This is the new Polo Blue Motion, with gas prices heading for the statosphere, Volkswagen offers an interesting alternative for people wanting hybrid-like efficiency at a fraction of the price. You'll find it in Belgium with a good prize reduction (about 2000 euros reduction of the total prize !). If you want some numbers : maximum speed is 176 km/h and this car go from 0 to 100 km/h in 12,8 s. Not bad at all

Soon we'll see in Belgium the first blackberry. Yes indeed, even if in USA almost every business man has his blackberry in his hand on the street (well, at least in San Francisco), there is only a few European countries where the blackberry is proposed. It will change with an exclusive offer from Mobistar.

The new blackberry 8100, called "pearl" in Belgium will have up to date features like camera and multimedia player, of course it will be also compatible with the EDGE technology. With only 89 grams, I have to admit that I might give it a try.

During his visit to Brussels, Bill Gates presented the very first Kafka Award to the cinema group Kinepolis and the technology business Quick Sensor.

The Kafka Award is handed out to companies that reduce the paperwork mountain and is an initiative of Vincent Van Quickenborne, the liberal State Secretary responsible for the cutting of red tape, in co-operation with KPMG and Microsoft.

This year's winners, Kinepolis and Quick Sensor have developed a system that allows cinemagoers to book their cinema tickets online.
Buyers can also decide where they will sit in the cinema, thereby reducing the queues in front of the box office.
At present, the system is only used at the Kinepolis cinema in Bruges but the Kafka Award winners intend to introduce it at the other branches shortly.

Of course, Mr Gates was also in Brussels to talk about Windows Vista ! The new operating system will comply with all EU regulations (interesting fact : although he's not politician, Mr Gates had a meeting with Mr Barroso - this means Mr Gates could raise himself to a rank equivalent to those from political leaders).
Windows Vista will be made available to companies in the days to come; private users will have to wait until January 2007 before it will available on the market.

Windows Vista - A Hard Look at Windows Vista
QUOTE: It's taken five years, enough lines of code to span the globe several times, countless thousands of hours of developer time, and so many builds, betas, and release candidates that you'd need a cluster-based supercomputer to keep track of them all -- but Windows Vista is finally here.
