Homotron Week In Review: Week Ending 02/02/2008

So, how about them Giants? Grats to all the New Yorkers out there who were cheering for your team!

We're shlepping back to work to bring you all the gadget goodness you've come to expect from us, so welcome back for another week!

On to the linkage:

• LEGO turns 50 years old, and to commemorate the event Boing Boing brings us a time lapse assembly video for the massive Ultimate Collector's Edition Millenium Falcon. That's a lot of pieces!
• The MacBook Air is laid bare for all to see. Naughty!
• Jesse James brings us the lies, broken promises and disappointments surrounding the promising Qtrax.
• Welcome to another week of suffering for HD-DVD: sales are down, and retailers are offering to take your HD-DVD players and turn them Blu.
• Ciao! Italy makes it legal to share music online! (by accident - oops!)
• The corporate money is flyin' all over the place! Amazon says all your audio books are belong to them, and Microsoft wants some Yahoo in their stable.
• The tubes! They are broken!
• Japan has a (screen) size complex.
• Our weekly shot of crazy comes from none other than U2 manager Paul McGuinness. Just step into this nice white jacket sir; it's even got leather accents!
• Show your love to all the world in a geeky way with these LED heart shirts.
• Our gadget of the week was the Seagate D.A.V.E. - carry a whole server in your pocket!
