Asus Eee Desktop PC EP20 Images Leaked

We brought you news about the Eee Desktop PC EP20 a little while back, but it looks like the chaps at Hot Hardware have managed to get hold of some shots of the final, production line models. Unfortunately, they aren't willing to cite their source, but they are willing to say that the images "are indeed shots of an Asus Eee PC Desktop product that should be arriving to market some time in the next quarter or so." From what we have previously seen, the EP20 isn't quite as small as a Mac Mini, but we're still liking the design. The bubbly pattern on the side of the white edition just makes us all fizzy with excitement. We can't wait. [Hot Hardware]

Desk Assortment is Like a Frankenstein USB Junk Monster

The world is infatuated with USB gadgets, so why not put a whole bunch of it together in a value priced assortment that pays no attention to order or aesthetics? The visionaries at Think Geek have done just that with their Mini USB Desktop Multi-tasking Device. Features include a cup warmer, task lamp, mini vacuum cleaner (that doesn't even work all that well), and an open USB port. Plus it is all packaged in a island that measures a whopping 8 inches in diameter. If it wasn't so damn cheap at $14.99, I would be laughing my ass off right now. [Think Geek via OhGizmo via DVICE]

Lumenlab Q42 HDTV and PC Chimera Now Shipping

Honestly, I still don't get the appeal of this thing: It's a computer crammed inside of an HDTV. Woohoo. But Lumenlab's Q42 is now priced and shipping for those interested in the hot hybrid action: $3850, which isn't stroke-inducing, but definitely more than buying each separately. But hey, it's handmade. [Lumenlab via Crave]

Inflatable Mouse is Super Portable, Fun to Squish

The Jelly Click mouse concept could make it easy for business travelers to carry around a full-size mouse without taking up a whole lot of space.

PC + Lamp = Turning Lamp

Turning Lamp by designer Seungchan Lee, is a revolutionary design that blends a lamp and a PC; two items that aren't usually associated with each other. The PC sits atop a lamp stand that still has its power-pull-cord, allowing for the PC's power to be controlled by simply pulling on the cord. With an OLED screen on each face of the PC, each of the four sides can act as their own screen, allowing four users to do their own thing. The screens themselves can display pictures, music, weather, memos, aquariums etc. Being completely wireless, the Turning Lamp is controlled by a compact folding touchscreen keyboard and a pen style mouse. Hit the jump to see more this beautiful lamp/PC mash-up. More »

The 100 Greatest Tech Innovations Of All-Time List Takes Balls

Whenever someone does a comprehensive countdown list like this, it goes without saying that they are really sticking their neck out. And Maximum PC is putting everything on the line with their list of the 100 greatest tech innovations of all-time. The title is a little misleading given the fact that the list is confined to PC innovations, but with a name like Maximum PC, what did you expect? Naturally, the top ten list will be a source of great controversy, so hit the following link and get your fingers limbered up for some heated commenting debates. [Maximum PC]

Motion Activated iPod Speaker: Control the Tunes With a Wave of Your Hand (Maybe)

Now, here is a great idea —a speaker that connects to your computer, iPod or any other MP3 player that can be controlled with a wave of the hand. Plus, it gives off a "soft ambient glow." According to the product site, the motion detection system allows you to adjust the volume or tune into a different FM radio station, but there is no mention of the ability to cycle through the tunes on your MP3 player. Surely a company wouldn't go through the trouble of developing a motion-activated MP3 speaker without incorporating this functionality, right? Available for £45.95 ($94).

How To: Put a Computer In Your Car


Over at the Corsair RAM Forums, there's a step by step guide to putting a computer in your car. The author starts with components, like a case that sips on the 12-volts from your car battery. Then he goes on to suggest optical and hard drives, a Mini ITX motherboard from VIA, and a 7-inch touchscreen LCD. After that, he outlines how to connect your new mobile rig to your car's electrical and audio systems. No mic for voice control, no GPS hardware, but still way cooler than twiddling with the dials on a regular old car stereo. Hopefully, nothing crashes. – Brian Lam More »

Wearable Wrist Computer From 1984

Take a gander at the Seiko UC-2000. This is how far we've come in 22 years. Compare that monster with the Zypad WL 1000, which has WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and Linux/Windows CE. The Seiko, well, we're lucky if it tells the time correctly. – Jason Chen More »
