Kyocera Releases iPod mini-Matching Cameras to cash in on the iPod mini craze.

Kyocera is selling five new color-matched versions of the four-megapixel Finecam SL400R cameras. Color-matched, that is, to the iPod mini. That's nice idea - for at least those fashion-forward iPod adopters... currently it looks like they are only available in Japan - via Apple's Ginza store and the online Apple Store... Thanks to GizModo and Register for this.

Just came across the Google Search Appliance ... a Google-Box to deliver the same results you expect from Google web search - it can be yours on your intranet or public website with this nifty Google Search Appliance.

The combined hardware and software solution shall be easy to use and simple to deploy to begin providing enterprise search results in just a few short hours. I just wonder if this could help re-engineering the Google algo's for some SEO companies ?!?
