This is the prize for the Alibata Top 1 Overall winner.
The EOS 400D, called Digital Rebel XTi in North America and EOS Kiss Digital X in Japan, is an entry-level digital single-lens reflex camera introduced by Canon August 24, 2006. It is the successor of the popular Canon EOS 350D, upgrading to a 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, a larger continuous shooting buffer, an integrated image sensor vibrating cleaning system, a more precise 9-point auto focus system from the EOS 30D, improved grip, and a bigger 2.5-inch LCD with 230,000 pixels and a larger viewing angle which replaces the top status screen. The 400D uses the DIGIC II image processor, as is used in the 350D. However it has been noted by some users that the 400D does underexpose unlike the 350D which tended to overexpose. Support for the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) USB protocol is available since version 1.1.0.[4] The latest firmware available is version 1.1.1.
Can I get this camera from Alibata?
As of December 2007 its MSRP was US$800 MSRP ($599.00 CDN in Canada) for the body, or $900 ($749.99 CDN) with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens, thus lowering the bar for other $1000 10 megapixel DSLRs like the Sony α 100 or the Nikon D80, which were also unveiled in summer 2006. Canon has also started to sell the 400D with the 17-85 f/4.0-5.6 IS USM lens. Two new lenses have been launched simultaneously: the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM, the fastest Canon standard lens currently in production; and the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens, a telephoto zoom with an image stabilizer.
MacBook Pro 17"
Introduced on April 24, 2006, the 17-inch MacBook Pro features a 17-inch display with a native resolution of 1680 × 1050 and weighs 3.08 kg (6.8 pounds). At the time of release, the 17-inch featured the Intel Core Duo processor at 2.16 GHz; similar to the 15-inch, the 17-inch MacBook Pro had an upgrade on October 24, 2006 that gave way to the faster Intel Core 2 Duo processor clocked at 2.33 GHz. On June 5, 2007 the processor speed was bumped to 2.4 GHz. On November 1, 2007 Apple introduced an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6ghz MacBook Pro upgrade for $250 more.
In addition to the standard features of the 15.4-inch model, the 17-inch MacBook Pro also features an additional USB 2.0 port and an 8× SuperDrive as opposed to the 6× SuperDrive of the 15-inch models (prior to the upgrade on June 5, 2007 which included 8x drives in both 15" and 17" models). Its ATI Radeon X1600 GPU was replaced with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT on June 5, 2007.
The 17" MacBook Pro replaces the 17-inch PowerBook G4 and has features very similar to those found in its immediate predecessor. It is, however, slightly thinner at 2.59 cm (one inch).

Year of the Rat
The Rat was welcomed in ancient times as a protector and bringer of material prosperity. It is an animal associated with aggression, wealth, charm, and order, yet also associated with death, war, the occult, pestilence, and atrocities. In the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of the Rat is associated with the earthly branch symbol 子.
Being the first sign of the Chinese zodiac, rats are leaders, pioneers and conquerors. They are charming, passionate, charismatic, practical and hardworking. Rat people are endowed with great leadership skills and are the most highly organized, meticulous, and systematic of the twelve signs. Intelligent and cunning at the same time, rats are highly ambitious and strong-willed people who are keen and unapologetic promoters of their own agendas, which often include money and power. They are energetic and versatile and can usually find their way around obstacles, and adapt to various environments easily. A rat's natural charm and sharp demeanor make it an appealing friend for almost anyone, but rats are usually highly exclusive and selective when choosing friends and so often have only a few very close friends whom they trust.

Still Leading at Alibata
It seems I'm still leading though busy and was not able to work on my entries for Alibata contest. My blog and website are still ranking on top of Google, Yahoo and especially at MSN. This blog is still doing fine at Yahoo but still playing hide and seek at Google and MSN. Sometimes this blog was on top of Google but sometimes it just dissapeared on SERP. My entries that are still doing good are the globalwarmingawareness07.com (topping MSN and Yahoo), paradisephilippinesinfo.blogspot.com (topping Google and MSN), shopautodotca-seocontest.info (topping Google), ghc.ibaan.net, xytron.com.paradisephilippines.html, salibata.com and etc. Most of my new Alibata blogs are still not showing at Google and MSN but some are showing in Yahoo SERP. I know I must still work hard because I know my opponents are working hard also on their Alibata entries.
