The Sprint Mogul is Here

The Mogul (PPC-6800), HTC and Sprint’s Windows Mobile 6 follow-up to the PPC-6700 we told you about has finally arrived.

Dell, Making Amends, Still Being Tacky About It

For those who may have missed it, our friends over at The Consumerist ran a little story called 22 Confessions of a Former Dell Sales Manager that received over 130,000 hits. Needless to say, it wasn’t the sort of story that makes Dell look like a great company. After demanding the post be removed, Dell…

GeekPark Webcams

These GeekPark figures may look like cheap McDonald’s toys, but they are actually fully functional webcams. Capturing resolutions up to 1280×960 at 30fps, each little person has movable appendages and…well that’s about where the extra functionality starts/stops. Coming in four colors, these $22 webcams just tease us with their useless color identities that in no…

Contraforma Imperial Tiles

The Contraforma Imperial Tiles are modular carpeting, perfect for quick fixes after spills (or cat puke, if you live in my home). While Treehugger frowned upon Contraforma’s use of synthetics/killing whale babies/etc, we’re still digging the prospect of putting our rug together, painting a big picture on it, selling it with the house and then…

Blu-ray Disc Rot?

Over on AVS Forums, a few members are complaining about a problem with copies of The Prestige: disc rot. Those affected seem to believe that the rot is occurring in the disc coating. At the moment, this issue appears to be isolated to one thread and one movie. As far as I’m concerned, that’s good…
