40" HDTV Recommendation



At the risk of sounding like Dealnews, I am going to tell you about a deal I found.

If you are looking for a 40 inch HDTV, here is one for you to check out. It retails for $1699.99, but at the moment Amazon.com has it listed for 29% off.


Sony keeps the consumer hopping by having five 40 inch HDTV's in their product lineup. This one is in the middle of the pack, can display 1080p and has a great contrast ratio. The next model up has 3 HDMI inputs, a better contrast ratio, and isn't on sale. I am seriously thinking about this one.

Hydrogen powered toy car, just add water


As a micro environment, Corgi has created a neat little demonstration of a hydrogen powered car. This isn't the first hydrogen powered RC car, but it is getting attention at the Nuremburg Toy Fair this week.

The system uses a solar panel that charges the radio-control unit and provides the electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in a fueling station. The hydrogen fuel cell is recharged using the hydrogen released from the water. This would make a great science class demonstration.

Super Bowl Winner pick


A simulation of this Sunday's championship game run in "Madden" by publisher Electronic Arts Inc predicts the Patriots will win the Super Bowl this year. EA said "Madden" has picked the Super Bowl winner for five years running.

For what its worth, I think the Patriots will win as well.
