Altoid Tin Case for Creative Zen Micro (Feb 01 2005 13:30 GMT) - [Meerkat: An Open Wire Service] - While Creative's "declaration of war" against the iPod was sort of goofy considering their relative sales this holiday season, the Zen Micro still did a very respectable amount of business (around 2 million units, if I recall correctly).

Robosapien V2, RoboRaptor, and RoboPet Release Dates (Feb 01 2005 13:30 GMT) - [Meerkat: An Open Wire Service] - GadgetMadness confirms the release date of WowWee's next set of Robots and I have to say I'm disappointed. While I'm not looking forward to paying $200 for a Robosapien V2, I'm most certainly not looking forward to waiting until December before I can get my hands on one. The RoboRaptor [pictured] will launch for $100 in August, which might sooth me, although I may wait to go cheap in October and get one of the ambiguously named Robotpets for $70 instead. Or I'll do what I did with the first Robo... |

Ecademy change request [Faraz Rizvi] (Feb 01 2005 13:29 GMT) - Hi, I imagine that this has been discussed before, but I have an issue with the current messaging functionality. As a Green Star member I'm allowed up to 20 people in my network and have certain limitations in what I can do on the site. All of this is fine by me (it's what the membership levels are for). However the problem is that I'm unable to reply to messages sent to me (after the first one) as I've 'exceeded my network limit'. I can understand this restriction if I was initiating the conversation with another member, but this is about replying to someone else's messages. |

Police Tips Aid In Finding duFresne Murder Suspect (Feb 01 2005 13:28 GMT) - Rudy Fleming, a 19 year-old who has been serving parole for previous weapons charges, was charged with first-degree and second-degree murder, as well as robbery and criminal posession, in the murder of Brooklyn actress-playwright Nicole duFrense. Police have also charged two others in connection to a robbery earlier on the Lower East last Thursday morning. A number of police tips helped the NYPD find the individuals involved with the crime, but it turns out that a brother and sister in the group that had approached duFresne and her friends told their father that their cousin, Fleming, had killed a woman during a robbery. Servano Simmon, Fleming's uncle and godfather, had been letting Flemind stay at the Barush House projects on the Lower East Side. Simmon said: |
