Just a heads up:
It’s the very first episode of Tekzilla: Jessica Corbin and Patrick Norton.

I wonder if the Amazon video store will be able to compete with anything that Apple can offer over the iTunes video store.
There will be some heated competition in the legal [...]

According to MarketWatch Dell Inc. has announced that it will offer AMD’s Athlon chip in its Dimension computer line starting next month. This ends a long, and exclusive partnership with Intel.
This is an impressive move from Dell. It means that it is less reliant on Intel, and may include some cost savings for [...]

This is a little disturbing, but well known that this would happen. The interesting thing from this article is that if the Greenland ice sheet were to completely melt, sea levels would rise by 21 feet (6.5 meters).

There isn’t too much information on this but this is what I have so far:

An Ariane-5 rocket blasted off from French Guiana on Friday, putting into orbit a Japanese civilian communications satellite and a French military communications satellite, officials said.
