If I remember correctly, some of my friends hide their money in between books. 

Of course, there are times when they forget about the money in the book, and eventually remember it a couple of years down the road.

This time, people from Bennie and Olive found a way to hide more than just money. 

From LATimes Website:

A woman going through security at Los Angeles International Airport put her month-old grandson into a plastic bin intended for carry-on items and slid it into an X-ray machine.

The early Saturday accident — bizarre but not unprecedented — caught airport workers by surprise, even though the security line was not busy at the time, officials said.

A screener watching the machine's monitor immediately noticed the outline of a baby and pulled the bin backward on the conveyor belt.

From all of us here in Hardwarezone Philippines, We would like to wish all our readers a very, Merry Christmas!

May god bless all of you and keep you safe in this coming year.

Watch out for 2007!

Regards,

If there is one sure way of making computer management more fun, it's to give it a GUI - as in 'Game User Interface"! Dennis Chao was able to modify the source code of the original Doom released by iD Software to spawn, hurt and kill processes - in the form of shotgun-wielding zombie sergeants. If AI was applied to these moving processes, then we might just have a mini-matrix world here. More of this gruesome yet entertaining thought at Mr. Chao's website.

A little game of The Price is Right before we begin....

How much did these two items fetch on EBay?

Well?

After you have guessed, do read on and see how much these two items fetched on the ever dependable EBay...

Kingston Technology Company Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, made children from CRADLE happy by celebrating a Christmas Charity Party called: "CRADLE’s Christmas Charity Party." Around 100 children from the Center for Restorative Activities, Development and Learning Experiences were invited to see the movie Happy Feet and celebrate with Kingston this yuletide season.

This is just in. According to NYTimes, Nintendo is having a total recall for its Nintendo Wii straps.

This is probably because of the various reports from different Wii owners that their Wii controllers "destoyed" their expensive sets. 

How? 

Most of us probably have tons of computer gunk hidden away in our PCs. In fact, as we install more and more computer programs unto our computer, one will probably notice that everything just seems slower. Now, before you even think of tinkering with your computers hardware, maybe you can first make Windows load faster...

Oh yes, Christmas is just around the corner... In fact 'tis actually the season to be jolly, to share our love, and to forgive those who have sinned against us. Bury the hatchet and look forward to a new year.

Yes. It's really the time to love.

But little did you know, inanimate objects need lovin' too. Laptops become so lonely that they need a companion.

Yes, USB Meets LOVE...

Don't read on if you are not 18 or above...

Okay, let's continue then...

*Sigh* People never learn...

Yes, a scammer has done it again, this time in a parking lot outside Mickey D's (McDonalds).

I've always seen ASIMO at its finest: ASIMO can walk, talk, greet people, interact, and climb the stairs. Wait, did I just say ASIMO can climb the stairs? Watch the video (or fastforward it to around 55 seconds) and see the overly cocky ASIMO climb the stairs while looking at the audience, fall down, and just lie down on the floor until his "medics" come to the rescue.

Oh poor, poor ASIMO.

Tell me what you guys think. :)

Want a Nintendo Wii but don't have the funds for it? Love your Nintendo DS so much that you spend more time with it than with your significant other? Fear not as this product is just around the corner...

What do you think this gadget is for?

He looks really weird with a big projector on his leg, but this might pave the way to the next-generation entertainment we are all looking for...
