I’ve had a little bit of a stability issue, but all in all I like it. No transfering, not converting, just search for a video and click on it and its streaming right inside Windows MCE.

Yougle allows you to watch community video - at the moment, the content from Google Video, Grouper, DivX Stage 6 and YouTube - from the comfort of your own lounge, via your Windows XP Media Center 2005 PC.

There are seventy-five listed and they run the gamut, from Saturday morning fare like Pac-Man, Smurfs, and Dungeons and Dragons to syndicated classics like G.I. Joe, Transformers, He-Man and My Little Pony.

I’d considering buying one of these when the price comes down.

One of the world’s largest computer and consumer electronics manufacturers will ship a completely open, Linux-based, GPS-equipped, quad-band GSM/GPRS phone direct, worldwide, for $350 or less, in Q1, 2007.

I still haven’t watched all of Thank You For Smoking, but I liked what I saw. I think it could be a good TV show.

“The idea is that there’s a never-ending array of clients he could have,” Sacks told Daily Variety. “But it has to be something where Nick is on the wrong or unpopular side of things.” Potential clients could include fast-food companies, environmental polluters or politicos caught with their pants down.

Its just a rumor of an offer, but still…

Since Peter Jackson’s (Middle-)earth shattering news that he is off the project, it seems the Spider-Man director may step into his place.

Who green lights these products in the first place? What about this made Bissell think “You know what sells well? Pink vacuums for little girls!!!”.

For generations, American parents have trusted Barbie to prepare our daughters for adulthood, when they’ll be judged by completely unrealistic standards of beauty. Now, along comes everybody’s favorite plastic blonde with another reality check for the little she-tots. There’s no better way to say “Merry Christmas, and get ready for a lifetime of household drudgery” than the Barbie Real Vacuum by Bissell.
