What’s hot in high tech?
Times and Transcript, Canada
The showcase features the latest innovations in digital cameras, video cameras, security systems, sound systems, mixing boards and other technology. The booths at the trade show are staffed by sales representatives from such companies as Canon, JVC, Sharp and many others showing samples of their products. “All this technology has grown by leaps and bounds over the years,” said John Devries of Mississauga, a sales manager for Roland Systems Group of Canada, which deals in a variety of audio-visual components. Yesterday, Devries was showing off a computer-controlled audio-visual mixing board system with touch screens and hand controls. Basically, the system takes audio and video feeds from the computer and cameras to allow the operator to choose and blend elements that can be shown on the Internet or a big screen. The system is designed for use by businesses, churches, theatres and hockey arenas. Having the system set up for a hockey game would allow the operator to blend music, stock footage and live action to a big viewing screen.

It’s two movies and one big story! It’s like Darth Vader and the return of Darth and the Death Star but instead it’s Cooler, and Luke is played by Goku! DBZ style that is! Both movies are 45 minutes each. The first starts with a flashback to when Goku’s dad rose up against Frieza and sent his son Goku to Earth. Fast forward x amount of years and grown Goku has to deal with the past when Frieza’s big bro Cooler lands on Earth for some major payback. Seems he’s not keen on a puny Saiyan having killed his little brother Frieza the tyrant! It’s funky because Cooler is one cold villain, it’s not that he was so happy with his brother, he’s here on a mission to restore the family honor which means he won’t be satisfied until he has Goku’s broken and dead body strapped to the haul of his spaceship!He didn’t come alone. He’s got his own mini-army of minions to do his violent bidding. They ambush the Z-team on a camping trip. They get the heck kicked out of them.
