Google PowerMeter Partners With Usage Monitoring Device TED 5000
Today Google has announced its first device partner for the Google PowerMeter. This is big news as now anyone can choose to enable their house to be monitored through Google PowerMeter whereas before now, consumers had to depend on their electric technology provider to partner with Google PowerMeter. While the price tag for the cheapest version is at $200, one could justify the cost if they use it to reduce their monthly electric bill. Many should be able to get the device to pay for itself within a year!
The TED 5000 from Energy Inc. is an energy monitor that measures electricity usage in real-time (TED stands for "The Energy Detective"). As of today, we're pleased to announce that anyone in North America can purchase and install the TED 5000 and see personal home energy data using our free software tool, Google PowerMeter, from anywhere you can access the web including through iGoogle for mobile phones. (If you already have a TED 5000, you can download a free firmware upgrade to enable this functionality.)

October 6 News from Around the Web
Foxconn Flaming Blade Motherboard Review @ Ninjalane and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!
The Flaming Blade with its strange naming scheme is intended to have that Ninja like spirit. The spirit of a strong fighter that will silently stalk and take out its target, then disappear into the night like it was never there. That is exactly how Foxconn built the Flaming Blade, the board is a trimmed down version of the BloodRage but only in "extra" features that many gamers rarely use. Of course all of this translates into a lower pricetag with great performance.

FTC: Bloggers must disclose payments for reviews
The Federal Trade Commission will try to regulate blogging for the first time, requiring writers on the Web to clearly disclose any freebies or payments they get from companies for reviewing their products. The FTC said today its commissioners voted 4-0 to approve the final Web guidelines, which had been expected. Violating the rules, which take effect Dec. 1, could bring fines up to $11,000 per violation. Bloggers or advertisers also could face injunctions and be ordered to reimburse consumers for financial losses stemming from inappropriate product reviews. We here at Legit Reviews feel like this is a fair ruling that will help protect consumers and our readers from paid off reviews. Legit Reviews has been online since 2002 and has never accepted a payment of bribe offered by a company to do a review on one of their products. I guess our honesty is working because we have been online and growing since 2002! While we do retain some items for future testing we do return many of the larger ticket items like the desktops and laptops when we are done reviewing them. No big secret or conspiracy on that front to be found.
Bloggers have long praised or panned products and services online. But what some consumers might not know is that many companies pay reviewers for their write-ups or give them free products such as toys or computers or trips to Disneyland. In contrast, at traditional journalism outlets, products borrowed for reviews generally have to be returned. Before the FTC gave notice last November it was going to regulate such endorsements, blogs varied in the level of disclosures about these potential conflicts of interest. The FTC's proposal made many bloggers anxious. They said the scrutiny would make them nervous about posting even innocent comments.
