If you aren't familiar with Denon Electronics, they manufacture different kinds of home entertainment systems/components. A popular line of theirs is the S-Series, and that series is now being updated with two new compact 2.1 systems. Models include S-302 (SRP: $1,699), and S-102 (SRP: $999). Both of these are taking entertainment systems to a better, more convenient level with more options than your run-of-the-mill set.

We've seen a rapidly-increasing number of attempts at "going green" lately, backed by the huge population looking to buy off their global warming woes. This is one of the goofier methods I've seen/heard to date, and I'm having trouble taking it seriously. Here's a quote to sum up the new-age flying concept at hand:
"I want to get rid of the image of a cylindrical body with wings," said
Etnel Straatsma of Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands.

Tivo HD has been released, and the verdict is a good one. I suppose now would be a good time for me to stop with the "Right after I get TiVo" joke.
This is built on the Series3 platform, but it isn't really an update. To compare the two, Series3 has a 250GB drive (300 hours standard-def video & 32 hours HD) while Mr. TiVo HD has just a 160GB drive (180 hours SD & 20 hours HD).

Here's a nice quote from Gizmodo that pretty much sums this baby up:
"Nice Lexus. Oh, what's this? Just a ROBOTIC LEG. But really, your car is quite nice. Cup holders and everything."
But seriously, the C-Leg has to be the coolest I've ever seen. It's a microprocessor-controlled hydraulic limb, complete with a wireless remote control.

I'm really not a big fan of the whole iPod gear craze. Everyone's dressing their iPods better than they dress themselves, and a lot of it is overpriced hoo-ha. On that note, I also don't like Disney very much, especially when they mess with technology. From Disney CDs to Disney phones, I just can't stand the concept.
That said, they made something that is almost kind of neat; your kids will certainly like it, anyway.

You've no doubt noticed all of the new technology in security over the years. To date, we've been able to get very Hollywood with these security approaches, utilizing tools such as voice and fingerprint identifiers. It seemed cool to me a while back, and now I'm not alone by saying that I can see the ugly other side of that coin.
On July 19, NEC announced its newly-developed border control system.

Theres nothing quite like a nice cool draught beer on a Friday afternoon, or any day for that matter! Thats why I love this Beer Cooler made by Wunderbar, it chills your beer to a perfect temperature and then lets you pour yourself a refreshing pint with as little or as much head as you like.

I've seen a lot of goofy gadgets in the past couple of days (the kind that make me want to carve my eyes out), so thank God for this beautiful gaming laptop, the
Voodoo ENVY H:171. Do I envy its owners? Oh yes.
For gaming, I tend to think Alienware without hesitation. I have to say, though, Voodoo is really impressing me here.

Apparently, we're all so stressed out in this day and time that we overeat, can't sleep, and we need gadgets and magic-bullet pills to regulate all of this. We know that much, don't we? There's a lot of hype about stress relief that I don't really buy. I'm into taking walks and actually breathing. Can't sleep? I could name plenty of books that will take you right to dreamland.
