Enron trial is almost over, both sides rested their case. I think the closing arguments will be some time next week. I guess they very likely will get acquitted. It's a waste of government money. Let's see what's really going to happen.

Sony announced PS3 will start shipping around November. Meanwhile Microsoft announced it will ship HD DVD for its Xbox 360 game console. Nintendo says its Wii will ship in Q4. Now, all the game boys have something to cheer about.
