After Years, Finally a Fourth Gaming Console

True, it may be for BRIC and other emerging markets, but that doesn’t take away from the fantastic achievement that is the Zeebo game console. While relatively low-tech in terms of its gaming specs (it outputs 640×480 graphics via RCA cables), the system has a very contemporary game delivery system, using a free 3G service […]

Asus Eee PC T91: T3 Loves It

The folks at T3 have gotten their paws all over the T91 from Asus, in more way than one. The little 8.9″ rotating touchscreen PC transforms from “ordinary” netbook to tablet computer, complete with Windows XP and Asus’ own Linux-based OS for more touchscreeny usefulness.  It’s just 2 pounds, that there screen is LED-backlit (nice!), […]

Elecom’s Scope Node Mouse: Fit for a Mech Pilot

It looks pretty darn cool, but not very comfortable. And it’s supposedly extremely precise, due to the laser being under the fore-finger and thumb area rather than in the physical center of the mouse’s surface area. For about $60, it’s available in black, silver or a combo platter (although we’re not sure if this’ll be sold […]

Dell’s Adamo Laptop Looks Rrrrrrazor-Sharp, Cool; Price Will Cause Agita

Ok, so there’s no denying that Dell’s Adamo laptop, in either Pearl or Onyx, is incredibly cool-looking. And it’s got a decent feature set, even in the base model. In addition, Dell’s done a pretty nice job of making matching peripherals – for both color versions – to create a brand, rather than just a […]

Sci Fi Network Changes Name to SyFy, Unleashes Programming Slate Full of Phonetically Simple Shows

NBC’s Sci Fi channel, often ridiculed for the decisions made by its seemingly moronic leaders, has outdone itself now by changing its name, officially, to SyFy. Maybe they thought people were too stupid to spell Sci Fi and that’s why the numbers of some of their programs are so low. Or it could be, as […]

GM Wins Best Timing Award for Recall of 277,000 Vehicles

Well, we thought it was pretty cool when GM told Uncle Sammy that they didn’t need that other $2 billion earmarked for them. But now the general has another costly headache on its hands. GM’s announced a recall of 277,000 vehicles that possibly have a loose clip on their transmission shift cable that would cause […]

Lamborghini’s Murcielago LP 650-4 Roadster: Positively Bad-Ass

My love affair with Lamborghini started precisely during the opening credits of Cannonball Run, and although I’m generally one to go for a coupe rather than a roadster, there’s no denying how amazing this vehicle looks. A few details and more pix after the clicky thingie…

Tired of Apple’s Disease? Join the Club…

Oh, the irony! It was 25 years ago that Apple showed THAT commercial on TV and got the world excited about the Macintosh computer. And I was one of those excited among the masses. Not that they were necessarily pulling me away from a competitor, mind you…I was a die-hard Apple IIe user who wished he […]
