| Daytona 500: Hendrick vs. Gibbs
Joe Gibbs Racing has a two-time champion and two of the series' rising stars. How big is this Daytona 500 showdown? "It's going to be the epic battle, and it should be the battle of a lifetime and the century," Gibbs driver Tony Stewart quipped. "There may not be another battle of this proportion for the rest of my life, my career, for the century." OK, so Stewart was exaggerating. Still, when Hendrick driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Gibbs driver Denny Hamlin each won a qualifying race Thursday, it set the stage for a heck of a show Sunday. Oh by the way, Hendrick's overshadowed driver, Casey Mears, is starting ninth. That means six of the top nine spots will be filled by drivers from those two teams. Gibbs driver Kyle Busch will roll off from the 24th position.

Hip-Hop Rumors: The Game's New Mixtape, Kanye Loves Kanye, Tank Gets ...
You remember back in the day, I heard that The Game and his brother Big Fase 100 are back on good terms again. I hope it to be true. Brothers don't need to fight – they are all they got! Anyway, I didn't confirm/deny the rumor, but I heard something that supports it. I heard that The Game and his brother are working out a new mixtape venture that bigs up the West Coast. So, I know Game is in jail right now, but maybe the vocals were dropped before and then Fase will get it mixed and mastered?
What happened to all the happy (Young MC)/weird (Pharcyde)/ and conscious (Def Jef) rappers from the West Coast! Send me some artists that don't use a gun to get their point across! ahhrumors@gmail.com.

Ion Audio Tape 2 PC USB Cassette Archiver review
The digital media revolution has impacted heavily on the music industry, and not only with the profit losses that come courtesy of illegal file sharers. Indeed, in its digital format, music has become truly portable, easily editable – and rather difficult to tangle. But however hastily we'd consign our old Jason Donovan audio cassettes to a life gathering dust at the back of a drawer, there are some tracks that we'd hate to lose in the digital takeover. It is still possible to buy cassette decks, of course, although you're likely to pay much the same price as you would for Ion Audio's Tape 2 PC. And while we've covered digitising vinyl and audio cassettes using your existing equipment before in PC Advisor, it's never been quite so easy to turn cassette to MP3 and add it to your library.
High-tech tinkerers on the rise
For years, hackers and garage hobbyists have pried the covers off their gadgets, cobbled together computers out of components, or built other electronics from scratch. But today, even people who can't tell a resistor from a capacitor are finding new opportunities to tinker as the do-it-yourself spirit of the Web branches into the physical world. Not long ago, people who wanted to set up a Web page, blog, or upload video needed to know a little about programming; today, just about anyone can be up and running in an hour. Now, start-up companies and electronics kit makers are trying to bring the same kind of easy tinkering to the physical world amid calls for more openness. Last summer, when the Apple iPhone was unlocked so that it would work on networks other than AT&T's, a spotlight shined on the hacker who did it.
Outrage as Sudan charges teddy row teacher, Gillian Gibbons
Knowing what we do about the circumstances, how exactly would you begin your prosecution of her for "insulting Islam and inciting hatred?" Among whom did she incite this hatred? Her students? In what possible way would you establish her intention to "insult Islam?" Is there some precedent regarding the naming of teddy bears? .
