We have just received a tip about a new LCD HDTV from Philips that should hopefully gain a fair amount of attention when it’s announced at this years IFA. The new HDTV (or range we assume) will be called the Philips Essence. The Essence LCD will have a 42-inch screen size and ultra light and ultra thin at just 38mm thickness.

by Darren Murph, posted Aug 17th 2008 at 6:31PM Always looking to make lemonade out of lemons, the self-proclaimed BGizzle took the opportunity to inform prospective (and current) blackberry Bold owners of the handset’s fragile nature. To no one’s surprise, the naked Bold didn’t stand up too well to pavement when dropped from about two feet — maybe this is where a real metal bezel would come in handy?

by Joshua Topolsky, posted Aug 17th 2008 at 4:44PM A whole new slew of Walkmans have hit Sony’s New Zealand site, and we’ve got the goods on them. The new models, dubbed the NWZ-E435, NWZ-E436, and NWZ-E438 all sport a 2-inch QVGA LCD display, FM tuner, codec support for MP3, AAC, WMA, and Linear PCM files, and clock in at a very petite 8.5mm / 50g. The players will be available in 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB variations, with various color options for each model (except for the NWZ-E438, which only comes in black). Apparently, the PMPs play nice with both Windows Media Player and iTunes, offering drag and drop management for files. No word yet on price, regions, or release date, but we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for these sweet (Read the full post about ‘New Sony Walkman PMPs hit the internet, flash all kinds of colors’…)
by Joshua Topolsky, posted Aug 17th 2008 at 4:14PM Robot designers are currently duking it out for the British army in hopes of nabbing the hearts (and pocketbooks) of the UK’s fighting force. In a makeshift “wartime European village,” scientists and researchers are putting their helper-droids to the test as Army officials look on and investigate how the automatons might serve alongside troops. Some of the robots being looked at include a “Moon buggy” which remotely patrols for enemies via thermal imaging and then sends the data back to a command center, a helicopter that can be maneuvered in tight urban spaces, and a RC car with what appears to be a pile of digicams mounted on top of it.

An aircraft is a vehicle which is used to travel through the air. An aircraft is made up of number of different parts and each part has a specific function. For an aircraft to work smoothly, each and every part should work perfectly. Fasteners, engine, bearings, wings are some of the common aircraft parts.
Each part of the aircraft has a specific function. An engine is used to create the thrust which is required to push the aircraft into the Earth’s atmosphere.

PricePirates is a piece of Windows freeware that lets you compare prices in eBay auctions ( you can select what country), Amazon.com and Shopping.com. Each of those product sources show up in different tabs in the software and automatically populated once you switch to a tab. There is also a tab with a Web search (although I don’t know why you would bother with this when there are much better search engines out there).
I found that the results were a bit hit or miss on the Amazon.com and Shopping.com tabs, although eBay results looked fine. For example, a search for ‘ipod touch 8gb‘ did not return the actual ipod listed on Amazon.

According to Appleinsider, the newest beta of iphone firmware (2.1, beta 4) has been seeded to developers, but takes one crucial element off the table — push notification. If you’ll recall, the new feature will allow third-party developers to take advantage of Apple’s servers for real-time push of data to and from applications. Apparently, the feature has been cut from the most recent beta for “further development” with no indication of when it will be reinstated.
