			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the 2010 Games Developer Conference Sony finally announced the name of its long awaited motion controller, the PlayStation Move. Although it will not ship till this Fall, it promises to change the marketplace for motion gaming. Sony is looking to move into the market created by the Nintendo Wii, but suggests it will compete on the precision its new controller offers. Staying economical, starter packages including a game will be under $100.</p>
<p>At first glance, the PlayStation Move appears as a colorful microphone, but it will offer precision control of your ingame sword, shield, gun, bat, or whatever else Sony or its partners may imagine. It will work in conjunction with a subcontroller and the PlayStation Eye. One title already promising support for the PlayStation Move is SOCOM 4, Zipper Interactive&#8217;s latest first person shooter. A motion controller would not even be considered for this type of game without providing almost pin-point accuracy.</p>
<p>Sony is trying to get a head start on Microsoft, which will be releasing its motion controller later this year as well, named Project Natal for the moment. Both of these will be the evolution of the popular motion gaming industry, hoping to draw in both experienced gamers as well as the new comers.<img src="http://www.techjackal.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/playstation-move-motion-controller-announced-300x198.jpg" alt="playstation-move-motion-controller-announced" title="playstation-move-motion-controller-announced" width="300" height="198" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1045" /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here she comes, Miss Tiger Wood&#8217;s Mistress, that is what the band would&#8217;ve been playing, if they had a band today when Jamie Jungers beat out a group of Tiger&#8217;s mistresses on the &#8220;Howard Stern Show.&#8221;</p>
<p>The show, which airs each morning on Sirius-XM invited any or all of Tiger Wood&#8217;s mistresses to appear in front of a panel of judges led by Howard Stern and Robin Quivers.</p>
<p>Jungers, Loredana Jolie, and Jamie Grubbs competed for the $75,000 first place prize. The contestants competed in an interview portion and a bikini portion to crown the winner. Most of the panel thought Jungers looked the best in the bikini, even though Jolie is a former Hawaiian Tropic Bikini Model.</p>
<p>In the interview portion, Jungers told Stern and the judges panel that when she met Woods at the night club Light in Las Vegas, she had expected nothing more than a one-night stand. Jungers also mentioned that throughout their relationship, Woods never used contraception. She offered that Woods referred to her as his &#8220;little coffee cup&#8221; and &#8220;Jamie Juices.&#8221;</p>
<p>All three girls sai they felt &#8220;used&#8221; by Woods, and would like to get some sort of apology. Grubbs was awared second place and Jolie finished in third. <img src="http://www.techjackal.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/jamie-jungers-wins-howard-stern-pageant-300x222.jpg" alt="jamie-jungers-wins-howard-stern-pageant" title="jamie-jungers-wins-howard-stern-pageant" width="300" height="222" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1042" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yet another child star that grew up to become addicted to drugs has lost his life after battling his addictions for more than two decades. Corey Haim was the boy every girl loved in the 80s who quickly faded out of the Hollywood scene as he grew into an adult.</p>
<p>The 38 year old actor passed away around 3:40 this morning. He was at his mother’s home when she found him listless and lethargic. Emergency personnel arrived at the scene to discover Haim was in an extremely weakened state and barely clinging to life. He was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.</p>
<p>An accidental prescription drug overdose is believed to have caused his untimely death. A full autopsy will be done to discover the actual cause of death but illegal drugs are not suspected at this time. Four prescription medicine bottles were found at the residence.</p>
<p>The actor has been in and out of rehab more than 15 times for his drug addictions. Valium and cocaine were his drugs of choice and both have long term effects that most likely attributed to his early death. Haim freely admitted to his drug problems and recognized the fact that his drug addiction ultimately cost him his film career.<img src="http://www.techjackal.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/drug-addict-corey-haim-dies-300x278.jpg" alt="drug-addict-corey-haim-dies" title="drug-addict-corey-haim-dies" width="300" height="278" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1039" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new development from KDDI Corporation is set to put an end to slacking off.  KDDI, who is one of the biggest mobile phone producers in Japan, has developed a new cell phone spy software which can be installed into any phone and be used to track what an individual is doing. </p>
<p>The software, which has been named Spyware, works quite simply and allows a user to track a person’s activity using a cellular technology called accelerometers.  The software has been said to already draw the attention of many companies who are hoping to be able to track whether an employee is being productive while they are at work. </p>
<p>The program works by installing a program into a mobile phone.  The software then tracks the movements of the mobile phone user.  The program then will track movements which will allow an employer to determine what an employee is doing.  Admittedly, the software takes time to get used to an individual before the employee’s movements can be properly analyzed. </p>
<p>While the program is sure to be helpful, it has drawn criticism due to privacy issues.  Many people feel that if a company requires installation of the device, they will be infringing on an employees rights of privacy. <img src="http://www.techjackal.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cell-phone-spyware1-300x168.jpg" alt="cell-phone-spyware1" title="cell-phone-spyware1" width="300" height="168" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1033" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Canadian and US officials have issued a widespread food recall after an inspection at a Basic Food Flavors Inc. plant in Las Vegas, revealed trace amounts of salmonella. The salmonella was discovered in the food additive hydrolyzed vegetable protein.</p>
<p>Salmonella can be potentially fatal to young children, the elderly and those who have weakened immune systems. The illness mimics an intestinal virus but can quickly turn into a serious illness.</p>
<p>HVP is used to flavor more than a thousand different foods. Most commonly found in potato chips, soups, hot dogs, and other ready-to-eat food products. The FDA in the US has named 101 products while officials in Canada have named 26 products thus far.</p>
<p>The recalled foods include the popular Pringles potato chip brand. Thus far, only two of their many flavors have been recalled, Taco Night and Cheeseburger. Pringles executives claim these two flavors make up less than one percent of their total potato chip sales.</p>
<p>The products included in the recall, date all the way back to September, 2009. Consumers who have any of these products in their cupboards should immediately throw them away. Some companies may offer coupons or refunds.</p>
<p>This recall is just beginning and will most likely continue to grow. <img src="http://www.techjackal.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/salmonella-recall-pringles-216x300.jpg" alt="salmonella-recall-pringles" title="salmonella-recall-pringles" width="216" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1029" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent study conducted by researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston shows that drinking alcohol on a regular basis may offer other health benefits in addition to those already known. The results of the study, which were published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, found that women who consumed a moderate amount of alcoholic beverages on a daily basis were less likely to become overweight during the twelve years they were observed. The women monitored during the course of the study were of normal weight, and the alcoholic beverages that were consumed included wine, beer, and liquor. Although moderate drinking can help to control a person’s weight, it is not suggested that one take up drinking just for this reason.</p>
<p>The published study included a group of more than 19,000 women who were of normal weight and who were 39 years of age or older. In an initial questionnaire, the participants were asked about their drinking habits. Almost half of the women surveyed reported that they did not drink at all, while the remaining women all drank at least two drinks per week. Six percent of the women reported that they consumed two alcoholic beverages per day. After many years of follow up observation, the women who drank no alcohol gained the most weight of the group, while the women who drank two drinks per day gained the least amount of weight. <img src="http://www.techjackal.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/drinking-wine-women-weight-control.jpg" alt="drinking-wine-women-weight-control" title="drinking-wine-women-weight-control" width="285" height="214" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1026" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The SEC Tournament bracket has been released, with the No.2 ranked Kentucky Wildcats gaining the no. 1 seed in the East division, while the Mississippi State Bulldogs hold down the no. 1 seed in the West division. As a stepping stone to the NCAA tournament, it has been proven over the years that no matter what a team&#8217;s seed may be in the SEC Tournament, it will be not be an easy road to an automatic bid to the NCAA&#8217;s.</p>
<p>The first round of the SEC tournament begins Thursday, March 11, when the East&#8217;s 5th seeded South Carolina squad plays the 4th seed in the West, Alabama, at 1pm. The winner will face Kentucky the following day at 1pm.</p>
<p>The no. 6 seed in the West, LSU, faces off against Tennessee, the 3 seed in the East, at 3pm Thursday for the right to play Ole Miss, the no. 2 seed in the West, on Friday at 3:15pm.</p>
<p>Thursday night at 7:30, the no. 5 seed in the West, Auburn, will play the no. 4 seed in the East, Florida, with the winner taking on Mississippi State on Friday night at 7:30.</p>
<p>Rounding out the Thursday games at 9:45pm will be the East&#8217;s no. 6 seed Georgia playing against the no. 3 seed in the West, Arkansas, for the right to take on Vanderbilt, who holds the no. 2 seed in the East, at 9:45pm Friday. <img src="http://www.techjackal.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/kentucky-wildcats-sec-tournament-bracket-2010-294x300.jpg" alt="kentucky-wildcats-sec-tournament-bracket-2010" title="kentucky-wildcats-sec-tournament-bracket-2010" width="294" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1021" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the release of the new Apple iPad on the horizon, Apple aired its first commercials during the 2010 Oscars on March 7. The commercials featured Apple’s tablet PC and the defining applications that are the selling points of the new device. This included the new iBook application, which allows the individual to use the iPad as an e-reader and download e-books directly to the device. Also featured was a pair of hands in the commercial using the iPad as a media player, scheduler and e-mail device. Much like the iPod Touch and iPhone that came before it, the possibilities of the iPad seem to be stretched even further.</p>
<p>The commercial also gave a brief look into the interface of the iPad. With a full QWERTY keyboard available as well as the the slide bar seen in both the iPod Touch and iPhone, the interface of the iPad resembles these devices in many ways.</p>
<p>With the release of the iPad being set for April 3, as stated in the commercial, it appears that the even more measures are being taken to ensure that the iPad shares the same success that the iPhone and iPod Touch had before it. With sources hinting at the possibility of having 150,000 applications designed specifically for the iPad, there seems to be plenty of preparation going into the release. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Titanic has forever set the standard for large ships. In December 2009, the Royal Caribbean ship, Oasis of the Seas, set sail from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a cruise ship that&#8217;s almost five times as big as the Titanic was. It&#8217;s almost as long as four football fields, measuring in at 225,282 gross tons. It&#8217;s approximate weight being over 100,000 tons. It has capacity for 5400 passengers, that&#8217;s estimated by figuring that each room has a total occupancy of two passengers. Due to the sheer size of the boat it requires a staff of over 2100 people.</p>
<p>Oasis of the Seas has sixteen passenger decks. There are numerous places to go explore and activities to take part in aboard the boat. Feel as though you&#8217;re flying through the air on the zip line, go for a dip in one of the four swimming pools, and there&#8217;s even multiple nurseries in case you want to have some time without your children. There&#8217;s a casino, a theme park, night clubs, bars, lounges, a karaoke club, comedy club, and over 24 restaurants. That&#8217;s only a small peek inside what is offered on the cruise.</p>
<p>Oasis of the Seas is currently the largest cruise ship in existence. <img src="http://www.techjackal.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cruise-ship-the-oasis-of-the-seas-300x190.jpg" alt="cruise-ship-the-oasis-of-the-seas" title="cruise-ship-the-oasis-of-the-seas" width="300" height="190" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1015" /></p>
