Some general definations are here to better understand the differance between some harmful n unwanted names in any PC. Reed to better understand them
Do you have a Virus?
Are you infested with pop-up ads, new toolbars in your browser, is your home page changed or are you bombarded with irritating spam? Perhaps your computer is running very slow or worst, you can't get on the internet. If so, your PC is most likely infected with adware, anti adware, spyware, spybot, trojans, viruses or another internet parasite. Viruses won't go away anytime soon! More than 60,000 viruses have been identified, and new viruses are created every day, according to the International Computer Security Association.
What is a Trojan?
A Trojan is malware that performs unexpected or unauthorized, often malicious,
actions. The main difference between a Trojan and a virus is the inability to
replicate. Trojans cause damage, unexpected system behavior, and compromise the security of systems, but do not replicate. If it replicates, then it should be
classified as a virus. A Trojan, coined from Greek mythology's Trojan horse,
typically comes in good packaging but has some hidden malicious intent within its code. When a Trojan is executed users will likely experience unwanted system problems in operation, and sometimes loss of valuable data.
What is Malware?
Malware, short for malicious software, refers to any malicious or unexpected program or code such as viruses, and trojans. What is Spyware? Spyware is short for advertising supported software (Adware). Software that sends information about your internet habits back to the computer from which it's launched. Spyware is often built into free downloads and works in the background without a user's knowledge .Since it doesn't record an individual's personal information, it's often used to create marketing profiles based on surfing habits. Why is it called "Spyware"? While this may be a great concept, the downside is that the advertising companies also install additional tracking software on your system, which is continuously sending your tracking information over the internet. While according to the privacy policies of the companies, there will be no sensitive or identifying data collected from your system and you shall remain anonymous, it still remains the fact, that you have a "live" server sitting on your PC that is sending information about you and your surfing habits to a remote location.
What is a Rootkit?
A Rootkit is the hardest virus to detect. It is designed to hide in the computers
core processes making it difficult to detect. It often requires a complete wiping of
the hard drive and reinstalling the original operating system. What is a Dialer?
Dialers can be costly. A black hat hacker can use a dialer to dial those expensive
telephone numbers in small countries or to transmit stolen data.
What are Exploits?
Exploits are what keeps Bill Gates and Microsoft up late at night. Hackers try to
find flaws in Windows to bypass security so they can get access to your computer.
Service Pact 2 is an example of a patch that is used to correct a flaw in Windows. Is
Spyware illegal? Even though the name may indicate so, spyware is not an illegal type of software in any way. However there are certain issues that a privacy oriented user may object to and therefore prefer not to use the product. This usually involves the tracking and sending of data and statistics via a server installed on the user's PC and the use of your Internet connection in the background. These tools are perfectly legal in most places, but, just like an ordinary tape recorder, if they are abused, they can seriously violate your privacy.
What's the hype about?
While legitimate adware companies will disclose the nature of data that is collected and transmitted in their privacy statement, there is almost no way for the user to actually control what data is being sent. The fact is that the technology is in theory capable of sending much more than just banner statistics - and this is why many people feel uncomfortable with the idea. When was the last time you read a privacy statement on a web site? Millions of people are using advertising supported "spyware" products and could not care less about the privacy hype, in fact some "Spyware" programs are among the most popular downloads on the Internet. Spyware is often bundled with free software and games. There are also many PC surveillance tools that allow the user to monitor all kinds of activity on a computer, ranging from keystroke capture, keyloggers, snapshots, email logging, chat logging and just about everything else. These tools are often designed for parents, businesses and similar environments, but can be easily abused if they are installed on your computer without your knowledge.
What is a Virus?
A computer virus is a program of executable code that has the ability to replicate.
Like biological viruses, computer viruses can spread quickly and are often difficult
to eradicate. They can attach themselves to just about any type of file and are
spread as files that are copied and sent from individual to individual. Some computer viruses can also destroy files, reformat your hard drive, or cause other damage. If the virus does not contain a damage routine, it can cause trouble by consuming storage space and memory, and degrading the overall performance and resources of your computer. Several years ago most viruses spread primarily via floppy disk, but the Internet has introduced new virus distribution mechanisms. With email now used as an essential business communication tool, viruses are spreading faster than ever. Viruses attached to email messages can infect an network or your computer in minutes, costing companies millions of dollars annually in lost productivity and virus extraction expenses.
What is a Wabbit?
Wabbit's are rare. Oddly enough they don't do much unless it's on your computer. They don't try to spread to other computers, but they can be devastating to your computer.
What is a Backdoor?
Backdoors are a lot like Trojans and worms, except they open a backdoor to your
computer allowing hackers into your computer to load viruses or to send spam through your computer.
The Center for Research in Urdu Language Processing (CRULP)
| The Center for Research in Urdu Language Processing (CRULP) is first of its kind in Pakistan. The Center’s main objective is to conduct research for the evolution of computational models of Urdu and Pakistan’s other regional languages. The research at CRULP is carried within the context of projects, each having a well defined list of deliverables. Current projects being conducted at CRULP are: | ||
| PAN Localization Project | ||
| This project is an initiative of International Development Research Center (IDRC), Canada and the Center for Research in Urdu Language Processing (CRULP). The Objective of this project is to build local language computing capacity in regional institutions of Asia. Phase II of PAN Localization project will research into challenges associated with digital literacy of end-users using the localized technology for communication and to produce local language content. The project will also continue to further mature the language technology in the target languages. This project is led by researchers at CRULP, NUCES. CRULP will be coordinating efforts across Asia through ICT researchers, practitioners, linguists and policymakers from government agencies, universities and the private sector. The countries (and languages) included in the second phase of the project are Afghanistan (Pashto), Bangladesh (Bangla), Bhutan (Dzongkha), Cambodia (Khmer), China (Tibetan), Laos (Lao), Mongolia (Mongolian), Nepal (Nepali), Pakistan (Urdu) and Sri Lanka (Sinhala, Tamil). | ||
| PAN Localization Pakistan Component | ||
| This is the Pakistan Country Component of the PAN Localization Project. This project consists of three main activities: | ||
| Microsoft Vista Urdu Language Interface Pack | ||
| The main objective of this project is to develop a Language Interface Package (LIP) for Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Office . This language pack will provide Urdu language interface for Microsoft's upcoming Vista operating system. It will also enable the general masses to use Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office in Urdu language, who cannot understand English. For this purpose, the scope of the project includes translation of 300,000 English words in Urdu. Microsoft provides the translation tools (i.e. LocStudio) and translation files (i.e. *.edb). The translation is done at CRULP end. This project is sponsored by Microsoft Corporation, USA. | ||
| Lexicon for Urdu Language | ||
| This project aims to develop a lexicon for Urdu language for Nokia. This lexicon will be used for future development of speech and language technology. This project includes the development of a lexicon of commonly used words in Urdu, some domain specific words and proper nouns. The lexicon will also contain basic grammatical and pronunciation information of these words, and will provide almost complete corpus (and language) coverage. The lexicon will be the fundamental building block for other applications in script, speech and language technologies, to be developed in the future, including basic user services (e.g., SMS support, address book) to more advanced user assistance applications (e.g., text-to-speech, speech recognition, spoken language translation and handwriting recognition technologies). Nokia has already indicated that follow-up work on Urdu speech synthesis will be undertaken using this lexicon (based on unit selection technique, which CRULP has not yet done). This project is sponsored by Nokia Research, Beijing, China. | ||
| Urdu Localization Project | ||
| The Urdu localization project envisages bringing the benefits of information age to vast majority of Pakistan which are not literate in English, the lingua franca of Internet, and thus are deprived of the immense possibilities offered by this revolution. It will also usher the Urdu language, the national language of Pakistan spoken and understood by masses, to the information age. | ||
| Urdu Component Development | ||
| SpellChecker, Collation and Normalization are basic language utilities. The purpose of this project is to provide APIs for these utilities for Urdu language. SpellChecker utility will check words for spelling errors and will suggest a ranked list of words if a spelling error is found. Collation utility will provide a language sensitive comparison of two strings with respect to sorting. Normalization is a process to convert multiple equivalent representations of data to consistent underlying normal forms. |

Sony Ericsson G705 is now official
Sony Ericsson G705 - another cellphone in Sony’s G series, which was initially set to be released on the Sept 8, but it got delayed for a day. At least it’s come now a day later.The SE G705 is a good looking slider which is loaded with nice mid-end features. Since it’s also a member in the G-series, it’s meant to be used as a personal assistant in your overly busy daily life. The SE G705 doesn’t run on Symbian UIQ and neither on any other mobile OS. In fact, it’s on a Java platform.
The phone sports a 2.4 inch TFT display with 262K colors, and supports auto-rotation. You’ll find A-GPS, DLNA, Bluetooth 2.0, FM radio, 120MB of internal memory, 1GB M2 card and 3.2-megapixel camera with flash on this cellphone. The camera is also capable of geotagging and video recording.
The phone is to ride on quad-band GSM cellular networks. It’s been loaded with some Google features, equipped with a full HTML browser, with a shortcut key to have quick access to Google Maps and also video viewing and direct uploading on YouTube. It also supports Exchange ActiveSync for your email.
Since the phone is ready with the nice browser and functions with Google Maps, YouTube and email etc, it must come ready with high-speed Internet connectivity. Yes, it works on Tri-band HSDPA, which Sony claims that it’s the “turbo 3G speeds”.
The US version is made available in early 2009, whereas the G705u, which is the first SE’s UMA-enabled phone will be made available for the UK. The price tag still remains unknown.
RIM Blackberry Pearl Flip phone aka Kickstart gets official
BlackBerry Pearl Flip, also known as Kickstart Clamshell, had come to our attention early in May. And now it’s got official. But disappointingly, it’s got no 3G high-speed data support. But you’ll find WiFi, a 2-megapixel camera and a full-on document editor on this first flip phone of RIM.This flip phone will debut on T-mobile sometime in spring this year but the pricing details is still unknown. The Pearl Flip measures 3.9 x 1.9 x 0.7-inch, which is thinker than the original Pearl that measures only 0.57 inches in thickness. But the Pearl Flip presents a relatively compact look.
The Pearl flip carries an external display and an internal display that has a resolution of 240 x 320-pixel. And the SureType keypad lies exactly beneath the internal screen. As mentioned this flip phone can reach EDGE which has no 3G support, so you can only do simple emailing and Internet browsing on this phone. Heavy download tasks and streaming video will need you for a long wait.
The Pearl flip’s WiFi comes with UMA support, which might mean the phone is compatible with T-mobile’s HotSpot @Home Wi-Fi voice calling. GPS support seems to have no luck on the Pearl Flip, as the press release says that the Pearl lets you connect to a GPS receiver via Bluetooth. Meaning that it’ll have no built-in GPS module.
To elaborate more about the full-on document editor - it’s an editor that allows you to edit Office documents (Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc) on the go. Other goodies are a video/music player, an “enhanced” HTML browser, 2 MP camera that’s capable of video, voice commands and microSD memory expansion up to 16GB.

Bionic Commando Rearmed [XBLA]
Before gamers became addicted to detailed textures and motion capture, they were used to games of the 80's and early 90's. These were games that used 5 colors and as much space as a mp3 song. The reason gamers were satisfied was because games made in those days were heavy on creativity. I have no intention of demeaning modern day game developers; they did give us Bioshock, MGS4 and World of Warcraft, but one has to agree that games on the 8-bit console had a certain charm to them.
A very popular side-scroller game of yesteryears was Bionic Commando, this game came out 20 years ago. I remember playing Bionic Commando a few years back using an emulation software for the PC, since I had heard so much about the original. The one thing that I noticed about BC was that the game was quite difficult, the puzzles, the level design were fairly challenging. Fortunately, developers have maintained the difficulty in the modern day version as well; let's get into the finer details of this amazing game.
Intel’s new Core i7 processor
If you imagined that after Core 2 Duo the processor name would be like Core 3 Trio, or Core 3, but NO the new name convention sounds totally different, Core i7. Statements have come over what i7 really means and whether it’s an iApple inspiration, but Intel has promised all will become clear soon enough.
The Core 2 Duo processor architecture is being upgraded to a new processor. Previously codename "Nehalem", Intel has decided to stick with the "Core" branding for its processors, but is giving its processor the new designation "i7".There will be several "Intel Core i7 processors", including an "Extreme Edition" version (which some UK tech sites like to call the "Extremely Expensive" edition), but there will, according to Intel, be "several new identifiers to come" throughout 2009.
Intel is promising "high performance and energy efficiency" in a "best of both worlds" approach, which Intel says "is expected to extend Intel's processor leadership in future mobile, desktop and server market segments."
Of course Intel would say that – no-one would want to upgrade otherwise, but apparently there are 8 core and even 16 core models to come, taking us all into the true multi-core era at last.
We’ll see i7 processors come into sight at the end of this year, 2009 will be the year that i7 processors really take centre stage.
Even though i7 is not a number that exactly flows on from the current "Core 2 Duo" designation, Intel says to "believe it or not, this new naming scheme should make it easier for PC buyers to decide which technology is right for them."
Intel also says that "the Intel Core processor will become the foundation, the primary client brand going forward, with individual identifiers distinguishing different features and capabilities with the family of processors."
System Restore Tip
After reading through my e-mails the last couple of weeks,
it seems like there's a great need for this tip again.
So, here's a refresher for all of you on the system restore process.
Check it out!
Have you ever made a change to your computer
that messed everything up?
You know, maybe you downloaded something you shouldn't have
or you installed a new program that just doesn't agree with your computer.
Either way, a great feature to use in those types of situations
is the Windows XP System Restore.
With the System Restore, you can go back to a previous time on your computer,
without losing any of your documents, pictures, e-mails or anything!
The System Restore is able to keep track of any changes you may make
to your system and it automatically creates what are called "restore points" for you.
These points allow you to travel back to a time when your system was
in a more stable condition.
To bring up the System Restore feature, all you have to do is
go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools
and then click System Restore.
You must be logged in as the Administrator as well.
Also, make sure you close down any other open programs and
save all your files before you begin.
When you're ready, select the button that says
"Restore my computer to an earlier time."
Then click Next.
The days you see in bold type are days that have restore points.
Select the day you want to go back to and click Next.
Windows will then shut down and restart, with the settings from the date chosen.
Pretty slick, huh?!
Even though the System Restore feature automatically creates restore points,
it is also a good idea to manually create some when you are making any
major changes to your computer.
To do this, select the button marked "Create a Restore Point"
on the first screen and then click Next.
Give the restore point a name and then click Create.
The new point will be stamped with the current date and time.
So, as you can see, if you ever run into any problems with your computer,
you have a safety net thanks to this little feature.
I can't even remember how many times it has saved me.
It's surely not something you want to forget about any time soon!
Microsoft's big bid for Yahoo
In Yahoo, Microsoft saw a way to make gains in the online realm. But after all the entreaties and ultimatums, the software giant wasn't able to get its way, and Yahoo remains an independent company. Tune in here for the latest.
Latest coverage: What Yahoo has, Microsoft wants, but Yahoo continues to play hard to get. Even as talks start, stop, and sputter, the two companies still face a formidable foe in Google--and many questions about what they'll do next.

Google spotlights customized search differences
Google has begun showing details about how it customizes search results for location and search history.
(Credit: Google)
Google's search engine gives different responses depending on the location of a person and various other factors. On Wednesday, the company said, it will show searchers exactly what those differences are.
"Today, we're rolling out a new feature in Google Web Search that will help you better understand how your search results are already customized," said Rachel Garb, a Google product manager, in the blog post. A message will appear above the search results telling how searches were customized and offering a link to share more details.
Specifically, the message will show how search changed from three customization possibilities:
• Location, as judged by an approximate real-world city based on a user's Internet Protocol address or by address information stored in a user's Google account.
• Recent searches. Google pays attention to previous search queries because they can provide context Google can use to interpret the search. "We keep the most recent query on your browser for a limited time. After that, the information is removed from your browser and disappears immediately if you close your browser," Garb said.
• Search history. For users who have Web History enabled (users must explicitly enable it), Google also factors in a longer history of searches. "One important note about Web History: it belongs to you and you have complete control over it," Garb said. "You can remove specific items or pause the service at any time. And if there's a particular search that you'd rather not have personalized based on your Web History, you can also just temporarily sign out of your Google Account."
Google developing VC arm
Google is revisiting efforts to create a venture capital arm, according to a report on The Wall Street Journal's Web site Wednesday night.
Google senior VP David Drummond is expected to lead the effort, according to people who were briefed on the discussions. The group has also hired former entrepreneur William Maris, 33, to help set up the venture, the newspaper reported.
The search engine has played with the idea before, and the plans could still fall through.
If successful, the new venture would put Google--a company better known for buying companies than investing in them--in the more-formal role of helping get start-ups off the ground. Other Silicon Valley companies with extensive VC track records include Intel, Hewlett-Packard, and Motorola, among others.
The move comes at a tough time for overall venture capital investing. A report from Dow Jones VentureSource earlier this month stated that VC investments dropped 12 percent in the second quarter compared with the same period a year ago, with $6.64 billion put into 602 deals--the lowest quarterly deal count in three years.
More venture firms found themselves funneling money to support later-stage companies at the expense of companies seeking first-time funding. The amount of money sunk into start-ups seeking first-round funds dropped by 12 percent to $1.6 billion in the second quarter. Meanwhile, later-stage deals grew by 14 percent to $3.1 billion because those companies in particular had fewer opportunities to go public. No venture-backed company went public in the second quarter.
How to Increase Your Google Rank in 5 Simple Steps
Throughout this article I'm going to use some terminology you may not be familiar with.
Inbound link - Theses are one way links coming into your website
Outbound link - There's are one way links that are leaving your website
Cross Links - These are link exchanges, eg you link to site A and site A links back to you
Page Rank/PR - This is on a scale of 1-10 and is how Google measures how important your website is
SEO or Search engine optimization is key to driving traffic to your website from search engines. People often wonder how to get those coveted 1-10 ranks for your keywords, but struggle in doing so. The first and most important step in obtaining those rankings is to target specific key phrases. Its better to target a specific phrase than an individual word, as competition for the individual words is very high and usually dominated by massive businesses.
1) Check out your competitors
For example, lets assume your business sells computers. It would be an impossible task to optimize your site for the keyword 'computer' or 'computers'. If you do a Google search for 'computer' you will see there are 1,330,000,000 results and the top ranking sites include apple and dell to name a few. You will never get into that top 10 list, there is simply to much competition.
2) So, what do I do?
Have a look at your website and ask yourself what do you sell? Is it computers specifically built to play games? If so you should try 'custom gaming pcs. This search term returns 413,000 results much easier to beat than the previous 1,330,000,000 results and the #1 spot only has 53 inbound links. This should be fairly easy to beat and take their precious #1 spot.
Before we start looking at how to build links, you need to make sure that your website has being optimized for your chosen keywords. I recommend a piece of software called http://www.seoelitedirect.com
3) Checking out competitors inbound links
If you haven't purchased SEO Elite (http://www.seoelitedirect.com) which has this superb feature built in. I will show you how to check out your competitors links, the long way...
Access toolbar.google.com and install the toolbar on your browser. Type your keyword into the search (in this example 'custom gaming pcs') and then click on options > more tab and tick the page info box. Simply click on the blue circle icon with an I in it and then choose 'Backwards links'. This will show you a sample of the incoming links a page has, as you can see the #1 spot has 53 inbound links.
4) Make friends with other websites
Look at each inbound link the #1 spot has, see if each page is relevant to your website, it probably is! Browse around the site and find a way to contact the webmaster, there is usually an email address somewhere. Simply contact the webmaster and ask if they would like to trade links with you. Take not of the green bar on Google tool bar, this tells you the Page rank of the page. Links from sites with higher PR are better than links from sites with low PR.
Do this for every site that is linking to the #1 site for your keyword. Then do it for spot #2, #3, #4 and so on. Some webmasters will just ignore your email, don't get disheartened, there are plenty more links out there waiting for you! If a webmaster refuses to trade links, thank him gracefully.
5) Results
After doing the above for a couple of weeks, Google will re-index their rankings and you will jump up the search rankings. It can take a few months for your page rank to be updated though so don't worry about that. The more links you build, the higher you will rank. The more you put in the more you get out of it.
I strongly suggest you invest in some SEO software. Personally I swear by SEO elite (there are others out there) and it gives you a serious edge over your competition, perfectly optimizing your website for your chosen keywords! Not to mention the amount of time it will save you with its automated features, it will automatically find webmasters to email and do all of the hard work for you, consider it as link building on auto pilot.

Online Money Making Tools- Keyword Tool
Among the online money making tools you've got for your online business I'm sure a keyword tool is the king and queen! A keyword tool is, in other words, the way to tell how your potential customers are looking into their need. After all, it takes a need and its satisfaction to bring a salesman and a customer together!
There are some available online money making tools that include a keyword tool, others that sell separately and some keyword tools that are free. Although snubbed by certain people these latter ones can be of huge assistance and if used properly do not have anything to miss compared to the more sophisticated tools that sell for a considerable amount of money. Here are some sources for you to explore:
1)The free wordtracker tool. This tool lets you know how many times a certain term has been searched for in the search engines. You can find valuable information here and if you look closely to the related searches that this tool provide you can see certain trends that potential customers develop when searching to buy. Some disadvantages are the not so accurate search volume that comes up with, not in terms of relevancy but in terms of volume and the fact that it does not provide you with some competition information that other tools give you. Nevertheless, it is really effective especially for people that know to read between the lines!
2)The keyword tool from Google adwords. This is again a fine keyword tool that has the main advantage to provide data straight from the source: Big Google itself! It gives you info on the search volume of keywords, competition lookout and other statistical data. Among the online money making tools that you may encounter this should become a daily habit! It also has a really powerful feature of keyword research that is similar to reverse engineering!
3) The Google trends. While this is not the typical keyword tool it is free and can be used to spot search terms over the period of time. You can learn for instance that the keyword you were thinking to promote declines during the winter and spikes during summer in terms of volume search. So going after it just before summer would give you something to anticipate.
Of course there are other online money making tools out there but the above ones are really well tested and they are free! They do have some weaknesses and only the combined use of them can help you get over these obstacles.

Google does NOT consider CPC while paying you! So why do you?
Yes! While paying you for a click, Google doesn't consider the CPC an advertiser is willing to pay. So, why do you put so much emphasis on CPC? Google considers many other factors while deciding your payout. Predict your AdSense earnings by studying the behavior of keywords. Start thinking beyond CPC, and choose the right keywords for your Adsense websites.
The Top Paying and Searching Keywords
Top 11 Paying and Most Searched Keywords on Google and Yahoo
If you have a website, write articles, or want to profit through an affiliate program than this is gold to you! These keywords are the actual top 11 on the internet. Use them and you are on your way to increased traffic, profits and results. Here they are and a little about each to help you on your way.
1) Paris Hilton. Whether we like it or not Paris and her wild lifestyle are here to stay as she is now considered one of the biggest stars. She is sought after by almost every fashion designer and her keywords will do well with any fashion or clothing content.
2) Google. Well, this one is obvious as Google is the largest search engine (regardless what Yahoo says). Being that Google is a search engine it can be used in any content, but works best with relation to websites, search engines, computers and software.
3) Yahoo. The second largest search engine and distant second on Pay per Click campaigns - very, very distant at that. The same will work for Yahoo. Stick with computer related material and you will do well.
4) Ebay. The worlds largest marketplace and auction. Ebay, for the most part is a wholesale marketplace. It is ruled by feedback and can give you a good idea as to the real value of a car (check Ebay motors). On Ebay anything goes including people selling tattoo advertising on themselves. In other words, anything can be linked to Ebay in one way or another. Yes, there is even porn on Ebay.
5)Eminem. Yes, the real slim shady is back. According to R and B and rap he never left as he is the number one rapper currently. If you need content on current music or teen and young adult topics Eminem is sure to bring you visitors.
6) Britney Spears. She was the hottest pinup for teens and preteens, but now she is probably pregnant again. I wonder why Kevin Federline didn't make the list - is it that he isn't a good singer? Britney is great for adolescent or music related
content.
7) mapquest. Want to know where something is or how to get there. Being that we are getting closer to summer people are plotting out there vacations. Or, maybe, due to increasing gas prices thanks to George Bush, maybe they are figuring that its too far and will cost too much in gas. I bet if Hillary Clinton were President these gas prices wouldn't be any higher than $1.60 per gallon. These high gas prices have to do with the Bush family and their ties to big oil and energy. See, Mapquest can be linked to just about any content you want if you just try a little.
8) Tsunami. Even though the big one is over. Relief efforts are still in effect and so are the relief efforts for Katrina. Hint - these people still need lots of help. Tsunami is probably a big keyword due to the recent specials on TV about the next possible tsunami that might hit America. People are concerned and interested over these large scale natural disasters. When is the next earthquake going to hit California, will atsunami hit New York, and what will this hurricane season bring?
9) Girls. Yes, of course. There are millions of perverts and closet perverts out there that are a little over-fascinated with girls. As Donald Trump once said, "sex sells." Yes it does and nothing sells better than women or girls. They can sell anything including the worst items in infomercials and complete scams. A beautiful girl just needs to show a little cleavage and TV ratings soar. Just think what girls can do for your content.
10) American Idol. This is the top rated TV show and its in its 5th or 6th season. It has launched one star - Kelly Clarkson and a bunch of duds. Randy, Paula and simon have now become household names along with Ryan Seacrest. Any content you can tie into the current cast will do well. The previous casts should be avoided as they will soon go back to karaoke and such at local bars.
11) Skin care and skin treatment. This has always been a big one with women. It has been rumored that women will go without food before they will go without makeup and such. Just ask any department store how important skin care and skin treatment products are to their bottem line. Watch Shop NBC - almost every product on there has something to do with skin care and skin treatment for women. There are a wide variety of topics you can easily talk about here from the latest in laser therapy at dermatology offices and at home TCA skin peels for treating acne and wrinkles. Acne is and always will be a big topic as will wrinkles and their respective treatments. For more info on at home TCA skin peels please see the link below.
There you have it the top 11 keywords on the internet from Paris Hilton to skin care and skin treatment to Google and American Idol. All with tips on how to use them to make your content have more impact and drive more traffic.

Toshiba's Release new 1.8-inch HDD
Toshiba's New 1.8-inch HDD Achieves 160GB, the Industry's Largest*1 Storage Capacity for Drive with a Serial ATA Interface
TOKYO—Toshiba Corporation today announced a new line-up of 1.8-inch hard disk drives (HDD) adopting a serial ATA interface, including the industry's first*1 drive of this type with a capacity of 160 gigabytes. The new 160GB drive, MK1617GSG, and an 80GB drive, MK8017GSG, will enter mass production in August.
Toshiba's new 1.8-inch HDDs boost interface speed to 1.5Gbps and offer a rotation speed of 5,400 rpm, faster than the current generation of Toshiba 1.8-inch HDD (MK1214GAH, parallel ATA, 120GB). By realizing the industry's first 160GB 1.8-inch drive with a serial ATA interface, Toshiba assures that mobile PCs will be able to meet the most demanding user needs.
The new MK1617GSG drive is more environmentally efficient than Toshiba's current MK1216GSG (120GB) model, and raises energy consumption efficiency, as defined under the Japanese legal standard, to 0.00281W/GB, a 25% improvement. The drive improves the maximum internal data transfer rate by approximately 17%, and supports faster data access in reading and writing that enhances overall performance.
Alongside Toshiba's 1.8-inch HDD of 80GB and 120GB serial ATA interface drives already in the market, the new drives will provide product manufacturers with a broad line-up that supports diverse applications.
