We’ve already had a pretty good idea of the reasons for delays with Tesla Motors’ all-electric Roadster vehicle, but it looks like the company’s new CEO, Ze’ev Drori, is now trying to set the record straight himself, with him recently posting a fairly lengthy letter addressing the matter on the company’s blog. That letter is apparently the very same one that was sent to buyers of the car earlier this month and, as you might have guessed if you’ve been following this thing as closely as we have, it pegs most of the blame on the car’s transmission troubles. As we previously reported, that has forced Tesla to ship the roadster with a temporary transmission, which is apparently slower than the final version, but assuredly safe. Drori also confirms that the company will begin full production of the vehicle in the spring of 2008, and that while they plan to ramp up production throughout the year, he admits that some of the initial run of cars won’t be in the hands of customers until early 2009. Among other things, he also attempted to clarify some of the confusion over those initial EPA range targets,saying that the lab that conducted the tests “made a small error in the testing procedure,” resulting in an overstated range figure. According to Drori, the revised figures now stand at 221 miles per charge, although he says the real world figures are actually as high as 267 miles per charge in “slow city driving,” or 165 miles in aggressive highway driving.

Don’t adjust your screens folks, as this actually isn’t a year-end case of déjà vu. Rather, we’re looking to give you an(other) imaginary shot at tweaking the OLPC XO now that it has moved beyond the initiative phase and been productized for the general consumer. In case you’ve been parked squarely under a rock for the last few months, you should know that the XO’s journey through production has been quite a lengthy one, and while a few countries have made substantial bulk purchases to inject these machines into their respective school systems, we’re interested in seeing how the average joe / jane located in a developed nation sees things.

Needless to say, One Laptop Per Child’s “Give One, Get One” program has been quite the success, and by now, we’re confident that some of you have already received your own. ‘Course, we’re sure there’s at least a few of you that chose this over that other low-cost laptop (and many that chose it over this), and we’re curious to know how you’d improve the newly commercialized XO now that it actually has a rival. Yeah, we too would love an even skimpier price tag, but beyond that, what hardware / software changes would you like to see on the next version? Could you stand to have a few more megabytes of RAM? Still yearning for dual-boot capability out of the box? How’s about a design scheme that doesn’t involve opaque white and bright green? As stated, we’re well aware that these things weren’t designed with LAN partiers in mind, but now that NickNeg is offering ‘em up to these very citizens — not to mention every other type of user in North America — why not toss out a few suggestions for making it more suitable for you?

We’re not sure what else there is to know about the WiBrain B1 UMPC — we’ve seen it hands-on, unboxed, and even slightly redesigned — but true gadget pr0n connoisseurs crave only the sweet nectar of FCC reports, and it looks like today is your special Friday. Yep, there it is, and there’s not much of the way in details we didn’t already have — except now you can tear up over both the beautifully ugly lines of this thing and the massively boring RF test results.

The wedding photography is one of specialized form of photography which involves capturing live moments of life. While development of photographs the temperature is crucial to maintain through some appropriate thermometer. And the quality imprints on the photo paper of appropriate quality.

Just got the date for our next event! January 26th will be our first LAN for 2008 and hopefully it will not have a bunch of snow dumping on us that weekend. At ELKC 29.0 we had areas that had 3-5 inches and then in some cases up to 8″ of snow! Yet we had some die hard gamers show up as we had over 60 attending considering we had Christmas weekend and snow but several gamers showed up anyway! The video and photos from that event are on our website for you to view.

I would like to Thank all the people who signed up for an account at madgamernetwork.com to help us win the Wii Contest! Yes, thats right, we won! I will be sure to have the Wii at ELKC 30.0 so we can Wii! It was a tough contest as the guy in second gave us a run at the last hour and we had to overcome a 4 point deficient to take the win. Thanks to madgamernetwork.com for getting us involved and for the t-shirts that we gave away to several winners at ELKC 29.0.

Our lineup for our next event is listed on the site and we look forward to getting everyone together for some all night gaming!

The photography is art and at the same time it is a science too. A great photography requires not only the camera technique but also the understanding of light fixtures to capture breath taking picture. There are number of camera accessories like camera case that help to protect camera and spotlight to give light effect for the pictures.
