Toshiba HD DVD players surfs web too
While it looks as though HD DVD is losing more and more ground to Blu-ray with each press release, Toshiba isn’t going to take this lying down. The company has just made available a firmware update that lets HD DVD players go online and access Web content on HD DVD titles through the player’s built-in Ethernet ports. This means users can enjoy extra content from movie studios’ online services or unlock extra content hidden on the HD DVD disc with a decent Internet connection. Will this boost HD DVD movie sales, or is it just a short term gimmick? Toshiba HD DVD players can download firmware updates automatically as long as they’re connected to the Internet.

An exercise machine for the lazy is somewhat an oxymoron, but oxymorons are an everyday reality in life (honest politicians, anyone?). Panasonic has just launched the Raku Raku Walk (Easy Walk) exercise machine that enables you to walk while seated. Yes, can you imagine just how little calories you burn with this thing? Apparently, it is meant to give you an aerobic experience around the knees - so I guess it is better for women as they tend to develop “weak legs” later on in life. The Raku Raku Walk machine will be released this September, but the price has yet to be confirmed.
