LG KF600
While no one has come close to matching the touch screen of the Apple iPhone, the LG KF600 is definitely headed in the right direction. The KF600 features a dual screen with the bottom half or “InteractPad” acting as the buttons, but what’s unique is that the dynamic interface adapts to the particular function that is being used. The phone has some really elegant themes interacting between the two screens, but the touchpad feels somewhat clunky and often unresponsive. Nor is the 3-megapixel camera the best you can get on a phone, but that said, the 4x digital zoom makes up for it. The photo viewer, meanwhile, is very impressive: using the touch screen you can zoom in on areas of a photo using a mini map-style interface. The KF600’s piece de resistance though is the music player, which is where the “InteractPad” really shines. As if by magic, the phone transforms into an MP3 music player with controls to skip tracks, pause and play music and even create your own playlists, while ...

The 20 Unhealthiest Drinks in America
Americans have a drinking problem, and not the type you might think. As the authors of the best-selling book Eat This, Not That!, David Zinczenko and co-author Matt Goulding get e-mails all the time from readers who claim they eat carefully, they work out consistently, but they still can get the needle on the scale to budge. What gives? goes the collective, exasperated refrain from the stagnant dieter. What most people don know is that the biggest roadblock between you and the body you want isn found at the end of a fork, but at the bottom of a glass. As a country we take in 21 percent of our daily calories from beverages and, according to the FDA, the average American takes in 82 grams of added sugars every day. Thats 20 teaspoons, which contribute an empty 317 calories to our already calorie-saturated diets. Sure, some of that comes from soda, but even if youve traded regular Coke for diet, whole milk coffee drinks for low-fat lattes, and you barely touch the booze, you could ...

A Debit Card Diatribe
Why you e better off ditching this piece of plastic By Carmen Wong Ulrich RELATED STORIES Avoid tax rebate troubles Are you addicted to your Blackberry? 5 easy ways to save big bucks Trade like an insider How middle-class millionaires spend Remember the vegetarian uproar years ago when word got out that McDonalds French fries were flavored with a beef derivative which they have since changed? Im far—far—from a vegetarian, but what rankled me about the big reveal was; heres another industrial behemoth being sneaky about their products. I don like sneaky—especially when it costs consumers hard-earned dollars. And debit cards are some of the sneakiest little devils in the banking biz. It all started about 10, 12 years ago when banks decided to automatically send consumers debit cards, instead of vanilla-but-still-amazing ATM cards, to get access to money in checking or savings accounts. We marveled at the innovation: How convenient! But like bits of beef derivative in your fries, ...

MECCANICO DG WATCH BY DE GRISOGONO
Introducing the worlds first mechanically powered digital watch A god among watches, this is possibly the most sophisticated design youll ever wear on your wrist. Born from the imagination of the owner of de Grisogono, Fazwa Gruosi, the Meccanico dG is the worlds first mechanically powered digital watch. Bearing both an analogue display at the top of the dial and digital one at the bottom, this device is solely mechanical. Clever, right? More than you think: beneath the analogue portion of the two-timezone watch is a numerical display driven by the intricate maze of 651 components. The numbers are then formed by the shifting motion of 23 cams and gears, all confined to a space no larger than the size of a matchbox. The design was released to coincide with the Geneva-based companys 15th birthday, and only 177 were ever produced in a colour selection of titanium, titanium and rubber, titanium and platinum, pink gold and red gold. Sizing up at 58mm by 48m, this isn a watch for those ...
