First Superman Comic Sells For $317K

Wow and who said reading comic books was a waste of time? Collecting comic books seems like a worthwhile investment from where I'm standing. It's a shame I used to have the "Death of Superman" now I think I should probably hunt for it and see if it has some market value.

A rare copy of the first comic book featuring Superman has sold for $317,200 - one of the highest prices ever paid for a comic book, in an Internet auction. The previous owner had bought it secondhand for $0.35, now that's a great deal if I do say so myself.

If he had waited a few more years, this might have reached half a million! But still I have to say this was a good price altogether

Have you seen the new iPod Shuffle?

Half the size and still less than $100, the iPod shuffle just keeps getting better and better... or is smaller and smaller?

What's cool here is that it stores 4 gigabytes which is equivalent to about a thousand songs. It also has a voice over feature now that tells you which song is playing as well as how much battery you've got left. They're calling it the new Apple virtual DJ - that's quite cool, it should sound like Apple's Mac, he's quite cute.

The new iPod shuffle can do this in 14 different languages too! Beat that! I can barely speak the one that's supposed to be my native tongue. It should though, given that there's no space for a screen since it's now really really tiny. It comes in silver or black which is nice and safe

Banning Barbie. Will it work?

A West Virginia lawmaker wants to ban Barbie in some lame attempt to "save" kids from the image influence of Barbie

"I just hate the image that we want to give to our kids - that you're beautiful - you're beautiful - you don't have to be smart," West Virginia Delegate Jeff Eldridge says of Barbie.
Well it's too late for that. Fifty years later, Barbie is hotter than ever. Although it's true and sad that sometimes it has to come to those perfect pouty lips, shapely breasts and perfectly proportional figure - but we can't do much anymore. Barbie is Barbie. The brand has withstood the test of time

"Barbie is really a longstanding, and sort of complicated cultural icon and I think there are many ways Barbie could be viewed," Frayda Cohen, a professor of women's studies at the University of Pittsburgh, said.

Parents: Protect Your Kids Online With PG KEY

Here's a new product that aims to protect kids online. With instances such as cyber-bullying, internet predators and inappropriate social networking becoming more and more rampant online, it gets much more difficult or impossible to prevent filtering what children see unless parents are sitting right beside them. There are many methods to block websites and content, but most of these solutions only address a small part of the problem.

According to a recent study, children and teens spend an average of 3 hours a day on the internet - in an online world where you, as a parent, are mostly excluded. The FBI and parenting experts have been very clear on the subject - parents MUST become more involved and aware of what their kids are doing online.

PG Key plugs into any USB port on the computer in use. Similar to a car key, the key must be inserted in order for the child to "drive" onto the internet.

When PG Key is in the computer, a combination of content filters, activity recording and alert notifications are enabled for the internet session. These features allow parents to enforce the rules they set for their kids' safe computer use.

Such concerns as Key's unique recording feature allows parents to playback any internet session. PG Key puts the "parent in the room" even when they can't be there. It's like breaching your child's privacy. Available for $59.95 at www.PGKEY.com

My question here is, what prevents the child or teen from just unplugging the PG key from the unit?

The Solar Powered Phone by Samsung

Here's an interesting gadget from Samsung with a model made from recycled plastic with a solar panel on the back for charging. Samsung said in a statement its "Blue Earth" solar-powered model had a touch screen and was made from plastic taken from used water bottles. It did not give pricing information or say when the phone would go on sale.

The Cheapest eBook Reader In The Market

With Kindle running low on supply to accommodate the orders for the holidays and Sony's reader being quite expensive, some companies have launched their own versions of the eBook reader. Some have called them ugly... yes, but they're dirt cheap and sometimes when the economy is this difficult practicality will have to matter more. Function over form I say!



From Foxit, the company that has brought us that light-weight PDF reader, Foxit is set to launch eSlick. Foxit's eSlick will cost $230 (rising to $260 after the initial promotion) and seems to get the basics right: It has a screen similar to that of the Kindle (6-inch, 600-by-800-pixels) and with it the monster battery life of e-ink displays (Foxit claims 8,000 page turns). The reader also comes with an MP3 player, 128MB internal memory and a 2GB SD card in the box.

You can also play MP3s on the eSlick; it has a headphones port and ships with a set of headphones. Foxit says it anticipates adding wireless, an even better screen, and/or perhaps content syncing in a manner similar to AvantGo at some point in the future.

It's almost the same in most ways only that it has no wireless connection. This is still the edge of Kindle, being connected to Amazon and all. eSlick will need to be docked like an iPod.



Another competitor is MiBook (pronounced "my book"), a book-sized white slab with a 7-inch color screen. Its "books" are memory chips with instructional videos. The MiBook, from Ohio-based startup Photoco Inc., is also considerably cheaper than Amazon.com Inc.'s Kindle or Sony Inc.'s Reader, which start at $300.

The list price for the MiBook is $120, but it's available for as little as $75 online, including two books. Extra books are $20 each. It uses a very conventional liquid-crystal display. Since it uses much more power than electronic ink, the MiBook is designed to be used at home, connected to a power supply. It has a fold-out stand, so it can be placed upright on a kitchen counter, and comes with a small remote. But it also has a rechargeable battery, so it can be used untethered.
