Bought a few of these yesterday on the back of their RNS detailing the latest product. The shares have had a fairly torrid time recently, for no particular reason. I have used their Onspeed product for quite a while now and it works very well for speeding up internet connection, though my broadband connection is much faster these days so I leave it mainly switched off. The ShrinkMyTunes software looks like a sure winner to me, but DYOR of course. The SP, as it would since I bought, has declined but I am tempted to buy more if there is a further fall. Has anyone got a good reason to stop me?!!


London, UK - 26 July 2007 - Z GROUP plc, the AIM listed developer and provider
of leading consumer Internet technologies, announces the launch of
ShrinkMyTunes, a unique compression software that has the capability to
quadruple the storage capacity of iPods, MP3 players and mobile phones.

ShrinkMyTunes' compression of MP3 audio files is achieved through proprietary
encoding and heuristic optimization algorithms developed by former NASA
scientists. This software has been licensed exclusively by Z GROUP for
worldwide distribution. The compressed audio files are compliant with the
industry standard MP3 format and remain in MP3 format after the compression has
taken place. The software works seamlessly with iTunes and any MP3 player and
takes under a minute to compress each track.

Jamie True, Joint CEO of Z GROUP, said:

'ShrinkMyTunes addresses important and specific needs for anyone with a music
collection and will be particularly popular with owners of iPod minis and
shuffles, as well as new iPhone customers. There are currently over 11 million
people in the UK alone that own an MP3 player and this sector is continuing to
experience high growth. We are very proud to be the first and only company to
bring such an innovative, useful and affordable software product to consumers
worldwide. ShrinkMyTunes builds on Z GROUP's success of delivering
award-winning compression software that started with our ONSPEED product.'

ShrinkMyTunes will be available for 19.99 from
www.shrinkmytunes.com

"Shrink my tunes? ..... perhaps they also offer for wives, ""Shrink his testicles, for his cock is small enough already""

You've been talking to my wife Cynic?!

not exactly, but the rumour was indeed posted on a BB!

Blimey, ZGP are even better than I thought.....look how they've shrunk the SP!! :oD

(Russia)



Now that Russian explorers have dived to the bottom of the Arctic Ocean and planted a Russian flag directly under the North Pole, there is little else that can be done to extract any hydrocarbons that could be found beneath the seabed. It was a good publicity stunt but there is little international bickering about the claim only sour grapes. Perhaps a barber pole and a few other treaty nation flags should make the wine more drinkable. !!!


Apparently this was all based on a misunderstanding when Bush told Putin to stick his flag where the sun don't shine. : )

market meltdown, Take Note "stay calm"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWksEJQEYVU

no commentator will ever tell you to abandon ship or jump off the bridge!

Take a look at GAR.

Profit-making company with a tiny market cap on low PER.

It's a classic recovery story. Next results in first week of September and they have already announced that they will be ahead of expectations.

Well below the radar.

The stock is really tight though. The vast majority seems to be owned by Directors and other tightly-held long term investors. This of course means it can quickly move very far on any buying pressure!

smiler
Nice one.

SECRUOSER
Looks interesting with a good rise today 25% up.

All my shares today bar one.

The one riser will be Sefton presumably?

SECRUOSER
Yes good old SER comes good on a day of destruction typical.

That will be the Forward Tumble Somersault Executed Flush then!

Johnny wanted to have sex with a girl in his office,
but she belonged to someone else...


One day, Johnny got so frustrated that he went up to
her and said, "I'll give you a $100 if you let me
screw you. But the girl said NO.


Johnny said, "I'll be fast. I'll throw the money on
the floor, you bend down, and I'll be finished by the
time you pick it up. "


She thought for a moment and said that she would have
to consult her boyfriend... So she called her
boyfriend and told him the story.


Her boyfriend says, "Ask him for $200, pick up the
money very fast, he won't even be able to get his
pants down."


So she agrees and accepts the proposal. Half an hour
goes by, and the boyfriend is waiting for his
girlfriend to call.


Finally, after 45 minutes, the boyfriend calls and
asks what happened.


She responded, "The bastard used coins!"



Management lesson:

Always consider a business proposal
in its entirety before agreeing to it and getting screwed!

Nice one Smiler!

SER is also my only blue share today. Still, lots of bargains to be had now, which ones though? and when? Will I be on a beach in the sun somewhere when it happens? Will I have enough money left to get to the beach by the end of the month? How long is a piece of string?

Nice clean loo you have there Driver, I hope she doesn't pee in it!

Kim
I always keep a clean loo.

The DOW's gone blue looks good for tomorrow.

European markets look for rebound

The Dow Jones recovered 300 points in the last hour of trading
European markets will be looking to rebound on Friday, after a late rally on Wall Street saw stocks recover.

It comes the day after London's FTSE 100 fell 4.1%, cutting almost 60bn off the value of Britain's top companies.

There was a dramatic recovery on Wall Street, where the Dow Jones clawed back more than 300 points of its losses in the last hour of trading.

But there were more falls in Asia, as the Bank of Japan pumped funds into the banking system for a second day.

Tokyo's Nikkei 225 closed down 5.4% or 874.8 points at 15,273.7.

It was the index's biggest points decline since April 2000, taking the Nikkei to its lowest level for a year.

By 0730 BST Hong Kong's Hang Seng was down 3.3% or 688.8 points at 19983.6.

Central banks intervene

The Bank of Japan injected 1.2 trillion yen ($10.7 billion; 5.4bn) into money markets, which was its third intervention of the week.

Japanese investors are worried that a slowdown in the US economy will hit exports from Asia.

There is also speculation that the Bank of Japan could raise interest rates next week, despite the problems on the market.

Elsewhere, the Australian central bank intervened to support its currency for the first time for six years.

The Australian dollar was facing its biggest one day fall against the US dollar since it was allowed to trade freely in 1983.

US shares were helped by rumours that Bear Stearns, which is heavily exposed to the troubled mortgage sector, could get funding from a Chinese bank.

There was also talk that the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates to help support the troubled housing market.
