James Bond to ditch tuxedo

Posted on 19th March 2006 by graz27

Have to say after reading that the new Bond was going be blonde, then he will ditch his Aston Martin for a Ford Mondeo, and now wont be wearing a familar Tux in the next film as they want a trendy image, you do wonder if any of these people involved in James Bond have ever read the Ian Fleminings books?

I still believe like many that Pierce Bronson was a awesome Bond and they were mad to drop someone who had the perfect look and feel of James Bond.

To dump him and replace him with this trendy update is going to back fire I am sure and this next film has turkey written all over it.

Who knows maybe another change is to drop his gun for a feather duster 😉

One to miss for sure when its released.

Honda’s Robot (ASIMO)

Posted on 17th March 2006 by graz27

The Honda robot (ASIMO) still amazes me, if you have never heard or seen this amazing technology from Honda, you must go to this web site and check out the pics and especially the video’s they have on there.

The way this Robot moves, walks runs etc never ceases to amaze the hell out of me, and boy would I love to be around in another 100 years time, as can you imagine just how much further this will have moved on by then!

To see this machine run , walk up stairs etc on its own is stunning 🙂

What a totally amazing job it must be working on a project like that!

Go there and watch and see the future!

F1 in Bahrain

Posted on 17th March 2006 by graz27

Well, I was looking forward to the new season and more so as it was going have a new qualifying session and also tyre changes in the race again! 🙂

I found last years racing a bore to be honest, and hated that stupid 1 lap qualifying.

But this year got off well, the new format of the qualifying season was much better, although the last session seems pretty pointless to me and for sure wont go down too well with the green’s, cars just driving around to burn off as much fuel as possible before doing there fast lap.

Still it was intresting to watch for the most part and the actual race was pretty neat too! 🙂

Maybe its because Michael Schumacher is now 37 and although still a great driver, I wanted him to win as the underdog to the younger breed 😉

But hats off to Renault, they drove a great race apart from the failure of there other car.

If Jenson Button had not had probs on the start, who knows what the outcome would have been?

That Honda is a powerful car and with Jenson in it, it just has to have a great year and hopefully a win from him for us Brits 😉

Still great weekend of racing and looking forward to the upcoming one next weekend in Sepang.

See you there 🙂

Windows Vista

Posted on 17th March 2006 by graz27

Well come October or November or even December this year, depending on who you believe, Microsoft will launch it’s replacement for Windows XP to the world.

From being lucky enough to test the beta versions out, its plain to see a lot of machines will struggle to run this with all the options on.

But to be fair, it would be pretty silly if Microsoft to make a new operating system that would run on older systems as well as the new ones coming out.

As always we must move forward!

For sure, from first impressions it will be much more secure and hopefully that will mean more people can get on with there surfing and emailing without so much of the spam and pop up ad’s that are out in full force these days, and in turn one would hope to see less machines fall foul of this.

With the success AppleMac is having these days with its easy to use interface, I do wonder if Vista is just a tad complicated for mr/mrs home user? But as always its unfair to compare until Microsoft ships its final version.

But for sure, Vista is a step up and I am sure most will want to buy a copy or get a new machine with it on , when it ships.

My feeling is this could well be the last real version of windows , as the future will surely go towards a era where you have your internet and tv viewing in some all in one multimedia tv box.

Intresting times ahead for sure!

Take care all….

Graham
