We got there late, but we got there. Will Leitch, a special friend of Gizmodo, sends us a twisted missive from the heart of Mac Country. Will is not a techie. He's a journalistic pit-bull, a sports fan, and is coming to MacWorld with fresh eyes. He sees what we won't see. He'll bring back the blood, the glory, and the heart of the Mac Community. Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you:

Panasonic Color eBook
Move over B&W Sony Librie eBook, there's a new eBook in town. A color eBook. That's still a prototype. And may be available next year. But not here. Tough break, fans of eBooks. You better get yourself a pBook, which is a paper book. More »

SKYN Tones Laptop Skins
I don't know what's up with all these laptop adhesive things, but it's kind of silly. I suppose it might be good if you want to keep your aluminum Powerbook nice and clean, but why would you need one for a generic plastic beast? More »

Infill T3: Big Time Car PC
It's big and it's brawny and it wants to live in your car. No, it's not your mother—it's the INFILLL T3, a double-tall car in-dash car PC with a 1.6GHz CPU, a 40GB hard drive, GPS, and a lot more (although maybe not Wi-Fi, which seems miraculously shortsighted). Price and availability is still up in the air, but it looks like a beast. Too bad it's retarded to watch movies while driving. More »

Schtickers LapSchticks
What makes the LapSchticks Schtickers more appropriate for laptop decoration than other stickers? Not much—except the $20 stickers can be easily applied and removed, allowing you to swap out and customize your laptop as the spirit moves you. The designs aren't amazing, but they aren't terribly gaudy, either. This 'DJ Turntable' Schticker, for instance, is actually pretty slick. More »

IBM Launches Dual-Core PowerPC 970 Chip
With all this Intel stuff, I'm surprised IBM is still even TALKING to Apple, but whatever. That boy is just asking to get his heart broke. Apple is like SO over IBM and he comes out with some crazy dual core G5 like nothing ever happened and we all know something happened namely Intel was totally almost doing Apple at Jamie's party last week.

Antec Sonata II Reviewed (Verdict: Once You Go Black...)
We normally steer clear of commodity PC parts (except video cards, because, well, those make everyone happy), but I've had an Antec Sonata case for the better part of a year and am a big fan. It's quiet, it's nice looking without being fruity, and it wasn't expensive as these things go. Now Antec has the second generation 'Sonata II' out, with a even quieter design (they ditched those punched holes in the side) and a better power supply. If you're looking for a top-shelf case that might help your PC from sounding like a whirlwind, check it out (just don't plug in the eye-searing front LEDs). More »

Motion Computing LS800 Mini Tablet PC
Some of you are going to be very happy about Motion Computing's new LS800 Windows Tablet PC. It's small, for starters—just a 8.4-inch screen. And it's reasonably powerful, with a 1.2GHz Pentium M (certainly strong enough to get any business computing done). But by being so tiny, it might not serve as the laptop-replacement some people want, despite an optional plug-in keyboard and dock. Whatever—we prefer options in form factors over 'do everything' devices any day. More »

Friction Free Lube
Those dirty Japanese have discovered an almost friction-free lube. Before you get all worked up about the future possibilities in the realm of hentai tentacle porn, it's actually designed for fans and other machinery. The lubricant is made of an array of fullerene molecules between thin films of

iPod Mini Everywhere
This interesting piece of patent marginalia shows a potential iPod Mini stuck inside a potential PowerBook. This is actually probably just Apple's way of covering its arse when someone comes out with a similar notion of an MP3 player built into a laptop, something about prior art or whatever, but the premise is compelling. The iPod acts as the laptop's touch pad and, like some other laptops we've seen, the screen supplies handy info like battery life, grayscale pr0n, and track listings. Will it ever be made? Naw. But it's nice to know someone is thinking out in Cupertino. More »

SilverStone LC18
Case designs have been leaning towards the "pimp-my-mobo" side of things recently and this is no exception. THe SilverStone LC18 has an external LCD monitor on the case and looks like the bastard spawn of a MacMini and ThermalTake death-beast. Featured at this year's C3, the LC18 is an interesting mix of elegance and over-the-topness that I can't quite get my head around. I wonder about heating issues with a phat LCD inside a tight overclocker's case. More »

Adventures in the Sysadmin Trade
John here. Got back from the NOC last night—the NOC is in DC and I'm in New York, so it was kind of like visiting the reclusive Uncle rather than a fun road trip—and I rebuilt MOST of the system. Now I need to get my MySQL DBs back out of an image of the disk that failed. I ran mke2fs -S on it, ran fsck, but now I have five million files in the lost+found. Anyone know any way to dig them out without ending up with a mess? More »
