THE BOMB BANK
Wanna save some money? Forget about those bank saving accounts as this way is not as fun as this one. Saving money is now easier then ever before thanks to a gadget called the bomb bank. This funny gadget will force you to make some savings every day and you will never go bankrupt. It represents a cute small piggy bomb-shaped box designed by TOMY, a Japanese toy maker company. It costs 3.000 yen that is 27 dollars and although it “explodes” may be used again and again. When a lazy user forgets to insert cash into the bank every day, the bank starts vibrating and making noises on an hourly basis. And believe me it will go to the end if you donâ??t add some cents to the bombâ??s account. It will automatically open its skull-marked door and spill all your precious money on the floor. This gadget would be a for your kids for Christmas as children love to put aside the cash gifts their family members give them. You will see that its threat works just great and you have nothing to do but save. Windows 7
Microsoft’s release of Windows Vista was attacked by analysts as premature, but there has been nothing but praise for the company’s newest operating system. The interface looks similar to Windows Vista, but there are a number of subtle changes which only improve the software’s usability. Gadgets and widgets can now be placed anywhere on the dashboard, with no programs located in the quick-launch bar â?? instead, they are “pinned” to the taskbar. Networking has changed, allowing users with multiple PCs on a network to share files and stream media content with Windows Media Player 12. Thumbnail previews give users the option to interact with programs without actually opening them, while a new library feature allows users to create folders of content containing files strewn across the computer in different locations. Compatibility issues have also been addresses with the addition of “XP Mode”, which allows a programs not supported by Windows 7 to be opened via a virtualised desktop system. Best of all â?? it’s much, much faster. Alienware Curved Monitor
No desktop computer is complete with an impressive LCD monitor. Thanks to Dell, tech-heads now have the ability to deck their kit out with one of the most technologically advanced, and largest, screens available. The curved monitor boasts a massive 2880×900 resolution with a 48-inch diagonal, mimics peripheral vision and has an astounding .02-millisecond response time. The LED illuminated screen uses rear-projection to obtain such a wide display. And while the monitor actually works by stitching together a number of different displays, the integration is seamless. The screen is designed for gaming, but there’s no doubt a number of tech-savvy entrepreneurs wouldn’t mind having this $US6,000 toy to spruce up their office. Nickon S1000PJ Virtually all handsets come with mobile cameras in today’s market, but it’s widely accepted a stand-alone device will generally deliver a better result than a lens used within a phone’s framework. The Nikon Coolpix S1000PJ is one of the hottest of its kind. The camera itself delivers 12.1-megapixel quality images, with a 2.7-inch viewing monitor, while the Nikon image processing technology renders these images within the camera itself. It also comes in a silver or black casing, along with a 5x zoom lens. A new type of automode allows the camera to automatically choose the best setting based on the contents of a photograph, while five extra functions reduce blur and the effect of shaking. But the camera’s draw card is its projection technology. The S1000PJ gives customers the ability to instantly share photos and videos by including a one-touch projection technology. Users simply point the camera towards a flat surface, and photos and images can then be shown on a screen up to 40 inches long â?? a feature sure to impress tech-heads. An Australian tech company is even on the forefront of this technology. Digislide, which was recently floated on the ASX, has even struck a deal with two mobile manufacturers to include it in future devices.

M.O.G
It is a testimony to the saving power of Christ and sheer determination that today, Paul â??Bossâ? Onyango, Anthony â??Tonyâ? Mburu and Kennedy â??Kentiâ? Kimani are not only changed, but changing lives as the prolific boy-group and multi-award winning, Men Of God (MOG). The story of this trio that brought you hits like Tempted , Zing Zing and Go Let Him Go is as heart-wrenching as it is uplifting. It is a story of determination to overcome the most amazing odds to make it in life.
Growing up in the Korogocho slums, their lives were filled with criminal activities common with youth in that neighborhood. Thrust early into petty theft, street life and eventually gang-related crimes, their lives were on a stereo-typical downward spiral. That was until Tumaini Church came along.
Their love for music started to shine forth in 2001, as parts of two different groups. Two years later, they joined together and after experimenting with several names – Trouble Finishers, The Blaze, The Zoo Boys â?? finally settled on MOG. In 2004, they did their first recording with Sakata Music, for the track Dunda Na Love. They followed this up with Christ Superstars produced by Homeboyz, before doing Tempted and Zing Zing at Ogopa and Sakata respectively.
Daddy Owen a.k.a Papa Fololo
Daddy Owen(Owen Mwatia) is a Kenyan gospel musician known for the Kapungala type of music, which he claims is a fusion of Kapuka and Lingala.
His hit track, System ya Kapungala, was done by Dr. Eddie from Eldoret.
His nickname ‘Papa Fololo’ was given to him by a friend of his from DRC.
Juliani
His ascent up the Gospel entertainment scene may have come rather quickly, but heâ??s been in the game for a minute, honing his mic skills and toning his spiritual muscle â?? all in readiness to serve Gospel fans a special lyrical feast.
Juliani admits to being a â??spiritual guyâ?? from his early years, having been raised in a strict Christian environment. Yet the message of Christ made no sense to him for many years, he was content to just drift through life, seeing where and how it would take him. He grew up as part of a large family, with one sister and five brothers. Born and bred in the sprawling Dandora suburbs, the spiritual home of many Kenyan hip-hop icons, including Kalamashaka and Ukoo Fulani, music effortlessly became a part of his existence.With his sleek lyrical flow and passionate delivery, he easily got absorbed into the group. Soon he started performing with them at many local gigs and clubs, especially at the renowned Florida 2000 night club and casino. In 2001 the group released the full-length album Kilio Cha Haki, and Julianiâ??s Fanya Tena was an attraction of it.
After attending Wangu Primary School, he moved on to the place where he would fall in love with the arts, Dandora Secondary School. There he started rapping after he met up with Wenyejiâ??s Robert who later introduced him to Ukoo Fulani.
In August of 2006, his chance meeting with another amazing talent initiated what might very well be a storied career in mainstream acceptance. During a school mission at Moi Forces Academy, he bumped into Astar, who was impressed enough with Julianiâ??s flow that he decided to introduce him to Kijiji Records. Astar had just completed recording his debut single Close Your Eyes; a track that was riding high on the local music charts. He made the unlikely gesture of inviting Juliani to feature on the remix to the said single â?? a touch of genius.
As far as solo material is concerned, Juliani teamed up with Gospo-Epicâ??s DJ riQ to release his very first artist mixtape, which was received fairly well on the streets. His singles have continued to capture the imagination of Gospel fans – the older Jesusnosis is still an unrivalled work of art, while his most recent jam, Mtaa Mentality has been a run-away hit, with a top-flight video to boot.
2009 saw Juliani become the first local act to get signed on a UK label. Gatwitch Records snapped him up, and soon after he released his critically acclaimed debut album, Mtaa Mentality, which features hit singles such as Biceps and Hela. The album also went on to garner two accolades at the 2009 Groove Awards – Best Hip-Hop Album (Mtaa Mentality), and Best Hip-Hop Single (Mtaa Mentality).
Eko Dydda
He is fresh, he is extraordinary and he is good, very good. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing one the newest acts in the local Gospel scene, Eko Dydda. An artiste, artist and poet, his is a world of art which he has embraced, nurtured and altered to bring a whole new meaning to the way itâ??s done.
Newbie Eko Dydda has captured the imagination of hip-hop lovers with his unique style.
Although he started tinkering with music while still in high school, it wasnâ??t until much later that he paid it any considerable attention. As one of the praise and worship leaders in church, he never thought he would become a rapper, only seeing himself singing as far as music was concerned. That was to change after he went to live with his older brother who was a Hip Hop head and budding producer.
Known for the hit collaboration with Holy Dave, Niko Na Reason, Eko is a grateful man – in fact, the song is a thanksgiving jam whose intention was to give glory to God for His goodness. Born 23 years ago, he has seen and lived it all, growing in some of Eastlandâ??s biggest slums including Mathare, Kariobangi and Huruma. Raised in a family of three brothers and one sister, his ride to the top of the charts has been quite eventful.
Eko credits his turn to hip-hop to a somewhat intriguing story: a â??spiritualâ?? friend in his former school, Eastleigh High, kept bugging him to seek God as he insisted Eko had something more to his purpose than just singing. He once woke up in the middle of the night only to hear tunes that sounded like beats ringing in his head. He was quite frustrated for this is not what he wanted; he had hoped God would give him a crystal clear answer about his calling. In fact, he found himself bickering to God telling Him to give the beats to his aspiring producer brother. Nevertheless, he asked God to give him words and was surprised when they came out as rhyme.
