These days Apple came with some new stuff. First of all, we all were happy to see Steve "vertical". Jobs has liver transplant and he shoots a pipe that he's doing well.
Apple announced some new product updates: new iPods and new v.9 iTunes. Although it wasn't extreme new in core, new iTunes has some great improvements.

It isn't a revelation that we will face the deepening financial crisis just in the near future. How would it affect contextual advertising?

Most of the stuff we use in our everyday life have some kind of interface to manipulate. Some are actually, handy and we do what we need don't even thinking about.

The other...  Seems that I'll start collecting that funny things. The picture below is just an example of stupid user interface I've made a shot yesterday. I don't know what the guys were thinking about, BTW it cost me all I knew not to plug it out to see what would happen.

Just within one week after the Iranian social network wave named "Facebook revolution", when the web caused a dramatic impact and quick succession of events in real life, we observe an opposite influence. Death of a pop star Michael Jackson affected web and caused a slowdown through of innumerous users' activity.

Google, as a world leading search provider, indicated a "volcano" growth of searches containing "Michael Jackson" with its peak just in 2 hours after the news become public. The fair quantity of looking-similar searches even caused an anti-spam security system to block that kind of searches, being suspected of fraud or automatic searches.
