The Japanese Gundam Statue MOVES!
Posted by Mavrik | Filed under Tech
Behold the awesomeness!
Yes that’s right. The head moves and it makes its boobs smokin hot! Sorry couldn’t resist, but I have to say, the chest was probably the worst idea for the exhaust (I’m assuming that’s what it is – or maybe it’s a smoke machine? Either way, bad idea). It would be nicer if it was out of the upper back or something that way it would seem more futuristic since it would be more out of sight. But what do I know. I love the “ching” sound it makes after it strikes a post, very anime (and this is coming from someone who isn’t too keen on anime in general).

Who’s Selling the Most Flat Panels in America?
Posted by Mavrik | Filed under Tech
Samsung! They’re still on top, leading the US flat panel market with 20% of the market share. But Sony, who used to be in second place, has been pushed to third. The culprit? Vizio.
Here’s how the flat panel television market looked as of Q4 2008:
20.2% – Samsung
14.3% - Vizio
13.5% – Sony
10.7% – Panasonic
So why is Vizio doing so well? Probably because buying cheap televisions. But incidentally, if you’re in the market for a cheap set, Gizmodo recommend the Toshiba Regza.
