LG LH-C643 home theater system
Juniper Foo | Mar 18, 2005
This is one home theater system your guests are never gonna stop talking about. LG's LH-C643, the stuff of water cooler gossip, simply calls out to the Mercedes-owning uncles and aunties with its 24-carat gold-plated exterior, which LG claims is the world's first luxury home theater setup. Thanks, but we'll pass on this one.

Juniper Foo | Mar 09, 2005
That pesky cat's at it again. Sanrio's annoyingly cute kitty has enveloped the Xbox in its feline embrace (Bill, you knew it was just a matter of time, didn't ja?), and painted the console a girly pink. We don't know about you gamers out there, but this game console will never be quite the same again.

Samsung 82-inch LCD HDTV
Juniper Foo | Mar 08, 2005
McDonald's isn't the only one playing the "supersize" game. Samsung recently launched the world's biggest 102-inch plasma screen at CES. Now the Korean mega-conglomerate has unveiled the mother of all LCD TVs--an 82-inch TFT set with full HDTV support. No doubt you'll be the envy of your neighbors, after tossing out the kids and aged parents to make way for that monster screen in your tiny HDB hovel. But really, who wants Britney Spears' gyrating navel or J. Lo's butt that up close and personal? That said, our lucky sod of a colleague Melvin gets to eyeball that badass TV over at CeBIT, Hannover, this weekend.
