Best Wishes for 2006 + Thanks

2005 has been an interesting year for Ployer.com - a few highs & lots of lows.. Lol.

I want to thank the 3 million unique visitors that have visited the site over the past year. Special thanks to the guys who bookmarked or check in regularly. Thanks to the folks who have sent products over for review or requested a review.

On the topic on Traffic

I recently upgraded to Mt 3.2 with the upgrade I used raw templates for about 20 days. I watched my traffic dip from 8k uniques per day down to 4,500k per day. While it is true that I have not been up to speed, not breaking stories, not getting links ...lol ... let me stop


In 2005 I did 3900 stories. received 5 comments.

Ployer's Most Searched Term "Ployer" - I kid - Nintendo Revolution


I see great things for ployer.com in 2006. We have the Ployer Minis launching shortly. Hopefully 2006 will see a refresh in innovation for gadgets.

I am so bored with the same crap being recycled with one new feature. Apple I see you.....







Nintendo Revolution Price less than $299

In an interview with Yahoo Japan Nintendo’s President Satoru Iwata hinted that the price of the Nintendo Revolution console will be less than $299, which is the cost of the Xbox 360's standard package reports the inq

While this is not a confirmation of that $149 price being throw around..... , its a start in that direction







Intel refresh

As part of re-branding strategy, chip maker Intel Corp. is launching a new corporate and brand identity that will include a re-worked company logo, a change in the ubiquitous "Intel Inside" stickers, and a shift from the Pentium name for its micro-processors.

Intel's image change, to coincide with next week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, is part of an effort by new Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini to push Intel into home entertainment. The company, whose processors run more than 80 percent of personal computers, is trying to gain a foothold in the consumer market to counter slowing growth in PC chips.

``Intel has been struggling to find a way out of PCs for the last six or seven years,'' said Eric Ross, an analyst at ThinkEquity Partners in New York, who rates the stock ``buy'' and doesn't own it reports Bloomberg. ``I never dreamed they'd drop `Intel Inside.' Their marketing has been exceptionally successful.''

The change in Intel's brand is the first step in a $2.5 billion marketing campaign, BusinessWeek reported earlier.

Intel also plans to introduce a new chip, which will be called ``Core,'' to complement its Centrino laptop and Viiv home entertainment components.

Samuel B Jones, chief investment officer at Trillium Asset Management, a leading Intel shareholder, said: “I understand why Intel would want people to understand that their focus is not just on PCs, but why abandon the existing branding? They have huge recognition globally and I’m not sure they need to go this far.”







PlayStation graffiti ads drama

Last night, while strolling through Christopher in New York, I came across some slutty ads for Sony's Playstation Portable, AKA the PSP.

The black-on-white graffiti shows cartoon characters riding the Playstation like a skateboard, licking it like a lollipop or cranking it like a Jack-in-the-box.

Like Sony, I thought it was pretty cool, others disagree

More PSP ad drama







Xbox 360 Gets Chilled

CoolIT Systems Inc.has announced plans to show off a liquid-cooled Xbox 360 in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show from Jan. 4 – 8, 2006.

The Microsoft Xbox 360 has been the topic of much discussion since its release on Nov. 22, 2005. Aside from its limited supply, many headlines have been about problems related to the excessive thermal output of Microsoft’s latest gaming console product.

To provide gaming consumers with a high performance option, CoolIT Systems touts the retrofit product that will transform the stock forced air cooling system with a state-of-the-art liquid-chilled system that employs the exclusive MTEC technology pioneered by CoolIT Systems.

Songbird : Open Source Music Player

Digital-music veteran Rob Lord and a four other really cool people, have started Pioneers of the Inevitable, a new open-source startup.

Lord's company is building a piece of digital-music software called "Songbird," based on much of the same underlying open-source technology as the Firefox Web browser reports CNet.

Songbird programmers want to create music-playing software that will work naturally with the growing number of music sites and services on the Web, instead of being focused on songs on a computer's hard drive.


Songbird is a complete desktop media player or "jukebox" with a uniquely open approach to Internet digital media network services.

Songbird is developed by Pioneers of the Inevitable, a small, chirpy team of digital media innovators whose previous incubations include the Winamp 5 and Y! Music Engine media players and Muse.Net, a location-independent digital media network service acquired by Yahoo!.
