Surf Chair Can't Be Any Worse For Your Back

At this very moment, I'm surely doing permanent damage to my spine by typing away on my laptop while slouching upon my particularly broken-in couch. If only I had this Surf Chair, my future trips to the supermarket and social gatherings wouldn't be inhibited by the necessity of walking on all four appendages. Seemingly ergonomic, tiny pillows support various points of your body for a sci-fi recliner effect while you browse away for hours on end. But who am I kidding? I'm not leaving the house today. Or tomorrow if I can help it. [coroflot via Techfresh]

Microsoft Wearable Mouse Patent Should Be Named "The Surf N' Jerk"

Microsoft continues their quest to bring Minority Report to life with a recently published patent for a wearable mouse from 2006. Now you too can wave your hands around like Tom Cruise—jumping optional—to control the cursor on your computer screen. The mouse is placed around the palm and activated by making a fist. The cursor moves based on a gyroscope inside which tracks the X and Y coordinates of your hand, much like a Wiimote. The handheld style opens our eyes to some interesting possibilities. More »

Asus Eee PC Surf 2G Now Shipping from Newegg in a Rainbow of Colors

The Asus Eee PC 2G Surf launched on Friday alongside its bigger bro, the 8G, and today it's shipping from Newegg. It only has half of the good stuff like storage and RAM, but it's available in a handful of pastel Skittles colors with not-so-masculine names like sky blue, lush green and blush pink. We're also not so sure the $100 price chop on the standard model is worth the spec slash and soldered-on RAM, but let your conscience be your guide. [Newegg]

Asus Eee PC 2G Surf Launches, Eee PC 8G Now Available at Newegg

Speaking of $300 OLPC killers, the SF Chronicle's reporting that the $299 Asus Eee PC 2G Surf has officially launched. It has half the storage space and RAM of the 4G models, plus it's soldered on, so noodling around's dicier. The Fresno school system's already handing out 1,000 of 'em loaded up with Windows and Microsoft programs (!) to students; they picked the Eees 'cause they're tiny and cheap. And, it's an actual OLPC snub. More »

Asus Eee PC 4G Surf Available Now

The Asus Eee 4G Surf drops quite a bit spec-wise compared with the standard Eee PC 4G for the $50 savings. Besides losing the webcam, it's got slower, soldered RAM and a tinier battery. But if you want it anyway, Newegg's got it now. [Newegg]

The Lodown's simple presentation of data with its gray-on-black blocks makes it look pretty stylish, but is it $90 worth of stylish? More »
