Dell’s new E-Series gets first official mention

Filed under: Laptops, Tablet PCs

At this point, there’s very little you don’t know about Dell’s upcoming Latitude E-series of laptops thanks to our Week O’ Dell Scoops. Only the official pricing and launch dates for these DisplayPort, eSATA, and Centrino 2 D-series laptop replacements (and new XT2 Convertible) have eluded us. While we expected the […]

Hello? McFly 2015 Nikes to be resurrected as Nike Hyperdunks

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets

Remember those cool Nike high-tops that Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future? The ones that laced themselves and you wished you had a pair just like them? If so, listen up: Nike is releasing the Marty McFly 2015’s as the Nike Hyperdunks. They won’t lace themselves, unfortunately, but will be […]

Been itching to overclock your Mac Pro? No problem.

Filed under: Desktops

Well what do you know, ZDNet’s German bureau has apparently released a functioning overlocking tool (ZDNet Clock) for Mac Pros and Xserves. Vater Steve doesn’t look kindly upon such things, but with a little luck (and a lot of cooling) you might be able to eke out a few hundred extra MHz from […]

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith gets unboxed, rag-covered mic stand not found

Filed under: Gaming

Well, what do you know? That Guitar Hero axe that was spotted a few months back on How I Met Your Mother was actually a sneak peek of the six string that comes bundled with the new Activision title. The unwavering rockers over at FW Labs were able to secure a copy of […]

Local public school students get assigned Zunes

Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video
The latest edu-gimmick to hit small-town America: Liberty, Missouri’s handing out a hundred and change media players — Zunes, to be specific — to local high school and middle school students for listening to lesson-supporting podcasts in the hopes of saving them “lost class time.” Surely this will raise test […]

Sony Vaio FW and SR series show up on Circuit City

Filed under: Laptops

We’d already heard the Vaio FW and SR series were due in short order, but they’ve since apparently shown up on Circuit City’s site. The pages are down now, but the shots of the 16-inch FW (which looks pretty reminiscent of the old school Vaio Z-series) and 13.3-inch SR are still live, indicating […]

Pleo’s site turns one, little bugger’s price temporarily drops over $100

Filed under: Robots
Although Pleo’s only been out for about six months, UGOBE opened up shop at PleoWorld about a year ago, and to celebrate they’re selling the robo-dino-pets at over $100 off the regular $350 price tag. The promo goes on until July 11th, and apparently all you need to do is pop in a […]

Synchrotech adds slightly better MicroU2E-MV USB ExpressCard adapter

Filed under: Laptops, Peripherals

Not exactly a huge upgrade, but that MicroU2E from last year has been revved to support 1.5v ExpressCards — and with more volts comes more supported devices. It’s still about fifty bones, should you need one for your MacBook (Air) or whatever other ExpressCardless machine you’ve got kicking around.

Cizmo’s CX1730M gaming laptop packs a wallop

Filed under: Laptops

Okay, so maybe Cizmo’s CX1730M is based heavily on Clevo’s M570TU, but it’s still one beast of a machine. This 17-inch monster packs a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, a 160GB SATA hard drive, WSXGA+ panel, a 2-megapixel webcam, dual-layer DVD burner (or optional Blu-ray drive), NVIDIA’s 512MB GeForce […]

Progressive MyRate drive-monitoring device goes national

Filed under: Transportation

Progressive insurance has been testing out the MyRate driving monitoring system for a few years now (it used to be called TripSense), but it’s finally taking the system national, bringing pay-as-you-drive insurance into the mainstream. The little blue box plugs into your car’s ODB II diagnostic port (all cars made after 1996 have […]
