Asus Eee PC 901 Shipping Now

The Asus Eee PC 901—the new 8.9-inch Eee—is shipping now from Newegg (Amazon still has it on pre-order only). Configured with Atom processor, 1GB of RAM and 12GB of SSD storage, the little laptop can be yours for just $599.99. And in a strange cosmic occurrence, today is the day I expect to finally get my MSI Wind test unit.

So is anyone picking up the 901? [Newegg via I4U]

Geniuses at AT&T Rush Out a Package with Only a Plastic Bag Inside

We've shown you irresponsible shipping before, but this one takes the cake. Brett from TUAW ordered a refurbed 16GB iPhone. He got (and was charged) for two by accident. OK, that's annoying enough. But the next day he received another package from AT&T. It was shipped 2-day via DHL. Inside? One empty plastic bag, complete with an invoice for "75011 MISC iPhone PPA BAG ... $0.00." More »

The Idiotic Shipping Hall of Shame and a Call to Online Retailers

Yesterday, I asked you guys to send in pictures of examples of wasteful shipping habits from online retailers that you've bought things from. You came through in spades. When you see just one example of Dell sending a flash drive in a box big enough for a laptop you think it's an amusing fluke or a mistake; but when you see this many, you know it's a pattern. Take a look at the Hall of Shame below, and then let's figure out how to change this lousy practice.

Dell's Wasteful Shipping Habits Take a Steamy Dump on the Environment

There are few practices as stupid, simple and damaging to the environment as wasteful packing. Take a look at this ludicrous box that Dell used to send a 2GB thumb drive. It's about 100 times too big, and it's not just wasteful because of the cardboard used. I, for one, am sick of seeing crap like this. More »

Latest by Xenobiologista: @ubergoose: who do you get supplies from? Fisher Scientific shipping to where I am (UW-Madison) usually pads stuff with brown paper or recyclable airbags, and the boxes aren't ridiculously overstuffed unless you order like one thermometer at a time. more »

Video: The Illy Shipping Container House

Gridskipper's got a video of the Illy House in a Shipping Container, the shipping container that (surprise!) transformers into something you can actually live in. The thing takes a good amount of time to change—this ain't no Bumblebee—but something tells us that if Dexter was in one of these instead of a real shipping container, he wouldn't be as messed up as he is now.

Why You Always Order Insurance When Shipping an HDTV

We know lots of you have TV shipping horror stories. Hell, we do too. Once we got a review TV that was packaged just like this poor TV. While it was broken, it wasn't in nearly as bad shape as this guy. More »

iPod Shuffle v2.0 Finally Shipping

Remember that super-small iPod Shuffle v2.0 from the Showtime event well over a month ago? The good news is that this player is finally shipping. Way too long after it was announced, in my opinion. Nevertheless, it is still a nifty little MP3 player, and it is made by Apple, so we can't hate on it for too long. Go pick it up from an Apple Store or order it online—just in time for the holidays. – Travis Hudson More »
