by Donald Melanson, Not satisfied with a gaming laptop that can be maxed out with a top-end Core 2 Extreme Quad processor and dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M graphics? Then how about a red gaming laptop that can be maxed out with a top-end Core 2 Extreme Quad processor and dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M graphics? That, as you might have deduced, is the latest option available on the “all powerful” Alienware M17x laptop, which takes the red accents already found on the laptop and runs with ‘em (check the gallery below for a closer look). Of course, “special editions” rarely come free, and this new Nebula Red color option is no exception, with it setting you back an extra $99 on top of the laptop’s $1,799 base price. engadget

by Ross Miller, We certainly didn’t mind that the Tony Hawk Ride board we played at E3 had a charcoal coloring, and that goes double for our feet. Apparently that sentiment isn’t shared by the game’s director Josh Tsui, who told GamesIndustry.biz that it’ll be launched in a “more consumer friendly… [and] iPod-like” white color, which in our minds all but guarantees someone out there’s gonna mistake this for a new version of the Wii balance board. Tsui’s not shy with praise either, calling the board “the most advanced peripheral on the market.” Ultimately, the color isn’t gonna matter to us, and with a board-compatible sequel rumored to already be in the works, there’s plenty of time to re-release the peripheral in all sorts of attractive palettes — that’d of course be very iPod-like.

Chelsea (Drogba 21, Lampard 72)   2-1   Everton (Saha 1)

The Final

Wembley Stadium
Winning club will receive £2,000,000 from The FA and the runner-up will receive £1,000,000

Guus Hiddink left Chelsea with the perfect leaving present at Wembley, as he led them to their second FA Cup success in three years courtesy of a hard fought victory over Everton.

Not only did the Londoners have to show their quality, but they also needed character after falling behind to the quickest ever goal in an FA Cup Final when Louis Saha struck the Toffees ahead after just 25 seconds.

With Everton’s supporters almost acting like a twelfth man with their incredible vocal support throughout too, it looked as though Chelsea would need to use all of their experience if they were to find a way back and repeat their Cup success of 2007.

They found the inspiration to do so, edging it with Frank Lampard’s stunning second-half strike after Didier Drogba had cancelled out Everton’s goal in the embryonic stages of the game.
