Apple Says White Is Cool Again... But Is It?

In an otherwise surprise-free keynote today, one without booms or "one more thing"s, one bit of news stood out: White made a quiet return to the iPod family in the premium 16GB iPhone 3G. Sure, it never fully left Apple—remaining the default color for earbuds, plugs, power bricks, AirPort products and the cheapest MacBooks—but we were finally getting used to a world without white iPods. Does this mean after nine short months put out to the pastures, white is already retro-cool again? More »

AT&T Slips iPhone Black Reference in Customer Pages

Something called the "iPhone Black" is now appearing in the "Select Model" popup menu on AT&T's registered customers screen. An AT&T spokesperson has told us that the company doesn't have any comment on this. And we don't know what "iPhone Black" means, but some may take this as a confirmation of the rumored all-black iPhone allegedly coming next month. However, since there's no other information except this screenshot, we will take it as is. [AppleInsider] More »

New Zune Colors Make the Beast With Two Black Backs

If you've got time and absolutely nothing better to do, you can graba resource explorer and dive into the Zune software. What would you find? Some images of two new Zunes, both with a black back. The current black 80GB and red 8GB Zunes have a silver back, which are also pictured, so these would be new new. It looks like just bad lighting, but the resource item actually says "black back." We don't know whether these are retail colors or just limited edition Zunes for employees, but we'll probably find out soon. [Zunited News Center]

Colorware's Matte Black iPhone Fools Friends, Bloggers

It's not the 3G iPhone, but Colorware's Stealth iPhone trades in the silver trim and brushed metal back for an entirely matte black motif. It's also extraordinarily expensive, weighing in at $675 and $775 to the stock model's $399 and $499. Colorware does throw in a matte black iPhone dock and pair of earbuds, but even that probably doesn't justify the increased cost. Then again, some people really love black. [Colorware]

Nintendo DS Lite Now in Black and Blue, We Think It's the Sexiest One Yet

Circuit City has a cobalt blue/black DS Lite for preorder on their website. Considering three minutes have passed since the last time the DS got a costume change, this makes perfect sense to us. No word on the release date, but as always, it's $130. Get it now to complete your collection and make Nintendo a few more dollars. [Circuit City] —Thanks, Klaus!

Rumor Smashed: Blue Zune Not Blue Zune

False alarm. The Blue Zune we showed you in the Target ad isn't actually a Blue Zune, it's a Black Zune that just looks blue thanks to the crappy image. The black one does actually look slightly blue when you look at it (the doubleshot is blue), so we can see where the confusion comes from. But still, the image was REALLY blue. [Zune Online]

Hands-On and Slot Exploration with the Sexy Samsung Printers (Verdict: NeXT Flashback)

Last week we gave you the specs of Samsung's new Windows-, Linux- and Mac-compatible printers &mdash the ML-1630 is a monochrome laser printer, the SCX-4500 a 16 page-per-minute multi-function printer &mdash and yesterday we got to see them for ourselves. Glossy, smooth, they're the kind of printers that make you want to kick off your heels, sprawl on the top and start crooning "Makin' Whoopie." But first of all we wanted to know what the slot at the front of the ML-1630 was, so we beckoned over a Samsung gal... Updated after the jump

Microsoft Adding Extra GPU Cooling to Retail Xbox 360 Elites

Apparently Microsoft has started adding extra GPU cooling to new retail Xbox 360 elites in order to stave off overheating problems (and the three red lights) the units may be having. These added heatsinks were only previously found in refurbished Xbox 360s in Europe, which meant we were pretty much SOL. Ben Heck dismantled a new Xbox 360 and found a new heat pipe and new materials, but still thought that the cooling was a bit weak because there are no fans directly on any of the components.

Xbox 360 Black Elite Gallery


Spanish-language gaming website Consolas has a bunch of pics of the black, or negra, Xbox 360 Elite. And if these pics are real—which they definitely look like—we have to hand it to Microsoft for being consistent. Not only did they make the console black, they made the controller, battery packs, play and charge kit, and even the wired headphones black. The memory unit's still white, though, as is the version of the 120GB for white Xbox 360s. More »

Josh put together some pretty detailed instructions about how to use Mr. Clean to tidy up that MacBook, so hit up the link and let us know how it goes, fellow BlackBook owners. –Travis Hudson More »

Limited Edition Black Xbox 360 HD DVD Drive

Last week the rumormill was churning again about the black Xbox 360 and today this picture of a black 360 HD DVD drive landed in our inbox. This dark drive it is a special edition model only given to the development team who worked on the product. But if the Xbox 360 black rumors are true, wouldn't they want to also release the HD DVD player in black for anal retentive home-entertainment-system owners? Regardless, matte-finish black sure is purty. –Travis Hudson More »

Wiimote Attacks Woman's Weak Point For Massive Damage

If you thought all those TVs getting damaged by errant Wiimotes were bad, take a look at the woman above. Here's how it happened. A guy comes home drunk and sees his girlfriend fighting a Zelda boss. He grabs the controllers to help her out, but when she approached from a 4 o'clock vector, he swung back and gave her an eye-full of Nintendo goodness. Classy. More »

Best Buy's Black Friday Ad

Best Buy's Black Friday Ad, one of the crown jewels for Black Friday season, has just been posted online. Some of the pretty decent deals are a Kodak 5-megapixel camera for $79, a Celeron E-Machines PC with 15-inch LCD for $189, a HP Core Solo Notebook for $379, a Toshiba 50-inch Plasma for $1699, and a 32-inch and 42-inch WestingHouse for $479 and $999 respectively. Some pretty decent stuff here, but they'll probably have two or three per store and be sold out unless you show up at 10 PM the night before. – Jason Chen More »
