Amana Makes Write-On Fridge for Amazon Women

A refrigerator with a dry-erase surface seems like one of those “no duh” kinds of products, so it’s no surprise that Amana came out with one. What is surprising, however, is that their gallery includes this picture of an Amazonian giant who has escaped said river society to lead a life of blissful solitude in […]

Upcoming Microsoft Arc Mouse is Curvy, May Kill You in Your Sleep

Microsoft is coming out with some new hardware this coming holiday season, including this mouse that looks like it might be a distant cousin of the Droideka. Sure, it looks all swanky and whatnot, especially when compared with a typical mouse, but if you buy one, don’t leave it alone with kids. Or pets. Or […]

Outside the Deer Park Apple Store today, there were about 150 people in line already when I got there at 7:45am. Right behind me was a family from Israel…I didn’t really talk to them, so I’m not sure if they lived here too, were just visiting, etc. But they were obviously pretty excited about getting […]

Seagate Announces 1.5TB Hard Drive

Seagate today announced the Barracuda 7200.11, a 1.5 TB (that’s terabyte) hard drive – the world’s first. The drive uses Seagate’s perpendicular recording technology to squeeze  1,500 GB (that’s gigabytes) onto a normal 3.5″ disk drive. Normal in size, not capacity. Obviously. To put that in perspective, you could have over 10,000 users on your […]

Hasselblad Introduces 50MP Camera, Frightens Actresses Everywhere

True, it may look like half of a two-piece video camera system from 1980, but this is actually a 50MP camera…enough mega detail to show that people’s pores have pores and their wrinkles have wrinkles. You’d better enjoy seeing super-detailed pictures of flowers and buildings and fluffy bunnies, because I can’t imagine many celebrities would allow […]
