There is no way around it, everyone will tell you that search engine optimization is important. I think it is true to different degrees depending in the type of web site you are running. If you are doing a content driven site, then it is my belief that the best SEO you can do is write good content, and update frequently. Of course, there are plenty of legitimate internet business ventures out there that have very little content - say, a sales site. This eBook actually has some really good information in it and provides nice tips on different things any webmaster can do to make their site a bit more visible to the online world.

Free 40-hour Series 2 Tivo With Subscription Purchase
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Home Entertainment, Hot Deals,
So you are digging Tivo but haven’t bought one yet for whatever reason. Well now’s your chance to get your hands on one for free if you pay for a full year of the Tivo service up front. They are probably giving the 40 hour version away since its being discontinued. Nonetheless, it’s a very good deal for a service you’ll end up paying for anyways – so why not get something in return? Offer ends on 7/27/05 so get it quick.
(Thanks Kidd!)

Project Gotham Racing 3 is one of the most highly anticipated next gen game that has sparked up its fair share of controversy. Aside from the E3 trailer and the short clip we saw when the Xbox 360 was unveiled on MTV, Gamespot has a great teaser trailer on this upcoming game. Of course, this game is not done yet so don’t expect these images to be from actual game play. Just remember not to blink, or else you’ll miss this “high speed trailer”.

Victorinox Swiss Army, the makers of fine tools, knives, and award winning and innovative USB hard drive hybrid devices announced a stunning new digital watch today: the ST 5000. The ST 5000 features LED lighting and advanced LCD display technologies. The ST 5000 features a built in digital compass for finding true magnetic north. The watch also includes a pathfinding tool that can lock in an orientation and indicate via a 5 point direction indicator if the wearer is straying off a straight line. The ST 5000 also includes a spirit level to aide in creating level structures for those wilderness adventures. The ST 5000 will be rugged encased in a titanium case and with hardened mineral crystal for it’s face. Sadly with a feature list like this and no price listed on the press release I’m betting that if you have to ask how much this bad boy of a watch is you probably can’t afford one.

EyeTV for DTT - Pocket-Sized Digital TV for the Mac
Posted by Sparky Categories: Home Entertainment, Peripherals,
Elgato systems just announced the EyeTV for DTT, a highly portable USB2.0 digital TV tuner for the Mac. The EyeToy is bus powered and thus requires no external power supply or adapter. The Eye Toy comes bundled with software to enable the user to perform PVR functionality - pause, repeat, and recording live TV for later transfer to a Sony PSP, iTunes, DVD-R’s, or other digital video devices. With a small and powerful tuner like this for digital TV broadcasts Apple’s brand is one step closer to having the Digital Media Trinity. I wonder how Sony feels about their use of the name Eye Toy?

Today I discovered what might possibly be the most simple yet effective keyboard protectors for the Apple PowerBook: the iSkin ProTouch PB. The ProTouch is a thin silicone overlay for the keyboard on the PowerBook making it resistant to spills, and keeping crumbs, flakes of dead skin, and all sorts of other nasty things out of your keyboard. The ProTouch is available in multiple colors although I suspect most proud PowerBook owners would much rather go for the frosted white version. The ProTouch is washable and easily removable for when the oils in your skin start to build up. The website promises that it’s easy to install and remove and provides immense protection for both your keyboard and screen while softening your keystrokes - it almost makes me wonder if it might help reduce the strain on my fingers from typing all day.

I know we all run into the problem of not being able to serve beer fast enough, so a company called Laminar Technologies has kindly provided us with a solution: The Turbo Tap. Turbo Tap works by changing the way the beer is pressurized and forced into the glass or pitcher. This means a perfect pour with a narrow collar of foam on each glass in less than two seconds. The website promises to make a bar more money by reducing spillage and helping to speed up busy beer bars. Whichever reader ends up buying one for their house - make sure to invite the Gear Live editors over so we can “review” it with you.
