			<title>Bill Gates Unleashes The Fury</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/13503/Bill-Gates-Unleashes-The-Fury/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[At a recent conference, Microsoft&#039;s "I&#039;m a PC" campaign took a strange twist when BG himself released a plague upon the crowd. Apparently Petsmart was fresh out of locust, though, so he went with mosquitoes instead. And then the dancing monkey [and the talking walnut] rushed, naked from socks-up, onto the stage chanting something about developers malaria (now he&#039;s just making up words). Silly monkey.

			<title>Comcast Gives Tucson The Business</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/13496/Comcast-Gives-Tucson-The-Business/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[It appears as though somebody with access to Comcast&#039;s Wii&#039;mote wasn&#039;t a big fan of Arizona. Their people are &#039;working tirelessly&#039; to figure out how or why people in Tucson were treated to an unexpected package, by which I mean a penis, slapping about back and forth, after the big Arizona touchdown. My guess: someone was a Steelers fan.

Michael Desir, one of many to have seen the incident, best sums this up with the following:

M. Desir: It&#039;s like my uncle always told me: "Eventually, you&#039;re going to see someone&#039;s cock waving around on television...]]></description>

			<title>Zacuto&#039;s Great HD Video Camera Shootout</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/13412/Zacutos-Great-HD-Video-Camera-Shootout/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I got an email this past Friday from the folks at Zacuto telling me about a test they&#039;ve done that pits the following cameras against one another in a sort of Battle Royale:

Kodak Vision3, Red ONE, Panasonic HPX3000, Panasonic HVX200, Panasonic HVX200, Panasonic HVX200, Sony PMW-EX, Panasonic HPX170, Canon XHA1, Canon 5D MarkII, Nikon D90.

You may notice that a couple of those cameras are DSLRs. I&#039;ve been waiting for someone to put together a test like this - same scene, same lighting, lots of different cameras. And I&#039;m happy to see that the pros think the 5D Mark II&#0...]]></description>

			<title>Silly Brooklyn Bridge...</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/13352/Silly-Brooklyn-Bridge/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[So I figured tonight I would try to get some great images of the city at night, including some of the beautiful bridges. My cousin Steve was nice enough to drive around with me to find the perfect locations. Around midnight we find a nice park overlooking the city and I take some photos and panoramic images. Then I decide we should try to find an even better spot, and we find one at about 1am. After fending off a bunch of rats in another park, I get my camera and tripod setup and begin taking my first few images to determine proper settings for a beautiful panoramic. Just for kicks, I take ...]]></description>

			<title>Kurtis + Camera + NYC... Day 5</title>

			<description><![CDATA[In case you&#039;re not keeping up with all the important me-related news... I&#039;m uploading shots from each day of my NYC trip to a flickr set, so check &#039;em out if you haven&#039;t already. Please feel free to comment on the photos on flickr or email me with any questions.

Today I headed over to Times Square in mid-town to get a few of the typical shots and to try to get some creative new takes on probably one of the biggest tourist spots. I spent much of my time shooting for a series idea I had involving [relatively] long exposures in daylight (1 second), to de-emphasize the ac...]]></description>

Today I strolled through Central Park for a bit again, mainly around the &#039;mall&#039; area and Bethesda fountain... Then I headed back downtown towards NYU and the SoHo area... And then I took the a train back uptown to Rockefeller center, hoping to get to the &#039;Top of The Rock&#039; to catch the sunset over NYC, but I was a bit late to that party so I hung out for a bit aro...]]></description>

			<title>Kurtis + Camera + NYC = Win</title>

			<description><![CDATA[I just thought I&#039;d make a quick post to mention that I&#039;m in NYC through October 28th (I got here on the 18th) to take photos in the city. Some of you already know I&#039;m a photographer at heart, and I decided it&#039;s time to start pursuing the craft aggressivly in my spare time. I&#039;m uploading shots each day to a flickr set, so check &#039;em out. There&#039;s a lot already, and I still have 5 days of shooting left!

[As a side note... Before I left for NYC I installed a 500GB laptop drive in my Macbook Pro, which only had 20GB of free space left on a 320GB I&#039;d inst...]]></description>

			<title>Improved Hot Deals</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/13155/Improved-Hot-Deals/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[For a long time now, we&#039;ve had the Hot Deals link at the top of the page. There was a time when it was full of really amazing deals - I purchased several Dell displays and computer systems over the years with huge discounts, and I even bought some lenses and then sold them for a profit thanks to the deals. Unfortunately, the quality of the deals has been going downhill for the last year or so... That&#039;s about to change.

We&#039;ve struck up a partnership with DealNews.com so that we can provide better deals than ever before, with improved functionality and helpful Hotness rating...]]></description>

			<title>Best Buy HD DVD Gift Cards Like Totally For Real</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/12627/Best-Buy-HD-DVD-Gift-Cards-Like-Totally-For-Real/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[
Many months ago I purchased my first HDTV, and I wanted to take full advantage of its capabilities so I ended up purchasing both an Xbox 360 + HD DVD add-on and a Playstation 3. The format war didn&#039;t seem like it was coming to an end anytime soon, and I was impatient. It didn&#039;t some as much of a surprise when Toshiba officially announced the death of HD DVD, but what did come as a surprise is the email I received from Best Buy shorty thereafter.

The email basically said how they were sorry for my poor choice in techno-gadgetry, but that they were dedicated to my satisfaction ...]]></description>

			<title>Rhetorical question of the day</title>

			<description><![CDATA[

Last week I bought an Xbox 360. I&#039;ve been thinking of getting an HDTV recently, and I was bored, so I figured i&#039;d get the console and it would be even more fun when I do take a dip in the HD pool. My experience up until now has been positive. And by "up until now" I mean now I&#039;m not so happy with it.

I was minding my own business, playing Forza Motorsport 2, when I suddenly realized that in horizontal orientation, the green player indicator light on the front of the Xbox was oriented differently than I&#039;d remembered. Then I suddenly thought to myself... Ooo, I bet ...]]></description>
