Well it's tremendous Thursday kids! Let's look and see what's out there today.
In techie-style news, we see the creator of Craigslist is finally pissed off and suing the South Carolina Attorney General for all the prosecution threats. And they say prostitution is a victimless crime.
Also, GameStop (our favorite purveyor of video games) is giving a doom-and-gloom prediction of its stability in the market, even after a positive first quarter.
And while Google along with many in the tech community are balking at Microsoft's new "Kumo" search engine, Eric Schmidt (Google CEO) is 86'ing the notion of buying a newspaper.
How about some cool tech stuff now? Yeah, let's see what we got.
Engadget is buzzing about a new Transforming Laser Mouse from Trypticon. Looks pretty cool, but are we really comfortable with the $60 price tag? You be the judge.
Also this morning from Engadget, a very cool shot of the new Tawain National Stadium, upcoming host of the 2009 World Games, getting a shiny sparkling new Solar Panel roof. Containing almost 9,000 photovoltaic solar panels, the $152 million stadium will draw enough power from the solar roof to cover 75% of its energy usage on a sunny day. When not in use, the stadium's panels are still hard at work, feeding the local community's power grid with the surplus sunshine.
Then we've got good ol' Gizmodo, featuring a very cool article about Sony's new 400-disc Blu Ray Changer. If you're gonna have a Blu Ray player, and you like to collect movies, you might as well have 400 slots for your discs. It'll be a while before you have to swap anything out, and when that day comes you can either say "Wow I have more than 400 blu ray discs"... OR ... "Okay we've had this #$!&ing thing for five years can we just get the digital media player".
And finally.......Do you know what time it is? Good luck with that question if you decide to adorn your wrist with the new Storm Synth watch. Very cool, sleek chrome watches establish a new precedent in form, with a deceitful approach in its functionality. Those decoy clock hands may just get you into some hot water if caught off guard on the street when a passer-by asks if you 'happen to have the time'. Try not to stutter.
