How to find Salma Hayek Pictures Online? by Varughese Rajan
In recent years, many Latino babes have made it big in Hollywood. The biggest of them has to be Salma Hayek Jiminez. She was born in mexico, who later moved to Texas to her aunt's place. Salma Hayek started her career in the title role in Teresa in Mexican Television. But she was destined to do big things in the biggest of film field - Hollywood.
Salma Hayek entry into Hollywood was a Majestic one. She starred opposite Antonio Banderas in Desperado. Hollywood movie fans were entertained heavily by the nude show of Salma Hayek. She was simply outstanding as the sexy Librarian who takes care of the Hero when he is injured. The scenes where the hero teaches her to play Guitar is the most romantic and sexy scenes of Hollywood.
Salma's best acting display came in the Frida and Bandidas. She was nominated for Oscar in Frida. But my favourite film of hers is Bandidas. It is not any great movie, but the presence of Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek makes it exploding. More over, there were rumours that both were engaged in a lesbian relationship at that time. penelope has denied it many times, but the way they behave when they are together suggest, they may be hiding their feeling. Whatever they both make a great couple.
Finding Salma Hayek pictures is very tough. You go for a search in google you will find thousands of site. But most of them are made for google sites and serves you with nothing. I recently found one site actresssnaps.com, they keep updating her recent pictures. The owner is a big fan of Salma Hayek and keeps updating her pictures every now and then. You can find the latest pictures of her from Cannes, Fight Cancer Gala etc. Salma Hayek has a penchant of displaying her beautiful cleavage in public, she really know what her fans need. If you like to see those pictures this is the place.

The Future of Video Games
by: Daniel Punch
I’ve recently been thinking about where video games could be going in the future. I’m hoping to work in the game industry one day after I’ve finished university study and I’ve been wondering about it a lot. What do I want to see happen in the future? Well I may not have too many answers right now, but I have come up with a few ideas that I think may come into ‘play’ in the not too distant future.
Firstly forget Virtual Reality, as we know it. They’ve tried VR goggles and they made a lot of people sick in doing so. It’s probably never going to work very well in its current form. They’re still around and you can still buy them but they really don’t seem to be taking off. It will probably take a lot to get people totally immersed and involved in a new form of game play. It’s threatening to lose touch with the outside world and the people around you aren’t going to appreciate it much either. The Sci-fi neural implants are also both a long way off and not likely to be accepted by a majority of the general populace without some severe marketing and luck. I for one am not planning on going through brain surgery just to have a computer attached to my head. In fact I never want anyone to able to plug into my brain.
A technology that was brought to my attention by a zealous presenter at the local ‘Science and Technology Centre’ (a sort of science museum aimed at making science fun for children and juvenile adults such as yours truly) is that of ‘Augmented Reality’. Augmented Reality is essentially the overlaying of virtual elements onto the real world, such as a pair of transparent glasses that can display certain elements over the top of what is actually there. I agree with the presenter in that this could indeed have some awesome potential. Forget all the socially beneficial applications such as workmen being able to view underground pipes before digging, think about it from a games point of view. This technology could provide gamers with the ability to run around looking like complete idiots shooting at things that aren’t actually there and that no one else can see, kind of like in the film ‘They Live!’ The upside to this is that it would be a lot of fun. A group of people from the University of South Australia created the ‘ARQuake’ project, http://wearables.unisa.edu.au/projects/ARQuake/www/, merging the classic shooter Quake with this Augmented Reality technology. Again, this technology may not ever become overly popular, but it would be entertaining to play with.
Technology has driven the games industry for a long time with new games always trying to keep one step ahead of the competition. It started way back at the dawn of technology and it continues to this day. 2D graphics gave way to 3D and 3D is becoming ever better. Graphics are starting to lose the ability to impress like they once did. The step between Quake 2 and 3 was amazing, but DOOM 3 while being visually very impressive isn’t leaps and bounds ahead of its competitors in the same way new games used to be. 2D graphics encountered a similar problem; there comes a point where you just can’t do much more with graphics technology. It is this that turns graphics from striving for technological achievement to becoming art. It is my hope that we will start turning away from tech demos and return to game play and making great entertainment. Games such as Zelda: The Wind Waker or The Sims that strive to show greater depth of character through simplifying the game enough to portray emotions will hopefully become more common (and more fun… but that’s just one person’s view…). Technology plays a certain part in the conveying of emotions and story but it’s quite hard to focus on everything at once. When technology is easier and less essential to game sales we’ll hopefully see an increase in games that cast a lasting impression.
Somewhat unfortunately the rise of the ‘Casual Gamer’ will probably lead to more simplistic games being released. While personally I would love to see depth of story and characters, there are a significant number of players out there who want to pick up a game for twenty minutes or so, have a bit of fun, and then put it down until another time. These gamers are generally less interested in the latest greatest technology and more interested in a ‘fast food’ kind of entertainment that satisfies the moment, despite the lack of quality or the lasting effects. Hopefully the two game types can co-exist peacefully although recently it has been seen that some developers are cutting down on some of the planned depth of a title in order to accommodate the more casual gamer.
As technology pushes forwards boundaries are slowly being broken down between systems. We saw the Bleemcast a few years back enabling the running of Playstation games on the Dreamcast, and the PC is able to run almost anything given the right emulation software. Consoles are able to emulate other consoles and new consoles are being announced that promise the ability to play PC games. The Xbox 2 is reported to have a model in planning that comes in a PC case and with the ability to run both PC software and Xbox software. Macs can emulate Windows software and vice-versa. We’ll probably start seeing less of a distinction between consoles and PCs as the price of technology continues to drop and consoles continue to become more and more powerful and able to compete with the more expensive computers. Ideally we’ll see a single platform come into prominence so that everything can be run without purchasing a copious number of different machines, although that does have a downside in that it can establish a monopoly for one particular company.
The technology price drop and increase in power has also lead to more powerful hand-held machines than before. Real games, not just simple toys are now available for the portable market. The advent of PDAs and mobile phones with the ability to play games raises awareness of portable gaming and new competitors are starting to get in on the field that was once primarily dominated by Nintendo’s GameBoy. There is a new product, the gp32, that can run many different emulators and hence, many different system’s games (including some PC games).
I can’t say for sure what’s going to happen but these are just a few ideas that I’ve had recently. Hopefully the games industry will continue to strive towards new heights with new and interesting game play, stories, characters and ideas. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in the next few years.

Popular phone models that support MP3 ring tonesth
By: Grigoriy Anoshenko
Over the years with the way the mobile phone industry has evolved across the globe, the fine line between a mandate and a feature in a mobile phone has become blurred. Surely, who would say that a 1.3 mp camera is a feature anymore or for that matter even a radio? Phone book memories are supposed to be large. It is a mandate, not really a feature. And with technological upgradation of existing mandates to peg them as unique features having a strong selling proposition, it is no wonder that consumers are making the most of this scuffle between leading manufacturers.
With the craze of mobilizing music having caught on with a large section of the mobile phone users market, manufacturers are bundling their handsets with software's compatible with a variety of sound formats such as MP3, WAV, WMA, et al. Experts say that consumers prefer to have an MP3 ring tone player on their mobile phones as compared to a music playing software or even a video recorder. This could probably be the insight behind Motorola's RAZR V3. This super – slim phone has a basic camera, MP3 ring tone player, and Bluetooth connectivity, all packed neatly into a very stylish looking handset. Although it can playback video MPEG 4 with sound, it does not have the more advanced features such as memory card, music player, or even a video recorder. Yet, it is doing very well for itself. Launched towards the end of 2004, the RAZR V3 is still a head turner being really thin at 13.9mm and looking extremely suave because of the anodized aluminum finish. This keeps the handset lightweight and strong at the same time protecting it from the wear and tear of everyday use. The Motorola RAZR V3 is a steal for someone looking for basic features packaged into a high – end looking handset.
The Samsung D500 with its 1.3 mp camera, and, video recording and messaging, bundles MP3 ring tone playing software as well. This large display screen gadget has Bluetooth connectivity along with a USB cable port. Industry experts say that this has been one of Samsung's best offering to the market and pegged the product as a complete entertainment package. The D500 has Java embedded games and the integrated hands free speakerphone plays good quality songs through the MP3 player.
The Sony Ericsson series of W phones meaning WALKMAN phones took the market by storm. One of the improvised and therefore better versions of this series the W890i is 10 mm thick, and weighing only 78 g, still looks very attractive. The featherweight look and feel does not mean that there is a compromise on the offering. The WALKMAN plays MP3 and other format tracks, the sound of which can be boosted through the Bluetooth stereo provided or just by plugging in authentic Sony ear phones to the proprietary jack. This also means that the MP3 ring tones are played at a better quality of sound. This phone comes with SensMe software installed that allows the user to create a playlist based on the tempo and mood of the songs. Although it has a 3.2 mp camera, the absence of LED flash and auto focus restricts the photographic output produced. However, as analysts defend, this phone is not meant to substitute one's need for a camera as much as it is meant to fulfill one's need for a music player whilst on the move.
Although most of Nokia's handsets now have MP3 ring tone player capabilities, the 6300, according to industry reports, is one of the top favourites. The stainless steel finish along with good multimedia capabilities makes this handset a classical piece for someone who is looking at getting good value for their money.
