Let the console craziness commence
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Lots of people lined up at area videogame stores last week to reserve PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii gaming rigs, so it seems the holiday gaming wars are officially under way.
So will it be a PlayStation for you, a Wii for the kids, or both?
Or will you be like Shadman Siddiqui of Alpharetta, who scored one PlayStation reservation and was fishing around for another one to sell. He figures the PlayStation will be a big seller this fall, primarily because of the technology that allows the console to be used as a Blu-ray video disc player.
“That, in itself, is worth it,� he said. “Try to get a Blu-ray player now, it’s $1,000.�

Sure, it can be tough to wear your heart on your sleeve. But how would you feel about wearing your ovaries on your wrist, ladies?
An Alpharetta company, Health Watch Systems, has gone to market with a gadget that it says can give women up to five days notice of their most fertile days. … Plenty of time to plan a nice romantic dinner with the hubby.
