Shiny Video Review: The ASUS Eee PC 4G
The whole world seems to be going crazy for ASUS’ teensy Eee PC, which is currently sold out everywhere, and topping…
Chernobyl's explosion due to hideous Ukrainian PC mod, experts claim
This lovely PC mod hails from the Ukraine. Now, I know you’re eyeing the picture hesitantly, dubious someone would actually do this to their lovely PC tower, but let me clear something up for you: they would. I went to the Ukraine a few months back for holiday, and this sort of spectacle was sold in the shops, on the street, heck even the hotel gift shop.
The chap behind this wondrous creation, Mr. Valerie Beetle, is apparently obsessed with sketching (dragons…
The ASUS Ecobook will match your kitchen's cheap laminate flooring
Good god. We often fantasise about a revival in woodgrain-covered technology, but the reality is… pretty nasty. No wonder this sort of thing was outlawed by Brussels in the mid-1980s.
This new bamboo-laminated beast is the Asus Ecobook – an environmentally-friendly machine that’s apparently better than everything else because 50% of its components can be recycled. Frankly, the last thing we think about when buying a laptop is what’s going to happen to it when it breaks and we have to throw it away, but if you want something that’s hypothetically slightly better for the world after it stops working and cost more to fix than to replace, this sort of does the job.
Vodafone starts flogging a 7.2Mbps USB modem for wireless internet roaming
Not the prettiest picture we’ve ever had on an article, but wait until you hear what that boring white box is capable of.
We’re all in agreement that USB modems are nifty inventions, and I’m sure many of us couldn’t live without their roaming internet abilities. Vodafone are touting this new modem as being 22 times faster than…
Commodore PCs get pretty, sorry, HARDCORE paint jobs with C-Kin Designs, like this Rubik’s Cube one
As all good things in history, the Rubik’s Cube has seen a recent revival in the trend lists, and Commodore is certainly channelling the ’70s throwback through their latest gaming PC.
It may appear a bit stupid, hulking away on your home desk like a giant Rubik’s Cube-themed Autobot, but don’t let your friends rip into you too much, as we all know Commodore PCs are high-powered monsters…
Transform learning into fun with a Transformers Trans-Portable laptop
Forget the kids – I want Optimus Prime to teach me mathematics and important grammar lessons!
Gone are the days when kind old Mrs. Potter at the local state school is solely relied upon for teaching, as…
Perfect Halloween PC, the Swarovski encrusted Hello Kitty NEC
Oh dear god, noooo! This NEC laptop coated in Swarovski crystals and Hello Kitty-fied obviously hit the internet on the right day, it’s frightfully scary. Honestly, who would buy this monstrosity?
Well, someone who likes nice specs in their laptops, admittedly. Under all that bling, the LaVie G laptop is sporting…
Walkstation workstation: jog on a treadmill as you blog
Hands up – how many people would purchase this Walkstation, thinking they’d be able to fit in at least an hour’s exercise each day as they plough through their RSS feeds, but after a week, it’s start accumulating dust as the couch in front of a Hollyoaks episode is more appealing than jogging whilst surfing.
Priced at $6,500, you’d think consumers would be able to afford a personal trainer for that amount of money, but…
The Chumby squeezable clock/ultraportable wi-fi lump
It’s a sort of bedside mini internet device, the logical update to the clock radio. Chumby is designed to keep you in touch with your “internet life,” so if you wake up immediately in a panic about Facebook, email, blog updates, news feeds, RSS, Twitters, other blogs and whatnot, Chumby is ready.
Your other half will no doubt be ecstatic that there’s an internet connection right next to you 24 hours a day.
Sony updates BWU-200S PC Blu-ray burner SHOCKER!
Yes, bit of a boring product here, obvious through it being shunted off to the left there, with the text wrapped around the image so firmly. Definitely one for the Blu-ray fanatics to ogle, whilst the rest of us can shake our heads disapprovingly, smug with our HD-DVD blankets around us.
Sony has updated their internal PC Blu-ray burner, with the BWU-200S writing up to 50GB in just 45 minutes. For the Sony fanboys who’ll buy anything with a Sony badge slapped on it, but haven’t yet made the move to the HD format, they’ll be pleased to know it also writes to standard DVD…
