Aussie pub Current is reporting that the Eee PC will soon morph into a “non-clamshell touchscreen-only device,” with an unveiling as soon as June 3 at Computex.

FCC Planning New Spectrum Auction With Free Broadband for All

It looks like the FCC is taking up Congresswoman Anna Eshoo’s dopey scheme to deliver internet to the masses with another spectrum auction that would require the winner to offer free broadband to half of the US within four years, and 95 percent sometime after that. A nearly impossible task, on top of being silly…

It looks like all those extra buttons and cymbals in Guitar Hero: World Tour that will make it better than Rock Band (cause more buttons = more better) don’t come cheap. Gamestop is listing the bundle at $189.99 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 ($179 for PS2), $20 more than Rock Band’s $169.99 retail price.…

Leaked Palm Treo 850 Specs: Hurray for Wi-Fi

Fresh off those leaked spy shots of Palm’s Treo 850 is some more espionage in the form of meaty specs. This source is unproven (and the info comes from a “friend who works at Palm”) so don’t take these as hard rumors, yet. The big whoop is Wi-Fi for the first time, while the other…

HTC TyTN II Gets Windows Mobile 6.1 Update, AT&T Tilt Soon

HTC’s TyTN II, the Euro/whitebox version of AT&T’s Tilt, just officially got updated to Windows Mobile 6.1. While you could put the update on a Tilt if you were seriously jonesing for WinMo 6.1, it would wipe out all the AT&T stuff and give you a regular HTC phone. Besides, it’ll start rolling out to…

Scientist Creates Cold Fusion For the First Time In Decades

Cold fusion, the act of producing a nuclear reaction at room temperature, has long been relegated to science fiction after researchers were unable to recreate the experiment that first “discovered” the phenomenon.

Apple Receives 188 Mysterious Cargo Containers: 3G iPhones, New MacBooks or the Finest Colombian Snow?

I think that the obsessive drive to be omnisciently aware of everything Apple is plotting has officially gone from a little crazy to completely silly.

Leather Manila Macbook Air Sleeve Resurrects Old Joke In Style

Though nothing quite says “I have the thinnest computer in the world” like a manila envelope, the tan paper sleeve doesn’t add much in terms of protection… or ostentatiousness. Perhaps it’s time to upgrade to this leather version, which will keep your Macbook Air snug and (supposedly) safe while still giving a knowing wink to…

Cheap Camcorder Showdown: Creative Vado Vs. Flip Ultra (Vado Looks Better, Flip Shoots Better)
