Safari – The First Step is Admitting You Have a Problem

I got a bit angry at Safari a few days ago, I’ll admit that, but it was warranted. I’ve installed SafariStand, which is kind of a “crash protection” thing for Safari, and I’m back to using her on a daily basis. So far so good. However, it’s good to see that some folks are checking…

Logitech Cordless S 510 Media Remote

Logitech is pumping out a new keyboard/mouse combo every minute, it seems. By far the most mind boggling feature about this peripheral combo is the fact it has a remote—it’s like a peripheral for peripherals. It’s so M.C. Escher. This combo, named the S 510 Media Remote, has some nice advanced media features: image rotation,…

More news on the 2005 iBook Riot, held today at the Richmond International Raceway. A new video shows trampling inside the building.

Oil-Cooled PC

I think the coolest thing about this page is that in German an Oilcomputer is an lrechner, which sounds very Checkpoint Charlie spy mission. “Sir! The lrechner is ready! We must attack!” The creator of the lrechner, Markus Leonhardt, basically dunked his entire PC into a fish tank of grease. It keeps the entire thing…

Sky IM8500 – Slim and Sassy

The Sky IM8500, which is probably going to be Korean-only, is a crazy looking 2-megapixel cameraphone with a very unique and never-before-seen design feature: a center scroll wheel. I wonder where they got that idea from? Perhaps it was from the mythical one-eyed Cyclops or from Earth’s orbit around the sun. Interesting. Otherwise, not much…
