I thought Barbie had enough accessories, but apparently I'm wrong. She now has an MP3 player roughly shaped like herself. What makes this MP3 oh-so-special and exclusive for your little girl? It plugs into a dock that will unlock a slew of pages that include games an chat rooms. These pages can't be accessed without the MP3 player. I guess there goes 'sharing is caring'.
“Over the next few years, you’ll see a lot of companies finding ways to
create products that are Web enabled,” said, Marc Rosenberg, chief
marketing officer at Zizzle.

We're all familiar with the fairly high-tech fingerprint scanning. More recently, we aren't so pleased with the technology. Say someone wants to break into your print-protected PC. Simple; all they have do is cut off your finger and they're in! That may not be so realistic, but supposedly the MythBusters crew fooled a print scanner with a simple Xerox copy of a fingerprint. I'm not saying it's easy, but we can do better; such is the scientific way.

Having a stutter has to be frustrating, not to mention underestimated. Until recently, a stutter couldn't be cured. This is difficult for the stutterer, as they cannot sufficiently express themselves without breaking up. Some cases are more mild while others are quite severe, really meddling with life. A new device has a rather unpredicted method of potentially stopping the stutter, or close to it.

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.

Thought the iPhone was perfect (or perhaps just Apple)? It's often perceived that these devices are immune to viruses or hacks. Apparently, the iPhone is vulnerable. The New York Times has been so kind as to inform us that these fantastic phones can, indeed, be attacked by hackers.
The word is, there's a flaw with the device that presents hackers with the oh-so tempting opportunity to take over your phone.

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).

With ordering your wine being outlawed in some areas, home brewing has become pretty appealing. If nothing else, some people really enjoy that do-it-yourself feeling. Or perhaps, you think wine will taste the best if it was of your own creation. Either way, there's a solution that isn't going to completely change your lifestyle (or change it at all, for that matter). If it sounds like you, then you're interested in the

Moller International have been working on bringing us affordable flying vehicles for more than 30 years, and it seems that the first of these is very close to being available. The M200G is capable of flying up to 10 feet above any surface, including land, water, sand, swamp and snow.
