Is Dell really thinking about launching another MP3 player? Didn’t this go bad for them the first time around?
It would connect to online music services via a Wi-Fi Internet connection, and Dell would likely price the model at less than $100, the Journal said. Dell's first foray into the music market in 2003 was a huge disappointment. It withdrew from the music-player market after its DJ Ditty player failed to make major inroads.
Intel has launched a new family of low power Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) controllers: the Intel® 82574 series. These tiny silicon packages take up 40% less space than previous generations and consume as little as 710mW in GbE mode and 300mW in 10/100 mode. These controllers perfectly complement Intel® Atom™ Processor Z500 Series designs for small form-factor embedding computing applications in such industries as telecommunications, medical, industrial and infotainment. The Intel 82574 family has extended 7-year manufacturing availability to protect customer system investment.

Hasbro puts out a free version of Scrabble for everyone to use, files suit against the fake Scrabble people. No one could use the official Scrabble because they were attacked as soon as they went live. So now no one has Scrabble. What the?!?
EA’s Scrabble Facebook game experienced a malicious attack this morning, resulting in the disabling of Scrabble on Facebook. We’re working with our partners to resolve this issue and have Scrabble back online and ready to play as soon as possible.
I have to admit, these designer hard drive cases are very cool...well, that is until you see the ridiculously high price tag on them.
Apparently the International Olympic Committee lied earlier when they claimed that internet access would be “open” for the Olympics. The IOC had already agreed to a deal to block sites that China deemed unfit. 
"I ... now understand that some IOC officials negotiated with the Chinese that some sensitive sites would be blocked on the basis they were not considered Games related," the Australian told Reuters on Wednesday.
The MacRumors forums are packed full of people with 3G iPhones with cracks in them. iPhone owners are speculating that the damage could be caused by everything from heat issues to faulty case castings. It reminds me of all the cracked Nintendo DS hinges a while back.
Everyone’s favorite UFO seeking hacker has lost his battle to fight extradition to the United States. Makes you wonder if they are going to use the 50+ interviews (print and TV) bragging about his shenanigans against him. Now that would be entertainment.

How many times have you been stranded somewhere like the subway or trainstation without your trusty DJ turntables? I know, I know….it happens to me all the time too. Thankfully the Optimus keyboard folks make mini Dj-scratch pads for just such occasions. Besides, it is a great way to keep the your 8yr old DJ occupied without lugging around real turntables.
