Man, poor Toshiba. The company's already sucked up its pride and started
putting Blu-ray drives in
its laptops, but here's its first stab at a proper standalone player, the
BDX2000, on Best Buy shelves a bit early for $199 -- or $50 less than its announced price. Sure, that makes sense given the falling prices of Blu-ray decks as the holidays approach, but even at that price it's not super competitive with the slew of other decks out there that can do Netflix streaming. We'll see if Tosh's next efforts are a little
more interesting than this, or if this is just more heartbreak than its worth.
[Thanks, Alex]

Milwaukee takes great pride in the fact that they invented the
Sawzall recip saw almost 60 years ago. They really don’t like it when anyone else makes a competitive saw so naturally they are constantly updating and coming out with different versions to be more powerful, durable, lighter, cheaper, faster or some combination thereof. The two new models are both 12 amp models where the 6509-31 has a ¾” stroke and 6519-31 has the 1-1/8” stroke. These should replace the current 6509-22 11 amp models and be similar in price, maybe $120-130 range. The new saws feature a gear protecting clutch to extend the life of saw, counter weight to decrease vibration and claims a 2x faster cut time (not sure what that is comparing). We haven’t gotten an exact date on the release but it should be soon. It will be interesting to see how these perform vs the larger Sawzalls. More info and pricing will be available soon, in the mean time checkout all the
Milwaukee Tools on Ohio Power Tool. Full Milwaukee press Release below.

The seven main characters on SpongeBob SquarePants were supposedly based on the seven deadly sins:
Sloth: Patrick
Wrath: Squidward
Greed: Mr. Krabs
Envy: Plankton
Gluttony: Gary
Pride: Sandy
Lust: SpongeBob
That's right, a talking sponge that wears pants represents lust.
