Plan Ahead For Visiting National Parks In 2009
December 29, 2008
US (ChattahBox) – In an increasingly developing world, it isn’t surprising that more people are turning to nature to balance things out. Which is why national parks are quickly becoming the most popular vacation spots, taking the place of locations like DisneyLand and the beach, which have so long dominated the travel scene.
A look at the new Mac Book
November 28, 2008
(ChattahBox) — Looks like Steve Jobs and his team down at Apple Corp have done it again. At first glance, the new Mac Book released this October of 2008 is exquisite. The design is meticulous in detail as one would expect from an Apple. The new Mac Book still adheres to the simple-yet-beautiful philosophy. The sculpted lines are still minimalist in character with the glossy display, the sunken keyboard design, and the non-mechanical magnetic latch still intact which are all inherited from its ancestor–the iBook G4.
Enough with drooling over the aesthetics. The main question is: “Does the Mac Book pack the goodies?” Apple had announced that it was bringing some exciting but still costly technology to the new Mac book.

If Santa won’t bring your little girl that pony she has been dreaming of for Christmas, maybe this will suffice. We follow the adventures of our favorite little ponies as they celebrate Christmas in Ponyville, where Minty the little green pony puts a merry Christmas in jeopardy when she accidentally breaks the beacon that guides Santa to their town. Minty and her friends show all that the true meaning of Christmas is the spirit of friendship for each other no matter what.
The story itself is what we would expect from a My Little Pony adventure, and for sure the little ones aren’t really looking for story here. The set comes with a Minty decoration for your tree! Read more

Dr. No
Blu-Ray Review
Publisher: 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment
Street Date: October 21st 2008
In what was the first of the seemingly endless stream of James Bond movies, Dr. No is re-released on Blu-ray technology with the benefit of 1080p and DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio is fantastic. Revitalizing a cornerstone film of this franchise from 1962 and have it come out looking as stunning as it does is a triumph in itself. There is even a featurette on the disc containing the work done to restore the film. Read more
