Earlier this year the epic battle for the next-gen disc technology was finally ended with Blu-ray becoming the victor. However, I’m still not convinced that a new disc technology is what the industry really needs. With high-speed internet more widely available than ever before and hard drive sizes reaching over 1TB, it only seems logical that we’ll turn to digital distribution with movies, just as we’ve done with music.

I own an Asus Eee PC 701 - one of the “original” models of the hyper-popular Eee PC released by Asustek this past fall and I absolutely love it. Sure, the screen could’ve been bigger - but I’ve been more than satisfied by this little dynamo. And, as 
With the flood of oil money, Dubai is a hotspot for construction with extravagant buildings being built on what was once a barren desert wasteland. The skyline has changed so much over the last 10 years compared to many other cities around the world, with ever higher skyscrapers being planned and built to wow even the most seasoned traveler. There is a new project coming up that not only ranks right up there where luxury is concerned, it will also boast architectural genius with the ability to generate up to 10 times the power it will use. Want to know more? Head on after the jump to find out.
The Transportation Security Administration on Friday have announced that it will begin a run of pilot tests of millimeter wave scanning technology at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). These millimeter wave scanners enable TSA personnel to see concealed weapons and other items that may be hidden beneath clothes, a thought that will come across as uncomfortable to some folk. The first pilot test began in October at Phoenix Sky-Harbor International Airport last year, and TSA Administrator Kip Hawley has given reassurances that the agency’s main goal is to protect passenger privacy without storing any potentially revealing body scans. It’s their word that ordinary folk like you and I have to trust, so I guess it is time to hit the treadmill unless TSA employees want to throw up their lunch after seeing my six pack rolled into one.
Fret not if you’ve picked up an HD DVD player before 23rd February (presumably out of curiousity, since Toshiba has already pretty much thrown in the towel by then) as Amazon will give a $50 credit to all customers who did so. This credit is valid until 9 April 2009, but will be accompanied by several provisions such as forbidding the purchase of goods from third-party merchants on the site and will not be eligible for special-order titles, e-books or downloadable e-content, wireless service plans, gift certificates, gift-wrap, taxes, or shipping and handling charges. Those (for some strange reason or another) who picked up more than one player will be able to redeem the $50 credit for each player, with a maximum of up to 10 units.
