Diablo III Is Out!


I've tried playing Warcraft and Counter Strike, but no other game has endeared to me more than Diablo. I think it's the super power theme and the cool animation combined that makes it such a fun game to play - for a girl anyway.

The website is up and there's a cinematic release as well as a game player view. Learn about the world of Diablo or read about the characters in play

One way or another, although it's not really finished yet, I bet it will be one fun game to play. I can't wait for the formal release. In the meantime, visit the Diablo III website on Blizzard.com

MOTOZINE ZN5 - Motorola's First Kodak 5-megapixel Camera Phone




In partnership with Kodak, Motorola just unveiled its first 5-megapixel camera phone, the MOTOZINE ZN5.

The camera auto-focuses faster than other camera phones. Special algorithms reduce noise, and Kodak's "Perfect Touch" software fixes exposure problems. A special playback button on the keypad lights up in camera mode, giving you one-touch access to reviewing your images. You can also upload them to the Net with one button press, or play them on a TV through the TV-out jack.

Here are some of the Motozine ZN5 feature:

  • dimensions are 4.7" x 2" x 0.63"
  • 4 ounces
  • music and video players
  • 3.5-mm headset jack
  • FM radio
  • Bluetooth stereo audio
Here are some qualities of the camera phone. Of course being partners with Kodak does have its advantages:
  • panorama mode that automatically takes shots and stitches them together as you move the camera sideways with your hand
  • 320x240 movie-recording mode
  • 350MB of onboard memory, or on a MicroSD card up to 4GB in size
  • no optical zoom because the optics involved are too fragile and expensive for this initial product

Newest PDA Phone In the Market: Samsung Instinct


Very similar to the iPhone - it actually looks and feels like an Apple iPhone, Samsung's Instinct is the spitting image of iPhone, I'm the one worried about patent issues and stuff like that. It has a touch-screen interface, wireless internet, multimedia functions, bluetooth, camera, camcorder, expandable memory, GPS, email and web browsing, with other features that may put it just a short step above Apple's iPhone.

Instinct also comes with first-rate voice-command features. Simply press the voice-input ('Speech to Action') button on the right side, and you can initiate calls or text messages to contacts in your address book, or launch key applications.

Voodoo Envy 133 laptop



Voodoo Envy 133 laptop weighing less than 3 1/2 pounds sits on the red corner to battle Apple's MacBook Air. Being only half an inch thick I think makes it a worthy contender with carbon fiber shell. Hewlett Packard (HP) I guess has been trying to be more competitive in this market

Highlights:
  • 133 stands for 13.3” display
  • 0.7” thick
  • Carbon Fiber casing
  • WiFi N (100+ Mbps)
  • Starts at $2099

Even At This Day Ang Age With Prices Going Up - The Rich Still Want Their Luxury Yachts



Yes even with gas prices so high and people starving in different parts of the world, the filthy rich still want the ultimate status symbol - the luxury yacht. Luxury goods are seeing double digit growth in revenue numbers year on year specially as the wealthy in new markets in Europe, Asia and the Middle East set sail.

"If we talk about boats of 45-80 meters, we're taking orders for 2012 to 2013. It's a segment that's going very well," said Cannatelli, who keeps a Riva yacht in Tuscany and also likes to sail in the Caribbean and the Seychelles.

In the business year that ended on August 31, 2007, revenues grew 21 percent to 933 million euros. Core profit came in at 158 million euros.

LayAway Payments For Online Products With eLayAway Automatic Payments


Wondering how you'll ever finish paying that anniversary gift or holiday you've been planning for the longest time?


A new alternative payment option is presented by new-comer eLayaway™ that aims to make the process convenient through shopper-defined automatic payments. Also more efficient by allowing the merchant to define the terms, including which items to make available through eLayaway.


eLayaway™ allows you to buy the products and services that you want by paying for them through manageable monthly payments that you set.


Your order can be broken down over 3 to 13 monthly payments. These are automatically deducted from your checking account and you will receive your order once its paid in full.
So the requirement her of course is a valid checking account


They even have this cool calculator that lets you see what your monthly payments will be for a specific amount. You even get to set the payment schedules. It's so cool. There's a fixed 1.9% fee for the service, but would be worth it I think compared to a credit card
