SlideRocket: The Latest and Greatest in Presentation Creation!
SlideRocket is prepping to go public this June. Until then, the hype for its release is building. In a nutshell, this program takes Microsoft’s PowerPoint to a whole new level. This program can be described as a presentation system that can be used both in a web browser and as an offline Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) application. This AIR application is really great for the presentation developer to be able to take code written for the online web browser and make it accessible for your desktop. This way, you can access the presentation even if you are offline, and this is especially helpful if you are presenting somewhere with little or no internet connection.

What the drivers say before 2008 Australian Grand Prix
The following are the driver quotes ..
Lewis Hamilton, McLaren (1st, Q3 - 1m 26.714s):
“I couldn’t have wished for a better start to the season, and it’s great to see Heikki (Kovalainen) and my friend Robert (Kubica) doing well, and the team has done a super job in getting all the necessary parts ready in time. During Q1 I was held up in traffic, but everything just came together when it mattered in Q3. The track conditions were a bit easier today compared to yesterday as it wasn’t as hot. I think the start will be interesting tomorrow due to the change in regulations. Last year it was relatively easy where as now it’s dependent on the driver, so I want to get that right. Fortunately I am starting from the clean side of the track for once, and hopefully that will help a bit, but it will be a long and tough race.”
Kimi comments - 2008 Formula 1 preview
Looks like the champion from last year is ready and pumped up.
“I can’t wait for the new season to start,” says Kimi. “It really seems that the time has flown since last October. I had a nice break and now everything is ready for the start of the season. I believe that we’re going to Melbourne with a competitive car. The tests during the winter went very well and we did everything possible. The F2008 is a step forward from the car we had last year. The team has done a great job; especially in the areas where we weren’t that strong, like the behaviour through slow corners and over the curbs. We should be strong in every situation, although you never know these things for sure.

BMW quotes from Australia
F1 Driver quotes from Australia
Nick Heidfeld, BMW Sauber 2007 Qualifying - 3rd, 2007 Race - 4th
“I’m really looking forward to the curtain-raiser in Australia - to a couple of free days to
acclimatise and then for everything to get going at last! This time round I found it particularly difficult to gauge how the teams measure up against each other. We made progress between the roll-out in Valencia and the final test in Barcelona, but none of us will know where we stand until Melbourne. Autumn in Australia brings the possibility of rain, which would make driving without traction control and engine braking control a real challenge. I did some testing on a wet track and it was great fun. The Albert Park circuit doesn’t provide much grip even in dry conditions, especially at the start of the weekend.”
