[From JDiel] TamsPalm talks about how to get Nintendo GameBoy Color games running on your Palm device. Read it I know some of you will find it useful. “From the moment that I got my Treo 600, I wanted to play Nintendo GameBoy Color games on it. The OMAP CPU should be more than strong enough for the average gameboy game, and the 3 MEGs of RAM should also suffice. Getting the games running was a bit tricky – here is how I did it….”

They’re mostly total yawners, but Princeton has a new lineup of decently priced LCDs due in Japan later this month. The only monitor of particular note is their new PTFWHF-19W widescreen 19-incher, which sports a 1,440 x 900 resolution, 5ms response time, 300 nits of brightness and a 700:1 contrast ratio. There’s also a built-in speaker and DVI port, but that’s about as exciting as it gets. The PTFWHE-17 follows up with 17-inches at 1,280 x 1,024 res, but a lame 12ms response time, while the PTFWHE-15 makes do with an XGA resolution, 250 nits of brightness and 8ms response times. At least the prices are a bit more fun, since the LCDs go for 34,800 Yen ($295 US), 25,800 Yen ($219 US) and 24,800 ($210 US) respectively. Oh, and in case you hadn’t noticed, you get your pick of white or black, so choose wisely, friend.

You’d think they’d have enough of these HD LCDs of theirs to be getting on with by now, but JVC Victor just can’t seem to resist another size/res combo if afforded to them, and we can’t really complain when they’re dropping 1,920 x 1,080 displays like this. Their new 42-inch LT-42LH800 and 37-inch LT-37LH800 HDTVs have plenty to love under the hood, including 500 nits of brightness, 14-bit “GENESSA” processing and that lovable “MaxxBass” spec that JVC is so fond of. Plugs are aplenty as well, with dual HDMI, a single D4 plug, component, i.LINK, Ethernet and optical audio out. The prices aren’t quite so fun, but 450,000 Yen ($3,815 US) and 350,000 Yen ($2,967 US) aren’t terrible pricetags for some 42-inch and 37-inch displays with this kind of spec love. Both displays should be out in early November.

The Escopetarras combines a guitar and gun into one device It was created by Cesar Lopez, who got the inspiration “while standing outside a bombed Bogotá club and noticing the similarities between his guitar and a soldier’s rifle.â€
Partnering up with musical instrument craftsman, Luis Alberto Paredes, he has been creating the instruments ever since. Initially made out of Winchester rifles, they are now made mostly from everyone’s favorite Cold War assault rifle, the AK47
