NEWS YOU CAN USE

MERRY LCD CHRISTMAS
Kung may balak kayong bumili ng flatscreen TV, makaka-mura kayo ng malaki kung sa Pasko na kayo bibili, according to the ISuppli industry analyst group. For example, a 42-inch name-brand LCD TV which currently retails at around $1,900 could go down to $1,200 during the coming Christmas shopping season. This is due to the fierce competition among LCD TV manufacturers. No news yet if plasma TV retail prices would follow suit. (To compare LCD and plasma TVs, click here.)

DIET DON'T?
Nakakataba ba ang diet soda? Could be, according to a recent report which indicated that people who drink diet soft drinks don't lose weight. In fact, they gain weight, a new study conducted by the University of Texas Health Center shows.

FLYING LIGHT
Simula sa June, when you buy a Spirit Airlines ticket you might get a cheaper rate. That's the good news. The bad news? Make sure you're traveling light and also not a heavy soda drinker because you will have to pay for your checked baggage and in-flight drinks. Each checked baggage will cost you $5; for a Coke or any other beverage, you'll have to fork over a buck. According to a report, this bold move might be copied by other airlines.
