We’re not sure who nodded off in the art department, but we’re fairly certain they’re going to be wide awake come Monday morning. Apparently, Radio Shack is running circulars this week featuring the iPod touch… with the Installer and MobileChat icons. We’re sure Apple will be stoked to discover that a jailbroken iPod is hanging out in one of America’s most-viewed ads, and we’re equally sure that buyers will be pleased to learn they don’t really get an IM application with their purchase. Champagne for everyone!

Update: Take a look at a screen grab from the circular after the break.

Logitech has again achieved another milestone by redesigning their gaming keyboard and making it even better. This new, award-winning G15 gaming keyboard by Logitech is at the top of its class. It offers the hardcore gamers a level of in-game information that has never been seen before.

One of the best features that you will immediately notice with this keyboard is that it has an adjustable backlit LCD display that you can tilt forward or backward. This LCD display screen displays several information about you within a game.

If you’re in a shooter game such as Counterstrike or maybe Quake, having this keyboard displays the number of grenades that you have and even the number of bullets. The amount of information that you can customize this to display is staggering.

Aside from the crucial information that you get to see in this gaming keyboard, there is an option to set timers so that you will be able to keep track of game events. The level of programmability and control is simply astounding as you have 18 “G-Keys” which allow you to execute macros such as casting spells in games such as World of Warcraft with the press of a single button.

There’s also a feature in the keyboard that deliberately switches off the “Windows” key so if you accidentally hit it, it will not end your game. All in all, this is a good-looking keyboard with an even better-playing versatility.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Yahoo’s board members are formally discussing Microsoft Corp’s $42 billion unsolicited offer for the company and have scheduled an in-person meeting for next week, the All Things Digital blog reported on Friday.
Board members will have discussed the bid by phone on Friday and are expected to meet next Wednesday at Yahoo headquarters in Sunnyvale, California, the blog said, citing unnamed sources.

A Yahoo spokeswoman, commenting on an earlier report that the board was meeting on Friday, said the company was still “carefully and thoroughly evaluating” the Microsoft offer but would not say when its directors plan to meet. The company declined to comment on reports of a Wednesday meeting.

Microsoft made its offer public on February 1.

Yahoo has sought an alternate tie-up with Web search leader Google Inc to maintain its independence. Should it pursue the Microsoft offer, it is expected to seek a higher price than the current cash and stock offer, now valued at about $29 per share.

Analysts have said Microsoft could be persuaded to raise its bid to make it easier for Yahoo co-founder and CEO Jerry Yang and his board to accept it.

Separately, a major investor in Yahoo met with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to see if he would be willing to raise the offer, the New York Post reported.

Capital Research and Management, which owns more than 11 percent of Yahoo shares and more than 6 percent of Microsoft, wants to know how much more the software maker might pay if Yahoo rejects the initial offer, the Post said, citing a source familiar with the meeting.

Officials for Capital Research and Microsoft declined comment on the report.

Yahoo shares rose 16 cents to close at $29.20 on the Nasdaq. Microsoft shares rose 44 cents, or 1.6 percent, to $28.56.
