HP Envy 4 shows up for pre-order on HP's China site, priced as low as 5,499 yuan

HP Envy 4 shows up for pre-order on HP's China site, priced as low as 5,499 yuan

A few days ago, HP accidentally listed the unannounced Envy 4 and 6 on a support page within its American website. Fast forward to today, and the company's Chinese site is following in similar footsteps -- though, this time around exposing a couple more details. HP's online shop in China shows a total of six different Envy 4 models, starting with the 1005tx / 1019tx, followed by the mid-level 1004tx / 1021tx and ending with what appears to be the higher-end Ultrabooks: Envy 4-1006tx and 1021tx, which are both priced at 6,299 yuan (around $1,000). As expected, the pair sitting at the bottom of the pile is the lesser-specced of the bunch, revealing an Intel Core i3-2367M CPU, while the top-shelf machine (1021tx) is listed as sporting a Core i5-2467M. Taking into consideration all the recent leaks, it's now only a matter of time before Meg Whitman & Co. make these 14-inch skinny laptops an "official" reality. Until then, those living in China can try and pre-order one of these by pointing your browser toward the source link below.

Google Makes Its Big Video Push With AdWords For Video

adwords for videoA couple of weeks ago, early participants in the new AdWords for Video program gathered at the YouTube offices. The ostensible justification for the meeting was a fancy photo shoot, but YouTube executives also gave a little pep talk, laying out their vision to make video advertising available to small businesses. They even let themselves get a little dreamy, imagining a day when video might become as lucrative for Google as search. So what is AdWords for Video? It integrates video campaigns into the AdWords dashboard, where Google's search and display advertisers are already bidding for and managing their campaign. So small businesses can treat video ads as just another campaign that they're running with Google, rather than something big and scary. It could be particularly useful for the ones that already have a big presence on YouTube that they'd like to promote. Specifically, AdWords for Video allows you to buy Google's TrueView ad units, which can appear in YouTube videos, alongside search results, and in the company's display network.

Researchers out faux product review groups with a lot of math and some help from Google

Google sponsors research that outs faux product review groups, calculates 'spamicity' and more

Ever consulted a crowdsourced review for a product or service before committing your hard-earned funds to the cause? Have you wondered how legit the opinions you read really are? Well, it seems that help is on the way to uncover paid opinion spamming and KIRF reviews. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have released detailed calculations in the report Spotting Fake Reviewer Groups in Consumer Reviews -- an effort aided by a Google Faculty Research Award. Exactly how does this work, you ask? Using the GSRank (Group Spam Rank) algorithm, behaviors of both individuals and a group as a whole are used to gather data on the suspected spammers.

Factors such as content similarity, reviewing products early (to be most effective), ratio of the group size to total reviewers and the number of products the group has been in cahoots on are a few bits of data that go into the analysis. The report states, "Experimental results showed that GSRank significantly outperformed the state-of-the-art supervised classification, regression, and learning to rank algorithms." Here's to hoping this research gets wrapped into a nice software application, but for now, review mods may want to brush up on their advanced math skills. If you're curious about the full explanation, hit the source link for the full-text PDF.

Diddy Tops Forbes Richest Hip-Hop Artists List

Diddy has $550 million, followed by Jay-Z with $460 mill.
By Gil Kaufman

Forget a milli, Diddy is working on a billi.

The rapper, label mogul and celebrity endorser is inching closer to being rap's first billion-dollar man according to the Forbes list of hip-hop's wealthiest artists. The finance magazine's "Forbes Five" short list of the richest rappers were already collectively worth over $1 billion.

Diddy took the top spot with an estimated net worth of $550 million, which has been boosted lately by his deal with Ciroc vodka, which reportedly pays him in the double-digit millions thanks to his share of the profits from sales, which have spiked over the last year by 122 percent.

As a bonus, Diddy will earn a nine-figure payday if the brand is ever sold to another company.

Diddy's fortune is also fed by his stakes in the Sean John and Enyce clothing lines, as well as the Blue Flame marketing firm, his Bad Boy record label and pieces of a number of tech startups. But the magazine said his most recent deal is the one that could push him into the billionaire boys club. The mogul's deal with Comcast to launch the Revolt cable channel — which he owns outright — in 2013 might be worth low-to-mid nine figures in the next few years.

His pal Jay-Z is the next man up at an estimated $460 million. One of the few on the list who still puts out albums and tours, Jay continues to earn money from his music career, as well as the proceeds from the $204 million sale of his Rocawear clothing label in 2007. He pocketed plenty of change when he signed a $150 million deal with Live Nation in 2008 and gets added revenue from his stakes in the New Jersey Nets, his 40/40 club chain, the ad firm Translation and cosmetics company Carol's Daughter.

"Who's going to be hip-hop's first billionaire is still to be determined," said ad man Steve Stoute, who founded and co-owns Translation with Jay-Z. "But clearly Jay and Puffy are far and away positioned to surpass that."

Third on the list is the rap icon who recently blew some minds by bringing back Tupac as a hologram
 at Coachella, Dr. Dre.

The legendary beat-maker and rapper has an estimated fortune of $270 million, doubling since last year thanks to the $300 million cellphone maker HTC paid to buy a 51 percent stake in his Beats Electronic business. Sources told the magazine that both Dre and partner Interscope boss Jimmy Iovine owned one-third of the company before the deal, putting Dre's haul at $85 million after taxes, with his remaining stake worth around $100 million.

Cash Money Records co-founder Birdman earned the #4 slot with an estimated $125 million fortune, mostly derived from the smash success of such artist as Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne. He could creep up later this year when Cash Money's deal with Universal is up and a bidding war could erupt over the right to distribute the label's music.

"One of my motivations in life is to be a billionaire," said Birdman. "We're going to keep working hard until we get our brand to be as big as possible. That's the goal in life, that's what I live for."

Business-savvy rapper 50 Cent rounds out the list at #5 with an estimated fortune of $110 million. He earned $100 million one the sale of his part of Vitaminwater in 2007 and he still rakes in tens of millions a year from record sales, touring and clothing, as well as acting jobs, 50-themed video games, shoes, books and a new headphone line.

Though the top five all have a shot at reaching the billion mark, with the recent $1 billion sale of Instagram inspired Stoute to say that it may not be Diddy or Jigga who reach the mountaintop first. "You don't necessarily know, given what a guy like Kanye or will.i.am is capable of doing," said Stoute. "In a world where people are creating applications that sell for a billion dollars, you never know who's going to come out of left field."

Google Drive Lives: Google Drive App Found

jpgIf you needed any more proof that Google Drive was alive, look no further than this screenshot of the app. I've been able to download and run the app and it is currently idle, sitting quietly in the corner, unable to connect to the mothership. The version we were given is 1.0.2891 and seems to run without issue. I was able to log in using my Gmail account and I suppose I'll have to wait to play with it further. It currently throws an error stating that "Google Drive is not yet enabled for your account."

Getting A Consultation From A Reliable Optometrist | Article Directory

Whenever you need eye care, you need to consult a Hoboken optometrist. It?s important that you go to a reliable health care professional because there?s no denying how important your vision is. There are certain things you should look for in such specialist to ensure that you?re getting the best type of caring for your eyes.

But before that, let?s take a look at what this Hoboken eye doctor can carry out. Such person is licensed to examine and diagnose certain diseases involving the eyes, such as glaucoma, cataracts and those concerning the retina. He or she may also diagnose systemic conditions like hypertension and diabetes, both of which can have an impact on the vision. Rehabilitation and prescription of medications are also performed.

Such professional is known to prescribe contact lenses and eyeglasses Hoboken locals with vision problems should be wearing. After carrying out some tests, a person may be recommended to wear these types of medical devices. Some of these vision problems involved are astigmatism, presbyopia, myopia and hyperopia.

But this specialist may not be able to perform complex surgical procedures. Such practice is done by an ophthalmologist, another health care professional specializing on the eyes and vision. However, they?re allowed to perform minor ones, such as removal of foreign body in the eyes.

When searching for such doctor to consult, there are some things to bear in mind. He or she must be someone highly qualified. Check that the professional has completed the necessary training and possesses a license. This may be verified by getting in touch with the agency which issues it, the local state board of optometry.

Many are capable of offering a broad range of eye care services. However, some may focus on a few areas only, thus providing limited service. In case you know what your eye problem is, it?s a wise idea to consult someone who specializes on it. The specialist gets constant practice by treating the same problems regularly. Ask about being informed with the latest in the field by constantly undergoing education or training.

The best way to look for a Hoboken optometrist is by getting the recommendations of friends, colleagues and relatives. Approach those who are wearing prescription contacts or eyeglasses, or suffering from an eye condition. It?s often via word of mouth that information about a good doctor is spread. The person who gives a recommendation can also testify on the professional?s expertise based on experience.

Only ten spots will be open, twelve are probably killed off initially, and two will be mine for moving the game along. ^-^ Its a mod I thought would help keep things more orderly! Even ten seems like a lot, though. But people should be dieing fairly quickly. BWAHAHAHA.

Sorry, I don't reserve. Too many people who reserve and then flee the Earth as we know it. But I won't check the site again until probably tomorrow around three-ish and if I see more than you wanting that spot, Ill go ahead and give it to you. Is that kind of reserving? Im not sure. o.o
