Philippines: In response to strong opposition from conservative groups such as the Catholic church and prosecution of distributors Playboy magazine plans launch a local edition which will not feature any nudity.

The Playboy edition will be launched as a “mature lifestyle magazine” and will include articles, fiction, and images of beautiful women with clothes on. Playmate of the month will be retained.

This new edition will be the 25th version of Playboy released in its 50 year history. According to journalist Beting Laygo Dolor it will be “tamer” than the US version but more risque than the Indonesian edition.

An Australian researcher from the University of Melbourne’s Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering has come up with an idea to make broadband up to 100 times faster without multi-billion dollar investments in cabling infrastructure.

Dr John Papandriopoulos said his technique can dramatically reduce the interference which slows down data transmission in typical DSL networks and use less power in the process. Read more »

Gigantic TVs designed to go in your living room aren’t the only HDTVs out there, and not everyone wants a 60-inch television. People put TVs in their bedrooms and kitchens as well as their living rooms, and those people might still want to enjoy HDTV without going nuts on a behemoth. Well, Sharp is here for you.

Its releasing a 22-inch 1080p HDTV, the smallest full-HD set yet. It also has siblings that come in at 26-inches and 32-inches, in case you want something a little bigger. Unfortunately, with prices that will run $1,540, $1,700, and $2,050, respectively, you’d might as well take your money and go ahead and put a big screen in your bedroom, ’cause it’ll cost you about the same.

At the Flat Panel Display (FPD) International show this week, Samsung is announcing a host of new LCD displays.

The most important announcement, in my eyes, is 40″ HD LCD TV that’s just 10mm thick. While the exact model number is unknown, Samsung claims the LED backlit TV will be able to reproduce 92 percent of the NTSC standard for color saturation, and will consume under 90 watts of power. I figure hanging one of these things up on the wall would look more like a window than a TV. There’s no word on pricing yet, or when it will be available in the United States, but the sheer thinness of it really has me drooling.

While we’re all still waiting for the day when OLED TVs reach 40 inches and more affordable prices, Samsung will also be demonstrating a 14.1 active-matrix OLED screen. Sadly, there isn’t additional information about whether it’s just a prototype panel or a full blown television, like the Sony XEL-1.

Watching high-definition television does not always require a special converter box or hefty monthly fees from the cable company.

The new PCTV HD Ultimate Stick from Pinnacle Systems may look like an oversize U.S.B. drive, but it’s actually a receiver that lets you snag free over-the-air HDTV signals and display HD programs on your Windows computer — without having to install special software.

Pinnacle’s TV Center Pro software for watching and recording television programs comes on the device itself. Its flash memory can hold up to two hours of TV programs recorded in standard definition — making it easy to record a program to the PCTV stick on one computer and play back the show when it is plugged into another PC.

The PCTV HD Ultimate Stick, which sells for $130, includes a telescoping antenna for broadcast television. It can also accept input from coaxial, S-video and composite video sources; full technical details are at www.pinnaclesys.com. The gadget can also capture standard-definition video from camcorders, so when there’s absolutely nothing on TV, you can watch your own productions.

Australia: A man in his seventies has died after being struck by an express train after his dog reportedly panicked and pulled him onto the tracks. The dog is alive and in the custody of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Ambulance officers attended the accident but could not revive the man. Ray Rowe, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Ambulance Service, said they had no indications that it was a suicide.

“It is believed the man and his dog were waiting at the pedestrian crossing on Mitcham Rd when the dog became spooked by the passing train,” said Allison Noonan, a police spokesperson. Read more »

On the back of disappointing box-box office figures for ‘The Brave One’, starring Jodie Foster, and ‘The Invasion’, starring Nicole Kidman, Warner Brothers Pictures has reportedly decided not to make any more movies with female leads.

The story was broken by the LA Weekly newspaper which quoted three different Warner Bros. producers. The move has outraged women’s rights activists with attorney Gloria Allred calling it an insult to women and an insult to moviegoers.

“Instead of taking responsibility for their own lack of judgment about which scripts to make, directors to hire and budgets to OK, some men in the movie industry find it easier to place blame for their lack of success on women leads…” said Allred. Read more »

China has confirmed a sighting of an endangered species of tiger that hasn’t been spotted in 20 years. The International Natural Conservation Alliance listed the South China Tiger, or Penthern tiger, in 1996 among 10 highly endangered species.

Farmers who live in Northwest China’s Qinling Mountains, located in Shaanxi Province, spawned an investigation after some tigers by their village were spotted. China is the only habitat for the animal, where only 68 remain in zoos there.

A plethora of evidence was gathered on October 3rd, according to deputy director of Shaanxi Wild Animal Management Station Lu Xirong. It included photos, paw and teeth marks, paw prints left on the trunks of trees, and hair and feces. Read more »

Police have arrested a Japanese man who ran a suicide website on the Internet for killing a woman who paid him to do it. She contacted him through the website, and paid him $1,700 (U.S) to kill her. She was given sleeping pills and suffocated.

Her body was found April 16 in a city south of Tokyo. Police found a suicide note, but her car keys and cell phone came up missing. The man, Kanuzari Saito, has been charged with violating narcotic and psychotropic drug control laws.

Saito was arrested in July for selling sleeping pills to 10 people through his website. One has died and police are investigating. Japan has the highest suicide rate in the industrialized world, topping over 30,000 in 2006. Read more »
