Disney did agree to aquire Steve Jobs’ Pixar Studios with a hefty $1 billion in cash and $6.3 Billion in shares/stocks..Whew! That’s a lot..The disney animation department will now be combined with pixar with pixar overheading the disney staff.Jobs will also be a member of the board of the disney company and heck as the report says earlier,the single largest shareholder! How good is to be in his shoes!?hahaha.As Early as today Itunes Video are selling some downloads of Disney’s short films at $1.99 per download..In the coming days or weeks probably a whole catalog of disney features..Wow.It’s a d*mn great deal! one that will encourage many companies of different fields to join the “apple revolution”.

Oh,By february ill fix my blog it will get an Interface-lift!haha.Also opening a new section/subdomain..What is that?? Watch out for it! It will be the biggest suprise…hahaha…all i can do now is a “Pad cast” haha…So be on the lookout.

Week-long Launches.

This week,the launch of Ferrari’s “248 F1″  and Mclaren-Mercedes’ MP4-21 F1 happened just yesterday.Ferrari launched their new car at thier private track at mugello,italy while Mclaren at the circuit de catalunya,spain.They both Feature new v8 engines and heavily modified bodyworks and chassis,though the bodywork can change before the first grand prix this march.

Hmmm..I love the Orange Mclaren..Their move from “West” to “Johnny Walker” for sponsorship in thier team deeply affected the color of the car(like any other team as i said back in my previous f1 entry.) Ferrari as usual a red one,but i thought cigarette livery is now prohibited(Marlboro logos are still dominant in thier new car..why?? I dont really know! I’m investigating this one!haha).Ferrari also sealed a Deal with “Martini” so probably by mid season they will change from marlboro to martini?So let’s see..The two teams also rolled out thier new machines to the track and completed some test laps for records and analysis..

About the Ferrari name..Why 248-F1? they back to thier signature names,they derive it from the engine “2.4L/V8″ like the 1997 car “F310B”=3L/V10 engine B spec. or thier exotic  cars like the Scalgietti 612= 6L/V12 engine..From 2001-2005,they named thier f1 cars only like F1+ the year. EX: Ferrari f1 2005(last year).. Interesting facts eh?..I’ll tell you more about the other teams if you want to..Just ask me!haha..I’ve been an avid f1 fan since childhood..

Also This week, Honda f1(Former BAR-Honda f1) will launch thier new car tommorrow,Williams F1(still a great team) on the other hand will sport thier FW-28 f1 car in the 27th and lastly,Renault f1(Last Season’s World Champion both driver’s and constructor’s) will roll out on the 31st with thier R26-F1..Whew! Week long of F1 Launches. 3 more teams will have thier cars introduced by february and march,Scuderia Toro Rosso(a second Team for Red Bull f1),Midland f1(Former Jordan f1 team) and Super-Aguri f1 Team(A second honda owned team).
