Rumor: New MacBook Pros Next Week

It’s rumor time again, and we’d be doing you a disservice if we didn’t tell you about the latest one involving MacBook Pros.

What Bill Gates Was Talking About When He Accidentally Announced RoundTable

Bill Gates’ slip at the D conference was one of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it slips that you probably wouldn’t even notice if you weren’t vaguely familiar with the product. His gaffe? The unintentional announcement of “RoundTable,” a research project we’ve been hearing about back in early 2006 when it was still called Ringcam. https://gizmodo.com/microsoft-ringcam-360-degree-camera-174532 What it is,…

What Really Happened When Steve and Bill Met

You may have seen our live coverage of the meeting of Steve and Bill, but words can’t convey the nuances of a sidelong glance or a gentle brush of the thigh. It was like an old divorced couple, meeting on amiable terms for the first time in years. Watch the video to see what we…

Multi-Port Power Inverter Still Lets You Fire One Up

Plug this Multi-Port Power Inverter into your car’s cigarette lighter, and all of a sudden you have a couple of USB ports and an AC socket at your fingertips. We took a look last week at a similar inverter for the car, but it only had one USB port, plus it takes up that cigarette…

Apple Outlet Rings in Low-priced Macs, iPods

Broke Apple fanboys take note. Apple’s newly launched Outlet has some pretty sweet deals worth checking out. Sure, they’re all refurbished, but you still get a warranty and besides, would you turn down a $1,300 MacBook Pro or a $129 4GB iPod nano? It’s worth checking out if you’re low on cash.

Color Coordinated DS Lite AC Adapters for H&G Nintendo Fanboys

If you’re anything like me, all of your video game accessories must match up perfectly—all my Dreamcast controllers have matching color memory cards, and I gave away a gray Wavebird to complete my set of four platinum ones to go with my platinum ‘Cube.

MPION MP3 Player is Expensive, But Good for Magical Facials

When you get tired of listening to its measly 128MB worth of music, slap this MPION MP3 player up against your face and it’ll give you a nice soothing facial. Get your mind out of the gutter, not that kind of facial. Its negative ion generator is said to magically clean all that gunk out…

ABC.com’s HD Streaming Not So HD After All

A few weeks ago, ABC.com announced that it’d deliver some of its popular shows in high-def online. Well, as it turns out the content won’t be that HD after all. ABC.com will rely on a codec from On2 Technologies to deliver 720p content at 25fps at a bitrate ranging from 850 kilobits per second to…

Samsung’s SCH-C220 Cellphone, Tiny as an Abbreviated Miniskirt

Certain that dozens of different cellphones weren’t quite enough for its bloated line, Samsung rolled out yet another one today, and this SCH-C220 is cute enough to call it the Anycall Miniskirt. Attempting to imitate the thin, well-heeled chicks at whom it’s aimed, its 10.9mm thin silhouette is unusually svelte, especially for a slider. It’s…
