Alarm Ring
If you hate loud, annoying alarms like me this is perfect for you. Once you set the ring for your wake up time, all you have to do is slide the ring on and it will vibrate at the set time to wake you up. It is certainly more pleasant than being abruptly awakened by the standard obnoxious alarm clock. This is also great for people who have to be up at different times. Now your roommate or (spouse) can enjoy uninterrupted sleep.

Windows Phone 7
Microsoft has been working on the Windows Phone 7 for a while now. The new phone is rumored to have a 4-inch touchscreen, sliding QWERTY keyboard, and a 1GHz processor. Also it may have Xbox integration capabilities. Microsoft has set up a website for potential customers to submit their "dream app" to be considered for production. The features may change due to the fact that Microsoft has not officially picked a phone brand to manufacture the Windows Phone 7 yet. Check back for updates.

Steve Jobs Conquers the World
Apple has slowly grown to become a major force in the computing world. With over 100 million iPods and close to 40 millions iPhones sold (sure to increase when iPhone 4 is released) Apple is dominating their market. The company posted revenue of $9.87 billion last year. This has made me wonder if Apple is out selling its competitors to the point that they believe they can charge whatever they want because they know consumers will buy it. Don't get me wrong the iPhone is amazing and still the standard for mobile phones, but there are other smart phones that make great alternatives for half the cost.
What warrants the price tag? Thousands of apps that you won't use? (most aren't that useful anyway) A slick touch screen? iTunes? Do you really need a camera on an iPod? Or is it being able to boast that you have the latest iPhone? To me the Blackberry has always been the more practical and useful solution to the iPhone. Does the iPad do anything a laptop can't, or does it just cash in on the Apple hype? I always try to determine what I need as opposed to what I want when buying an item. That way I don't end up paying $600 for a phone.

Hot or Not?
I'm not really a big Wayne fan, especially of his new "rock" album, but I came across his video for "Knockout" and I kind of like it. Tell me what you think of it.

Lexus New $400,000 Super Car
The top luxury dealer in the US has decided to try their hand at making exotic super cars. To tell the truth they didn't do half bad. The LF-A has a 552 hp V-10 engine capable of going 0-60 in 3.6 seconds and maximizes out at 202 mph. Being made almost entirely of carbon fiber the LF-A is surprisingly light at 3,263 lbs. Toyota has already leased the 500 models due to arrive by December of this year for around $375,000 each (not including taxes of course). All in all the LF-A is a great achievement for Lexus, but at nearly $400,000 a lot of people will pass on this car.
