Sony W30 and W50
Sony’s becoming Al Green – it just can’t stop.
Like the recent Sony W30 and W50 [story here], the new DSC-H2 and DSC-H5 cut out the shake of jittery hands with clever gyroscopes built into the camera and pole-vault to a light sensitivity of ISO 1000 by using new sensors. In other words, they’re the perfect cameras for photographing cityscapes at night and mates in dark clubs.

Sony hi-def HDR-HC3E
Technorati Tags: Sony, hi-def, HDR-HC3E, camcorder, electronics
Shooting video in high-def was once but a pipe dream to the weak of shoulder thanks to the chunky kit – Sony’s new camcording waif, though, won't bother you with anything so much as a hand cramp.
Sony claims that the camcorder before you is the lightest and smallest HD shooter in the world – Sanyo’s new 145g HD1 will cough loudly at such suggestions, but at 500g it’s still an impressive feat of miniaturisation.

Lindsay Lohan Is Pissed
Yahoo News is reporting that Lindsay Lohan is furious that she is still referred to as the Teen Queen. During the interview of the March issue of Allure magazine, Lindsay says she wants to be considered a serious actress and rejects her young slutty image. She doesn't want to be known as the girl who parties all night and can't be taken seriously.
Lindsay had this to say in regards to the teen hype: "I hate it when people call me a teen queen."

Tell Your Doctor to Ditch the Necktie!
Next time a male doctor examines you, you may want to ask him to take off his necktie first. The reason? Neckties worn by doctors are eight times more likely to house various dangerous bacteria than those worn by other hospital workers, according to a study.

Fears over freshness of meat
It's a safe bet that steak sliced while the customer watches is fresh.
But shoppers who think they can spot older meat by the color... may be fooled.
Some meat packers are quietly exposing pork and beef to safe levels of carbon monoxide... just before packaging.
Carbon monoxide keeps meat looking red -- but not necessarily fresh -- for weeks.
David Duerr, an expert at Central Market, says meat should not be judged by color alone.

Woman's Arm Severed In Car Accident
Jacqueline Dotson and her six-year-old daughter had to be cut out of their vehicle after the accident in which Dotson veered into the median and over-corrected, rolling her truck over the guardrail and landing upside down after flipping several times.
Several people stopped to help, and it turns out, the good samaritans may very well have saved Dotson's life. Sheila Vice, a nurse's aide, and an off-duty EMT from another county stopped to help, and put a tourniquet on Dotson's arm to stop the bleeding. Her arm was found near the accident still clutching a cell phone.

Cannabis smoker complained to police
A cannabis smoker has been arrested after complaining to police that he was sold bad weed.
Hans-Juergen Bendt, 52, from Darmstadt, lodged a complaint about his dealer with police after he sold him seven ounces of "completely un-enjoyable" hash.
Bendt complained the dealer refused to refund him the £270 he had paid for the drugs.
But despite the official complaint, in which Bendt described himself as a victim of "fraud" involving drugs of "absolutely mediocre quality", the officers failed to act upon the allegations and booked the complainant instead.
He is now being charged for the illegal purchase and possession of narcotic substances.
His brains were definitly fried.

Safe Sex City
"In commemoration of today, which is also national "Condom Day," health officials announced that city condoms are being developed."
The importance and info is out there. Who does'nt know the importance of a condom. And by the way they are only about a buck 50 for a three pack. Buy your own!
There goes taxpayers money again, on junk. My opinion.

Turkish rush to embrace anti-US film
It is rabidly anti-American, and it is the biggest draw in town.
In one scene, trigger-happy US troops massacre civilians at a wedding party.
In another they firebomb a mosque during evening prayer. There are multiple summary executions.
And for the first time, the real-life abuses by American soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison are played out on the big screen.

This movie ought to be condemned!!
