Miss IFA with your?fake?red hair, Miss IFA with your?real?long legs, Miss IFA with your really big Philips and Swarovski Active Crystals... how much do we love thee? Let me count the ways. One, because you put the "Miss" in IFA. Two, because of the way your sweet voice sounds when you tell us "zee Active Crystals Happy Laura USB memory bracelet iz not werking rait, sorry." It's like listening to a Valkyrie singing like an angel in a Wagner opera. But you don't make us want to invade Poland. And you know that's good, Miss IFA. Because invading Poland is wrong. Anyway, don't worry about the 2GB Happy Laura or the Naughty Raymond. It's not your fault. Nothing is.

The new ZF Series LCDs include Cell processors and Toshiba's home grown Resolution+ technology, which does similar edge and detail enhancement to Toshiba's XDE upscaler -- sharpening detail, smoothing edges, and leaving the rest of the image alone -- but with the added fun of Cell power in the mix. As for the actual displays, Toshiba will be shipping the 40ZF575D (40-inch) and the 46ZF575D (46-inch), both offering 1080p, 30,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 6ms response times and Active Vision M100 HD 100Hz 5:5 pulldown processin...http://www.allgadget.com/go/4-a36fcb135fa2b827d83ec546e0dc73caThe new Nikon D90 DSLR camera has just been announced and definitely will be one of the hottest selling SLR cameras this Holiday season.

Yet somehow, it’s been almost two years before they finally released the beta mode of Internet Explorer 8 just today. Some will hurrah, some will cringe, some won’t care one way or the other. But...it’s out...and along with actually seeming to be an improvement over the previous version...it’s pretty clear that the folks at Microsoft are also using their latest browser as a clever little way to try to take over some Google ground. I admit, I’m a diehard Firefox user. And when I checked out IE8 beta, I immediately recognized the same thing others seem to ...http://www.allgadget.com/go/9-5443330f3b02ee267717752747a3ad0bWe have seen our fair share of LP conversion devices in the past, but the LP 2 CD this time round takes a different route by converting all your old records into CD format directly, all without the need for a PC. Step up, the LP 2 CD: a one-stop-shop for popping your 33, 45 and 78 rpm records direct to compact disc, with zero bother. And because it doesn’t need to run through a computer, you can hook it up to a pair of speakers to use like a regular stereo for records and compact discs. The LP 2 CD cuts out the middleman by incorporating a flash memory and CD burner, so you never need to connect to a PC or Mac at all; it’s all right in one place with no cables for the mice to nibble through. Just whack your old vinyl platters on...http://www.allgadget.com/go/18-03ca39ec6a24bbb95ca7986eef6393c8 By Andrew Liszewski Most teens can’t wait for the day when they’re old enough to drive. I was just the opposite. In fact, it was my parents who eventually forced me to go to driver’s ed, which turned out to be a really crappy way to spend a Summer.

They stick him the hard question?what is the WCG doing to combat the growing problem of pro gamers gaining advantage by popping some uppers or hitting the bong prior to fragging? His answer: Um, what? Says Alex: Gamers can take all the drugs they like, as long as it's not happening in the actual tournament area. Nobody has the budget to bring in any form of anti-doping agency, let alone keep it afloat or professional enough to adhere to standards that would make it reliable. The scene isn't...http://www.allgadget.com/go/2-ad6c5c7f3b548f756df2f1e888577f7cFiled under: TransportationFirst things first -- when we say "partially" propel, we mean partially. Nippon Yusen and energy distributor Nippon Oil are teaming up to spend around $1.37 million in order to equip a car-hauling cargo ship with 328 solar panels. Rather than just provide energy for the crew's on board entertainment system, it will be the first solar installation to actually produce a smidgen of power for the boat's engine. If successful, the panels would provide 0.2% of the ship's energy consumption for propulsion, and they're hoping to raise that to a whopping 1% by 2010.

In fact, it can be summed up in a sentence: "A Christian Guitar Hero". Why not? After all, Christians have their own genre of music with Christian Rock, so why not have a game where they can play along? I'm guessing this is a way to get the conservative Christian crowd on the Guitar Hero bandwagon. If this is something that is up your alley, then you should be able to try it out when it is released in mid-September for about $100. If you like it, and want a friend to join in, feel free to shell out another $70 for another guitar. Source See full article.
