Hey PC fanboys, now you can use this shot of a Windows XP display at an AT&T store when those smug Mac worshipers tell you about how such-and-such Zune commercial was made on a Mac, and how "all media types and artists" use Macs. Windows runs the world, baby. (Thanks, Paul!) -Charlie White

Bowers and Wilkins, better known as B&W, take pride in doing things a little differently and charging a lot more for it along the way. After all, who can afford £11,000 for its new limited edition Signature Diamond Series?
The company has been caressing the ears of audiophiles for years with great speakers and now the iPod generation – at least those with a around £320 [bargain basement for B&W,] - are getting their very own Zeppelin dock. It’s 2-feet wide and looks very impressive indeed.
According to folk at Sci-Fi Tech there are five drivers, a 5in woofer, glass-fiber cones, tweeters and three channels of amplification that combine for 100Watts of output. It can also be hooked up to the TV for transferring video. Due out soon.-Martin Lynch
Cyclists Blow Your Thunder Horn August 2, 2007
READ MORE Gadgets , Sport , Technology
Life can be hard for cyclists who, in the eyes of more ruthless motorists, rank a few steps lower on the evolutionary ladder than cockroaches and hair lice.
However, as many a cyclist will tell you, getting side swiped by black cabs is par for the course because stupid pedestrians pose a much a greatest danger. Shouting at them seconds before impact rarely works which is why someone invented the Thunder Horn.
With a noise level of 110dB – think jackhammer or baby crying volume levels here – it’s designed to scare the bejaysus out of them whenever they step into the road with their heads up their ass.
It can also be used to just freak them out whenever you’re bored at the traffic lights. Yours for around £6.-Martin Lynch

Manhunt 2 Ban Is Appealed August 2, 2007

Manhunt 2, a game in which two-consenting adults embark on a fulfilling and family-friendly journey through life, wants its ban lifted. OK, that’s not exactly true. Manhunt 2, in which you get to kill and maim just about anyone in brutal and inventive ways with all manner of blunt and sharp implements, wants its UK ban lifted.
Rockstar Games has confirmed that it has launched an appeal against the BBFC ban with Video Appeals Committee to have its ‘artistic’ game cleared for a retail launch.
Rockstar is hoping [desperately] that the ban will be lifted, just like the one on Carmageddon in 1997. However, while Carmageddon was banned because you got points for running over highly-pixellated pedestrians in a car – [ah, the innocence of it all], Manhunt 2 takes gore and violence to a new level and Rockstar has its work cut out for it.
By all accounts, there will have to be some serious re-working of the content and tone if it ever hopes to get a certificate.-Martin Lynch
