design a brand new logo for KiwiPulse // Rock Your World! I was very happy this morning as the delivery of the brand new BFG NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT OC 512MB PCIe with ThermoIntelligence Graphics Card arrived at my door, just as promised by Chris. This graphic card will be very useful, since I haven’t upgraded my computer hardware for ages. It’s about time this machine get some new technology. I have taken some pictures of the prize for you all to see and feel bad that you didn’t enter the contest, or else you could have won. Thanks Chris and be sure that I will enter your next contest!
