MacBook Air “a pleasure to use”
March 16, 2008
Phil Baker (sandiegotranscript.com) calls MacBook Air “the sleekest, thinnest and most beautiful notebook ever.” He admires its construction: “Fit, finish, and workmanship are superb,” he states. “Whether sitting back in a lounge chair outdoors or at a desk indoors, the brilliant, sharp and high contrast screen has no equal in brightness or readability.

Future Clothing Shows Video
March 15, 2008
Back at CES 2008 earlier this year, I saw IBM folks lugging around display panels on their shirts in a marketing effort to capture the attention and imagination of people around. While it was interesting to look at, the fact remains that such a setup must be extremely tiring and unwieldy to the user. Perhaps a few years down the road we will be able to see clothes that are capable of showing a video, thanks to Philip’s ‘photonic textile’ that comprises of thin… Continue reading

Rock it out at home with Nyko’s latest wireless guitar controller which is meant for the Xbox 360, although the box that the product ships in carries a “X 360″ tag instead.

Live Apple TV Recording To Come?
March 14, 2008
Apple could actually have long term plans for their Apple TV set-top box, throwing in additional functionality so that it may transform into a full fledged digital video recording if these new filings with the US Patent and Trademark Office are anything to go by. The filings advocate a very special interface for the Apple Television, with the ability to browse and record live Television programming apart from downloading movies and TV shows sold through iTunes. I wonder if TiVo executives have… Continue reading
Tactical Biomass Refineries Head To Iraq
March 14, 2008
Tactical biomass refineries is just a fancy name to describe a device that turns trash into electricity. A ton of trash offers up to 20 hours of power which is more than enough to light up a small village. This sounds interesting, but will transporting these 4-ton behemoths to Iraq actually result in a larger carbon footprint in total?
The novel machines were built by defense contractors and Purdue University scientists as part of the Army’s push to reduce troops’ diesel fuel use… Continue reading
