However hard Gore tried to won the elections, and however we might say he was taken out of his certain win (besides Fox channel), this was a weird Nobel Prize.

What is peace? This question seems to be fashion and Miss universe related, but depending on our definition of peace, this will seem like a weird prize to win.

I believe that the “judges” from the awards committee thought that Global Warming and Climate Change issues wore more important than the war in Iraq and in the Middle East, world hunger and violent conflicts such as terrorism. Ok, that is obvious, because they gave the man the Oscar. Ops, I meant the Nobel.

But what I consider is that the Nobel of peace is not only devoted to war and violence related - as the name might imply - but also to issues regarding the peace of the planet as a whole. So we might say that we, humans, are at war against the planet, and Gore tried to put a end to it, or at least open our eyes.

I believe this Nobel prize should be renamed for Nobel for Trying to keep the planet alive. Seriously! It would make much more sense, and be much more related to what the prize means.

It is widely known that there are many blogging tools available in the Internet. Most of them, such as this one we will be talking about, Blogonize, are free. The bigger the diversity and competition, better for us, consumers and bloggers!

The two most popular bloggin host services are the Wordpress and Blogger (now by Google). Wordpress was a blogging system now is a blog provider, which means you can host your blog there; and Blogger has always been a bloggin provider, but now offers more options, templates, higher personalization for “professional bloggers”.

Anyway, Blogonize is another option for those who are willing to create their own blog. They offer many templates, available for free. One of their highest points is an easy to use interface, which provides easy publication with few clicks.

There is also a support for text2podcast system: let the machine read your posts to the readers. And for more advanced users (but not much) there is the HTML editor.

Still in Beta, may be promising, but nothing special about it.

Sony Bravia ads have been said to be pieces of art. In fact, they are. It pleases the eyes to watch those ads (the newest can be seen down here) - even if the sony bravia television in fact is not all of that advertised.

However, this last tv-youtube ad has had a greater buzz than the previous ones: the Sony employed company, Passion Pictures, copied pieces of art from other advertising agency, KozyNDan. so it leaves us with the question: should Passion Pictures pay a fair ammount to the other company, for the use of their material?

No matter how unclear this story is, still a beautiful piece of art, that is this latest Sony Bravia TV Ad. Enjoy:

YouTube has a Google like design: simple and effective. Even thou the new changes are comming, with the videos and related links changing position, giving space for possibly an adsense, YouTube still doesn’t feel like TV.

Users still feel YouTube is a collection of videos, well - barely - organized, that can be found in one single place. There is no relation between most videos, and many of them are just the same, with the same name but from different users.

YouTube Desktop implements a new skin, a new visualization for YouTube. there you will find more easily related videos, disposed in channels, just like Nintendo Wii channels, side to side, with some images, which can be resizable, just like a Windows Desktop experience, from where the name was taken from.

Anyway, it is a good change for YouTube, but nothing special or spectacular about it.

You can try the YouTube Desktop by signing in (open Beta) click here.

Recently a German group released a pillow that would cure snoring. By moving the patient head when snoring, just like the wife or husband would do when the other would snore too loud.

What in fact this pillow does is disguise the real sickness that makes one snore: sleeping apnea. If you have sleeping apnea, or your love one, you probably wake up tired, due to interruption in the sleep, disabling you to achieve the REM sleep, which is the sleep stage that revigorates and makes feel fresh new for the next day.

At least it does give neck massages, and that sounds interesting…
