'Everything iDon't' campaign takes big swing at iPhone |

 NEW YORK - An aggressive TV ad campaign from Verizon Wireless is adding to the support building for a software package from Google that is shaping up to be the most formidable challenge yet to Apple's iPhone.
The commercials for the "Droid" phone, being made by Motorola, list features that the iPhone lacks, such as a physical keyboard and the ability to run applications simultaneously. It ends with the tag line "Everything iDon't. Droid does."
It's not the first ad from a wireless carrier to take aim at the iPhone's weaknesses. Notably, Sprint Nextel's ads for the Samsung Instinct and the Palm Pre have compared these devices to the iPhone.

Twilight tunes: Under a New Moon, a playlist to drink blood by |

 The imminent arrival of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the second film in the popular vampire-werewolf series, has pretty much sent the Internet into a tailspin.
The film isn’t due in theatres for another month, but the mere mention of the motion picture soundtrack back in August sent fans tweeting to such a degree that it almost bordered on inappropriate. Not surprisingly, the soundtrack was leaked online early last week, pushing the U.S. retail release date to Oct. 16 from Oct. 20, in order to meet rapturous demand. (The soundtrack is being released today in Canada.)
This much is certain: By the time the film hits theatres, fickle fans will be sick of the soundtrack.
With that in mind, we have created a new mix for New Moon, one that compiles some of the best werewolf- and vampire-themed songs in history.

Parents in Balloon Case to Surrender |

 DENVER — The Colorado parents accused of concocting a publicity stunt by pretending that their young son had climbed aboard a homemade helium balloon and was hurtling through the skies above Fort Collins, Colo., will voluntarily surrender to authorities as soon as charges are filed, which is expected to happen on Wednesday, the lawyer for the father said Monday morning.
David Lane, a Colorado civil rights lawyer who is representing Richard Heene, said both Mr. Heene and his wife, Mayumi, would plead not guilty and would turn themselves in to avoid further public spectacle.
Mr. Lane contended that placing handcuffs on the Heenes, in the full glare of the news media and for their children to see, would be abusive to the youngsters. The case became a nationally televised spectacle last Thursday, when the Heenes frantically reported that their 6-year-old son, Falcon, had climbed into the silver flying saucer his father had built in the backyard and drifted into the sky.
