There’s a funny trend going on with camcorders where key features are stripped to encourage you to buy the more expensive models. I’ll get straight to the point - I wanted a hard drive camcorder that had manual and auto light exposure modes, and most importantly a line-in audio microphone input jack that comes in around $500. Sounds easy…

Thanks Lisa, for pointing out:

Toshiba announced their gigashot A and K video camcorders. The gigashot A100F features a 1.8-inch shock-resistant 100GB disk with 1/3-inch CMOS sensor. It features full HD video (1,920 x 1,080 or 1080i) recordings at 60fps with 16bit/48kHz Dolby digital stereo audio.
It uses high-quality MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video and will give you about 12 hours of video recording at the highest quality setting and around 23 hours in standard mode. You can also take 2 megapixel still photos.
Both the gigashot A and K series feature SDHC expansion, 3-inch LCD, 10x optical zoom, HDMI mini and component out, and USB for PC connectivity.

Toshiba brags that its 78.1 x 135.4 x 79.0-mm measurements make it the world’s smallest "Full HD" camcorder with a built-in hard disk drive. The lower-end gigashot K series does slightly lower video resolution - 1280×720 or 720p video and 0.92 megapixel photos in its slightly smaller 80GB or much […]

Test-driving Apple’s stripped-down $99 iPod
Walter S. Mossberg
Wall Street Journal
Jan. 12, 2005 11:15 AM
At last week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, numerous companies were showing off gadgets aimed at dethroning the most successful electronics product of the past couple of years: Apple Computer’s iPod portable digital music player. Many hoped to challenge Apple by offering smaller, lighter and less costly players than the company’s lowest priced and littlest iPod model, the $249 iPod Mini.
But Tuesday, at the annual MacWorld exposition in San Francisco, Apple rolled out a new addition to the iPod line that will make that task much harder. It’s a tiny $99 music player called the iPod Shuffle that Apple hopes will tempt millions of lower-budget music fans to join the iPod legions when it hits store shelves later this month.
The new iPod model, which looks like a white pack of chewing gum, holds just a fraction of […]

CRN | Breaking News | New Santy Variants Spread Beyond Google
“By Matt Villano, CRN
7:22 PM EST Tue. Dec. 28, 2004
The Santy worm, which appeared just before the Christmas holiday and uses search engines to spread, appears to be morphing into dangerous variants, virus experts warned Tuesday.
Much like the original, the Santy variations target Web bulletin boards designed with the open-source PHP scripting language. But a few of the mutated forms, such as Santy.E and Santy.C (also known as PhpInclude.Worm) focus on different parts of the PHP code by using multiple programming flaws to gain entry.
While incidents of the Santy worm have decreased dramatically since Google started blocking it, the new versions now use search engines such as AOL and Yahoo! to enable remote attackers to inject malicious code into PHP scripts.”
