Filed under: Handsets, Sony Ericsson, GSMMankind has never known a greater mystery than that of the true identity of "Kate." We knew it was a camera phone, manufactured by Sony Ericsson, and that it was part of the Cyber-shot line -- but beyond that all we had was speculation and innuendo. And here's some more! According to SEMC Blog, Kate -- officially known as the C510 -- should be available in roughly "two months." The camera sports a 2.2-inch QVGA display, 3.2-megapixel camera and 120MB on board storage. Also detailed were Filippa, a new Cybershot candybar, and Frances, its slider...
Today, I spoke with Liz Lynch, who is a networking-a-holic and the author of a book about networking. I always say “make your life one big networking event,” and Liz helps us figure out how to network online and offline, even if we’re lazy and hate the word “networking.” Liz will give you a sense of how networking has changed, how online networking success leads to offline and how they are different and how all of this relates to personal branding! Liz, there are a lot of books on networking/relationship building. Why do people keep writing about this subject? Is...
Photo: Golden Millet, Beekeeper, St. George, Utah, July 2007 (Photo: Kate Kunath) The mystery of bees disappearing all over the world is continuing to baffle scientists and beekeepers alike: is it parasitic mites? Or Bayer's pesticides? Reports of bee colony collapse disorder (CCD) happening in the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, France and Germany have prompted beekeepers to...
Filed under: Other Sci-Fi/Supernatural Shows, Programming, OpEd, Heroes, Casting, Reality-Free, FringeWhen exactly did we start lusting after sci-fi mystery shows with such a vengeance? That's the question I'm asking myself after reading the news about ABC's Flash Forward, a drama pilot starring Courtney B. Vance (pictured) and Jack Davenport. The show is based on Robert J. Sawyer's sci-fi novel and follows the chaos that ensues after everyone in the world blacks out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds. Oh, and everyone has a mysterious vision of the future that changes their lives forever. See, I'm the perfect viewer for this...
Filed under: Episode Reviews, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Reality-Free(S02E11) If ever the show Cold Case did an episode involving killer robots from the future, it would be tonight's Sarah Connor Chronicles. The reverse is also true.Cameron certainly earned her "most efficient killing machine on the planet" title tonight. And she didn't even have to do laundry. Obviously, the mystery of her constant attendance at the hall of records at night is not going to be solved this episode (since it was only brought up this episode). The real mystery is what happened to Eric at the end? Did he succumb...
Amy Poehler, Alan Cumming, Debbie Harry and darlings of New York's performance art scene star in this mockumentary, which will accompany Michael Cavadias's “lecture” about a 500-million-year-old enigma who, according to legend, can cure anyone of their deepest pain. Even if the idea of seeing “performance art” is enough to give you douche chills, the combination of Amy Poehler and urban legend should be the ticket to a good time.

Filed under: Episode Reviews, Reality-Free(S07E09) What does it say about this special holiday episode of Monk that the wittiest, most clever and memorable minute was when they unfurled the promo for the series return in 2009, using the music from Magnum, P.I. and dubbing the show Monk, P.I.? The USA marketing guys really hit a home run with that ad; it was brilliant.Sadly, "Mr. Monk and the Miracle" was a sub-standard episode and hardly worth the moniker of "special." The mystery was rather simple -- about the most complicated piece of evidence was the hand print in the refrigerator --...

Filed under: Blu-ray, Other formats, Players, Recorders Not interested in Qflix, huh? No worries, as Plextor has four others for your consideration. Up first is the PX-610U 8x slim external USB Super Multi Drive for both Mac and PC, which requires no AC adapter and comes bundled with Roxio burn software. Next are the 6x PX-B310SA (internal SATA) and PX-B310U (external USB) drives, both of which read Blu-ray Discs at 6x and burn blank DVDs at an undisclosed (but undoubtedly zippy) rate. Batting cleanup are the 22x PX-850SA (internal SATA) and PX-850A (internal PATA) Super Multi drives, which forgo the...
