height="329" style="display:block;float:none;" /World of Warcraft player/dorkmaster supreme
Bradster has caved to his smack addiction-like dependence on WoW and created 36 separate accounts
that he plays simultaneously on an epically ridiculous rig. He claims to spend over $5700 per year
just on the game, and plans to pick up 36 copies of the new expansion pack emWrath of the Lich
King/em when it's released./p pI've never played World of Warcraft. I'm not sure if the
abbreviation is pronounced by spelling out the letters W-O-W or if you just saw "wow." It seems
like the kind of thing where you have to know the different between an elf and an orc, and I gotta
be honest, I just don't care. But this is so over-the-top that I'm almost interested in finding the
one true ring or banging lady-dwarves or whatever you do in that game. Bradster's setup features a
whopping seven separate laptops, four desktops hidden away under the desk, and an array of screens
that's disorienting even in a static image. He might be the only person on earth who's capable of
using the a

think of at least three hard drugs that would be more expensive. [a

than half an hour? Do you make out in the library while sitting next to a Gizmodo writer, totally
unaware that someday he'll grumpily complain about you in a post? Well, I have the perfect mp3
player for you and your equally annoying significant other. The Twinned MP3 Player concept is
actually two mp3 players, capable of holding only one playlist each: the same one. When combined,
in that adorable spooning position, you can plug 'em into the computer to load your songs, but when
separated, they can only play back the tunes you and your partner have chosen together. Just the
one playlist. Forever. At least it's easier to throw away than a matching tattoo. It's definitely
just a concept for now, with no mention of basics like how you control the thing, let alone price
or release date. [a

width="494" height="370" style="display:block;float:none;" /Thanks to about a million tips, I've
been forced to sit through the new Britney Spears music video for "Womanizer" because the flashy
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic 'Tube' makes an appearance. The phone is used to take a picture of a
ridiculously be-wigged Britney before she violently attacks the photographer and slams his face
into a photocopier, sending the poor phone flying. But that's not the end of the technology in the
video!/p pobject width="494" height="399"param name="movie"

allowfullscreen="true" width="494" height="399"/objectI won't get into any depth on the song,
because this is Gizmodo and when a song only has two words and both of them are "womanizer," it's
tough to glean any gadget connection. But the Nokia first makes an appearance at breakfast, when
Britney's antagonist checks his calendar to see what kind of womanizing he'll get up to today. img

width="494" height="369" style="display:block;float:none;" /br Okay, a square egg is easy, you can
just cut the white into whatever shape you want. But the YOLK is square too! Britney should stop
singing and open a restaurant, because that's goddamn amazing. Luckily, all this happens in the
first minute so you don't need to sit through the awful inane screeching for too long. [- emThanks,

solid-state disk (SSD) market in 2009, starting the company's switch from hard disk drives (HDD).
Their first target: corporate America. Once they've got the cubicle commanders, they'll move to
consumers. Seagate senior manager Rich Vignes seems to be awfully defensive about this incredibly
obvious move, stating over and over that they'll take it slow, that analysts really do think SSDs
are reliable, and that this is the wave of the future. Of course, if you're reading Giz, chances
are your response to the announcement is "Duh." But Seagate stepping into the SSD ring means we're

height="280" style="display:block;float:none;" /CNN reports that General Electric has created a
giant OLED panel printer to be specifically used for lighting. The "semi-trailer" sized machine
prints out thin layers of flexible plastic, covers them with chemicals, and seals them with foil,
so they'll glow a frosty blue-white if an electrical current is applied. But these OLED sheets
aren't exactly lightbulb substitutes./p pOur current incandescent and a
href="http://gizmodo.com/5061088/question-of-the-day-have-you-made-the-switch-to-cfls"CFL/a bulbs
are super bright and super small, which is why we have to artfully cover them with lampshades or,
in my case, a purple silk scarf, because I know what the ladies like. These new OLEDs are
substantially dimmer, so they'd be used in large panels to create a softer light. Imagine a
windowshade of the new lights, so when lowered at night, light still seems to be filtering in from
outside. Or hell, just wallpaper your bedroom in the stuff, since no fixture is required. The
caveats: they do, of course, still need a power source, their lifespan isn't up to par, and they're
incredibly expensive right now. GE hopes to get the kinks worked out and the panels into production
by 2010. [a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/10/10/sheets.of.light.oleds.ap/index.html"CNN/a]/p

Dell, purveyors of computers and such, currently have the best price on a really decent Sharp
Aquos, the 42" LC-42SB45U with 1080p resolution. It's $899, and shipping is free, though you will
have to pay sales tax. By contrast, Amazon's starting price on this model is $972, and the shopping
sites tend to list it anywhere from $1,000 to $1,300. We haven't reviewed this particular model,
but we like Sharp. If you're in the market for a decent LCDmdash;and are among the unique few in
this country with some ready cashmdash;I say have at it. The deal disapparates on Monday. [a
