Honda Motor president Takeo Fukui made the announcement at an emotional press conference, repeatedly apologising to fans, staff, drivers and F1 authorities.
"Honda Motor Co. has come to the conclusion that we will withdraw from all Formula One activities, making 2008 the last season for participation," Fukui said.
"This difficult decision has been made in light of the quickly deteriorating operating environment facing the global auto industry, brought on by the subprime problem in the United States, the deepening credit crisis and the sudden contraction of the world economies," he added.
Honda has been involved with F1 since 1964 and has clocked up three wins, including Jenson Button's in Hungary in 2006.
The team finished ninth in the constructors championship this season with 14 points. Veteran driver Rubens Barrichello achieved the team's best result with a third-place finish at Silverstone.
Honda Motor also supplied engines and other technical support to Formula One team Super Aguri, which called it quits due to financial problems in May.
Formula One events are also feeling the pinch with this year's Australian Grand Prix going 27 million dollars into the red and France axing its race over money worries.
Shanghai organisers recently cast doubt on the future of the Chinese Grand Prix but then retracted their remarks.
Honda said on Friday that it was pulling out of Formula One due to the global financial crisis, raising further concerns over the notoriously expensive sport's future. Max Mosley, the head of motorsport's world governing body, the FIA, has urged teams to come up with cost-cutting proposals in the face of the global financial downturn, which has hit automakers hard.
"It had become apparent, long before the present economic difficulties, that Formula One was unsustainable," Mosley said in October.
Honda, Japan's second largest automaker, is reducing production and cutting hundreds of job cuts in response to slumping car sales.
Japanese manufacturers have expanded rapidly in recent years to meet brisk demand for their smaller, fuel-efficient cars, but they have not been immune to the financial crisis, even if they are in better shape than their US rivals.

The 10 BEST presents for MEN this CHRISTMAS
Fathers, husbands and the more mature type of son can be hellishly tricky to buy for. Let us take the stress out of the season with ten foolproof suggestions that are sure to please.
Paul Smith scarf £135
Neutral enough in colour to work with everything from jeans to pinstripes, yet with a certain undeniable style this cashmere beauty may well be the perfect scarf.
My Monopoly £70.95
He’s seen The Apprentice. And a million property development shows. He fancies his chances. But getting on one of those televisiual annoyances isn’t as easy as it looks. He can generate his own personal Boom & Bust with a Monopoly set printed with individual street (or pub) names that mean something special to him. Plus, with is name on the board no-one’s going to dare to stop him being the Racing Car.
Gieves & Hawkes cufflinks £125
Few of us can wear Savile Row suits every day, but these stylish, almost aggressively plain links will give the humblest outfit a touch of Old World elegance and will really shine when he’s unexpectedly summoned to a Black Tie affair.
Eelus Audrey print £100
Subversive and stylish, Eelus prints are a complement to almost any bachelor pad and are just a little less common than the now rather overplayed Banksy reproductions. This twist on the classic Hepburn image is probably pick of the bunch.
Bunker Mentality Merino V-neck £79.95
A cosy soft wool sweater? That’s equally at home in the pub, at work, or slobbing around the house? With a little ironic golfer chic? Perfect.
Snowball launcher $29.95
Only sold in the US, you’ll need to be quick to snag on of these awesome urban combat essentials before the big day, but even if it arrives a little late it shouldn’t matter too much: We probably won’t get much snow until June.
iRecorder £99.95
In our gadget-rich, time-poor culture it’s handy to be able to watch last night’s TV on the way in to work. Only trouble is, it’s often quite a fiddle. The iRecorder takes all the IT out of Entertainment and just delivers the recordings you've designated painlessly to your iPod while you’re in the shower, giving you at least half a chance of catching the morning train.
Toy Crossbow £12.95
We can’t all be Sarah Palin. Especially not if we’re young British and male. The powerful but not entirely lethal action of this indoor crossbow will have the youngest, males, and Britishest of us bowhunting like an ex-Alaskan beauty queen in no time.
Cooks Blowtorch £22.00
Our television schedules are crammed with beefy two-fisted super-chefs making complicated foood look easy. They’re not messing about with girly salad spinners though: They have manly tools to make manly food. A blowtorch is just the kind of deadly weapon to get the most kitchen-phobic man cooking crèmes brûlées, putting the finishing touches to barbecues and (when no-one’s looking) lighting cigars.
Falcon Longbeach Cruiser £149.99
If he’s a serious cyclist, he’s already got the bike he wants. If, like most of us, he’s just a dilettante who wants to potter to the shops for croissants on Sundays and tool around the neighbourhood on those rare sunny days he needs something well-made, not ridiculously expensive, and above all rather stylish. Enter the Longbeach Cruiser. It has that Seventies Chopper feeling without being totally Nathan Barley, and will stand up to the odd venture off-road (even if that just means across the park).
The 10 BEST presents for WOMEN this CHRISTMAS
Fortnum & Mason cup and saucer set £35
Tea isn’t really tea unless you’re drinking it from a very thin cup. These rather nice Fortnum & Mason tea cups are really very thin indeed, with a design that neatly addresses the key "sweet old lady" and "ironic fashionista" demographics. The bonus, of course, is that if the gift is a success there’s a whole service you can buy bit by bit so the recurrent birthday and Christmas dilemmas become but a distant memory.
Anya Hindmarch 'Charlie' bag £575
Simultaneously plain enough to be used every day and distinctive enough to guarantee at least one full-blown swank per day, this admittedly rather pricey bag more than pays for itself by allowing the lucky recipient the additional pleasure of pointing out that her husband bought it for her, thus identifying her as a keen judge of manflesh among her envious friends.
With our winters of ever more arbitrary length and bitterness a nice warm hat that’s both stylish and resistant to being crammed into a handbag is essential. This is that hat. The additional fair-trade angle can only add to your seasonal tally of brownie points.
One of those classic items that everyone needs, but only thinks about a few hours before the picnic. This is a gift that guarantees the giver more than one long hot summer of picnic invitations. Who could ask for more?
A luxurious portmanteau that promises wicked weekends away but will serve just as well to store those once-a-year lingerie items on top of her wardrobe.
A little too small to be tucked underneath Paris Hilton’s arm but still retaining that all-important celebrity flibbertigibbet factor, these tiny perfumed pooches are ideal to secrete in a Christmas stocking or between layers of giftwrap for that wrapped-with-love feeling.
On the Horizon gloves £18.34
Luxury lambswool and angora gloves that are glamorous enough to draw admiring glances when she arrives at the New Year's Eve party and still cosy enough to make a snowball fight on the way home a realistic possibility.
My Single Friend gift membership £18
Clearly not something one should buy for a wife or girlfriend, but if you know a young, single woman this comparatively inexpensive gift should ensure that she will at least have a date for next New Year’s Eve.
Few men know where the cushions in their house came from. They’re just one of those mysterious things that women bring with them. Surprise her with one of these fat, squashy treasures and you will be seen as a sensitive and thoughtful poet of the soft furnishings department.
Neal’s Yard Box £48
A box of bath stuff is the default present for a female relative that’s hard to buy for. If you absolutely have to buy a box of smelly bath stuff, this is the one to get. A selection of rose-scented soaps and creams with a candle to burn in the bathroom for a classic indulgent Boxing Day soak.
The 10 Best Presents for KIDS this CHRISTMAS
Star Wars Millennium Falcon £149.95
This is a gift that, if we’re being honest, many dads will covet for themselves. The gigantic ship (it’s the better part of a yard long) is the ultimate Star Wars toy: It features an appropriately rakish Han Solo figure and a hulking wookie. It fires missiles, it lights up, it makes authentic ‘failed hyperdrive’ noises. It has secret compartments, a working gun turret, a separate mini-shuttle, even somewhere for Luke to practice his light-saber. Every red-blooded boy from 3 to 53 will absolutely adore this, if they can only find room for it. I daresay a few green-blooded boys might got for it too.
Biscuit the loving pup £119.95
President-elect Obama’s greatest dilemma right now seems to be selecting the ideal puppy to live with his family in the White House. He clearly knows that a pet can be a terrific stimulus to a child’s development but we can’t all afford the space or the time to care for a dog properly. One of an ever-more realistic lineage of robot playmates Biscuit is less likely to exacerbate the First Kid’s allergies and, apart from a few dead batteries, won’t leave any nasty surprises on the hall rug.
JVC KD-10 Headphones £22.00
It’s increasingly common for kids to entertain themselves on long journeys with a portable DVD player or a hand-me-down iPod, but the headphones that come with expensive electronics are rarely suitable for delicate young ears. Enter JVC with these sturdy cans that feature a volume limiter that can be set by the concerned parent.
SparrowKids Routemaster Bus Kit £9.99
Sparrowkids make a huge range of craft kits for children – there are dozens of pretty but achievable projects for young girls but this London bus might also tempt a young boy to take up his (safe plastic) needle and sew.
Lego Indiana Jones Motorcycle chase £8.99
This Christmas will undoubtedly see a new generation of Indy Fans born as the Crystal Skull movie arrives on DVD. What better way to expand on that enthusiasm than to give a little Lego motorcycle and sidecar combination featuring everyone’s favourite renegade archaeologist? Unless you count Tony Robinson of course. Lego’s always a great gift because it encourages young minds to pull things apart and reassemble them, encouraging analytical thought. It also teaches them to endure the pain of stepping on a loose piece barefoot, which encourages fortitude. Character building entertainment.
Kitchen Chemistry Set £15.99
Bring our the budding Heston Blumenthal in any 6-14 year old with a chemistry set that uses common household ingredients to teach kids about acids and alkalis, chemical reactions, enzymes and mixing. Not quite as the virtual bomb-making kits that our grandparents grew up with but still good, educational messy fun.
Holz wooden airport £52.95
It might sensibly be said that Britain doesn’t need another airport but when it’s a chunkily traditional (sustainable) wooden toy one like this even the most eco-concious of us would agree that it’s a good thing. Especially as, treated with a little care, this sturdy playset could easily entertain several generations of young air traffic controllers. How many High School Musical Dance Mats can make that boast?
Dressing up is one of those activities that never quite gets boring, no matter how old we get. This red tulle dress with elegant gossamer wings supplies enough age-appropriate glamour to pass muster at a birthday party or two as well as being the star of every sleepover and playdate until the lucky recipient regretfully grows out of it. Best of all, it will survive a 40 degree wash so it will resist a certain amount of blancmange.
Pirate Outfit £25
Everybody loves a pirate. With a satin-lined waistcoat adorned with (unfortunately not real) gold buttons, artfully distressed pantaloons, an eyepatch and a Jolly Roger bandana this has that authentic buccaneer style that will please every young boy (and not a few young girls) with a longing for the Spanish Main.
Catch a beast £19.99
Already a huge craze in Japan, the Catch a Beast phenomenon might baffle us busy adults, but captivate most single-minded young boys with its Lovecraftian mythology of a world seething with invisible beasts just waiting to be captured, trained and exchanged with other beast-masters.
Ten important things to know... before having sex with an ex
1. Your relationship wasn't working so you split up. But your split-up isn't working too well either. You are single, miserable and surrounded by irritatingly loved-up couples and ever-so-happy families. With Christmas coming, a spot of “no strings” sexual solace in the arms of your ex starts to seem like the solution.
2. It's certainly cheaper. No need for expensive dates or elaborate mating rituals. A bottle of Cava and a bunch of garage forecourt carnations always did the trick before.
3. And it's so much easier than starting something new. There's a comfort level that comes with knowing someone really well that new relationships just don't provide.
4. Cue the violins. Instead of remembering all the reasons you broke up, you start fantasising about her soft, warm body up against yours. And before you know it you have convinced yourself that you can overcome any residual anger or upset and selflessly help each other through the night.
5. Next comes the reality check. Sex with your ex might relight your fire, but all the baggage that brought you down will still be there in the morning.
6. Safe sex is now an issue, too. It's difficult to admit to having had sex with someone else, so even if she promises you that she has been celibate since you split, you will need to use condoms just in case.
7. Question your motives. Sometimes people go back into old relationships because it's an easy way of affirming that they are still attractive. The problem is that it sends mixed messages to your ex and is likely to leave you feeling very confused too.
8. And question her motives, too. Women rarely resurrect a sexual relationship with an ex partner with the express intention of keeping it casual, so if you don't want to get involved with her again don't go there.
9. If you do want to get back with her, you will need to work out what went wrong last time if things are going to be different this time. You can access a relationship expert face-to-face, by e-mail or by phone at Relate
10. Sex with the ex seems simple, but is actually very complicated. Samantha Jones from Sex and The City summed it up when she said: “Sex with an ex can be depressing. If it's good, you can't get it anymore. If it's bad, you just had sex with an ex.”
The Best 100 Films in the Year 2008
The Dark Knight
"Heath Ledger’s posthumous Oscar looks in the bag. The film is bleak and brilliant. Batman is Hamlet and Ledger is a sensation as the Joker. The late legend doesn’t just steal the film, he murders it in style. You will feel utterly numb afterwards" - James Christopher
Gomorrah
"Matteo Garrone’s startling film about the criminal underworld in Naples is one of these rare movies that can alter our perception of life. It's brave to the point of foolhardy" - James Christopher
Man On Wire
"The American director James Marsh has created one of the greatest heist films of all times. Two things make his gripping docudrama so different: it’s all true, and the only thing stolen is air. It isn’t about art, it’s about us" - Cosmo Landesman
There Will Be Blood
"Paul Thomas Anderson's movie about the scramble for oil is a masterclass in how the West was truly sold. It's a marvellously entertaining soap: a sort of Dickens does Dallas, without the sex or swimming pools" - James Christopher
Time and Winds
"The kind of movie that was invented for the word “ineffable”. It is, at a guess, about life’s relentless march, about death, rebirth, and the hollow limits of religion in the face of overwhelming nature. When you’ve got it you’ve got it for good" - Kevin Maher
4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days
"Every frame of this Romanian drama set in the 1980s about two female students trying to arrange an illegal abortion is brilliantly thought out. A stunning and demanding watch" - James Christopher
Alexandra
"Aleksandr Sokurov’s strange and dusty fable charts the unlikely visit of an old Russian woman to her grandson’s desert garrison in Chechnya. Full of intriguing mysteries" - Edward Porter
Appaloosa
"Director (and star) Ed Harris reintroduces us to the old-style strong and silent western hero. Get ready to swoon" - Wendy Ide
Assembly
"Feng Xiaogang’s epic war film is just about the most impressive one since Saving Private Ryan" - Cosmo Landesman
Australia
"Baz Luhrmann's long-awaited, and over-budget epic manages, against the odds, to avoid turning into one big sunburnt stereotype about Godzone country. Compellingly beautiful and breathtakingly cruel" - Anne Barrowlcough

I didn’t expect this. I fired up Google’s Web browser,chrome expecting very little except a stripped down early beta with a plethora of bugs. After playing with it for a while, it’s too early to say that I’m blown away, but I must admit that I’ve stumbled onto some impressive feats which show that the team that built Chrome was intelligent, mature and forward-thinking. Here they are, in no particular order. 1. Blazing fast Chrome actually uses WebKit for rendering Web pages, the same rendering engine as Safari, which is known to be very fast. Put that in a simple, well optimized, stripped down shell and you get the fastest Web browser around. It loads fast, it displays pages fast, and we’re talking noticeable differences here, which really makes it a joy to use. Don’t just take my word for it, check out some early bench marks 2. Chews code like there’s no tomorrow This one goes hand in hand with being fast, but it’s a little different. Today, it’s not all that important for a browser to render a lot of HTML quickly; browsers are now platforms in which you run applications: two, three, perhaps even a dozen at a time. Therefore, a good browser can handle dynamic content without stuttering and crashing, and from what I’ve seen, Chrome passes the test with flying colors. True, I haven’t had enough time to test this thoroughly, but the folks over at scriptNode have put together some benchmarks and it seems that chrome not only handles good code well, it also excels at handling errors. 3. Incognito mode Click the control icon in the upper right corner of the browser and you’ll get the option to open a new tab, a new window, or a new incognito window. Incognito window will fire up without appearing in browser or search history, and it won’t leave cookies or any other traces of your activity, except files you’ve downloaded or bookmarks. Yes, Safari has it, too, but it’s a nice jab at Firefox which skipped some similar privacy features in version 3.0. 4. Easy to switch When you’re entering a saturated market with a new product, you can’t change everything. You must carefully balance the features you want to blatantly copy with the ones you want to innovate in. I was pleased to see that Google Chrome was built with this in mind; for example, it’s easy to switch from Firefox, but it does bring enough novelties to make you stick around. Importing your bookmarks from Firefox is easy and works well; and other details, like keyboard shortcuts, are the same. Therefore, Chrome’s learning curve is virtually non-existent; start it up and you’ll be browsing as usual in no time. 5. Intelligent start page Although not completely original (Opera has got a similar approach to quick bookmarking), Chrome’s start page is a pleasant surprise. Besides the ubiquitous search bar, it gives you a list of most commonly visited Web pages to fire up quickly. Granted, I’ve always hated suggestions of that ilk (for example, I’ve never, ever used the commonly used programs feature in Windows), but here it just works, because the pages you frequently visit really are the ones you want to open first. 6. Has its own task manager Chrome treats tabbed windows as separate processes. Nice, we’ve already seen that in IE8, right? But Chrome also has a nifty way to see what’s going on: a task manager. Similar to the task manager in Windows, it lets you see which processes are active (inside Chrome), and how much memory, CPU, and network resources they use. Beautiful. You can access it by right clicking Chrome’s title bar. 7. Dragging tabs out and back in again It’s a little thing, but it warms my heart. You can drag a tab out of Chrome into a separate window, and you can drag a separate window back into tab bar, where it’ll be happily received by Chrome. Stuff like this turns geeks into converts, and Google’s dev team knows that.
New Firefox JavaScript Engine is faster than Chrome's V8 ...Check this Out
One of the most impressive features in Google's open source Chrome web browser is V8, a high-performance JavaScript virtual machine that was developed by a team of specialists in Denmark. Although Chrome's performance beats the current stable version of Firefox, benchmarks show that Mozilla's next-generation JavaScript engine actually outperforms V8. Mozilla is using tracing optimization techniques and Adobe's open source nanojit to increase the execution speed of SpiderMonkey, the JavaScript runtime engine in the Firefox web browser. The new engine, which is called TraceMonkey, delivers unprecedented JavaScript performance. The new optimizations have already landed in the latest Firefox nightly builds (but still have to be manually enabled) and will likely be included in Firefox 3.1. JavaScript creator and Mozilla CTO Brendan Eich ran the SunSpider JavaScript benchmarks against Chrome and the latest TraceMonkey-enabled Firefox build, which includes some recent improvements. The benchmarks show that TraceMonkey is clearly faster than Google's V8. Mozilla believes that the optimization technique used in TraceMonkey has the potential to unlock even more performance improvements. "As we continue to trace unrecorded bytecode and operand combinations, we will only get faster," Eich wrote in a blog entry. "What spectators have to realize is that this contest is not a playoff where each contending VM is eliminated at any given hype-event point. We believe that Franz & Gal-style tracing has more 'headroom' than less aggressively speculative approaches, due to its ability to specialize code, making variables constant and eliminating dead code and conditions at runtime, based on the latent types inherent in almost all JavaScript programs." Eich also praises Chrome. He says that the V8 JavaScript engine is "very-well engineered" and he describes the multiprocess design as "righteous". The results of the benchmark show that Mozilla is still a powerful force to be reckoned with in the browser space and that they will continue to innovate and remain relevant as new companies enter the market.
Ajith Shalini Daughter Anouksha with Surya Jyothika Daughter Diya
Diya, daughter of Surya and Jyotika. Kollywood couple Surya and Jyothika celebrated the first birthday of their daughter Diya in style at Taj’s Fisherman Cove on Sunday (August 10) evening. Diya had the blessings of all the close members of the family and also her own special birthday cake. Diya is said to be a very bubbly girl and Surya and Jyotika take turns in looking after little Diya. The well pampered daughters of bigwigs in Kollywood met up during the special occasion that captured the attention of entire gathering. Yes! It was during the occasion of 1st birthday of Surya-Jyothika’s daughter Diya where who’s who of Kollywood was present.
The most loved couple Ajith-Shalini was present for the occasion along with their sweet daughter Anouksha. Both the small kids, who couldn’t even utter words properly, started speaking in their own language that wasn’t perceptible by the biggies. Both of them were spending good time and Director Gowtham who was present there for the occasion enjoyed watching them together.

Top 13 Vampire Babes
There really is something about a girl with a pasty complexion, long fangs and an unhealthy desire to suck your blood dry.
OK, so put like that, it sounds a bit odd. But there’s little doubt that vampires can be very sexy.
Admittedly, Dracula never did anything for us. But whether it’s Kate Beckinsale in a tight leather bodysuit or Salma Hayek dancing with a snake, these damsels of the dark are worth getting into a flap about…
13. Sadie Frost as Lucy
Film: Bram Stoker’s Dracula
Yeah, we can’t stand her either, but obviously there is something about bloodsucking which really agrees with her.
12. Anne Parillaud as Marie
Film: Innocent Blood
French beauty Parillaud is so good you almost forget how bad the film is. Don’t believe us? It’s basically The Lost Boys meets The Sopranos. Now are you convinced?
11. Angie Everhart as Lilith
Film: Bordello of Blood
Angie gives a stand out performance as a vampire hooker.
10. Soledad Miranda as Countess Nadine Carody
Film: Vampyros Lesbos
Vampires. Lesbians. Need we say anymore?
9. Catherine Deneuve as Miriam Blaylock
Film: The Hunger
Catherine Deneuve indulges in a bit of lesbian vampire action, unfortunately with old vinegar tits Susan Sarandon.
8. Aaliyah as Queen Akasha
Film: Queen of the Damned
OK, the film sucked shit through a straw, but Aaliyah looks amazing in her final appearance before her untimely death.
7. Jeri Ryan as Valerie Sharpe
Film: Dracula 2000
She’s more famous being in Star Trek, but she looks pretty good as a vampire too. Excuse the foreign language clip, but you get the point.
6. Leonor Varela as Nyssa
Film: Blade II
Forget the fact she can’t act for toffee and shares her name with a fabric conditioner, Varela makes a fang-statistic vampire in Blade II.
5. Monica Bellucci as one of Dracula’s brides
Film: Bram Stoker’s Dracula
Look, it could have been any of the three, but we would settle for Monica Bellucci. Excuse the long intro to this clip, but it’s worth it.
4. Olga Kurylenko as The Vampire
Film: Paris, je t’aime
The new Bond girl makes quite an impression as a blood-sucking vamp in this 2006 French film. Above is the trailer, blink and you’ll miss her.
3. Ingrid Pitt as Elisabeth Nodosheen
Film: Countess Dracula
Hammer horror’s finest. No vampire list would be the same without her.
2. Kate Beckinsale as Selene
Film: Underworld
We’re not huge fans of Kate Beckinsale or Underworld, but there is something about her role as Selene which stands out.
1. Salma Hayek as Santanico Pandemonium
Film: From Dusk Till Dawn
One of those movie moments that stick in your head.
Honorable mentions:
Sharon Tate as Sarah in the Fearless Vampire Killers
Jami Gertz as Star in The Lost Boys
Traci Lords as Racquel in Blade
Jenny Wright from Near Dark
Amanda Donahoe as Lady Sylvia-Marsh in The Lair of the White Worm
Tennis player Sania Mirza and Shahid Kapoor in Love
Ironically it was Vidya Balan who was most delighted by the spotting because while the hapless girl has been shouting herself hoarse claiming she is single and 'very much' ready to mingle but tabloids continued to insist she and Shahid Kapoor were an item.
The initial Shahid and Sania spotting failed to create a buzz, perhaps because a lot of skeptics attributed it to happenstance.
After his opening gig at the Star Gold's Idea Sabsey Favorite Kaun 2008 awards, Sunday, December 23, 2007, Taj Lands End, Shahid headed straight for his rendezvous with Sania. "Shahid and Sania very much looked like a couple. They were completely engrossed in each other, and were oblivious of what was happening around them," an eyewitness told Mumbai Mirror. A close friend of Shahid confirmed what the eyewitness had to say.
"Yes, Shahid did spend time with Sania on Sunday. They have been bonding very well with each other," the friend said. We are betting that Vidya Balan will now sleep even better than she has been sleeping after the first Shahid - Sania spotting. What we are worried about is that any Bollywood hunk who gets linked to Vidya soon moves on to a steady relationship with another girl. It happened with Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham and now Shahid Kapoor.
