I’m not about to download this after my previous Goatse experience, but according to a guy who knows a guy who told my friend who told me, there’s a torrent out there called something like Apple.OS.X.x86.Developer.Kit.Install.DVD-phe*NIX. If you feel like searching for it, go ahead, but I’m not about to point you in the proper…
The world’s smallest MP3 player is now available state-side, but it won’t be sold under the DAH-1500 name as previously mentioned. The original DAH-1500 is being sold outside the US market under the JNC name, and the US version, now dubbed the DAH-1500i, has two very distinct differences: It has WMA DRM, and USB 2.0.…
Howdy everybody, the Gizmodo crew has invited me to post this week on mobile and wireless shiny things. Somebody told them I was “funny,” but I’m not sure they meant that I was ha-ha funny. In any case, I’ll be on the prowl for anything interesting sans wires this week. By way of introduction, I’m…
Fossil is coming out with a line of watches with arcade game themes. This one, inspired by the ultimate in vector graphics, Asteroids, features the hero—a triangle—fighting off the villain and his minions—the squarish blocky things. Remember Asteroids? I think it came out in 1979 and there was a mod you could download via punchcard,…
Pentax dropped two new 6 megapixel cameras today, the Optio S6 and the Optio WPi. Both have 3x optical zoom lens, tracking AF, and a candlelight mode to capture low-light photos with better sensitivity. The Optio S6 is a sliding lens cam with a 2.5″ Beau-Reflective LCD with 232k color depth and a backlight option.…
FYI – John here: My AIM, at the bottom of the page, is no longer superlinuxninja. For some bloody reason I can’t get log-in to AIM using that screen name anymore and it won’t send me password change notifications and it’s making me cry. The new Giz AIM will be johnbiggsny, which is much less…
Sony has released their latest model in the Cyber-shot T-series, the Cyber-shot DSC-T5. It’s available in four eye-catching “autumnal” colors; red, black, silver, and champagne gold (oooh, fancy). As with other T cameras, the DSC-T5 has Carl Zeiss optics with 3x optical zoom, a 2.5″ LCD, 5.1 megapixels, and 32 MB of internal memory, with…
I was in a hallway with two young ladies once. We smiled and chatted and stuff as we walked. In front of their apartment, one of them asked me something that I didn’t understand. It sounded like “Wannakwam mwin”. I said “Sorry?” “Mwahnnakwam mwin?” Not wanting to look like a tard, I just smiled and…
You know, for something like this, I don’t even really have to try and make it sound exciting or whatever. It’s a three-cigar pocket humidor from Porsche called “Robusto”. That one line right there should do the trick for most people. If you’re one of those finicky types who cares about details, then you should…
Nothing goes better with salty kettle cooked chips than a good swig of ice cold ash beer. You know, the kind of beer that comes from a bottle that’s been used by wasted, ignorant and inconsiderate party people as a designated ashtray. You know, the very bottle you were drinking before you had to leave…
So, this has been floating around a bit, but as far as I can tell, has not been featured here, and by golly it should have been. From everyone’s favorite designer, Philippe Stark (or S+arck, if you want to indulge him), come these simple lamps. Not just any simple lamps mind you, but as you…
Quick find… the XBox360 will have a nice little QWERTY keyboard controller. Isn’t that nice? XBox360 Qwerty Control Pad? [GamersReports]
So now, all of a sudden, the Nokia 6682 is gone. This is happening a lot lately and is extremely frustrating: quite obviously someone out there wants one of these or, heck, even these and someone deep with the bowels of said company is playing fiddle the bit with a group of rabid, angry customers.…
The Minox DC 8111 is the latest compact camera to break 8.1 megapixels. Wrapped in a shiny aluminium body, it has a 2.5 inch LCD, 3x optical zoom, and 5.1 digital zoom. Along with automatic settings, it packs an impressive array of manual controls for a compact, such as freely selectable aperture and shutter speeds,…

Sony President Ken Kutaragi seems adamant on hammering us that the Playstation 3 will be expensive. First he says that he wants consumers to work super-hard to get one, and now he says “the PS3 can’t be offered at a price that’s targeted towards households.” Which makes us wonder just who the price is targeted…

So I was at Martha’s cause she just got a new bong and we were talking about H-P and Apple? And listen to this: Apple and H-P aren’t going out because H-P got on top of Apple in Apple’s mom’s car like last Thursday and was all like “I love you” and Apple was so…
Griffin knows how to do it right when it comes to iPod accessories. The iFM is a remote for the iPod, FM tuner and recorder built into a nice aluminum package. Even though I ve been spoiled by the wonders of satellite radio, I ll admit there are times that I m in the mood…
Hey Vaja, if I really wanted to carry my PSP in a purse, I would go raid my mother s closet (not like I do already…) Actually this PSP case looks nice in a colorful Paris Hilton way and seems to be made out of some quality hand-crafted goodness; it features a magnetic flap, two…
