| Toshiba After HD DVD: What Lies Ahead?
As recently as late January Microsoft was pushing its HDi technology at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. And Toshiba and Microsoft have revealed that the larger vision for HDi included a universe where multiple devices--including portable media players, servers, and content stored on the Internet--would use HDi to talk with one another.

Jenice Armstrong: Rocawear picks Philly writer
PHILLY-BASED novelist Daaimah S. Poole deserves a shoutout, most recently for her recognition by Rocawear, the hip-hop-clothing giant. Poole, whose latest book is "All I Want Is Everything" (Kensington, $14.95), was selected after submitting a video on which she talks about her struggles as a teenage, single mother who landed a major publishing deal without even owning a computer. A graduate of Overbrook High, Poole used to type on the computers in Temple University's library until closing time. I got to know Poole (who was discovered by literary whiz Karen E. Quinones Miller) after editing her first book, "Yo Yo Love." A spokeswoman for Rocawear says Poole will be featured on the Web site www.Iwillnotlose.org. In addition to Poole, Jay-Z's I Will Not Lose Campaign is spotlighting singer Ciara and Nicole Paultre-Bell, fiancee of Sean Bell, who was killed in a hail of 50 bullets on the eve of his wedding after leaving a New York strip bar.

ELECTION 2008: MCA pits novice against Lim Kit Siang
MCA is placing so much faith in its record in Perak that it was willing to field a novice against DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang in the Ipoh Barat parliamentary seat. The candidate - Liew Mun Hon, a 32-year-old engineer, will pit his wits and sizeable party machinery against the veteran Lim. This was apparent after Perak MCA unveiled its list of candidates - 11 new faces in 16 state seats, including two women, and five new candidates among seven parliamentary contenders. The two women candidates, Christina Teoh Ai Ling, 32, and Yew Sau Kham, 54, had been named for the Menglembu (now held by DAP) and Teja state seats.
Perak MCA chairman and party's secretary general Datuk Ong Ka Chuan announced the name of candidates. He also listed a nine-point strategy for the election.
