ACEHOYLE.COM LAUNCHES MUSIC & VIDEO SECTION
Noir-themed gambling guide releases its official theme song and announces forthcoming developments.
For Immediate Release
Road Town, Tortola – [18th March] 2010 – Today, leading Web-development firm, MediaTier Ltd., christened AceHoyle.com’s Music & Videos section with the release of an original theme song by Boston indie rockers The Honors.
The new track, titled “Ace of Face,” is a tongue-in-cheek homage to theme songs from 1980s media franchises like “Masters of the Universe” and “G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.” A specially commissioned project, it will only be available for purchase through AceHoyle.com’s official store, Dick’s Dastardly Den.
The release coincides with the launch of AceHoyle.com’s Hoyle-ites Radio, which will allow users to select between and play the site’s musical offerings. Initially, the playlist will only include “Ace of Face.” However, additional songs will be added when AceHoyle.com’s Sonic Showdown Contest launches later this year.
Alongside the Sonic Showdown AceHoyle.com will launch a Hoyle-ites Video Diary tool that will allow users to upload music, movies and other content. The ongoing contest will invite any band registered with the site to compete for prize money and a chance to have its song appear on the official “Adventures of Ace Hoyle” soundtrack.
The Honors’ offering is already scheduled to appear on the forthcoming record, which will be for sale in Dick’s Dastardly Den. It will also figure into several other projects, including a flash-animation Web-comics upgrade, an official Facebook application and an animated series slated for 2011.
Commenting on the theme song, AceHoyle.com Executive Editor Phill Provance said, “This is the first of many steps we’re taking to make the site more than just your average gambling portal. The Honors is really such a talented group of guys, and we feel absolutely blessed to have had a chance to work with them.”
Those interested in learning more about The Honors can do so by visiting the band’s homepage or by attending one of their shows. Confirmed appearances include The Great Scott in Allston, Mass., March 12 and The Middle East Upstairs in Cambridge, Mass., April 1 and May 8.

Bluetooth module – Areas where it can be put to use
Bluetooth is a ubiquitous technology today and it is hard to imagine life without it. In fact, you can find it practically in every other electronic gadget that it has become next to impossible to picture a gadget without having some form of Bluetooth connectivity. The thing about Bluetooth is that it can be found in places that you previously might not have thought about. It is not uncommon to hear about a Bluetooth car that can communicate with other wireless devices that have the Bluetooth connectivity feature. This is quite a nifty thing that you can make use of and ensure that your vehicle is operating like it is supposed to.
In fact, the Bluetooth RFID is another solution worth looking into. With this, you can be sure of making use of this wireless technology in order to get data from any commodity and have it store additional information related to that particular item. If you think about it, the RFID is something that almost all devices would perhaps make use of and mixing it with Bluetooth is perhaps one of the best things that could have happened to it. Now, you can put a lot more information in the device and be sure that it is exactly the kind of product that you might be looking for.
There is Bluetooth option available for the serial port interface as well. In fact, this is called as Bluetooth RS232 and with this one can have Bluetoothtechnology running from a serial port. If you think about it, it is quite a cool technology and one that enables older hardware to have Bluetooth as well. Consequently, older equipment that was previously incompatible with Bluetooth will now be able to effectively communicate with each another. This is something that you would definitely want to have if you would like to avoid expensive upgrades.

Cell Phone Dangers – Protecting Our Homes From Cell Phone Radiation
There are over 4 billion cell phone users throughout the world today – that’s about 4 people out of every 6 living on this planet and owning a cell phone, subscribed to a cellular phone plan, or living with someone who owns a mobile phone. The ubiquity of wireless phones brings to the fore certain issues related to this device, like cell phone dangers to human health.
All mobile phones, when turned on, emit electromagnetic radiation in the microwave radio frequency range. It is this cell phone radiation, as it is absorbed by human tissue (most commonly in the head, as you place the phone next to your ear when you talk) that has come under intense scrutiny this past decade. Several epidemiological and experimental studies have associated prolonged cell phone use to sleeping disorder, cognitive problems, headaches, stress, brain tumors, and cancer.
Experiment Without Controls
On the other hand, studies with opposing results and observations have also been published. CTIA, the wireless industry’s lobbying association pointed out to studies or statements from the World Health Organization (WHO), the American Cancer Society, and the FDA downplaying potential cell phone dangers, “all have concurred that wireless devices are not a public health risk.”
Protect Yourself
Today, at the Consumer Electronics Show 2010 in Las Vegas, a company called Pong Research has announced the availability of a product called Pong™ BlackBerry Curve™ Case which claims to reduce users’ exposure to mobile phone radiation by 60%. Until this product is introduced by other manufacturers to cover other brands and will be marketed widely, however, we all just have to take certain precautionary measures to protect ourselves from suspected cell phone dangers
1. Keep your cell phone away from your body.
2. Text more, talk less.
3. Use headset or speakerphone function.
4. Use your land line.
5. Turn off your cell phone while charging.
6. Purchase or use phones that have been certified or tested to emit the least amount of radiation.
7. Keep cellular phones away from children.
