Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!
Filed under: HDTV, Home Entertainment
Affiliations in the HD DVD vs. Blu-ray format war have been pretty clearly defined for nearly two years now -- despite a hybrid player here and some international releases there, most of the players involved have not switched support since the early days. Well that's all about to change, as Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks Animation -- which started off HD DVD only before deciding to go both ways -- have officially announced plans to release movies exclusively on HD DVD, dropping Blu-ray support entirely. This means that hits like Transformers, Shrek the Third and Blades of Glory won't follow Mission: Impossible III as cross-format releases when they debut this holiday season. Paramount has released about 30 movies on Blu-ray so far, but those days have come to an end: apparently cheaper HD players trump a 2:1 sales advantage. We can't wait to see how the Blu-ray camp responds to this.

Sure, quite a few intrepid students have tried to slip on an earpiece of some sort to gain an unfair advantage come test time, but those DIY attempts oftentimes lack the top-notch qualities found in professional, in-ear cheating liaisons. Enter Examear, which aims to "help students succeed" by offering up a trio of wireless earphones that enable test takers to hear recorded content on a nearby DAP or the voice of an abettor. Each of the models fit sneakily within your ear and sport varying levels of battery life / features, and while you can snag the low-ender for a mere $185, the Bluetooth-equipped platinum edition looks to be the best bet for the avid cheater at $300. 'Course, we certainly wouldn't recommend nor condone actually using these things for subverting an exam, but presenters who often forget their lines and those who long to be an undercover spy could certainly find a good bit of utility here, too.

2008 Aston Martin DBS has walked the ramp at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 16th and you are still unaware of it? No worries, I'll brief you about this grand car. CEO Ulrich Bez has aptly described it as an explosive power in a black tie with its own unique character which will equal that of James Bond. It is a 6.0-litre V12 powered, race-bred, two-seater shaped by the aerodynamic demands of high performance, with an exquisite interior as well as the very latest in performance technology. This powerful beast can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.3 seconds and you can push it up to 191mph with ease!

Output is rated at 510 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. Weighing 3,737 lbs, its carbon ceramic brakes and foot-wide Pirelli tires keep all the power in check. Set to go into production in October, you can hunt for them in first few months of 2008.
