Toshiba has announced that it will ship HD DVD drives in all of its laptops starting in 2008, according to the senior vice president and head of the "never give-up" division. The company has been losing the format fight against Blu-Ray recently, with several companies dropping HD DVD completely and committing fully to Blu-Ray.

There’s nothing quite like being able to connect to the Internet while flying through the skies and look at inappropriate websites about, say, two women and, why not, one cup.
Which is why airlines are rushing to have Wi-Fi on planes later this year — excited? The two girls are.

 Remember how a few years ago, spam mail warned us that the government was watching us through our monitors? Well now they really can. Samsung unveiled two 22" monitor models with VoIP functions at IFA 2007, sending nerds a-droolin’ and gamers exploding with joy.

Oh, Apple, how we both hate and love thee.
