    The general demographic of Gizmodo would be unable to use this thing, as we all live on vitamin D supplements to make up for our lack of sunlight.

    Nice try, but my long work hours are such that I get into the office before the sun comes up and leave after the sun comes down. So, effectively, I never get exposed to sunlight. Take that!

    Wait a minute. Shit.

    Sharpen those edges and it could double as a shuriken. I've always wanted an iPod charger that could kill.

    Mmm... Is it just me or does anyone else think it's bad that these eBook readers are getting tied to book stores? Ideally, we'd want an open device that you can use to buy stuff from any online retailer. #barnesnoble

    @Hello Mister Walrus: I don't think you're alone in that sentiment, but right now it's the retailers who are pulling the strings. That said, the Sony reader and the Nook support epub format, which is open (but still DRM) and books published in that format are available from multiple online retailers. Amazon owns the Mobi format I think, which is widely available but not directly compatible with the Kindle. And of course Amazon will translate any non-DRM'd ebook for you for free, and all three support PDF in one way or another (though not DRM, I think).

    It'll be interesting to see what shakes out in the next year, but for now it looks like the Nook has the advantage for people who want more support for 3rd party formats, and who want a robust online store. I'm waiting for the reviews of both the hardware and the web resources though, since it's easy to get excited by the gee-whiz factor of the Nook but the reality may be very different. #barnesnoble

    Looks like another use for all those free promo-credit cards I get in the mail.

    (Prior uses include paint scraper, door opener, door keep-opener, ice scraper, epoxy mixing board, caulk bead spreader and gutter patch material.)

    I'm all for simplicity but shouldn't something like this actually come with the macbooks? No? Ok. Thanks for playing.

    @The-Ohio-Player: Why would Apple include such a thing with their laptops? The majority of MacBook users don't use them with external monitors.

    But I'm sure you're also for Apple including all sorts of crap in their box, like speakers, wireless mice, carrying cases, and trial software.

    In reply to BookArc Stand Turns a MacBook Into a Desktop

    I did exactly the same with my white macbook using the included stands in my Dlink router. They are white, fit snugly and were absolutely free. I never power down my mac, I put it to sleep only. In the rarest ocasion I need to power down, is a minor hassle to pull the whole computer up and open slightly the lid to press the power button and immediately close it.

    Overpriced (like a lot of Apple-related things), but still a neat idea. I think what most people are missing when bashing this is that the CD drive for that MacBook is right there on the front, making it extremely accessible. I don't think it would work so well with the MBPs, though, which have the disc drive on the front.

    @soulfinger: no, its only expensive for people who can't afford it. Anything can be overpriced, even if its only $10, but only cost like $0.15 to make, that's overpriced, but people can still afford it. Overpriced means its not worth what you're paying for it; Not, necessarily, that you can't afford to pay for it.
