Well, we’ve pushed through another week of news. Obama is gaining in the polls thanks to a little shove from Oprah, Ike Turner died after having finally winning another Grammy for his last album of traditional Blues songs, Waterboarding has been declared illegal, the iPhone is Time Magazine’s technology of the year, and Nintendo is instituting a “Raincheck” program to mitigate Wii shortages.

What about NBC moving its shows over to SanDisk’s new Fanfare service which works with their new TakeTV device. Personally, I don’t understand SanDisk’s market. Sure, they have the second largest chunk of the DAP market behind Apple’s 75%, but that’s only 11%, and so what if they make taking your TV shows with you easy. Ever heard of TiVoToGo or SlingBox?

Toshiba has announced their new Super Charge battery technology, dubbed SCiB for Super Charge Ion Battery, which they say can recover 90% of its capacity in 5 minutes. Wow! The problem is that its currently only for industrial use, but Toshiba says that they are eyeing the electrical car and portable computer markets.
