A company in a small town in Germany developed this little guy and it’s starting to become a buzz in the Netherlands and other environmentally mindful countries. They - http://evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=104 - run you - http://www.electricbike.com/NewsEvents/Mighty%20Pedaling/mightypedal.htm oh excuse me - around 26,000 dollars, - http://www.electricbike.com/NewsEvents/Pedal%20Power/pedal-power.htm woah sorry - and max out at about 85 km/hr. Takes about - http://www.twikeworld.com/ kugh - 200 minutes to charge or - http://www.addr.com/http_404_filenot_found.htm that was the dog - one minute for each kilometer of its range without peddling. Of course, peddling charges the battery in which case you can go forever.

Nintendo DS - Now in Shiny Blue
January 28, 2008
Rumor or not, this is the best looking DS that I’ve seen. If it is coming out, it will be released in the month of February to North American Markets.
Here’s to hoping that this new shiny-toy gets to see the light of day for us Canadians. Oh and to the Americans that are slowly sending the world into a recession!
Too Far a Cry, A Cry Two Far, Cry me a Too Far
January 28, 2008
A little behind the times, but since I get back from Australia, I decided to pop in my brother’s old school computer games which included Stronghold Crusader, and Far Cry. Now, I’m not a gamer, but I have played a bit of Ghost Recon, and I guess Far Cry and Recon were big around the same time. So it’s wonderful: you’re shooting up mercenaries on a tropical island, poking between bushes and WW2 war relics with your SMG’s, sniper rifle, and machete. The first four stages were really getting me into this game… but then I walk into a room where a DnA-warped monkey man is ripping up one the mercenaries that I wanted to blast. In other words, I basically find myself playing DOOM. I like playing a good sci fi game, but if I wanted to blast space aliens from hell then I’d stick DOOM in the drive and pull out the double-barrel. To me, it’s such a cop-out to bust into the alien world when you might have been unravelling a reasonably realistic plot. Far Cry 2 is coming out and Ubisoft drops you into
Africa where there’s more than enough reason to be on your toes. I’m just hoping that while I’m blasting twisted guerrillas in the middle of the rainforest, I don’t run into King Kong, or ET, or Worf, or Rudolph. Pull me into the plot with intellect… lord knows there’s enough twisted things going on out there and enough motivation for a man fighting for survival to kick some ass in Africa.
Nvidia GeForce 9600GT delayed - No love for Valentines
January 27, 2008
We’re all excited to get our hands on one of Nvidia’s new graphics boards, but it looks like we’ll be waiting a little while longer.
Nvidia is pushing back the the release date of the new 9600GT until the week of February 21st. This is due to a voltage issue that is causing some of them to hang during certain types of operations.
Not a big deal, considering the original launch party was slated for the week of February 14th. Looks like there will be no love from Nvidia on the day that Geeks need it the most.
LaLa.com - Innovation in Media
January 27, 2008
Founded by - Bill Nguyen, Billy Alvarado, Anselm Baird-Smith, and John Cogan III, LaLa is not your average music store.
According to LaLa.com, they officially launched the most extensive music store (Ever) on March 6th, 2006. Allowing users to download entire CDs for a measly $1.00 during their BETA period. Which was obviously extremely successful.
Unlike every other online music store, LaLa’s Preview system is the best that I’ve ever seen. Allowing visitors to listen to entire tracks and CDs before purchasing. Everywhere else = 5-30 second samples.
Because you can never tell at a glance….
Users also have the option to purchase physical CDs or the digital format version. If you enjoy music, like to hold down the man (iTunes) and want to try something new and innovative make sure to check out LaLa.com
