    Meet the Plantronics Discovery 975, a merging of style, design and tech. This is their vision of the future of bluetooth… at least at the moment.

    The NC Take: Sharp, with a few nice upgrades like the new WindSmart tech that keeps the background noise at bay. The only real issue we have is this headset is still steep in price ($130), however the very nice style helps to offset this. One would think that Bluetooth would come down in price by now, however this is still solid in the price brackets of others in it’s class, so keeping this in mind and keeping in mind the function and design is nicer then most others, this is still Very Cool.

    It would seem that in an era of remakes and re-imaginings we may be getting a truly unique film. 9 hits the Silver Screen Sept 9th. And produced by Tim Burton, it seems to us this could be a great movie.

    Free AK-47Max Motors of Butler, Missouri is offering a $450 voucher for an AK-47 with the purchase of any new truck. The promotion was supposed to go on till the end of August, but after checking their website this morning, it seems they’ve cut it short for inventory reasons. This isn’t the first time Max Motors has ran this type of promotion, in hopes that it won’t be the last, we thought the story was still worth mention.

    The NC Take: Replacing that beat up clunker might be Necessary, but turret mounting your free assault rifle to the top of your new ride? Yes, that’s Cool.

    Everything you love about Leopard, but faster, more secure, more refined and just plain better.

    The NC Take: $29 bucks for a upgrade this good? Necessary.

    #1logoWe’ve had our eyes on Chrome for awhile and they have some good things going on over there. Good clean styling with that edge that’ll make you look good on the street.

    The NC Take: Priced in the same range as Puma and others, the great thing about Chrome is not everyone else will have the same shoe. Good fit and comfort, great treads that won’t make you fall on your butt in the weather. Very Cool.

    This November it looks like things are going to get even tougher for Tony Stark The Iron Man. I saw this over at Marvel and was waiting for more info before I brought it here, however I’ve been talking about with the gang over at ComicVine and thought, you know what, I’m going to go ahead and share.  I’m a big Iron Man fan and love Matt Fractions work on the book, I myself am really looking forward to this.

    You guys have any thoughts? Any theories?
