Culinary news about Still Bleeding Money, Gordon Ramsay Looks to Malaysia – In yet another article about Gordon Ramsay’s financial woes, Bloomberg reveals that he has reported a total loss of 4.32 million pounds for the year ending August 31, 2008. Ramsay, who lost 1.78 million pounds (or about $2.87 million) on his Paris restaurant alone, blames start-up costs and assures, “The 2009 accounts for Gordon Ramsay International and Gordon Ramsay Holdings together, will reflect a robust year of trading and an emphatic return to profitability.” Meanwhile, he’s got another trick up his sleeve: According to the Star, Gordo is planning a television show that will highlight London and New York’s Malaysian cuisine, which he says “will become a force to be reckoned with.” Ramsay just shot a show on Indian food, a cuisine that Salon says will not become a trend anytime soon.

Gadget news about Archos 9 reviewed: too big, too slow, too ‘Starter’ – We hate to be the bringers of bad news, but it looks like the Archos 9 might be serving as a bit of a morality tale, showing why and how PC hardware and software might not be quite ready for the large form factor tablet experience.

Gadget news about Creative working on Zii-based MediaBook with color touchscreen, e-book slant – What’s an e-book without the e-ink? So very much, according to Creative , who just dropped word of an upcoming “MediaBook” device (which will undoubtedly look nothing like this mockup above).

Gadget news about New Sony Ericsson Rachael UI video hits, still looks nothing like Android – Calling this Rachael UI an Android “skin” is like calling Windows 95 a “DOS skin,” but that’s not to say there’s nothing to love about it. In fact, we’re rather relieved that Sony Ericsson seems to be addressing Android’s incredibly lackluster media playback interface, the SE “mediascape” version of which dominates this particular video — a sequel to the first Rachael UI tease we got back in July .
