Snoop Dogg Pimps Him Voice Out on Tom Tom

I find it funny how Snoop Dogg isnt allowed in the UK or Australia, but he could potentially be in your car. The world famous rapper Snoop Dogg has brought his hilarious “-izzle” speak to TomTom.

The firm behind this is Locutio Voice Technologies which offers novelty sat nav voices, and Snoop Dogg will fit in their stable very well.

According to the firm, Snoop’s navigational wisdom includes:

Take tha third left, and while you’re at it, put in some of that Snoop Dogg!Turn around when possible and keep it ‘G’, ya d-i-g?

Keep left ahead, and you’ll be bonafide.

Snoop’s own brand manager, Nick Adler, assures us that “celebrity voices for GPS are a hot new content category”.

“Snoop is the first real megastar to lend his voice to GPS navigation. As Snoop is a trendsetter, he just had to have his voice tell us all where to go!” he added.

There is a very big novelty factor here, but im not too sure if someone would actually purchase this item more than once! Im curious to see who they can bring on next to top Snoop Dogg, I really would love to hear Yoda or the Cookie Monster direct me through London traffic.

Firefox Has Even Reached Australia In Large Numbers

It was reported by News.com.au that Australia has one of the largest Firefox user numbers in the world. The Oceania region, which includes Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, had the highest percentage of Firefox browsers in the world at the end of last year, according to French web survey firm XiTi. The actual percentage of Firefox browsers has rise by 12% in Oceania in the last year and a half alone. This is a faster growth rate than Europe of even North America.

Im interested to see what percentage of the remain browser users use, IE or something else?
