Show it to everyone with an image. Here’s how: https://gizmodo.com/apple-tablet-the-wet-dream-concept-5336204 • Make or find a photo(s) that gives you the proper setting. Optionally, you…

Sadly, Clippy’s life played out much like a True Hollywood Story. Universally loathed, he faked his own death in 2007 only to resurface again in 2009 after a judge ordered a permanent injunction on Microsoft Word sales. https://gizmodo.com/clippy-r-i-p-the-world-wasnt-ready-for-you-235591 With his revenue finally dried up, he could no longer support the massive drug habit he developed…
There is no lower form of photography than the arm-out self-portrait, but we all do it. To their credit, Samsung’s TL220 and TL225 make shooting your Facebook profile shot a little easier. https://gizmodo.com/samsungs-tl220-tl225-touchscreen-shooters-see-double-5336330 Ignoring the screen for a second, the TL22x cameras are a decent get for the price, with 720p video recording, haptic touchscreens…
MSI’s new C-Series laptops start at $550, feature 16 or 17-inch screens, and measure a reasonable 1.18 inches thick. You can read the stats of the entire line of laptops above (click on that image to see a larger pop-out version), but they reach a balance of power to price to size that’s pretty palatable…
A few high level music industry sources are saying that Apple’s next event will be September 7, focused (logically) on music, which means iPods. September is the normal time for new iPods to be released, so the question remains whether it’s going to be a purely iPod and iTunes—including iTunes 9—announcement, or if the Apple…
Speaking as a guy who rarely goes outside, this concept would be very much the same as a regular phone, but it is a neat looking flexible device that doubles as a watch when not in use. It’s by Seungkyun Woo & Junyi Heo, and wraps around your arm in the normal state, soaking up…
Today Eric Wilfrid, GM of Microsoft’s Mac Business Unit announced a Business Edition of Office for Mac, and promised a new version by holiday 2010 that would include a bonafide Outlook for Mac. There was no Office for iPhone news. Yes, when the press conference was called, there was some speculation that we’d hear about…
I never fully believed the Apple tablet was real beyond dreams, until I heard these words over my phone: “Hey, it’s [redacted]. I may or may not have sat in some Apple meetings for the tablet.” https://gizmodo.com/apple-tablet-the-wet-dream-concept-5336204 I was driving, and swerved a little bit, even though both hands were on the wheel. Someone honked…

Vampire refreshment, stylish camera bags, and 1800’s-style root beer – take a break from the heat with the week’s best from Uncrate. This week at Uncrate: We take to the court in the Nike Air Max LeBron VII, give our suds a glass worthy of their taste with Spiegelau Beer Glasses, and keep our fanged…
While snorkeling in the Virgin Islands, I trailed a sea turtle for about 5 minutes I’ll never forget. If only I had a Canon 5D Mark II and scuba gear, used here, I could share that memory with you. In the words of our own Brian Lam, “Put the video in HD and get ready…
I love NYC to bits. But when I see the millions of people shifting in and out Manhattan in a pretty pretty graphic like this, I feel vertigo. And then, when I see the subway statistics, I feel panic: From 8:00AM to 8:59 AM on an average Fall day in 2007 the NYC Subway carried…
The Q700 looks like a nettop, but has a little more balls thanks to a 2.5GHz Pentium Dual-Core E5200. Top specs include a TV tuner, HDMI, 4GB RAM, 1TB hard disk, and Intel GMA X4500 graphics. Prices start from $499. About the size of a DVD player, the compact HTPC sits either horizontally or vertically…
Hey, it may not be a projector, but the 1.5-inch secondary LCD on these 12.2Mp point-and-shoots is pretty unique. Tap it and frame self-portraits, or play animations to capture kid’s attention (and terrorize those with a fear of clowns). https://gizmodo.com/official-specs-and-prices-for-new-nikon-coolpix-line-i-5329376 The cameras have a 4.6x optical zoom, 720p-quality video recording, SDHC support, and have “Smart…
OK, now we get it, Sony. The free Batcave included with Batman: Arkham Asylum will make the digital dryhumping fest infinitely more tolerable…unless Val Kilmer and George Clooney show up. [joystiq]
