Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D

Minolta announced the new Maxxum 5D digital SLR camera. The 5D is a lighter version of their Maxxum 7D camera. What this means for the end user is that Nikon s D50 and Canon s 350D will have a little more competition, hopefully pushing prices down. Anti-shake stabilizer, 6 megapixel CCD, 2.5 LCD and a…

Barcode Clock

Just my style; simple, yet unique. It is kind of neat how it works though. The numbers 1 through 12 are displayed at the bottom with a red LED appearing above the number for the hour. The square window shows the minute in green. This clock is available for $35 from the Signals website. Nothing…

Alright, internet friends. This is probably all I’ve got left in me today (and hence, forever). Here are the posts from the last couple of years that you told me you enjoyed the most. I really had a great time running this site and got to do a lot of things I’d always wanted to…

Macworld Coverage: Thursday – The End

BOSTON—Two men are standing in front of the Hynes Convention Center with 16-inch flat screen televisions hanging about a foot over their heads. This is a curious sight. One of them, buckling under the weight, stumbles over to me and hands me a coaster-sized piece of paper, with a picture of the RIMAGE 360i printer…

Pee Goal

The Pee Goal includes a nice pitch, a goal, and a ball on a string. You use your penis to push the ball into the goal, apparently. Oh wait. Just re-read it. You use your URINE STREAM to push the ball into the goal. It’s about $20 in England, and I suspect you can take…

Samsung YP-F1Z Available

Best Buy is selling the coveted Samsung YP-F1Z, a so-sexy 1GB flash player. I like Samsung styling, so I’m going to say this is a good thing, even though I’m so tired of flash players. Hard drives are small enough now that we should be using them in everything, but go ahead, Samsung any everyone,…

Zalman Reserator Pump Rattle Won’t “Last Indefinitely”

Since I’m about to blow this popsicle stand, I think I’m going to make a fussy post. I bought the Zalman Reserator 1 water cooling rig—the great big blue phallus of computing—and it’s sort of awesome, except the impeller inside the pump started making a rattle after about a month of operation. Supposedly, the new…

EBay Deal of the Day: ‘Spensive Verizon CDMA RAZR

I don’t know, guys. Do what you want with your money, but this is a little freaky. Someone posted a CDMA RAZR on eBay for $1,199.00 which is about $1,100 more than I would spend for this phone. Sure, he writes a 10 page explanation as to where he got this thing, but the seller…
