The AP has a review of the latest Scientific-Atlanta DVR, the Explorer 8300, available in some Time Warner Cable areas. The two-tuner unit’s most unique feature is probably its ability to steam content back over the in-house cable network to up to three other set-top boxes.

Evincing the fondest memories of KIT from Knight Rider, the TS100 from Cyber Punk is an LED watch featuring a mirrored face and several different scrolling effects on its LED grid.

Tulip E-Go, “Lifestyle” Laptop

We know jack crap about these specification-wise, but a company called “Tulip Distribution” has announced the world’s first “lifestyle” notebook called the “Tulip E-Go.” When I received the e-mail regarding this announcement, I was rather inquisitive as to exactly what “lifestyle” meant for notebooks. So I opened the website, and what did I find? A…
