Why Barack Obama should deliver subliminal messages through 50 cents's song?

Joe Biden's recent comments on Barack Obama, the U.S presidential candidate, being far removed from blacks in the U.S have riled up a trivial brouhaha of sorts. But the comments merit a thought or two. Not for Obama is biracial or a mud blood, the latter term has been used to assuage all you Harry Potter maniacs. Obama is the progeny of a white Americam mother and a black Kenyan father. But the majority of the blacks in America find their roots in West African slaves brought to Uncle Sam as slaves. This demographic is best represented by the 50 cents. I t is far removed from Senator Obama, a man well versed in political acumen and rhetoric. This is the way Americans know their blacks and maybe even the world knows no other way. But Obama has rather despised his biraciality and clung on to his black identity with laser-beam-focus. He visits a black church and echoes the voices of concern of black America. His fate in the next presidential election hinges on a knives edge but his prime concern, for his arch nemesis is an iron lady ready to conquer by the sword, prior to that his prime concern should be to make his identity easy to fathom for the average American. Maybe, he can cut an album with 50 cents and deliver subliminal messages to the Americans pertaining to his racial identity and cultivate an image of himself he most desires.

Why Buying Gold Coins Is A Smart Move ?

I am into stock trading and make a decent profit on my investments. But, I am also starting to get a little wary of the perils of stock trading. So, I decided to diversify my investments. I came across a company that trades in precious metals like gold. I decided to scrutinize them. Whatever little doubts I had about investing in precious metals withered away after I read a press release issued by Monex, the company alluded to in the preceding lines.

The web release did not wax eloquent about Monex but instead set the record straight on investing in gold coins. It laid stress on diversification of assets into solid and liquid. Gold and stocks epitomize the former and the latter respectively. Which, with all due respects, is fair enough. Even financial experts at Meryl Lynch would suggest the same in a it's-very-obvious way. The web release talked about investing 10-20% in solid assets like gold coins. It also gave the very reason for investing in precious metals. The reason being that the monetary value of precious metal does not depreciate over a long period of time. Whereas, even the value of currency depreciates. The prices of a commodity have not gone up but the value of the U.S dollar has taken a plunge. This the web release illustrates with a very credible example of the amount of silver that could buy four gallons of gas, when that quantity of gas was worth $1 and even today that amount of silver can buy four gallons of gas but the same amount of money can't. You can trust Monex for it has been around since 1967 and over a 100,000 satisfied customers have bought over a billion dollar worth of gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion and bullion coins from Monex.

Why Zune Can Turn the Tables On The Ipod (Iphone) ?

Microsoft's foray into the music player market has invited appalling reviews like this one from the Chicago Sun Times

"The Zune is a complete, humiliating failure. Toshiba's Gigabeat player, for example, is far more versatile, it has none of the Zune's limitations, and Amazon sells the 30-gig model for 40 bucks less."

The limitations or shortcomings of the Zune are unprecedented. Microsoft expected it to be an avant garde player, the first with capabilities such as blue tooth and WiFi . But it had far too many limitations that eventually dug it's proverbial grave. The design did not go down all that well with users. I think the shortcomings have been written about a zillion times. So, let's look at the upside, if any.
To be fair, the present is all but gloomy but there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel for the Zune. If we look back in hindsight, the Xbox also met a similar fate. But Microsoft learned it's lessons , as it so often does. Probably it treads untested waters with the sole aim of congregating reconnaissance and using that vital information to succeed on it's second coming. This Microsoft has proved time and again and nothing epitomizes this fact more than Xbox 360's success.
It is important to remember that the competition in the music player industry is different from the gaming industry, or at least the respective market leaders and there business acumen is light years adrift. Sony might have committed the cardinal sin of downplaying the Xbox 360 but do not expect apple to make that mistake. As Apple has all ready spilt the beans on it's sucker punch, the Iphone, which is borne out of general evolution. But it's feature are anything but generic. The multi-touch feature in the Iphone is touted to be a novelty and consequently an instant hit with the users. This again is an intriguing battle for top honors but this war shall endure for quite a few years. Is Microsoft ready for a Coup De Et.

The Sunday Review:HotelReservations.com Under The Scanner

On entering the portal for the very first time you would not find anything that stands out in terms of the design but it still is easy on the eyes. It is a run of the mill travel reservation website but then that is ironically the forte of this portal, as it is user friendly and the ease of use is commendable. It might not be setting new benchmarks on the website design front but the design is affable.

You can not only make hotel reservations but also choose vacation packages, rent condos, book flight tickets and rent cars etc. That is an exhaustive list, isn't it? The site is meticulously crafted and attention to the tiniest need of the user has been paid. You can access the site in four different languages; namely French, English , German and Spanish. Three toll free numbers are listed on the website and you can call on them depending on which part of the world you are calling from. If you have any queries then you can either go to the comprehensive FAQ section or make a call.

The most pleasing aspect is the ease with which one can make all the bookings, even if the purported excursion spans the entire globe. Right from the air tickets to the pick-up car at the airport and the hotel, all with the click of the least number of buttons possible and at an alluring price. The investigative and inquisitive journo in me decided to embark on a voyage to a land across the Atlantic, but alas it was a figment of my imagination. Just to get the hang of the website. I decided that my hypothetical journey would start from New York and end in New York. Do not worry,the interlude would have me in London. So, here are the details of my journey:

Air Tickets:I got return tickets, and hypothetically I always fly first class , for $3850.40. This was the best fare, available on an Air India flight. There were other flights but were at a premium and it would have been highly prodigal of me to book them. They were 60% more costlier than the flight I opted for.

Arrival at Heathrow airport: I arrived at the airport at 7:45 A.M. I had rented a car through the website. I rented the cheapest economy car, promptly christened Thrifty, available for $34.63 a day .

Hotel: I had booked a hotel, through the website, near Hyde park. Interestingly enough the option of choosing hotels near various landmarks of London was available to me. I again was the epitome of austerity and picked up the cheapest room at $33.

Well, I am exhausted after my hypothetical trip to London, maybe next time I will book a hotel near Buckingham palace. Who knows the air that royalty breathes might make feel like a royal and then I will get pampered like one. Anyways the review is over but hotelreservations.com is not. As the website is one of the best of it's kind and highly user friendly. Visit the website to find the most enticingly priced deals on everything from flights to Hotel Reservations.
