Case Crown’s Sausage iPhone Stylus
Remember waaaay back in February we wrote about the Koreans using sausages as styluses for their iPhones? Well case and accessory maker Case Crown has gone ahead and found a suitable snack sausage for use as a stylus and is selling it for 99 cents a pop. Is this a stupid yet slick marketing gimmick to get us write about Case Crown? Yes. Did it work? Yes.

”’5. Enable ‘System – SEF’ plugin”’

This plugin adds SEF support to links in your Joomla articles. It operates directly on the HTML and does not require a special tag.

Personally, for my own Joomla! sites, I perform all 5 steps. I consider steps 1, 2 and 5 as required, steps 3 and 4 as optional for good SEO. Unless someone provides a compelling reason, I think steps 3 and 4 are for cosmetics only and don’t greatly affect search engine optimization.

Finally, I’d like to make the following recommendation: Take control of your search engine relevance by specifying a Title Alias for all your articles. I alluded to this in step 2. By doing this, you get to choose exactly what appears in the SEF-optimized URL. I suggest using alphanumeric characters (no special characters or punctuation marks) with hyphens as separators. For example, joomla-overview is a good title alias.

Friends at last! For what greater enemy does a vase have than a baseball? Maybe a cat. But that’s not important right now, because this is the “VaseBall!” In fact it has little to do with baseball at all, and a lot more to do with water and magnets. As you’re soon to see, the base of this vase and the top of the base of the vase each have magnets. When the water in the vase is too low, the lightness and the opposites in the poles make the ball lift!
Makes sense? Opposite poles in the magnets, too powerful for the weight of the ball, makes the ball lift from the ground. When water is added, the weight becomes greater than the power of the magnets.
As the designer Min Seok Song says, the magnets act as an “intermediary in communication between human in plant.” How very poetic and neat!

Those who stay in apartments crave for spacious bungalows and those who live in landscaped acres dread the maintenance! So what really is the ideal size for a home? The multi-storey high-rises offer many titillating features and let’s not even get into their crazy architectural style. Offices, museums, theaters even live gardens in the middle of the 100th floor; we can expect all of this from modern architects. Till you find your ideal space to call home, office, whatever….here’s a recap of Fifteen Visually Stunning Architectural Delights for the future!
15) New Orleans Arcology Habitat or NOAH by E. Kevin Schopfer AIA, RIBA & Tangram 3DS; Kittery, ME
NOAH proposes to be a habitat for 40,000 residents who can benefit from the planned residential units, school system, commercial, retail, hotels, casinos, parking, and public works facilities. Its triangle shape is most captivating and literally stands out on the waterfront. Quite a design challenge actually, this place needs to overcome both the physical and psychological damages of recurring severe weather patterns.
14) Eko by 10 Raisons Architects
Critics may pan it for getting inspired by the romantic Eiffel Tower, but the giant Eko looks like a tower with webs on the side. It boasts of 24 floors, 8500 Square meters of Nano Solar, 350 palms, a bar, a library and a big exhibition hall and is proposed as a futuristic housing high-rise for Zaabeel Park, City Center in Dubai.
13) Campus Center for Miami Dade College by Oppenheim Architects
If Polo is the mint with a hole, then the Miami Dade College is a Super Building Campus Center for Miami Dade College is the architectural version of it. The high rise combines apartments, offices, educational facilities, and a lot of space for art exhibition. It’s supposed to get completed in the next two years time, can anyone in Miami confirm this?
12) Guggenheim Hermitage Museum by Zaha Hadid
Conceptualized as a floating structure above the fluid landscape in Vilnius, Lithuania, the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum is the renowned firm Zaha Hadid Architects’ brainchild. Featuring glossy, metallic surfaces, this building is a visual treat for true connoisseurs.
11) Klein Bottle House by McBride Charles Ryan
The “Klein Bottle” is a non-orientable surface, i.e., a surface (a two-dimensionaltopological space) with no distinction between the “inside” and “outside” surfaces. By constantly challenging our sense of perception, depth, linear orientation, interior/exterior space and pretty much any notion of what a dwelling should look like, the architects have successfully created a space that is surprisingly inviting and warm.
10) Torre Bicentenario by Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA)
Resembling 2 inverted pyramids bridged by a lobby where shuttles and elevators pass thru, the Torre Bicentenario is slated become the tallest building in Latin America. Completion is scheduled for this year to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Mexico’s Independence. Two voids penetrate the building at its widest point providing ventilation and natural light.
9) Dancing Towers by Zaha Hadid
With the spate of earthquakes hitting our foundations this year, the thought of dancing towers is not so appealing. Keeping aside such fears, these three towers are inter-twinned to share programmatic elements and rotate to maximize the views from the site towards the creek and neighboring developments. Another visual treat that defies common norms.
8 ) Landmark Building of Szervita Square by Zaha Hadid
Another Zaha Hadid gem that looks to mesmerize us with soft curves and defining structure.
7) The Cube at Dubai Sports City
When we see ambitious projects like The Palm and The Cube here, we can totally understand why Dubai went under the real-estate scare recently. Is proposed to be a five-star condo hotel, an eye catcher at the Dubai Sports City.
6) Seoul Commune 2026 by Mass Studies
When you want to cite an example of how to marry nature with tall buildings, please refer the Seoul Commune 2026. It’s the case where you can negate the concrete jungle effect with a little help from Mother Nature!
5) Expocenter Project by Zaha Hadid
Yes Zaha Hadid is a staple at YD, what can we say…phenomenal works do warrant appreciation and here’s another feather in the Hadid cap! The Expocenter Project offers Moscow city a new exposition venue, hotel, and residential development. Tall and long beautifully combined.
4) Millennium Tower World Business Center (WBCB) in Busan by Asymptote
Asymptote won the contract to build this tower based on its ground breaking design of three separate tapered towers rising out of a robust and powerful base. This one can be filed under sculptural beauty.
3) Trump International Hotel and Tower Dubai by Nakheel & Atkins
With Trump attached to any property you can expect sheer extravaganza and nothing else! Likewise this 60-storey building features two asymmetrical halves forming a gateway to the Palm Islands of Jumeirah. The stainless steel, glass and stone faded arch-like structure includes a 300-room five-star hotel, 400 residential apartments, boutique offices, retail, gym and spa, restaurants and of course, access to private beaches.
2) Gateway Building for Ras Al-Khaimah by Snohetta
Like an oasis in the hot arid desert, the Gateway Building for Ras Al-Khaimah greets you with the magic and charm of the Arabs. A gateway to the city Ras Al-Khaimah, expect a Congress Center, Exhibition Halls, Shopping Center, and elite hotels in this complex.
1) Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Centre by Zaha Hadid
Zaha Hadid Architects does it once again with the spectacular Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Center. Fluid lines that transcend and meander through spaces to actually construct a Performing Arts Center! Its been described as a sculptural form that emerges from a linear intersection of pedestrian paths within the cultural district, gradually developing into a growing organism that sprouts a network of successive branches.

Ah! Only if Harry Potter could use this for Quidditch, but a rounded broom won’t help him fly higher or faster. It will merely help him catch all the cobwebs and dust from his quarters in the Gryffindor dorm. Now that the House Elves like Dobby have Hermione’s support… it’s the Eiffel Broom, as the next gift for Harry and Ron!

News organizations around the world are reporting that both the European Union and the U.S. Department of Justice have approved the Microsoft-Yahoo! search-advertising deal.

When working on Joomla websites it is often that people would prefer it to be able to provide a more Wordpress like blog feel when it is being used as a blog, one of these things is the widgets panel in the sidebar. Tag clouds are often used to give a bump in SEO and also to help the user get a good idea of what content the website contains. When looking through the joomla extensions I came across a few half-hearted attempts at tag clouds which involved you manually turning off/on words you wouldn’t want in the cloud.
I have now made my very own Tag Cloud which albeit is in beta but will go through your Joomla content (and is also compatible with JComments, Virtuemart Products, and CCBoard posts) and automatically generates a tag cloud based on your content. I am aware people will want content from other components, so if you want one adding then please ask in the comments below or on my website and I will do my best. I have made the code simple as well so if you don’t mind changing the PHP in the module then it will be easy to copy and paste a few lines to add other components to the content list in the tag cloud.
FEATURES
* Supports Articles, VirtueMart Products, JComment comments, and ccBoard posts.
* Allows exclusion of words, on-top of the included extensive list of ‘common’ words.
* Signature of author is turned on by default, you can disable this in module manager.
* Font size variation is allowed, i.e. most popular is 25px, least is 10px
* Limit the amount of tags in the cloud, this defaults to 25.
* Developed on PHP 5.2.X, please inform me of problems.
THIS PRODUCT IS IN BETA ALTHOUGH EXTENSIVE TESTING HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON MY SERVER SETUP.
