GSCREEN'S DUAL SCREEN SPACEBOOK
The Alaska based company, started by Gordon Stewart (yep, that is where the G in gScreen comes from), is aiming its dual screen laptops at professional designers, filmmakers, photographers and really anyone who can't live without a dual screen for everyday productivity. They have also been in talks with the military. The chassis (which we expect is at least 12 pounds) is built around the 15.4 inch screen (though the first units that come to market will have 16-inch or 17-inch screens) and its twin, identically sized screen slides out from behind the first using a uniquely designed sliding mechanism.
"We designed this knowing that many may not need the extra screen at all times," Gordon told me. But when you do use both screens you'll get about 30-inches of screen space. GScreen plans to release dual 13-inch models at some point.
Gordon plans to have the first Spacebooks being sold through Amazon.com by December of this year. Currently they are making tweaks to the power source (as you can see from one of the images) and to the screen slider.
They will run Windows 7 and be powered by Intel Core 2 Duo processors (we would love to see some mobile Core i7 love here), 4GB of RAM and high-end Nvidia GF900M GT discrete graphics. The plan is for fast 7,200 RPM hard drives and six or nine-cell batteries. It will also have a DVD player so you can watch a flick on one screen and refresh Giz on the other. "It is absolutely the opposite of a netbook," he told us. Yea that is no kidding with a price tag that he is hoping to keep under $3,000.
Now we are skeptical about them meeting their end of the year production date considering this model's power cord looks like more than a work in progress, but seeing as Santa is close by to gScreen's Alaska headquarters we don't see why he can't just drop off some dual screen craziness in time for Christmas.

ADRIENNE BAILON IN HONEY MAG
Here are some excerpts from the interview.
“I have a (Global Grind) blog. I’m Twitter-obsessed.” Simple things that other celebrities leave their publicist to handle.
“The most important thing to me right now is reaching out to my fans and letting them know what I’m up to.”
“It’s kind of like me starting all over again. I’m single. I had that whole Hollywood experience being in L.A. for five years doing Cheetah Girls. I didn’t want it to be like The Fabulous Life of Adrienne. Who can relate to that? I want it to be the real shit that’s me. Everything that I have been identified with has been stripped away from me.
“I don’t think it’s going to work unless it’s real. I rather it not be so produced because I think the music will only make sense if [my fans] know me.”
“Yo, when I got to Def Jam, I was like I’ma go hard,” she says, lightly pounding her small fist into her palm. “Everybody I hung out with was people from the label. It’s a family. People don’t get that it’s okay to be friends with guys. I’ll do anything for him.”
But to them, her tweets to and about Loso — supporting the release of Loso’s Way, Twitpics on Fab’s boat (with a host of other people) — are a bit suspect.
“Some people was like “Oh she’s riding his dick so hard’ and I was like ‘Yo, he is my friend!’ What am I am supposed to be? A bad friend and not help him out?”
Even when it’s not her tweets, Adrienne’s been linked to other artists in the game. When Trey Songz spit Twitter game, speculation grew again.
“I talk to [Trey] all the time. What am I going to do? Curse him out for telling me I’m beautiful? No, I’m going to be like ‘Thank you, babe.’ And now I’m having sex with every rapper,” she says sarcastically, shaking her head.
