After three years away from the game, Miami rapper Trina is ready to show everybody that she hasn't lost her edge as she gears up to release her latest album, Still The Baddest. The Diamond Princess linked with R&B superstar Keyshia Cole for her latest single, "I Gotta Thing For You." The album, which is her fourth solo set, is the follow-up disc to her 2005 release, Glamorest Life. With a new record on the horizon, Trina has been busy setting the record straight on several rumors that have been circulating, including her relationship with Lil' Wayne and one that suggests that she and Missy Elliot are more than just friends. "At first I was bothered," Trina said in a previous interview with SOHH. "Missy is a mentor to me, I came into this game and I looked up to her.

What exactly can gamers expect in a post Skate world, then? Activision isn't talking specifics, but the Proving Ground follow-up will deliver "new thrills," reports USA Today.While last year's game was fair from being a playable failure, Tony Hawk's Proving Ground felt stale and antiquated when compared to EA's Skate with its inventive thumbstick controls. As a result, Skate outsold Tony Hawk 2 to 1 last year, despite launching on three fewer systems.The Ve

How Biofuels Increase Carbon Emissions
Science Blog offers interesting criticism of the use of biofuels by way of a report from the University of Minnesota and the Nature Conservancy that says use of biofuels can actually speed up global warming where natural ecosystems are converted to biofuel farmland. The existing flora, it turns out, is better at processing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than the stock used for ethanol and biodiesel, worsening the climate change balance.

ASUS's foray into to the mobile market might be recent but it's gaining more steam and is starting to give some serious competition to the already established players in the mobile industry. You might remember the phones already available in India from ASUS, all based on Windows Mobile. The latest product from ASUS's loins is the M930W with its sleek, a la communicator looks. Although it looks almost similar to the Nokia's successful business phone, E90, the basic and the most important difference is its operating system, namely Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional compared to E90's Symbian S60 operating system. It also sports the similar flip-open form factor with both an external and internal screen.It boasts a powerful Marvel PXA270M 520MHz processor, 256MB ROM, and 128MB RAM. On the connect
Jeep readies rugged GPS RT 300 for January releaseIt's a Jeep-branded GPS -- did you really expect it to look any less barbaric?

The GPS RT 300 is slated to launch sometime next month for $399, and in exchange for payment you can expect a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen, an integrated media / text viewer, one million POIs, turn-by-turn voice guidance and loads of off-road credibility. Okay, so that last feature isn't guaranteed, but we feel tougher just looking at it.(Via Engadget.)
Audi has done well with Lucire’s annual Car to Be Seen in, being its inaugural winner at the turn of the century. And its latest model, the A3 Cabriolet, could fare well when it hits streets in February 2008 in Germany.
It’s more cohesive in appearance than the A4 Cabriolet, which I had the pleasure of driving in March. The A4 I had was the car assigned to Audi marketing manager Rachel Jones, so I felt rather privileged—especially as I was putting ks on to it before she could.
When I was in Christchurch testing the S5, I was pleased to note that the boss at the city’s Audi dealer, Archibalds on Manchester, Eric Swinbourne, was a fan of compact cars, especially the A3. We shared a view that it was a lot harder making a decent small car than a decent big one, in terms of packaging and cost. And he was enthusiastic about the A3’s arrival—and I can see why.
The A4 Cabrio will in essence be replaced by two cars: the A3 you see here and an A5 model next year

Disney star Miley Cyrus is going on tour this fall. The teen sensation is busy preparing for what’s sure to be an interesting show, as she’ll be performing the dual role of herself and Hannah Montana (her Disney alter-ego) for the first time.The current schedule for the 14-year old rising star calls for 54 stops on the tour, titled “The Best of Both Worlds.” Tickets for the concerts are being released in batches, with the initial push containing the first 17 dates immediately selling out upon release. Meanwhile, tickets for the remaining dates are scheduled to go on sale starting September 15th."It’s pretty exciting,” says Debra Rathwell, senior vice president of tour promoter AEG Live. “It’s very fast-selling. She could go around the country for two years and not meet the demand. There is that much pressure from the public for tickets.”Part of the mass appeal for the concert is the support that Miley gets from her co-star, country singer and father, Billy Ray Cyrus.

The United States is readying a major arms package for Saudi Arabia with an eye to countering a changing threat from Iran, a senior US defense official said Friday.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates is expected to discuss the US recommendations with the Saudis next week in a visit to the kingdom with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the official said.
“We’ve been working very hard on the Saudi arms package, which we believe is critical to the overarching architecture that we believe we are going to need … to deal with the changing strategic threat from Iran and other forces,” the official said.
The official who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity said discussions with Congress on the arms package have just begun and that no announcements were expected during Gates’ visit to Saudi Arabia.

SAN FRANCISCO: Intel will demonstrate an experimental computer chip Monday with 80 separate processing engines, or cores, that company executives said provided a model for commercial chips that would be used widely in standard desktop, laptop and server computers within five years.While the chip is not compatible with Intel's current chips, the company said it had already begun design work on a commercial version that would essentially have dozens or even hundreds of Intel-compatible microprocessors laid out in a tiled pattern on a single chip.The chip design is intended to exploit a generation of manufacturing technology that the company introduced last month. Intel said it had changed the basic design of transistors in such a way that it would be able to continue to shrink them — offering lower power and higher speeds — for at least another half decade or more.Nitan Borkar, one of the chip's designers, showed an air-cooled computer based on the chip running a simple scientific
