November 15, 2010 No Comment
Shock of all horrors, Samsung and Giorgio Armani have teamed up yet again to produce a specially endorsed handset for the fashion-conscious public. The fun thing about this oh-so-exclusive piece of Armani luxury is that it looks remarkably (read: exactly) like the AT&T Captivate that Americans have had the pleasure of using for a good few of months now. We’re hearing there’s some extra multimedia bundled in along with the GA brand name, so we’re absolutely positive your €700 will be well spent. If you’re not yet convinced, how’s about an unboxing video after the break?

Article by WorldNews.com Correspondent Dallas Darling. Purely by the virtue of being a human being, it was wonderful to witness the recent release of Burmese pro-democracy leader Sung San Suu Kyi. This was not the case, though, for Omar Bakri Mohammad. Whereas Suu Kyi had been under house arrest for years, mainly due to her outspokenness and political activities challenging Burma’s military junta, Omar Bakri has just been arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment after being found guilty of “terrorism” offenses. They have also accused him of inciting violence committed by Sunnis during an attack on Lebanese Army soldiers prior to the 2007 Nahr al-Bared conflict. Omar Bakri was also accused…

AMD’s cutting it mighty close, but the latest word from its PR mouthpiece is that the hotly anticipated Radeon HD 6970 and HD 6950 will be unveiled just in time for the gift-giving holidays. Fudzilla has heard directly from the Radeon team, who say they’re “going to take a bit more time before shipping the AMD Radeon HD 6900 series.” The NDA is expected to lift on the week beginning December 13th, but it’s anyone’s guess whether reviews of the cards will be accompanied by widespread in-store availability. Our hearts say yes, but our minds are already making other plans.

If you’ve been spending an inordinate amount of time on the couch… well, that’s not exactly something we’d happily admit to all. But that doesn’t mean you actually have to get up and get moving. IOGEAR’s making it even easier to access Netflix, the world wide web and your mum’s Picasa account through your HTPC , all courtesy of a new pair of 2.4GHz wireless couch keyboards. The GKM571R is the smaller of the two (shown above), with a palm-sized design, backlit keys, a tiny optical trackball in the top-right corner and a svelte lid to cover things up when bedtime calls. The GKM571R is an oval shaped board that’s closer to full size, with a row of dedicated media hotkeys and an even larger trackball for moving your cursor. You’ll find ‘em both available later this year, with the former going for $99.95 and the latter for $89.95. Good thing you won’t even have to leave said sofa to order one.
