Andrew — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:00:51 +0000

Attention all adrenalin junkies! Do you love Pepsi? Do you get your weekend kicks from adrenalin fuelled wild-rides and extreme sports?

Well you could win some crazy prizes from Pepsi by entering their Pepsi Ride competition. All you have to do is drink Pepsi, save you can or bottles and keep your fingers crossed.

Pepsi have always been associated with adrenalin junkies. Remember the some of the infamous Pepsi Max adverts in the early 90’s? Well they are going back to their roots and are offering adrenalin fuelled prizes to all their customers.

If you just so happen to be one of the lucky ones you could be enjoying a wild ride in Zorbing ball, facing your fear of heights with a of day  abseiling, a full-throttle ride in a monster truck,  a wet and wild day of white water rafting, put the peddle to the metal with some  Super car racing,  Go Karting, Grand Prix  Powerboat racing or taking the ultimate plunge with a Bungee jump.

So what do I have to do to win of these excellent prizes? Well it’s all rather simple. Drink plenty of Pepsi. And enter the last four digits on of the barcode on their website for a chance to win one of 9 prizes on offer.

Not totally convinced? Well we thought you might say that; Pepsi has enlisted the stunning Nuts cover girl Rosie Jones to show you what you could be missing out on.

What do you get when you combine a Monster truck, which stands more than 10 feet tall, develops more than 1,500 horsepower, and can leap over a 727 jet airliner in a single bound. Three friends. And the stunning Rosie Jones? This…

Competition: Work And Play With Dell Inspiron Duo

Jonny — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 15:54:43 +0000

What I’m really excited about at the moment is the hybrid devices which incorporate both laptop and tablet into on neat package. We’re not going to digress into tablet debate 101 but let’s just agree that at least for now laptops aren’t dead, they’re as popular ever and tablets are good but they’re in their infancy. That said; rather than going for one or the other I’d rather be greedy and have both. The combination of touch and type is both fun and useful. Dell know this! and they have created my idea of a perfect laptop which focuses on this dynamic relationship between the laptop and the tablet.

What’s special about the Dell Inspiron Duo is its ten inch HD screen which acts as a standard screen but can also be flipped over where its other side is ready to perform tablet duty. You also get the Dell audio station for crisp sound, a webcam, flash capability and all the things you’d expect from the latest tablet device. Take a look at it below.

In order to market this little beauty Dell has created a fun competition on Facebook for all you music lovers out there. Let’s say the screen side is for Inspiron is for work and the touch is for play. Now which of your favourite tracks would complement each side? In other words, what’s your favourite song to work to and your favourite song to play to? Once you’ve decided you can head over to the Dell Facebook page and choose your two songs for a chance to win a snazzy new Inspiron Duo. Plus you’ll receive a code for £25 (just in case you don’t win one.) (The closing date for the competition is 21st April 2011.)

I had a go and I choose. World In Motion by New Order for play, because I have a distant memory of being incredibly drunk in a kitchen at a house- party sometime last week and stripping off to this classic song. I’m sorry I just shared that with you.

For work I choose a piece from radical composer John Cage. When it comes to working lyrics (usually my favourite part of a song) distract me, thus I turn to ambient, but Brian Eno wasn’t on the list of songs, so I opted for some noise music composition instead. It doesn’t sound the best thing to help concentration does it? But it has no vocals!

So choose your songs and get involved now for your chance to win. Work Play Win on the Facebook page

Create Your Own Music Box and Send it to Your Friends.

Jonny — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 08:48:43 +0000

Remember the Mangum Gold online advert? Well if you don’t, it was basically ‘a promo for a (fictional) film’ and the lead character was you! In other words you uploaded a mugshot of yourself which was superimposed over the lead actor.

It was a great advertising campaign because it was great fun. Thousands of people had a whack, and sent it out into the world of social networking, of course spreading the word about Wall’s latest icy snack in the process.

It’s become a popular little technique and now it’s been taken up by Asus who are advertising their fantastic new SonicMaster laptop (which is specially designed for music fans.)

I had a go on the game which you can find here. This is what I did (using the default pictures in order to preserve my dignity.)

1. Choose my box. I went for Indie Bass, though I was tempted for the Lady Ga Ga inspired Pop Diva box.

2. Uploaded and cropped a photo of my head/face.

3. Recorded a message. My message being the bass riff from Shadowplay by Indie legends Joy Division since I had my bass guitar at hand. The majority of people will likely sing the chorus of a Black Eyed Peas song or shout something highly witty such as ‘You’re mother stinks.’

4. I wrote a message: ‘Remember the good old days.’ And sent it to my old band (who used to cover the aforementioned tune.)

5. Then as most things end these days, the final step was uploading to Facebook.

Go and get involved and have a go. I managed to find a purpose (infecting my old band with nostalgia in the hope of a Jam.) You may also be creative with your ‘Music Box’ or you may just tell your friends their Mother stinks and their Dad wears Noel Edmonds shirts; either or.

And since this is sort of the whole point of all this at the end of the day, here’s a look at what Asus are trying to flog.

The SonicMaster features:

-The World’s first laptop with polished aluminium exterior

-The World’s first dual touchpad located at both sides of the keyboard

-Speakers outside the LED screen to give high-impact audio

-A unique symmetrical design

-Core i7 processor

And a whole host of other top-of-the-range specs. You may think I say this about all laptops but this one really does look absolutely fantastic and I would personally buy it in the blink of an eye.

And I think laptops are on their way out soon to be replaced by tablets, but Asus have very cleverly refused to churn out the same old Laptop until it stops selling and have instead completely reinvented the good old portable machine.

With its core selling point being its emphasis on unheard of laptop sound quality it’s bound to do well because we’ve all had a good old moan about how crap the sound quality is on Laptops at some point or other. To be honest The SonicMaster is well overdue.

Open Planet Competition: How Can Technology Help The Planet?

Jonny — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 11:53:43 +0000

Technology and people combined can do incredible things. This has inspired Sony and WWF to help create the ‘Open Planet Ideas’ project.

The challenge, open to anyone, is to re-use and mash-up existing technologies and products to come up with bright new ideas to tackle environmental issues.

My idea is to use Peer to Peer software to provide instant warning to potential ‘flood victims.’

An expert panel will go through all the concepts and choose the best one for development. Sony will invest engineering and R&D resource to develop the idea into a proof of concept stage and the results will be released to the public domain so they can be used by other parties for environmental good.

So come on, get your thinking cap on and save the planet.

Here is the brief and the homepage if you want more information.

Finally here are a few ideas (using existing Sony technology) to get your imagination running.

So go on, what’s stopping you.

Here are the Open Planet Ideas

Paypal Lets You Win a Year’s Salary

Anra — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 11:50:24 +0000

Online money transfer service Paypal has launched a new campaign and by entering this contest, you may win £40 000. Paypal UK will be paying £40,000 to one lucky PayPal user every week through December 5, 2010. Since, holiday season is around, I cannot help thinking what I would do with my Jackpot of £40,000. Hey, a girl can dream, right! Although a part of winnings (Amen!) will be saved, but the remaining is certainly going to buy some cool gizmos.

I would totally love to get a Telephoto Lens and Tripod for my iPhone. This accessory set will let me zoom my iPhone camera to impressive 8x magnification and Tripod will take care of my shaky hands. No more Blurry photos. The set is available for £29.99 from iwantoneofthose.com. My next pick is for tickling my literary buds. Sony eReader Touch Edition-Silver has everything I want in an e-reader and more. Sony eReader has touchscreen display and a wide reading angle. With good storage and impressive battery life, Sony eReader is my choice gadget for £222.19 from Dabs.

Holidays are not fun until you sit down with a cup of hot tea and watch your favourite movie on your TV. For this purpose, I am going to get a 47 inch LG 47LD450 Plasma TV for £479.95 from Richersounds. I love to write and I love to travel, so having a netbook is a necessity for me. This holiday season, I am going to pamper myself with an HP Mini 210-1003sa netbook. This sturdy netbook comes with Intel Atom Processor and Windows 7 starter OS. Don’t forget to pick one from HP.com for £279.

And last thing on my wishlist is a photo printer. If I am going to click awesome pictures with my new iPhone Telephoto lens and Tripod, then I am going to need a good printer for getting my photographs in physical from. My choice printer would be Epson Stylus Photo Colour Inkjet Printer. With its award-winning UltraChrome Hi-Gloss pigment inks, this beauty is certainly a catch at £263.13 from ebuyer.com.

So, this is my wishlist, what is in yours? With PayPal’s neat new contest, you can make your wishes come true. All you have to do is to shop using PayPal and more you shop, the better are your chances of winning the weekly draw. So, what are you waiting for, just click here, and get started.
