| Sony NSC-GC1 Net-Sharing Cam
The final word: While the NSC-GC1 cannot hope to compete with a dedicated camcorder, it provides an affordable introduction to video sharing over the internet. If you plan to screen your video creations exclusively online, you won't be disappointed. THE proliferation of video-sharing websites has caused a steady stream of dedicated peripherals to enter the marketplace; each jostling for a prime position on the YouTube gravy train. First and foremost amongst these is the web-share cam, which combines the ease of use of a webcam with the functionality of a video camera. While traditionally the domain of small-time vendors, Sony has decided to join the fray with the NSC-GC1; a pocket-sized handycam tailor-made for online video sharing. With an RRP of just $299, the NSC-GC1 is very much a bare-bones device, aimed squarely at casual users who aren't overly fussed by fancy features or high resolution.
As Cavaliers wait for new players from trade, they sign 2 others to ...
James has not yet commented on the megadeal, which Cavs GM Danny Ferry said was necessary to give his team a shot at an NBA title. It was strange watching the Cavs exit the practice floor without any sign of Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Donyell Marshall, Ira Newble, Shannon Brown or Cedric Simmons. "I was sad to see those guys go," center Zydrunas Ilgauskas said. "We'll have to see how it all works out." The four newest Cavaliers must pass physicals before they can play. And even if they're cleared, they won't make their Cleveland debut until Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. In the mean time, coach Mike Brown has to make due with what he's got. Fortunately, he's got James. "We do have LeBron," he said. "So that does help out." Browns understands it may take time for his revamped team to mesh.

Christie invite 'a mistake'
Former sprinter Linford Christie will not take part in a relay carrying the Olympic torch through London, it has been confirmed. Christie received a letter from London Mayor Ken Livingstone inviting him to take part in April's torch procession, but a spokesman for the Mayor said it had been sent by mistake. The Mayor's spokesman said: "The decision to invite Linford Christie to be a torchbearer was not taken by the Mayor. The decision to invite Linford Christie was taken by officials and was a mistake." The 47-year-old has a lifetime Olympic ban after testing positive for the steroid nandrolone in 1999, and international Olympic officials condemned the decision to invite him to the torch event. Christie, who won gold in the 100m at the 1992 Barcelona games and has always denied taking the banned drug, was sent the letter "as a formality", the spokesman said.
Candidates offer final messages before Iowa caucus
I have always admired your family and the things they stood for. I was in college when that fatal day came and we no longer had our inspiration, your brother. I am disappointed in who you are endorsing. To think about all the times that the Clintons were here for you, and now you just put them aside. I think about it, and I thougt you were above the good old boys. Not so sure about that now. Hillary, a women. Maybe that just does not sit well with you Kennedys. I just don't understand. She is a great lady that certainly helped your party out by staying with Bill. The party owes her more than a senate seat. She should have all of you out there shouting her attributes. It was alright for Bill to be used to get votes for our new governor. He also has a short memory. I will have a hard time voting for either one of you because of this.
