    Create your own view of the world with the WindowWall

    I love the show Leverage. Partly because it's filmed in my home town of Portland Oregon, and partly because of the high tech gadgets that they use.

Well, you can buy your own, better version, with the WindowWall.

    And lo, from the Ballmer came the words, and the words were about the Xbox, and they did ponder the words as to what they meant. And then the idle speculation started, and people started posting stuff on the internet, and it just got silly. But judging from (and speculating from) some comments that Ballmer said at a recent UW speech, there's a pretty good chance that there may be some new kinds of Xboxen coming to your television.

    JVC has two more sound bars from you to pick from: TH-BA3 and TH-BS7

    Didn't Nickelodeon used to give away JVC boomboxes and whatnot on its game shows back in the day? (I'm primarily talking to twenty-somethings here, yes.) Imagine you were a contestant on Double Dare, and you manage to find the flag inside the big nose filled with goo, and you win this, the TH-BA3. It's a sound bar, which are a heck of a lot easier to incorporate into a small space than a complete surround sound system.
