PC Magazine reviews Creative Zen Vision: M
PC magazine reviewed Creative’s Zen Vision: M and gave it a 4.5/5.0 (”very good”).
Pros: Good design. Excellent screen. Very good audio and video quality. Broad feature set.
Cons: Short battery life. Requires a dongle to sync, charge, and output to TV.
Bottom Line: The Zen Vision:M is our new favorite iPod alternative and should appeal to lots of people, but we have a feeling it’s still not going to sway the iPod-loving masses.
There also was a video of the Creative Zen Vision: M in action!

We’ve already seen the Magenta RAZR, but here’s Verizon offering a Light Pink Version of the classic RAZR. The phone retails online at Verizon’s site for $249.99 with a two year contract. And while the pink phone doesn’t quite fit Verizon’s somber buisnessmen-like phone lineup, we’re all happy for the change this phone brings, as well as the appeal to the female market.
30 Foot Robotic Elephant
This giant 30 foot, robotical elephant paraded through the streets of Nantes, France in commemoration of a Jules Verne centennial celebration.
The elephant not only walked, but also sprayed the crowds with water!
This could only happen in France!
My 0nly question now is: Where is it? and how much does it cost?
Mozart’s Birthday
January 27th marks Mozart’s 250th Birthday. Google saw fit to celebrate it with an appropriate banner:
Born in Salsburg, Austira, Mozart was one of the great musical composers of the classical period who also paved the way for the Romantic period. He was a child prodigy too, composing at the age of five, and playing before royalty such as the Austrian empress at six. Mozart was influenced by other composers, such as J. S. Bach, Georg Handel, and Joseph Hadyn. He is most famous for his works of chamber, piano, particularly his piano concertos, and choral music.
Dance Dance Revolution Fitness Program
Over 157 middle schools in West Virginia have adopted a Dance Dance Revolution fitness program, in an attempt to fight obesity. West Virginia has been consistently in the top states for obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. “If we can get children to change their behavior at a young age they hopefully will grow up to be healthy, active adults, which would have a positive effect on health care costs,” said Carl Callison with Mountain State Blue Cross.
