If you have not heard about the iPhone 4G,please do a search on iPhone 4G now.

The leaked story of iPhone 4G was first brought to open by Gizmodo, one of the popular technology or gadget website.

It was said that one of Apple’s employee who had the iPhone 4 prototype lost it one night, and was then picked up by someone else who later sold to Gizmodo for $5000.

$5000 is more than worth for the more than 14 million visits to the Gizmodo’s website since 19th April 2010 – when the first story of iPhone 4G was released.

The average of visits per day before that was around 3 million.

This is Apple’s Next iPhone, is the killer story that also brings about legal issues to Gizmodo.

Currently, Gizmodo is being investigated and comments are not allowed in the related blogposts of this particular issue.

Even then, it brought more traffic than ever, and we can see that there was another spike when the house of Jason Chen(the editor of Gizmodo) was raided and a list of items were seized.

Sometimes, it pays to have a scandal. What say you?

After a couple of book reviews, let me now present to you my very own book cover.

Yes, only the book cover.
I wouldn’t reject the idea of writing a book, but not exactly right now.

I recently read a Dummies ebook titled HPC for Dummies. It was just a marketing gimmick, making it looked like a Dummies series book as the ebook was actually more like an indirect sales material instead of the usual for Dummies book.
That’s a fairly effective Internet Marketing to me, but not really good for long term though. I might not be downloading their future ebooks anymore. What do you think?

Anyway, that ebook brought me the idea of looking for a Dummies template and a book cover generator.
Couldn’t really find one as near as the actual, but this online Dummies book cover generator is quite cool if you like mine.

I’m pretty sure everybody knows about Susan Boyle, who turned from a nobody to a huge somebody, after appearing in the TV programme Britain’s Got Talent on 11 April 2009 and shot to fame.

Her performance led to great international media and of course the Internet and YouTube response.

In fact, any budding singers or ambitioned singers should look into spreading their gigs on the Internet, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, blog etc on top of existing performances in concerts, cafes etc.

It doesn’t matter where you’re from even if you only perform at home, the internet is a cheap and valuable way to fame.

Search for “Janice and Sonia”, by the time you typed ‘Jani’, the suggestion would have appeared.

Janice and Sonia are Australian twins and according to their Facebook fan page, it was stated they are still unsigned. I have no doubt they will be easily picked up as signed singers if they wanted to.

And then there’s this cute girl with her self recorded singing video spreading in Facebook, which turns out to be one Yu Kiu, Ava (Bianca) from Hong Kong.

She is a new singer in 2009 who launched a Sabah shot album back in Hong Kong.

And then back to local front, we have Malaysian singer-songwriter Zee Avi who had her debut album produced by a US record company, and hit the charts at #130 US Billboard Hot 200 Chart and #2 US Billboard Top Heatseekers Chart, and sold 6,000 copies in the United States in its first 2 weeks of release(as of June 9, 2009) according to Wikipedia.

How did she pulled that off?
Avi posted a video of her first song on YouTube in September 2007.

Now you think that’s easy? Don’t get too excited first.
It does look to me that most of the success stories are women in the first place, looks nice and sings well.

Many can try, but I’m not sure if they’ll succeed.

We’ll see their video views on YouTube. 🙂
