Shownotes:
The BenQ GP1 Pocket Projector is the first to use LED lights. It weighs 1.5 pounds with a 20,000 hour lamp life.
Santok released a DC power splitter that includes two USB slots, and it’s designed in the Wall-E/Minoru cute little robot looking way.
The Dallas Cowboys unveiled the world’s largest HD display. It cost $40 million, is 180×72 feet (actually there are two of them) and uses LED lights.
Sharp’s Aquos DX 20-Inch HDTV has Blu-ray but only a resolution of 1366×768.
People with kids and dogs running around the back yard might be interested in the Powerloo, a professionally installed system for flushing away the poo.

Huh? I thought that Dallas display was the one I told you about many Briefs ago. Did they update it?

WALL-E is not a rip-off of ET; he’s a rip off of Johnny #5 from the “Short Circuit” movies. That’s actually what made me watch WALL-E. I loved the “Short Circuit” movies when I was a kid.
The Sharp TV with Blu-Ray makes a lot of sense to me because if you have one Blu-Ray player and you buy lots of movies, you’ll want the ability to play them with all their features on all your TVs. Also if you rent Blu-Rays you won’t get the regular DVD version even if the retail version includes it.

Got my dog one of those Powerloos, but he’s having trouble holding down the pedal to lift the lid while he does his business. He also leaves the lid up on purpose so the cats fall in.
