Headlines
Good afternoon,

Sharp Corporation of Australia has announced a voluntary recall of 2,000 42-inch LCD televisions after mandatory testing discovered certain models contained a loose foam shielding that could come in contact with the power board causing melting and heat damage.

Also making news, ex-Beatles crooner, Paul McCartney, has released his latest single, Dance Tonight, exclusively on YouTube, touting the worldwide video community website as “the leader in online video”. In just over a day, the video generated more than 201,000 hits.
