No there isn’t an optical drive but there are heaps of slots and other features to enable you to do anything you want to do whether it is to conduct business, just for personal use or even gaming.

The Acer Ferrari One is supposedly going to be available to us mortals from October 22nd, which just happens to be the same day that Microsoft is releasing Windows 7.

TVs are soon going to be able to read your moods

Just imagine what life would be like if your television set could work out how you were feeling and offer you programmes that it thinks you might be in the mood to watch. Sounds a bit on the crazy side doesn’t it?

Well even if it does, according Ashley High field, the UK Managing Director of Microsoft the “smart” television sets in the not too distant future will be “naturally intuitive” and will do just that.

They will be able to interact with you, analyze your facial expressions, your body movements and gestures and by taking into account programmers you’ve watched in the past, they will offer up content for you so that you don’t have to channel flick.

Wow! Me, I can’t wait for that, even for the sheer novelty factor.

“Within 5 to 10 years, it is inevitably that television will be controlled much more naturally. It will be more intuitive, like the Xbox, following body movement and facial recognition like project natal.” Mr Highfield told the Daily Telegraph.

In Project Natal you interact with “Milo” a virtual character in the computer who will chat back to you just as a normal person would. Milo will recognize your face, greet you by name, and detect changes in your facial expressions and in the tone of your voice.

“TV will increasingly go that way,” said Mr Highfield.

“This is certainly the last generation that will have a remote control”.

I have no problems ditching the remote, always losing it anyway. What’s really exciting about the Project Natal kind of technology though is how it could change everything about our lives. This really is ground breaking stuff.

Coolest Mustang Ever

Through the years many debates were held on the topic which is the coolest mustang ever but it was never decided because many models can acquire this title in a heartbeat. Fans are divided and we are sure that so are you. But what it cool after all? We have to define this concept a little bit before we can go on with on with this article any further.In our opinion it will be a combination between technological parts that will get excited any car fan and also a very sleek car design.

The Charlie Booze 1993 Mustang is one of the cares that will spend the first 300 feet from a quarter of a mile dragging the rear bumper and it is the most feared car at any street event. Everybody will run to the line to see this baby roll. It was driven at a 8.8 second zone in a street car event and almost made a mockery of any other car that was in that race. His ride was powered and promoted by Kuntz and Co and it got him qualified at every event and wined him first prize also. In 2005 he was the winner of the Hot Street Championship and was a victory for himself and also for the manufacturer because lets' face it, the '93 Mustang grew in production and in sale after that win.

Sprint launches Samsung Moment

And here comes more trouble for your wallet. Mixing up of slide-out QWERTY keyboard, AMBLED screen and Android inside, Samsung's Moment -- in spite of its quirks and niggles -- is likely to lighten the load for quite a few Sprint customers today. Pricing is as expected, with a $279.99 initial outlay that gets reduced to $179.99 after rebates, but you'll also have to agree to a two-year contractual commitment. Unless you're locked in to Sprint for whatever reason, we might advise holding out for a couple of days and seeing if the DROID takes your fancy, but don't take our word for it
