Razer Imperator Gaming Mouse With Slip-Slidey Thumb Buttons
Razer's Imperator is pretty standard right-handed Razer gaming mouse (5600dpi tracking, etc.), but it has sliding thumb buttons, so you can adjust exactly where they sit on the mouse. Could be gimmicky, but I'm definitely intrigued. [Razer]

The Internet Weighs About 1,098,868,920,000 Pounds
How did Crave UK ever come up with that number? Multiplication and addition, of course. More »

Dell's Net Income Drops 54%
Bad news for Dell. With quarterly earnings reports in, their year-over-year revenue has dropped 15% to just shy of $13 billion, and their net income dropped 54% to $337 million. Surprisingly, Dell's home PC business is up 17% from last year, but they're making less money off it, with revenue in that sector down 10%. [Electronista]

Benchmarked: The Quad-Core i7 iMac is Super Fast
Our iMac review included a 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo chip inside, but we received the top-of-the-line iMac housing the more promising 2.8GHz Core i7 processor. Do more cores make up for lower clock speeds? Yes. Often 2X to 3X. More »

The Asus G51J 3D Laptop Is '3D Done Right'
We reviewed Acer's 3D laptop not so long ago. We found it fun, but reeking of gen 1 quirks. Now Laptop Mag has played with a new 3D laptop by Asus and found it to be pretty fantastic. More »

27-inch iMac Benchmarks: Core i7 vs. Core i5
Updated: Core i5 iMacs are fast, but early Core i7 benchmarks show 30 percent performance gains. A good upgrade for $200 (which adds 10 percent to the $2000 price). Timon-Royer's graph uses Geekbench 2 results (OS 10.6.2). [Timon-Royer]

First of the Quad Core i5 iMac Benchmarks
Electronista has benchmarked the new Quad Core i5 chips in the new iMac, and comparing his scores to mine, its pretty clear we've got almost 2x some scores in some CPU/memory tests. More »

Nokia Booklet 3G Review
The Nokia Booklet 3G is one of the nicest netbooks you can buy, with a build that aspires to be a 10-inch MacBook Pro. But it's still just a netbook, and therein lies the problem. More »

Haglöfs Laptop Drybags Have a Design Almost as Awesome as Their Name
Maybe I'm just a sucker for umlauts and radioactive thresholds of orange, but these 15 and 17-inch Haglöfs Laptop Drybags have me sold on both their padding and Ziplock-style watertight compartment. They run about $30. [Haglöfs via Stilsucht via OhGizmo!]

Dell Adamo XPS Hands On: Insanely Thin (and Just Insane)

Monster Monster Laptop Stand Will &#*@ing Chomp Your Face (Or Just Sit There)
Who would have thought that six acrylic limbs could transform a MacBook into something so evil...so powerful? Luckily the designer hasn't designed the legs as articulating and retractable, or we'd really be screwed. $40. [MonsterMonster via Unplggd via Core77]

Nvidia Confirms Intel's Senseless USB 3.0 Delay Until 2011
Bad news: Nvidia has confirmed Intel's stance on USB 3.0—no Intel chipsets will support the new standard until 2011. Short of Intel stating something different, USB 3.0 probably won't hit mass consumption until then. Is there any hope? More »

Litl Webbook Banks On Cute, Overlooks Practical
How did Asus, Acer and all the other netbook manufacturers miss such an obvious ploy? The word "Litl Webbook" must be the most cutely named gadget since the "Chumby." And it's also an interesting product in its own right. More »

Disposable Laptop Works Better as a Metaphor Than as an Actual Product
There's no doubt about it: Today, the concept of a disposable laptop is totally ridiculous. But you know what else was ridiculous? Disposable cameras, 60 years ago. And this thing just looks fantastic, so I'll let it slide. Also: symbolism! More »

Please, Don't Make a Whiskey PC with a Good Whiskey Bottle
Yesterday I spent the evening at Tuthilltown Spirits, New York's first distillery after the Prohibition, and makers of some of the most delicious whiskey I've ever had. I would never use their bottles to make a PC. It'd be sacrilege. More »

Apple iMac Review: 27 Inches and Less Chin
In the 10+ years since the iMac was born as Apple's simple computer, it's become visibly less of a computer and more of a display. And what a screen this new iMac has. More »

Apple iMac Hands On
The new iMac, built with the unibody technique, comes in two sizes, with 21.5- and 27-inch screens. It's got the same edge-to-edge glass of the MacBook Pro and will have Core 2 Duo and new Core i5/i7 quad-core options. UPDATED More »

Logitech G110 Gaming Keyboard Has More Purple Lights Than a Discoteque
Logitech's more basic counterpart to the ridiculous G19 gaming keyboard, the G110 is screenless, playing up custom lighting with "red, blue, or pretty much any shade of purple you can imagine." Mostly, I'm glad they finally integrated some headset jacks. More »

HP TouchSmart 600 Review: Multitouch Multimedia Mogul
The HP TouchSmart 600 is sort of like a girl I "dated" in fourth grade. I can't say I loved her, but I can say that I really, really liked her a lot. But the TouchSmart never wore braces. More »

Sony's Vaio L Works as Full PC or Simply a TV
Sony unveiled their promising touchscreen all-in-one PC earlier this week, but we had little idea how it really worked. A new video walks us through the entire $1300, 24-inch system, and it looks pretty nice: More »

Hanvon Slate Packs Windows 7 Multitouch Into a Shiny Aluminum Shell
It may not be the Microsoft Courier or Apple Tablet, but GottaBeMobile's Xavier reckons the Hanvon is a pretty slick-looking device. The 8.9-inch multi-touch screen supports gestures, and would be great to watch movies or fool about online. More »

Lenovo Goes All Multitouch On Us With the X200 Tablet, T400s

AMD Vision Takes Complicated Processor Stickers off Laptops…Kinda
Alright AMD, I'm feeling what you're putting down. Instead of stickers with XY and Z processor names taking up palmrests, you'd rather just tell people what the computer can do. More »
