Wired with the help of a
Los Angeles
based firm, BigChampagne have compiled a list of 2007's top files traded in the nerd underground known as P2P sharing. Shocking news! The file trading geeks love video games and semi-attractive females.
The most traded movie was none other than Resident Evil: Extinction, a movie based on a video game and stars Milla Jovovich. The P2P fellas might be jonesing for Jovovich but Tek likes his ladies a little less...scary.
The list of top swapped movies also included: I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and Stadust, two movies that won't be seeing any love come award show time. The P2P crowd isn't exactly Ebert and Roeper.
They aren't exactly music aficionados either.
In all of the times I've heard "Party like a Rockstar,"

Lindsay Lohan's ex-boyfriend Riley Giles is looking to further cash in on his 15 minutes of fame by selling LiLo's personal photos, which include this one.
This is proof that celebrities, just like those MySpace kids, haven't figured out a way of taking a picture of their own mug without stepping into the bathroom and clicking in front of the mirror.
LiLo could have just gone with the timer on her cam or could have used something called the Quik Pod, and expandable hand-held tripod.
With the Writer's Strike looking like it's not going to end any time soon, and that whole rehab thing out of the way, the Mean Girls' star has some time on her hands to do a little research on her next camera.
CNET recommends the Canon PowerShot SD 850 IS,
which includes "face detection." Yes, even an inanimate object can spot
Lohan's pretty face, that's what happens when Access Hollywood,
UsWeekly and PerezHilton report on your every single move.
As
for Mr. Giles, no word on whether or not the Canon will detect his
face, I know I wouldn't be able to do so. You can throw him into a lineup full of
Hollywood's famous for no reason whatsoevers, and I'd probably just walk away shaking my head thinking about what sunglasses I should wear in my next photo of myself.

The new SmartNav 3 makes the computer a hands-free activity. I know some and by some I mean millions of you have already mastered domains with one hand, now SmartNav is looking to help out by freeing up that other hand.
The SmartNav 3 is a new device that uses your head motion to move the mouse cursor. If you're good with your head like the former video vixen, Karrine Steffans , you might earn yourself a similar nickname and a book deal while you are at it.
Unlike Steffans work, I can post a link to video of some SmartNav action without having to include the letters NSFW next to it. Click here for some safe for work head action with the SmartNav 3.

The holiday season has your boy Tek Swank is in the giving mood. Our celebrity friends have pretty much everything, so finding the perfect gift for our famous friends isn't very easy. That's where I come in. All this week I am matching celebs with the gadget or gizmo that fits the guys and girls with all the fame, fortune and fun like Jennifer Love Hewitt and pair of size 2 jeans . Happy Holidays! Check back all week for more gift giving fun.
Who could use a time-shift better than Britney Spears? Seriously, what a 2007 our favorite piece of white trash had!
She lost her hair, lost her kids and lost her damn mind all in the matter of six months.
What better gift for Brit-Brit than a TiVoHD ? She could give her those videos, TV specials, and interviews from her prime "Keep Until I Delete" status while fast forwarding past pretty much anything and everything of 2007. And since TiVoHD is recording in High-Definition, she'll see her sanity being sucked out of her with a crystal clear image. If only she could rewind and do the year all over.
One can only hope that in 2008, Spears "Gives us More".

Today we're wrapping up a copy of Windows Vista and placing under the tree of Mr. Steve Carell. Today, PC World named the latest operating system from Microsoft as the "Biggest Tech Disappointment of 2007."
Like Bill Gates' creation, Carell's Evan Almighty fell short of public expectations. Actually "fell short of public expectations" is being too nice. Both Evan and Vista tanked.
Just like Vista: Evan Almighty had a big budget, years of build up and made many who spent their money on the new version find themselves clinging to the predecessors (Bruce and XP).
The Office star has shown that he can bounce back from Evan, the October release Dan in Real Life was a solid film. The guy who created Office however, is going to have to prove that he can come back from the let down on Vista.
Let's hope, he can Get Smart...um...I mean Smarter. He's Bill F'n Gates.

With the news that he's been called one of Hollywood's most overpaid by Forbes , I'm sure Russell Crowe is on the lookout for both the guy who compiled the list and a phone he can throw at them without losing his publicist's number. For Russell's sake, I hope the GSM Sonim XP1 is under his tree this year.
Who better to rock the "World's Toughest Phone" than the Gladiator himself? According to Sonim, the XP1 can withstand shock, water, wind, dust, dirt, and extreme temperatures. Can it withstand bouncing off a journalist's dome though? After surviving being run over by a car and bathing in beer, the phone (Thought I was talking about Crowe, didn't you?) can surely stand the test of being used as a weapon. Take that hotel landline phone!
Peace on Earth and Joy to Man, Russell.
After the jump watch the Sonim take a brew bath.

Aside from tax brackets, Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak and rapper 50 Cent don't have much in common. However, both men have lots of love for a two wheeled vehicle that runs on battery power. I am of course talking about the Segway .
Found today on Gizmodo , Woz will be participating in an online broadcast of a sport called Segway Polo. Instead of horses, players move around on their personal transporter. 50 Cent would make the perfect candidate for a half time performer, considering the amazingness of his Segway moment this past Spring on the opening episode of HBO's critically acclaimed show De La Hoya/Mayweather 24/7.
Should 50 perform (seriously, why wouldn't he?) he'd be face-to-face with the iPod rocking, torrent creating nerds who have made it impossible to sell a million records in week 1. On second thought, this could get ugly.

Naomi Campbell's Blackberry is fed up. Assaulting assistants while simultaneously keeping the supermodel's busy life organized is just too much for one little handheld device to handle.
So the Blackberry grew legs and vanished last night at the Led Zeppelin reunion concert in London. Guess the handheld device didn't have a "Whole Lotta Love" for the diva. That's what happens when you get thrown around like a rock in Palestine.
Let's hope that there is some way to get in touch with her in the meantime, I'd hate to have her miss that email about plans for a sequel of Cool as Ice.

Despite the fact that her popularity hit its peak six years ago, the name Brooke Burke still has clout with people who don't mind looking at busty attractive females. I am one of those people and so are the folks working in the marketing department at Dell. In an effort to sell more Dell XPS notebooks, Brooke was hired as a spokesperson for their holiday campaign. Dell was trying to bring sexy to computer shopping.
Surprisingly, sexy females and computers have never been teamed up in marketing the way beer and sexy females have. Judging from the "I can't wait to get out of here" look on Brooke's face I guess I know why. The dude in the photo is none other than Gizmodo editor, Wilson Rothman. BB doesn't find bloggers sexy. Guess it was never meant to be.
