The new Tilt phone by cingular is pretty high tech. It has wi-fi, Bluetooth capabilities, a 3.0 mega camera. It also has GPS for those of you who get lost! It runs on AT&T's 3G system and can also read word documents. Although the phone has great technology, it is not the most stylish phone. It comes in silver and black and is pretty large and heavy. You can think of it as a small lap top, which is cool. The keyboard is easy to use and resembles a computer or lap top keyboard. Make sure to carry the battery around with you, especially if you are a big media user because it does not last very long. This phone seems pretty cool to me.

If countries on the other side of the world decide to have a nuclear war, we would not be safe from harm. Although India and Pakistan are far away, they are not far away enough to prevent us from damage. The power of the nuclear explosives will not only tear holes in the ozone, but it will produce cancerous rays. There would be significantly increased rates of cancer, crop damage, cataracts, and damage to the ecosystems. No country would be safe.

Yesterday was Earth Day and Google showed its support by blacking out its homepage. Using the slogan "We've turned the lights out," Google supported Earth Hour world wide and shut the lights off in their companies and residences from 8-9 PM last night. The reason they don't stay black is because doing so does not conserve any energy on the screen; it was simply just used to support the environment on Earth Day.

The game Viking is incredibly addictive. This is the only thing the game is 'good' at. This game is very gruesome and gory. It lures the players on to continuing playing to the next level. Each task is crazier than the next and usually more bloody. The graphics and visuals are intense. However, the game is not all about slashing and killing; it involves being sneaky and stealthy. If you do not choose your paths carefully you will be ambushed and die. The creators of this game really focused on the addictive quality to make people play longer.

These images and flashing animations cause people to have terrible epileptic seizures and head aches. The images are meant to trigger both pattern sensitive and photosensitive patients. The site will be closed down until they webmasters can figure out the problem. This is absolutely terrible.

Yahoo was thinking about taking Microsoft's 44.6 billion bid. It is crazy to think about what will happen if they accept it. Microsoft thinks acquiring Yahoo will further their success on the Internet. Some sites have also been slow to enable advertisements on their pages. Yahoo thinks that the 44.6 billion dollar offer is too low, and undervalues their company. Now we have to look at Microsoft and see if they will offer Yahoo more money or find a way to do better on their own.

If you thought the typical cars, vans, boats, planes, bikes, and jets were the only way to travel, you were mistaken. Les Machines de l'ile de Nantes is a collection of gigantic mechanical animal vehicles that are currently on display in the French city of Nantes. They are more than models, they actually move and carry people around in them. These 'animals' even have mimicked life-like movements to make them seem more real. An elephant, giant squid, manta-ray and prehistoric dinosaur/reptilian fish are the current examples of these animal vehicles. Designed by François Delarozière and Pierre Orefice, this is definitely one cool exhibition.

If you have ever had problems with taking notes, there is a new device that can aid your frustrations. Some people have trouble shortening what they hear into note form, some people have teachers who talk too fast, and some people have teachers who are just too boring to listen to. The Pulse, a new smart pen out on the market is the ultimate pen with ears and a brain. For a costly price of $150-$199, you can write and record simultaneously. This allows the reader to jot down brief notes, but also capture the entirety of what was said at a certain moment of time. Combining the four main levels of human communication: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, it allows for audio/visual input and output. It has a mobile USB charging cradle to store information and the paper used is called Paper Replay. This dotted paper allows you to record and re-record notes and messages.

Apple decided to upgrade MacBook's efficiency by adding another drive. The new MacBooks are going to have increased storage space and memory with two drives instead of one. The idea of MacBook Air's touchpad might very well also come become an addition to MacBook Pros and newer MacBooks. The idea is to enable greater performance, durability, and battery life while only taking up the space of an iPod drive. The question remains unanswered on exactly what will be the best way to do this.

Although HD put up an admirable struggle, it seems like the final nail in HD DVDs coffin may have been driven earlier this week as New Line Cinemas went exclusively to Blu Ray formatted disks. With Paramount's exclusivity contract expiring and even Universal looking over the fence, Blu Ray's sales dominance will only increase. Adding a little more fervency to the whispers of defeat was HD DVD's absence from CES 2008, with nothing but a little backpack embroidery to count for attendance. There are already a few HD DVD player price drops online to try and win a little support, but the increasing sales of the Sony PS3 and the aforementioned developments seem to make that move almost futile.
