Acer Aspire X3200 HTPC gets Blu-Ray

October 15th 2008

I continue to love my Acer Aspire X3200 as a wonderfully tiny, low power sipping, extremely affordable all-in-one HTPC solution. There’s something to be said for going out and buying exactly what you need instead of hobbling together a Frankenstein solution from spare parts.
Unfortunately, one of the features missing from the last-gen of [...]

Firefox Mobile almost here

October 7th 2008

I love Firefox but and have always wished I could have it running on my mobile devices.  Sure Opera Mobile is really good but it’s not Firefox.  Mozilla has been working on Firefox Mobile for a very long time, forever it seems, but word is coming out that a real alpha version is just weeks [...]

Most-used Firefox add-ons

Analog Photoshop photo frame by I Love Blocks

October 5th 2008

These cute “photoshop photo frames” are just regular wooden frames silk-screened to look like a window from the OS X version of Adobe’s image editing software, right down to the checkerboard background. They’re going to sell for about $50 in a limited edition of 50. Complain about the price if you want — but it’s [...]

Kindle 2 Leaked

October 4th 2008

Amazon’s follow-up to the Kindle rounds the corners and smooths the keyboard, dropping the “crushed origami hat” look of the original for something that looks (sort of) like it came out of Cupertino.

The spy shots were sent to Boy Genius Report, which says that the refinements, which include USB charging, come at a price: [...]

Hanging notebook hard drive concept wouldn’t work, but one can dream

October 4th 2008

I love this concept spotted by Yanko Designer for an external hard drive enclosure designed to hang off the lids of notebooks.
