Onda VX777 Boasts WiFi, Net RadioThe VX777 is Onda’s best PMP so far feature-wise. In what seems like a features overdose of sorts, Onda, which is known for its widescreen PMPs, has gone ballistic and automatically nominated itself to the high-end market populated by the likes of Archos and Zune. The 4.3-inch (480 x 272) touchscreen is on of the biggest we’ve seen on any iPhone/ iPod Touch clone or iPhone-like device. The VX777, like most Chinese players, supports a plethora of media files but the addition Internet Radio seems a little like overkill - not that we aren’t ecstatic about it.With support for RM/RMVB, AVI, FLV, ASF, MP4, MPG, MOV, WMA, WMV, 3GP and SWF, the 16GB option, which is available for the VX777, will come in handy and so will the TF card expansion supporting up to

We all love things much more simple in our busy lives these days, so that’s why many of us eat fast food, microwave food or just prefer to eat out.

It was only late March when the Atheist Blogroll hit 600 blogs, and it is now approaching 700. Think about that for a minute. There are nearly 700 atheist-oriented blogs. Could it be that growing numbers of atheists are no longer content to sit on the sidelines but have something to say about the oppressively religious cultures in which many find ourselves?If we can even begin to organize our our numbers, harnessing our energy, creativity, and other talents, we could give voice to atheism in a way we have not yet witnessed. If the authors of the blogs appearing on the Atheist Blogroll can be thought of as a sort of grassroots, this would be an excellent place to start. What can we do to bring this collection of bloggers together and maximize our influence?Tags: Atheist Blogroll, atheist, b

Unfortunately, if you live outside of Korea, the chances of you ever managing to pick up D’Cube’s new, rather swanky D9 PMP is wholly remote (unless via import) which is a shame as D’Cube’s new portable media player is somewhat of a gem both in terms of aesthetics and functionality - and especially price.

Not withstanding the fact that Philips’ definition of ‘retro’ is somewhat different to our own, the PT44434 Retro Inspired Ultra Slim Digital appears to be aimed squarely at consumers looking for a cheap point and shoot camera that will tuck easily away in the smallest of bags and, with all due respect to Philips, that’s about it.

The British website The List runs a short profile of the overrated Mark Millar, and predictably, they sugarcoat and sensationalize his career at Marvel in the past couple years: Millar himself was ‘poached by the Americans’ to co-write Swamp Thing with Grant Morrison at DC. However it was with The Authority (a subversive take on the Justice League of America) that he first realised his potential.

In a new add released by Hillary Clinton, she boasts about "The Republican Attack Machine" and implies that it is because they fear her the most.She's both right and wrong on this one.Yes the thoughts of Hillary being president is scarier than anything Edgar Allen Poe ever wrote.However the fear of Hillary winning the general election is actual very minimal. I would like to think that most voters don't appreciate Hillary's shady campaign finances or the fact that she is void of any stable stance on any given issue.My favorite part of the commercial is where she deems herself the one candidate that will cut the "huge Republican deficit". That's flat out hillary-ous!If you have problems viewing this video, click here.

They started with 54 available condos at the 210 South Street condo development in the Leather District, and they now have 11. The development team has been coming up with new buyer incentives what seems like every quarter that the remaining units go unsold, including some significant price reductions back in August. Currently, when you buy a 210 South Street loft-style condo, the development team will pay for one year of condo fees and one year of rental parking. Depending on what unit you are looking at, this could add up to almost $10,000 - would you rather just have the money? The 11 remaining unit are priced from $575,000 to $1,450,000, and range in size from 1,119 to 2,759 square feet. The penthouse level has exquisite arched windows, with excellent views of the city. For more information on 210 South Street, or other Leather District condos and lofts, contact us.

"It's really not hard to make up stuff," grinned David Weightman, 28, talking about how he had convinced psychiatrists he was hearing voices to receive a lighter sentence for the murder of his adoptive parents in their Sydney. Australia home.  Weightman received  25 years on the grounds of "diminished responsibility" rather than the life sentence he would have otherwise received.   Appearing in the Supreme Court jury murder trial of his alleged accomplice, Terry Donai, Weightman reported that he and that he and Donai had discussed the fact that as he was an only child and would inherit from his parents' deaths. The murder plan involved Weightman drugging his parents and that Donai would then smother them.  On the night of January 8, 2000, Weightman put several sleeping tablets into his parents' tea and was outside their house when he heard his mother scream from her bedroom. Donai had emerged from the house "stinking like death&quo

Princeton Technology continues its slew of NAS (Network-attached Storage) devices, this time with the PEC-NAV500. Unlike other units from the same company, this one includes a 500GB drive right out of the box.Like those drive-less bases, the PEC-NAV500 utilizes a iTunes server and includes DiXiM media server client from DigiOn, allowing for supreme media connectivity. Additionally, Princeton has managed to shove in a spare USB port, in case you want a networked printer or even more space.Heat that is generated within the aluminum case will be well scattered, says Princeton, and has a fan if things get out of hand.The PEC-NAV500 should hit Japan sometime this month for around $276.

Media Temple, a well known hosting provider, has recently rolled out a beta version of their control panel made just for the iPhone. Judging from the number of folks who sent this to us (thanks to all of you!) there seems to be a large, and until now, untapped market of people who want to be able to register a domain from anywhere.Aside from registering domains you can also restart services, pay your bill, add email addresses, and submit a tech support ticket. I'm not a Media Temple customer myself, nor do I own an iPhone (and we all know how I feel about iPhone specific web apps) but I must admit this looks slick. You can access the iPhone version of Media Temple's control panel here.

Does the words terabyte club mean anything to you; well it looks like Trekstor want to join them with their new TrekStor 1TB DataStation duo w.u external USB hard drive. The size gives this away really but just in case you do not know this product has two yes two 500GB hard drives stacked on top of each other (nice). Even thou there are 2 stacked on top of each other you will still only see 1 show up on your PC, it is not the best in the world and considering what is out on the market this one is still pretty standard, it does thou include Nero BackItUp2 Essentials software and a cool looking aluminum housing that apparently reduces the heat factor. Yours for only $430. Source Written by Mark for Product ReviewsIn Sections: Computers, Hard Drives, Storage

Giuliani's cache boasts big names - The PoliticoExcerpt:"Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani may be running for the GOP presidential nomination as a Washington outsider, but you'd never know it from the list of lobbyist insiders raising money for him.Giuliani has collected more lobbyist bundlers -- 20 -- than any other major candidate who is accepting help from the community. He beat Republican challenger Sen. John McCain's number of 12 and, on the Democratic side, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's half-dozen lobbyist helpers.While Giuliani clocks in with more hands on deck, that hasn't translated into more money. Clinton still leads in that category, pulling in $234,550 to Giuliani's $100,950, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.Unlike the other major campaigns, the Giuliani camp did not release its bundlers list. The names below were culled from news articles and a campaign list obtained by The Politico. A campaign spokeswoman did not respond to interview requests.

There is nowhere quite like Cape Town. It is in Africa, and of Africa, but yet so different. Perched between the ocean and the mountain and with a South African National Park as its heart, this cosmopolitan centre is steeped in history, cultural diversity and is fast becoming one of the world’s most sought after destinations. As the oldest city in South Africa, it has a cultural heritage spanning more than 300 years and offers beautiful beaches, seaside resorts, panoramic drives, inland wine farms and spectacular scenery.
