I had an idea a number of years ago on how to help stop automated spam emails.  Later I found that someone already had that idea, but later I found a better idea.  Yesterday, I posted the idea on a new site that a person on CodeProject.com pointed out to me called CambrainHouse.  This site allows you to list your ideas and if they are popular enough, they are suppose to around for people around the globe to build your project and then they market it giving you a royalty for coming up with the idea.  This is similar to a Co-op idea I had a few years ago that I am still toying with every now and then.

Anyway, I posted an idea to test the waters.  They allow you to direct people to your idea to vote on it.  Yep, I am asking you to visit there site and cast you vote for my idea.  Lets give it a go and see what happens.  Sure would love to see this anti-spam tool come to fruition!

Here is the link to cast your vote:

Panasonic announced the world's largest HD Plasma TV measuring in at 103 diagonal inches.  Finally, a screen large enough to be called “big screen”.  The cose is a bit much though at $70k USD -- OUCH!

Wow!  AMD (chip manufacture) made a deal to purchase ATI Technologies Inc, one of th top graphics and chip set manufactures for a cool $5.4 billion in cash and stock in help against Intel.  That is good news to me as I have always thought of ATI as lacking in dependability as far as drivers, which should be better in the hands of AMD.

It is about time!  Microsoft has finally annouced it will put out a product to counter the iPod and has named it Zune!  There are rumors though that Zune will be more than just a media player.

As of today, there is not a lot of information available, but you might look at:
