ASUS Continues Flood of Eee-Branded Gear With External HD, Optical Drive and 3G Card

Still not content with keeping the Eee name only on their successful (but ballooning) line of netbooks, this unofficial but legit-looking crew of peripherals joins the Eee Box, Eee TV, Eee Monitor and Eee Enema (spot the outlier!) in further desecrating the brand. Included is an external hard disk with a fold-out USB connector, an optical drive and a 3G data connection card—which put together make up for most netbooks' feature shortcomings. No release details but we'll keep an Eee Eye out, if we can make sense of the whole mess. [Eee PC News via Laptop]

Sprint's Shared Plans Also Getting the Unlimited Treatment

Sprint's sort of following in T-Mobile's unlimited family plan footsteps when they rejiggered their plans to include unlimited options for shared plans. Now, if you add an additional line onto one of their $99 Simply Everything Talk Share plan for $9.99, each line will be able to share unlimited messaging, email, data, GPS, and everything else besides actually using your minutes to talk. For that, you don't get to share your unlimited minute bucket, but instead have to pay additional for more minutes. Hit up their release if you want the details.

Sprint Call Plan Only $89.99, Loses Inclusive Data

We seemed to have missed this in the recent unlimited call plan-gasm, but Sprint is apparently offering a call plan that rings in at $89.99/month and includes unlimited voice, messaging and push to talk. The plan is cheaper because it does not include any data usage in the price. Still, it is $10 less than Verizon and AT&T offerings, both of which will only give you unlimited voice for $99/month. If you don't need data access via your handset, checkout our awesome cheat sheet to see why this really is exceptional value for money. [Mobileburn]

Toshiba Totally Gutting HD DVD Prices: Will It Help?

This isn't suspicious timing at all. Toshiba is slashing the crap out of HD DVD player prices to push mass market adoption—cheap holiday deals are now locked in tight. The HD-A3's new MSRP is $150—cheaper than the 360's attachment (will it get the chop, too?)—and Toshiba's high-end HD-A35 is only $300. (Amazon has got another round of cheap HD DVDs, while you're at it.) But even if you can pick up an HD DVD player for a song, does it mean you want to? [PRNewsWire]

Sputnik Ceiling-Mounted Subwoofer Looks Like a Turret of Sound

We've been playing too much Mass Effect, but these Sputnik Subwoofers look like mounted turrets that shoot lasers at you. Instead of lasers, these ceiling-dangling units shoot sound; deep, deep sound. Inside is a 12-inch passive subwoofer that can handle 1000 watts of continuous power directly at your face, provided your face is in its line of sight. Looks deadly, sounds deadly, and goes perfectly with the Venus loudspeakers from Everything But the Box to make a Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker themed living room. If we weren't poor as balls, we'd pick up one of these for $2950. [Audio Junkies]

Not much information accompanied these pics, but as you can plainly see, this Porsche Design Mobile Phone P'9521 is a flip phone and has a squared-off design that might be attractive, but we'd have to hold one in our hands before we could really tell.

Scientist Declares Beer as the Source of Civilization and Technology, Nobody Is Surprised

This is a post that Gizmodo's resident hops philosopher Travis should have written, but as he's sleeping one off it's been left up to me. Charlie Bamforth, a British academic who holds the most fabulous of titles—the University of California's Anheuser Busch Endowed Professor of Brewing Science—claims that without beer, we would be without computers, the iPod, Silicon Valley and the space program.
