New Higher-Capacity MovinCool PC7 Personal Space Cooler

MovinCool ® announced a new, more powerful version of its PC7 portable spot air conditioner. The new model’s cooling capacity of 9,000 Btu/h, an almost 30 percent increase over the previous version, is made possible by a more efficient design, which provides greater airflow over both the evaporator and condenser. The unit operates without a condensate tank, eliminating the need for a drain line or manual emptying of condensate. Environmentally friendly features include the use of non-ozone-depleting R410A refrigerant.

“Our compact PC7 is based on the same spot-cooling concept as our larger systems,” said John Doran, senior manager, Commercial and Industrial Systems. “It’s a convenient,affordable way for our customers with smaller air-conditioning needs, such as small businesses and offices, to get quick cooling relief.”
The PC7 is the smallest of MovinCool’s line of portable spot air conditioners. Its compact size and suggested list price of $595 make it ideal for small businesses and officesthat do not have central air conditioning, or wherever supplemental or emergency cooling is needed.
Like all MovinCool spot air conditioners, the self-contained PC7 requires no refrigerant connections. Installation consists of simply wheeling it into place and plugging it into a standard 110-V outlet. A flexible duct with an easily attachable window adapter vents hot air outside.

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer in Low Supply, Plagued by Component Shortages

If you were hoping to get your hands on one of the nicely priced ASUS Eee Pad Transformers , you might have to wait until mid-summer.
Netbook News is reporting that components shortages are plaguing production of the impressive Android-based tablet. Rather than manufacturer the target 300,000 devices per month, ASUS has been able to deliver at a rate of 10,000 per month.
Component shortages have been particularly widespread since the 9-magnitude earthquake devastated Japan in March. Analysts predicted that the problem could be a bane to many companies in the second quarter of the year, affecting even major players like Apple .
ASUS is expected to be able to ramp up production of the Transformer in mid-June, when more components are to become available.

Sony warns of another 24.6 million users hacked

Sony says that hackers may have stolen the personal details of an extra 24.6 million users after an intrusion at Sony Online Entertainment, or SOE, its multiplayer online gaming service.

 Sony has warned of a second big security breach, saying that hackers may have stolen the personal details of 24.6 million multiplayer online game users, including passwords, names, addresses and credit card information.

This is on top of the 77 million users who the company admitted last week may have had their personal data stolen after the PlayStation Network was hacked.
The latest data theft is connected not with PlayStation, but rather it affects accounts registered with Sony Online Entertainment, or SOE, that company’s popular multiplayer online gaming service.

Sony said that hackers may have stolen about 12,700 credit card or debit card numbers from countries outside the United States, as well as 10,700 direct debit records of users in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain.

An ongoing investigation by Sony revealed that the latest attack by hackers may have occurred on April 16 and 17, earlier than the PlayStation breach which occurred from April 17-19, the company said.

The latest data hack is another setback for Sony, with the bad news coming just days after executives with the Japanese company apologized to gamers and promised a security overhaul of its PlayStation Network.

As a result of the security breach, Sony has temporarily shut its service to multiplayer online games available on personal computers, Facebook and PlayStation 2. Sony said it will give players an extra 30 days on their subscriptions, plus one day for each day the system is down.

Bethenny Frankel's Skinnygirl cocktails reportedly fetched $120 million

Fortune Brands' Beam Global Spirits and Wine unit paid approximately $120 million for the Bethenny Ever After star's Skinnygirl low-calorie margarita brand when it acquired it last month.

Launched 18 months ago with liquor-industry veteran David Kanbar while she was still co-starring in The Real Housewives of New York City, Frankel's Skinnygirl Margarita -- a bottled cocktail that contains only 100 calories per four-ounce serving -- had only limited distribution (mostly in New York, New Jersey and Florida) at the time of its sale but was in such high demand that the company had been unable to keep up.

Pippa's secret will break hearts worldwide



IT WAS the day Royal Maid of Honour Pippa Middleton dazzled the world in a dress that left very little to the imagination ... but it emerged that she may have kept something secret after all. 
 
For it seems that Carole and Michael's second daughter is engaged in all but name to her City broker boyfriend Alex Loudon.

The couple have stayed silent about the future of their relationship for fear of detracting attention from William and Kate.

If rumours of an official announcement later this year are true, they will cause widespread disappointment, for it seems that in the wake of "That Dress", Pippa could have her pick of suitors.

The sensational fluid white column made by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen was an unusual choice both for its bridal colour and its curve-enhancing cling.

In an act of sisterly generosity, Kate must have sanctioned it in the full knowledge that it would showcase Pippa's fabulous figure, deep tan and glossy hair to perfection on the world stage.

Osama killed in mansion outside Islamabad?

WASHINGTON: Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is dead, and President Barack Obama will announce his death, nearly 10 years after the September 11 attacks in a televised address, a senior US official said.

The official said that Bin Laden was dead, but did not provide details of how his death occurred.

US media quoted sources as saying that Bin Laden was killed in an operation based on actionable US intelligence targeting a mansion outside Islamabad.

Obama was imminently to address Americans in a highly unusual Sunday night appearance on television.

The death of Bin Laden will raise huge questions about the future shape of al Qaeda and also have steep implications for US security and foreign policy 10 years into a global anti-terror campaign. (AFP)
