MICHAEL Jackson protected his children from the press, but the three youngsters appeared on a world stage Tuesday to honor their father at his public memorial service.

Daughter Paris-Michael addressed the crowd, making an emotional statement to an audience of thousands at the Staples Center and millions more around the globe who watched the service on TV.

"Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine," the 11-year-old said, sobbing. "And I just wanted to say I love him so much."

It was a rare public moment for Paris-Michael and her brothers, 12-year-old Michael Joseph Jr., known as Prince Michael, and 7-year-old Prince Michael II, known as Blanket.

Jackson famously shielded his children from the media, covering their faces with veils or masks. But all three children appeared on stage as the memorial service came to a close.

The two boys each wore the same dark suit and yellow tie as the rest of the men in the Jackson family. Prince chewed gum and toted the memorial service program on stage. Blanket held his program and clutched a Michael Jackson doll. Paris-Michael wore a black dress with white trim and carried a small patent-leather purse.

The children comforted one another on stage as members of the arena crowd did the same in their seats.

Toshiba Satellite M35
series Laptop Battery



Toshiba Satellite M35 series - PA3331U-1BRS Laptop Battery - Replacement Toshiba Satellite M35 series - PA3331U-1BRS Notebook Battery

I recently took a call from a customer who was having some trouble with his computer. Turns out his Toshiba Satellite M35 series - PA3331U-1BRS was shutting off when on battery power, and the solution was a new battery.

How do you figure out that you need a new laptop battery?

1. Instead of lasting hours, your Toshiba battery lasts only a few minutes (or even seconds).

2. The battery is not recognized as being connected, or refuses to hold any charge what so ever: If you can’t operate without your AC adapter, getting a replacement battery should be your top priority.

3. Your notepad isn’t even a year old but battery life has become extremely limited. If this is the case you may want to try to contact tech support for Toshiba. Remember that most warrantees have very limited coverage for battery life , but you might fall within the coverage . While talking to Technical Support, ask about the cost of replacing the battery. But don’t buy it yet.

If your Toshiba Satellite M35 series - PA3331U-1BRS battery has these symptoms, and you don’t want to get a new laptop yet, finding a replacement is easy (I love recommending eBatts, It’s great). eBatts has replacement Toshiba Satellite M35 series - PA3331U-1BRS laptop batteries in stock (or they did when I checked last) and can ship one to you quickly. Priced at only $94.46 (regular price $131.99), they are a more affordable option than Toshiba, and is more reliable than Craigslist.

The bottom line: When it is time for a replacement notebook battery, go get one. For only $94.46 you can get a replacement Toshiba Satellite M35 series - PA3331U-1BRS notebook battery at eBatts.

Watch Phone

Phones with the wow factor:
LG GD910 Watch Phone



By Sherwin Loh

Wow factor: Wear it on your wrist

THIS one is aimed at the geeks, but most other consumers would find this touch watch phone cool too.

The likes of Dick Tracy and James Bond have had such fangled gizmos in movies and comics but this LG device is quite the real thing.

With three buttons on the side - Answer, Reject and Back, the touchscreen device allows for simple navigation across its coloured menu. When a call comes through, the phone either rings or vibrates.

Alas, LG declined to allow a test of the voice capabilities, citing that the device was still in testing phase But it did show off the camera's cunning.

When worn on the wrist, users need to hold it away from the body, to align the camera to match the face for video calls. This way, users can see their face onscreen, as well as see the caller in a video call.

The video image was relatively clear, without any dark shadows, and there was no lag in the image as I moved my face or my wrist.

The LG representative said that taking calls in a quiet place is not a problem: Just speak at your normal decibel, and the audio will be picked up by the phone's receivers.

In crowded rooms and during calls where you need privacy, a connected Bluetooth receiver will be necessary.

Texting is also a bummer: The screen allows for only one line of text to be displayed.

Replying to messages could also be clumsy - users will probably have to deal with one finger tapping on the screen while scrolling all the way to read what they composed.

Reading messages received would be easier though - the text scrolls horizontally across the watch face.

Clearly targeted at the business consumer, who wants style sass with the latest smarts, LG should time its release with the year-end holiday gift-giving period.
