This is by far the most ridiculous property for sale advertisement that I’ve ever seen (click here). What for taking pictures of trees and grass when you’re actually selling a property!? The sales agent must be joking or he/she might be just better off selling a farm or orchard yard.

Did Yahoo Changed Its Front Page?
While browsing Yahoo with Firefox today, I noticed that there was really something missing. It looks like Yahoo’s front page has been tuned down to a simpler view, as you can see from the screenshot above.
But when I turned on Opera and IE7, I revisited the page and it was back to normal again, as seen below.
So what’s happening here? I do like the look of the simpler version of Yahoo’s front page, although it still looks a bit clutter compared to Google’s. But at least standardize a common page for all browsers. Have you had a similar experience or is it just me?
Donald Trump with The Billionaire Inside
Donald Trump was on air recently with a television show aired on CNBC titled “The Billionaire Inside”. Being one of the most successful real estate investor in modern time, I’m sure his comments and thoughts would not lie on deaf ears. Several comments that he did mentioned were:
1. It’s a good time to get into real estate now, as things are cheap and you get a fat discount out from any deal.
2. Get a good parnership if you’re into real estate development
3. Think globally by investing in Dubai, China or India
4. Real estate will be going to go sour in between now and 6 months ahead, so it’s a good time to buy now and between.
5. Theres really no right time to start your own business, you got to have the guts and confidence to make your own decision.
6. You have to love what you’re doing to be successful
I’m sure there were more. Points well taken from my side 🙂
