Hollywood is asking China to crackdown on the rampant piracy that is so widespread in China before the world converges on Beijing for the Olympics in 2008. Maybe they should go after china secretly using Russia's wireless network.

A Ohio man has been charged with pirating a movie (Coach Carter of all movies...wow) by distrubuting it over the eDonkey network. His escuse was that his network was unsecured and someone must have parked a car outside with a laptop and illegally use his bandwidth to distribute the film. Yeah, good luck with that one buddy. but it brings the question of what to do about people with wireless networks and how to secure them. Most general [more ...]

has the Infocus 61" rear projection TV for $ 2499.99+$5 shipping again but this time they're including some crazy Matrix Collectors box set with over 10 DVDs. Woot is describing it as..."Think of it as a Very Pricy DVD Set That Comes With a Free TV". I'm liking this the more I look at it, but I still have my sights on the Samsung 61" 1080i HLR box. But I can wait until after Jan 1 when prices come down even more. (Funny I keep saying that quarter after quarter ever since I had my eye on [more ...]

Looking for a laptop? Have $ 398 to spare?

tony - tonycnn@gmail.com — Mon, 31 Oct 2005 10:33:00 GMT

Well, head down to Wal-mart on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving that usually has some unreal deals in all retail stores to drive traffic ringing in the holiday shopping season. Rumors have it that this will be a HP AMD based 3000+ Sempron laptop with 512m of ram, 40 gig HD and 15" screen. Not bad for < $ 400. More when this is confirmed as well as any other hot deals we'll find.
