Dell Goes Solid State For Two Corporate Laptops

Instead of going half-in half-out with hybrid drives like Samsung, Dell’s going all in and offering solid state drives on two of their laptops.

Philips Intros Four Mice and a Wireless Desktop with an Unusual Feature

Philips rolled out four new mice and a wireless keyboard/mouse desktop combo, and the company touted their clean design, but the only thing that reminded us of cleanliness was the mice’s bar-of-soap-like appearance.

Quick News: Lex Luthor Elated by Discovery of Kryptonite

So it’s not technically kryptonite, but it’s composed of almost the exact same stuff that some writer for the latest movie thought kryptonite should be made out of: Sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide.

Wild-Looking Floor Clock Does the Bouncy Bouncy

This 62-inch-high clock uses a pendulum on a spring to power itself, bouncing up and down and keeping time, just like you used to do when you were dancing The Pogo back in the ’80s, or perhaps making your own kind of postmodern music in the backseat. The minimalist clock has an aluminum face, its…

Bicycle Lift: A Video

In case that gallery we posted yesterday about the bicycle lift in Trondheim Norway wasn’t enough to give you the idea, here’s a video of it. The lift actually moves a lot faster than we thought it would, carrying passengers up this pretty damn steep hill since 1993. So the lift’s more out of necessity…

Fake Falcon Robots Scare the Shit Out of Nuisance Pigeons

The pigeons in Liverpool are getting out of hand. They’re pooping all over the place, getting fat and happy and generally creating a nuisance.

AT&T Wins Over Samsung’s Thinnest HSDPA Cellphones

HSDPA phones don’t get any slimmer than this. Measuring in at a scant 8.9mm thick, the Samsung A727 (shown) might be the thinnest HSDPA-enabled cellphone around. AT&T managed to nab the A727 along with its 12.9mm-thick brother, the A717l. Both phones make Nokia’s 6120 (another slim HSDPA phone) seem like a whopper by comparison. They…
