Now iPhone comes with 3G function, while other famous mobile manufacturer like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorolla and many more had developed the 3G technology long time before iPhone has, don’t you think it’s already too late?? Naahh! I don’t think so, when talking about Apple technology, nothing is behind time. Those are just a mobile phone while iPhone is everything you need for better and faster 3G wireless technology for surfing, email downloads, map directions, song downloads also your favourite video even while you’re on a call.

With 2.4 x faster than EDGE connection, iPhone 3G uses a technology protocol called HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) to download data fast over UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) networks.

CANON has announced their newest DSLR model, CANON EOS 1000D or also known as REBEL XS or they call it in Japan as Canon EOS Kiss Digital F. EOS 1000D comes with 10 megapixels and powered by DIGIC III image processor which will bring a wide choice of affordable good SLR in the market.

Sensor : 10.1 million effective pixels
Image Size : 4888 x 2592(L) / 2816 x 1880(M) / 1936 x 1288(S)

Price : Body only - €549 / Kit - €649 (with 18-55mm IS lens)

Comparing to the previous model of EOS 450D which has been introduced early this year, this 1000D a lot more heavier and that’s why I think it’s slightly cheaper. Beside, 1000D comes with 2.5 size of LCD Monitor compare to 3″ for EOS 450D, it only has 7 point CMOS sensor for Auto focus function, that’s pity. Even though the price is quiet cheap, I still go for EOS 450D for affordable type of DSLR.

How you define street art?.. Street art is an art of something unique + creative which usually developed in open public areas in order to get attention from people who pass by the area or merely showing of a message to the public through the artwork itself. Below are some of the creative piece from one of street artist from England, Banksy. Check out how he combines his art to the surround environment to become such a creative piece.

I like this one

and this one is my favourite..

I really admire his work which is super unique and Banksy is one of among the other talented street artist out there, for example like the famous Julian Beever and another one here.
