Walgreens Ink Refill Service not within minutes

I saw a sign for Ink Refills at Walgreens for $10 for black and $15 for color ink. The reason I tried the service is that it stated that within minutes I would get a refilled ink cartridge. Their slogan is "ready in minutes." When I got their they asked me for my name and phone number. And then gave me a receipt for picking it up. I was told a minimum of 1hr if not 2hrs to refill the inkjet cartridge. Doesn't seem to be ready in minutes like the slogan states.

Microsoft pulls plug on HD-DVD Drive


I thought the format wars would drag on for quite sometime. But it looks like the HD-DVD platform is defeated. Microsoft will discontinue their HD-DVD Drive add-on to the Xbox 360. Which means goodbye HD-DVD, Hello high definition digital downloads.

As a result of recent decisions made by Toshiba, Hollywood studios, and retailers, Microsoft plans to withdraw from HD DVD. Xbox will no longer manufacture new HD DVD players for the Xbox 360, but we will continue to provide standard product and warranty support for all Xbox 360 HD DVD Players in the market. As we stated earlier, we do not believe this decision will have any material impact on the Xbox 360 platform or our position in the marketplace. HD DVD is one of the several ways we offer a high definition experience to consumers and we will continue to give consumers the choice to enjoy digital distribution of high definition movies and TV shows directly to their living room, along with playback of the DVD movies they already own.

PDO TopSkin for iPod Touch White Review




I am normally not a fan of silicone rubber cases for my iPods and iPhones. But today I found one that may change my mind. Today I review the PDO TopSkin for iPod Touch.


What’s included: PDO Topskin, wrist strap, and belt clip and screen protector



Design: The PDO TopSkin is made of high quality silicone that is twice as thick as those cheap rubber cases you will find on Ebay. The case has openings for all the functions of the iPod Touch. And even has the opening for the sensor. The silicone rubber gives it off a good texture for less slippage in hand. And the perfectly formed case adds next to no added bulk. And finally this silicone case is less of a dust collector than the other rubber cases.

Function: The PDO Topskin should offer very good protection from falls. It is extra thick to provide maximum protection. The case also accounts for all the functions of the iPhone. And works as if their wasn’t a case on it. Also includes a belt clip


Conclusion: Be assured this is one of the best cases for the iPod Touch. It is of definite high quality that is worth every bit of the $20 price. And when they say you get what you pay for it’s true. Sure you can get a $5 cheap silicone case but it will look and feel like a $5 case. The PDO TopSkin definitely stands out in terms of smooth lines, formed design, great protection, and value you won’t find too often in case.

China Mobile running 400,000 unlocked iPhones


I remember hearing about an article about iPhone's missing in action. Well they must have turned up in China since $400,000 of them are running on China Mobile's cellular network at the end of last year, according to market research firm In-Stat.

Apple has sold 3.7 million on iPhone's in 2007, and more than 10 percent of them are in China. While Apple might not be completely happy with this fact. At least this shows that China is interested in purchasing these smartphones even at high prices.

EngadgetHD reviews Vudu service


EngadgetHD gives the Vudu service a whirl.

Their thoughts on the download service is as follows:

We wanted the VUDU to deliver in such a way that HD freaks could really grab hold if those excruciatingly long wait times encountered with Netflix / Blockbuster were pushing them to find an alternative. Unfortunately, we still can't wholeheartedly recommend the VUDU to those who appreciate high-definition. To be honest, the device still seems grossly overpriced when you consider that the aforementioned rental-by-mail options can be turned on and off on a whim, provide flicks that don't vanish 24 hours after you hit play for the first time, and have HD libraries that far exceed that found on the VUDU.
