of course, since this is Philips, the lights are rather expensive. There are cheaper brands with less quality. The intensity decreases much faster and there's paler colors.

bvdbos writes: "After months of hard work, finally Sunbird 0.5 and Lightning 0.5 are released. Among the changes (list of bugfixes) are support for sending and receiving invitations, support for working hours, better integration of Lightning in Thunderbird and support for google calendars. Time to ditch your competing calendar products?"
Submission + - Where are all the HDD + DVD Recorders???
airider writes: Has anyone noticed that the combination of Hard Disk Drive (HDD) + DVD Recorders has dried up in the U.S.? Unless you are a Tivo subscriber or get it from your cable/satellite TV provider, independent Digital Video Recorders are non-existent. I find this rather interesting and irritating since I bought one of the early Lite-On models (us.liteonit.com) but can't get it anymore. Even thought it is missing a few features I'd like, I LOVE that I don't have to pay a subscription to use it to record anything I want. Models were available from Sony, Pioneer and others less than a year ago from Crutchfield (www.crutchfield.com), BestBuy (www.bestbuy.com) and others. If you scan these stores and websites today however, you will not find a single HDD included with the DVD recorders. What I want to know is, why? Conspiracy? New models that are High Def compliant haven't hit the shelves? No demand?
Just wondering if any of you folks have noticed this as well and have any insight into why, what I considered as the best option to VCR's, has gone away....at least in the U.S.???
For some reason you can still get these devices and newer models outside the U.S.

Submission + - Egyptian Government Jailing Bloggers
Chardish writes: "The UK Telegraph is reporting that the Egyptian government has begun jailing bloggers critical of the regime. Shortly before his capture, one of the now-jailed bloggers posted that he had been suspicious that the police were spying on him. Another claims he was tortured. How long before bloggers start being forced offshore to free-speech-friendly countries?"
