A ton of unannounced HP laptops and desktops just came across our desk, in addition to those Envy models we saw just a few days back. Ahead of what we presume will be their formal announcement next week right around CES, we've got some details on 14 new models -- some more interesting than others. Now, before you get too excited, we don't have full specs on any of these, but we do have pricing information, and here are some highlights: the 14-inch HP Pavilion dv4i, a Windows 7 laptop with a flush display and fingerprint reader that should run about $785. Up next is the 10-inch Mini 210 HD Edition, which will come in red, black, silver and blue, boast Intel's brand new Pine Trail platform (a 1.66GHz N450 CPU), plus GMA 3150 graphics. Another goodie here is that this one is expected to ship with Broadcom's Crystal HD video playback chip. The Mini 210 HD is expected to cost around $330. Logic Buy (the point of origin for all this info) is reporting that these models should ship on or around January 7th, though keep in mind that all of this information is extremely unofficial, so don't blame us if it all changes. If you simply can't get enough, hit the gallery for a look at a few of the systems, and check the rest of the story after the break.

The Danish police arrived in the nick of time and shot the assailant, preventing him from executing his murder plot. Westergaard is the Danish cartoonist who drew "a caricature ... depicting Muhammad wearing a turban shaped like a bomb with a fuse". "In 2005 the Jyllands-Posten newspaper published [the] caricature ... Islamic tradition says no image of the prophet should be produced or shown. [Consequently] Danish embassies were attacked [by Muslims] including the one in Damascus which was burned down in 2006 and death threats against Westergaard forced him into hiding. In March 2008 Denmark's three main newspapers reprinted the cartoon after the arrest of three men for plotting to murder the artist.The three – a Dane of Moroccan origin and two Tunisians – were picked up in a dawn raid near Aarhus following a long surveillance operation by the country's intelligence services, the PET." This latest attempt, by the Somalian thug, to murder Westergaard is yet another example of the brutality of Islam. reporter 2010-01-02T07:50:37+00:00 //slashdot.org/submission/1143320/Do-You-Have-Obsessive-Robsten-Disorder?from=rss Symptoms and signs to know if you're obsessed with the couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Anonymous Coward 2010-01-02T07:34:34+00:00 //slashdot.org/submission/1143316/Rich-Cling-to-Life-to-Beat-Tax-Man-in-2010?from=rss The Wall Street Journal reports that starting January 1, 2010 the estate tax — which can erase nearly half of a wealthy person's estate — goes away completely for a year but is scheduled to return in 2011 at a 55% rate with an exemption of slightly more than $1 million presenting some families with unprecedented ethical quandaries. "I have two clients on life support, and the families are struggling with whether to continue heroic measures for a few more days," says estate lawyer Joshua Rubenstein. The macabre situation stems from 2001, when Congress raised estate-tax exemptions, culminating with the tax's disappearance next year. However, due to budget constraints, lawmakers didn't make the change permanent. So the estate tax is due to come back to life in 2011 — at a higher rate and lower exemption. Estate-tax experts didn't expect Congress to allow the tax to lapse, and are flabbergasted that it is actually happening. "I've been practicing for more than 30 years, and never has the timing of death made such a financial difference," says Dennis Belcher, president of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel. "People have a hard enough time talking about death and addressing estate planning without this." Of course, plenty of taxpayers themselves have been eager to live to see the new year. But one wealthy, terminally ill real-estate entrepreneur has told his doctors he is determined to live until the law changes. "Whenever he wakes up," says his lawyer, "He says: 'What day is it? Is it January 1 yet?'" pickens 2010-01-02T07:26:25+00:00 //slashdot.org/submission/1143314/Browsing-and-Facebook-More-Fun-With-Flock?from=rss Sekarang ini facebook sudah menjadi situs jejaring sosial yang paling banyak dikunjungi oleh pengguna internet di dunia, nah. pernahkah anda berpikir untuk membuka browser sekaligus dapat melihat orang – orang yang online dan melakukan update status tanpa membuka situs facebook itu sendiri???Dengan browser flock pertanyaan anda akan tejawab,,, Anonymous Coward 2010-01-02T07:19:33+00:00 //slashdot.org/submission/1143312/Inchecken-vlucht-en-Internet-check-in-op-httpww?from=rss Contact voor online inchecken, luchtvaartmaatschappijen check-in, Contact voor online inchecken en luchthaven online inchecken of via internet check-in van http://www.checkmein.eu/ Anonymous Coward 2010-01-02T07:01:11+00:00
