    SGI Molecule Packs 10,000 Atom Cores, One Ton of Awesomeness

    It may be just a concept for now, but the new SGI Molecule blows our minds with its potential power: Imagine 5,000 Atom N330 chips in just one 3U rack computer, the size of your average PC desktop. That's 10,000 cores in one single computer, or 40 more times the processing power of your typical 1U x86 cluster node. Is this possible? How do they expect to do this without actually creating a hole full of molten metal and plastic? More »

    Brando's New Cartridge-Style HDD Dock Goes Full Multimedia Player

    Clearly one to take a good idea and run with it, Brando has just come up with this new cartridge-style HDD dock that also acts as a media player. So via its s-video and composite sockets you can stream audio, pictures, and video (including divx, with subtitles) to TV and it even has a remote. It takes 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA HDDs (and SD cards too) and connects via USB 2.0. Hmm: a largish rectangular "cartridge" which you plug in to a socket to play movies on TV, why's that sound familiar? Available now for $84. [Brando]

    HDD Plug-in Dock Gets Some Two-Slot, eSATA Action

    First there was the strangely Nintendo cartridge-like USB HDD dock, then there was the USB hub version. Now the strange external drive dock has got two slots for either 3.5- or 2.5-inch SATA drives, and also connects to your PC via eSata. There's one connection for each, mind you, so you'd better have a few slots free—though you can fall back on the USB option. Available soon for $107.56. [GeekStuff4U via Akihabaranews]

    WineM RFID Wine Rack at NextFest

    ThingM's WineM is one part intelligent wine rack, one part light show. This concept, currently on display at NextFest, works by taking bottles of wine tagged with RFID stickers and placing them onto the rack. Now if you're having Lamb Shank for dinner and want a decent Shiraz, just input into the computer that you want a Shiraz over $50, then WineM automatically lights up each bottle of wine that fits the description.

    Top 10 Boob Gadgets

    American Inventor Spot likes boobies as much as we do. They've compiled a list of the top 10 boobie gadgets that you or your wife can buy. We've covered some of them here before, like the boob remote, mousepad and the breast-shaped shampoo dispenser, but keeping up with these things is a full-time job. That's why we're glad American Inventors are on the case. – Jason Chen More »

    Eight Dollar Home Network Rack Solution

    This is something so simple that we wish we'd have thought of it. Instead of strewing your router, switch, cable modem, external hard disk, and other miscellaneous gear around your desk, grab a stack of letter trays and place them inside. They're compact, cheap, and have holes on the back and sides for cables to run. The trays are $2 each at OfficeMax so you can make a stack as high as your dad's old playboys. – Jason Chen More »
