Solid Silver Xbox 360 Faceplate

If solid gold cellphones are part of your everyday out-the-door accesories, then you should have no problem loosening the old snake-skin wallet and pulling out $1,260 bones for a solid gold Xbox 360 faceplate. The plate is made by Christofle, and can be seen in Paris at the Colette boutique. There’s only going to be…

Samsung MV55 Blu-ray Desktop

“Imagine a new world of incredible detail”! The Samsung MagicStation MV55 for the Korean market has a Blu-ray burner built right into the machine. Other than that, well, it’s pretty much a standard desktop computer. The MV55 has a 3.2GHz Pentium D940, a GeForce 7600GT and a bunch of nifty card-reader and USB ports in…

EcoModo – The Best of Treehugger

This week at TreeHugger: We watch as the world’s first AA battery-powered airplane takes flight and soars…400 meters. The Wright brothers have nothing on these guys. Here’s another one of those ideas that just makes sense: a solar-powered, Bluetooth-enabled GPS receiver. Sometime this week, the self-proclaimed “Bullet on Wheels” will be shooting for the world…

Comment Logins May Be Wonky

We’re getting reports of some trouble with the comment logins. It’s working for some people but not others, so if yours is giving you trouble, just chillax for now. You’ll have plenty of time to tell us how much the new design is bugging out soon enough.

DS Lite Screen Stress Test

The folks at NRQ Productions went down to Wal-Mart and did a “stress test” on the DS Lite LCD. We don’t advocate doing this, since breaking the display unit is kind of a dick-ish thing to do, but luckily for them (and Wal-Mart) the DS Lite passed with flying colors. Peep the video to see…

Self-Destruct Button USB Hub

This. Is. Awesome. The Self Destruction Button USB hub comes with four ports in the back for all your USB-connectivity goodness, but the main draw comes from all the stuff on top. There’s two flickable switches, a turnable key, and a protected self-destruct button! Unfortunately, all that happens when you press the button is a…

Microwave, iPod Dock: A Match Made in Heaven

Those folks at Target really know what the people want. They are offering up a combination Emerson .7 cubic foot microwave and a bonus iPod Table Radio. Who wouldn’t want something like this.

Dell’s XPS M2010 Media Center Remote Is Pretty Neat

The one feature of that huge Dell XPS M2010 LapDeskTop that hasn’t been talked about is the Media Center Edition remote that ships with it. Instead of RF, IR or WiFi, this remote uses wireless USB that connects to connect with the M2010. Using wUSB, the remote is capable of two way communication and can…

Heat Battle: Dell Latitude vs. MacBook

This just in: laptops can get pretty damn hot. Brian Krische wanted to know just how hot, so he decided to run a little test. He pitted a 1.83GHz Core Duo MacBook (left) against a 1.83GHz Core Duo Dell Latitude D620 (right). Brian ran The Hills Have Eyes—not the best movie choice, in my opinion—in…

Making Your AirPort Card, Nintendo DS Love Each Other

Believe it or not, some folks don’t actually have a wireless network set up in their household. No Wi-Fi network can be a real buzzkill for DS owners. Luckily the folks at Mac OS X Hints have written up a semi-complicated method to get a little Wi-Fi connection using an AirPort card. Basically you need…

The Meazura “Rugged Digital Assistant” conforms to IP67 standards so it’s dust and water resistant. The PDA RDA also has a MZIO slot that fits CompactFlash cards. We can see this…

Apple Wants iPod Integration in More Autos

Just when you thought the iPod couldn’t get any bigger. Bob Borchers, the senior director of iPod worldwide product marketing, recently told CNET UK’s Crave that Apple wants more consumers using iPod-enabled automobiles rather than the plethora of third-party accessories. Borchers also said that Apple has no interest in producing their own car stereo, but…

That Blu-rayin’ is Hard, Sez Microsoft

Now we hear from our beloved basement-dwelling brothers at Kotaku that Microsoft spokespeople are saying that Blu-ray discs are apparently “hard to make.” There’s an extra layer of copy protection on Blu-ray discs, called BD+, and that makes the manufacturing of those disks a whole lot more complicated. In a recent podcast, a couple of…

Tuning Fork

Actions Speak Louder Than HDTV by Brian L. Clark Often, the best advice is not what someone says but rather, what someone does.

Well I thought it would be interesting to see…

Language Line Phone: Face-to-Face Interpreter

No, there’s no practical real-time electronic interpreter yet, but until that day comes, the Language Line Phone can still get the job done by connecting to Language Line Services, a company with human interpreters standing by. The Language…
