It features more connectivity options than other graphing calculators in its class, allowing users to transfer data and applications via convenient, industry-standard USB, SD card and serial ports(1) as well as wireless infrared communications.
Users also can customize the calculator by developing and saving programs and macros and by re-assigning key functions so that the most-used functions are at their fingertips.
"With the high-end HP 50g, HP continues to enhance its robust calculator portfolio," said Fred Valdez, general manager, Calculator Division, HP.

From wide-ranging enhancements for the upcoming Microsoft® Windows Vista- operating system to data-mining innovations in SQL Server- to powerful anti-spam filters in Microsoft Office Outlook®, Microsoft Research teams have delivered hundreds of product innovations to Microsoft Corp. customers since 1991.

DVD Player for Xbox
The rollout plans come as the company tries to shore up sales ahead of the arrival later this year of next-generation machines by its two top rivals - Sony and Nintendo Co.
The basic Xbox 360 doesn't come with high-definition DVD capability. The new HD-DVD peripheral, to be launched in Japan on Nov. 22, is seen as an attempt to keep pace with Sony's PlayStation 3. That anxiously awaited upgrade to the PlayStation line will have Sony's new Blu-ray HD-DVD player built in.
The attachment will cost 19,800 yen ($170) in Japan, bringing the combined cost of the basic Xbox 360 and the HD-DVD player to nearly the same price as that anticipated for the PlayStation 3 in Japan.
In choosing Japan for the launch of the HD-DVD add-on, Microsoft is testing a market that is one of the world's biggest but holds a deep allegiance for to homegrown Sony. Microsoft has plans to release the HD-DVD elsewhere, but no specifics about other markets or timing were disclosed.........

Jean Dunand Ultra Limited Wristwatch
From Professional watches:
When I say ultra limited I mean as few as one watch. Their is only one of this particular watch produced. This seems to be a trend with some of the top watchmakers. Jean Dunand offers ultra limited edition watches such as this one for $300,000 to $1,000,000.
I think the idea is pretty cool, however it alllows very little economies of scale and makes the watches affordable only to the richest people in the world. Another manufacturer could produce a similar watch for a fraction of the price and satisfy much more demand and still make more profit overall.........

Robomower To Mow Your Lawn
From: popgadget:
This reminds me of the iRobot vacuum cleaner, except this is for your lawn. The RoboMower RL850 features a "battery-powered three-blade, 21-inch (56cm) powerful cutting system equivalent to a 5.5 HP gas mower".
It cuts your lawn in a systematic crisscross pattern, travelling several times over the grass to make sure it gets every last blade.
How does it work, you ask? You need to install a special electric perimeter wire around your lawn, attached to the surface of the lawn with pegs every few feet. The wire is connected to a small battery powered current source called the Perimeter Switch. The RoboMower has a special senor so it stays inside the electronic fence. Charge it between uses and it's always at your command.
Oh yeah, it's $1,175.99, at Vacation Gadgets.........
