Lamborghini Estoque Concept
It is a Lamborghini like no other before it: a four-door sports car that sticks resolutely to its creed. The Lamborghini Estoque concept has everything that defines a Lamborghini: extreme, uncompromising and unmistakably Italian, it brings a whole new versatility to the brand’s DNA - with its four seats and ample luggage space, this “everyday sports car” is a perfect fit for an equally versatile lifestyle.

What I like:

Cockpit with large-screen display:

The cockpit presents the driver with a large-area LCD screen displaying vehicle and route information. A range of presentation formats are available for selection depending on personal preference – a distinctive classical layout with circular instrument dials, or an innovative digital display. A top-class audio installation and a sophisticated rear seat entertainment system round off the equipment.

Like the interior, the luggage compartment of the Estoque is also surprisingly spacious. Despite the low-profile rear end, it has plenty room for several golf bags or pieces of luggage.

The Economy of Dubai is valued at US$ 46 billion (2006). The International Herald Tribune has described it as “centrally-planned free-market capitalism.” Although Dubai’s economy was built on the back of the oil industry, revenue from petroleum and natural gas currently account for less than 3% of the emirate’s gross domestic product.

We’ve got a new theme, im not a great designer but it will do for now. Let me know what you think.

I’ve also launched the Live Leet Image Hosting service for my readers to use if they like.

Digg.com

Digg is my top favorite website. I have been a member since 2006, and I have been on it almost everyday since I joined. If you have never been there before, take a look and you will always find something interesting.

Gmail.com

I have tried almost all of the popular web mail clients, and Gmail beats them all. Their spam protection is amazing, and it blocks 99% of all spam emails. There is plenty of storage, Yahoo has unlimited storage but who really needs more than 6 gigs for email?

DigitalPoint.com

If you are a webmaster there is a good chance you have heard of this forum. There are many friendly members there that will help you with anything you need. If you are looking to make money online, its a good place to go for help. You even get money for posting since it’s a revenue sharing forum. They have a very active marketplace section, where you can find anything for an online business. You can host a contest for designers to make you a banner or logo, it works very well. If you are looking for a bigger version of their marketplace, Sitepoint.com is a good place to go.

StatCounter.com

I use StatCounter to track all of my websites, this will soon be replaced once Woopra launches. For now, Statcounter provides excellent website tracking tools. Woopra will be launching soon, they offer a free live tracking system for blogs and forums, I think it has ALOT of potential.

Welcome to the Live Leet Blog. I have always thought about starting a blog to post all my thoughts about stuff, reviews, news, etc. This is my first blog, and my first time blogging.  I am basically a hard working guy who wants to quit his job to blog online. It’s a pretty big step, which will probably never happen, but everyone has their dreams.

The Live Leet Blog is about the elite twenty-first century life around technology, or just about my random thoughts and findings online. I hope everyone enjoys my blog, and comes back for more.
