One of the greatest shows to ever make it into satellite service by http://www.tvbydirect.com/ was The Bionic Woman. The Bionic Woman has such an interesting story premise that I truly love. This show is quite addicting, so a person should be forewarned before watching this amazing show!
This show was first created in the seventies. The story behind the show is that a woman was injured in a very terrible parachuting accident. The government then pays all sort of money to rebuild her. She is transformed into a woman that can truly do anything. It is so cool to watch this show, because the bionic woman is truly so strong. She can basically do whatever she wants. She is able to use her strength to take down strong enemies. She is also able to get the man of her dreams. So many men fall in love with her, but she does not have a care in the world for any of them. I love watching this show for its positive message on female empowerment. This show truly has some great feminist undertones, which I think is awesome. This is one of the best shows to watch. I think it is one of the greatest shows that has ever been shown. It is quite an amazing show, and I truly love to watch it all the time.

Technology gig
A little talk about technology and what's going on about it recently. Did you know that HD Makers ceased it production of HD DVD Players a few days ago? Yep, I was able to read it in the news sites.
This is actually expected, few weeks ago, NetFlix and Walmart blatantly endorsing Blu-ray. And this hit hard HD, that's for sure. Then later one there were other big companies who were also endorsing blu-ray. Whew...tough business huh?
Hopefully HD can come up with a new gadget and with a high end features so they can get back on track. Ohhh I remember, blackberry might sink too. I think it was 2 weeks ago when I read some news clips about them being offline for a couple of hours. they gave a lame excuse that they upgraded their system that's why they're offline.
Would we expect them to sink too? Hmmm..let's see..

Blu-ray triumphs at gadget show
The International Consumer Electronics Show is turning out to be a celebration party for Blu-ray, the high-definition format that Sony Corp. backed, and a wake for a rival movie disc technology pushed by Toshiba Corp.
Just two months ago, Sony CEO Howard Stringer said the fight between Blu-ray and Toshiba's HD DVD was at a "stalemate," and expressed a wish to travel back in time to avert it.
The impasse was broken Friday by Warner Bros. Entertainment, the last major studio to put out movies in both formats. It announced it was ditching HD DVD, and from May on, would only publish on Blu-ray and traditional DVD.
The decision puts a strong majority of the major studios, five versus two, in the Blu-ray camp.
Asked Monday at the show if the Warner announcement decides the format war, Stringer said: "I never put up banners that say 'Mission Accomplished.'" But his cheerful delivery belied his words.
By contrast, the main media event scheduled for the show by the North American HD DVD Promotional Group, which includes Intel Corp. and Microsoft Corp., was canceled because of Warner's defection.

I like blu-ray too, though its expensive, its worth it. Hopefully the makers will make more so it'll be cheaper in the future.

Software maker Oracle churns out profit
The economy may be sputtering, but Oracle Corp. is still hitting on all cylinders. Brushing aside worries about a possible slowdown in the technology sector, Oracle soared well beyond analyst expectations in its fiscal second quarter and raised hopes for a strong start in 2008 with an upbeat forecast.
The results released late Wednesday drove up Oracle's stock price by more than 6 percent.
Now the big question is whether Oracle's performance and bullish outlook should be interpreted as a positive sign for the entire technology industry.
Some analysts aren't ready to leap to the conclusion, reasoning that Oracle is simply outsmarting and out-hustling its competition. "It would be inappropriate to think that just because Oracle is doing well, the rest of the industry is too," said Cowen and Co. analyst Peter Goldmacher.

So they're using an IRobot now..
IRobot gets $286M Army robotics contract
IRobot Corp. won a $286 million contract to supply the U.S. Army with bomb-disarming robots, wresting the deal from a smaller rival that iRobot claimed stole its trade secrets.
Shares of iRobot rose nearly 4 percent after Tuesday's announcement of a deal to supply up to 3,000 of a new, smaller and lighter version of iRobot's track-wheeled PackBot. The contract also requires iRobot to provide spare parts, training and repair services over five years.
After rising as high as $19.50 Tuesday morning, shares of iRobot were up 68 cents to $17.87 at midday.
Burlington-based iRobot, which also makes consumer robots such as Roomba vacuum cleaners, said it would immediately deliver the first 101 robots to the Army for rapid deployment.
IRobot already has delivered more than 1,200 PackBots, which have disarmed roadside bombs and searched caves and buildings in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some scout dangerous areas before soldiers or emergency responders go in.

Economy may slow tech industry's growth
Weakness in the U.S. economy figures to take a bite out of the technology industry's growth rate in 2008, when analysts expect tech spending to slow around the world.
The picture is not exactly dire: A forecast released Thursday by analyst firm IDC calls for the worldwide information-technology market to grow 5.5 percent to 6 percent in 2008, the lower end of what has become a usual range. In the U.S., the market is expected to expand 3 percent to 4 percent.
Those growth rates are softer than this year's 6.9 percent worldwide expansion and 6.6 percent growth in the U.S., according to IDC.
Just a few months ago, IDC was expecting the U.S. tech market to grow 5.5 percent in 2008. The company pushed its estimate down to 3 percent to 4 percent as the mortgage crisis heightened and rising high oil prices enhanced the prospect of a recession next year, IDC senior researcher Frank Gens Sr. said.

I think so too
HDTVs Growing to Epic Size This Season
Jumbo sets are flooding the market this year. Sony has 20 models measuring 40 inches or larger in LCD alone, now making up 68 percent of the company's TV lineup, according to the Wall Street Journal. And Sony, like everyone else, is hoping you'll go big: At $1,273, the average 40-inch TV offers substantially better profit margin than a $763 32-inch set (in part because there is less competition in bigger sets from budget brands like Olevia and Westinghouse). The goal is obviously that you'll get sucked into jumping up a size or two when you see the difference in the stores.
Still, prices are dropping, just not as much: 12 percent on average this year for LCD sets. As well, technology continues to improve, with focus on deeper blacks, faster response times, and even lighter and thinner screens. Interestingly, Sharp says it can now fit a 42-inch screen into its old 40-inch frame because there's less wasted space around the edges.
