NextDimension RVE portable video editing machine packs an LCD on a tower

Apparently that whole “slap an LCD on the side of a tower” thing is going alright for NextComputing. The NextDimension RVE is a bit more humble than the CinematographHD, though it should be able to handle even the most strenuous video editing tasks. Aside from the 17-inch 1,920 x 1,200 resolution panel plastered on the […]

Meizu M8 gets stripped of its shell, dignity

See that Meizu M8 there? See that multitool-equipped hand? Yeah, you know damn well what’s going to happen next, and we think the translated text expresses it best: “Well, the last one of the screws removed, MEIZU M8 has been completely broken up in a heap before us.” The M8’s guts make for some predictably […]

That floor looks mighty familiar, huh? That’s because it is.

OpeniMac offers cut-rate, aesthetically challenged Apple clones direct from Argentina

digg_url = \’http://digg.com/apple/OpeniMac_offers_cut_rate_ugly_Apple_clones\’;
After seeing how well Psystar did with its Open Computer, we think we’ll just build our own Hackintosh rather than jump into this OpeniMac we’ve recently been hepped to. But who knows? Maybe you’ve been dying to send your hard earned money down to some shady Argentinean characters. In that case, this 2.53GHz […]

David Liittschwager: Tide Pool Portraits

To capture, process, and tag images for a recent National Geographic shoot, David Liittschwager took Aperture out to the beach. After all, that’s where the nudibranch hang out. There, Liittschwager tethered his Canon 1Ds Mark II to a shrouded MacBook Pro and used Aperture to make on-the-fly light and focus adjustments as he shot. How […]

The ibiza Rhapsody was one of those curious devices that spent so long in development that by the time it saw the light of day, the rest of the world had moved on to bigger and better things. Sure, we liked the device in theory (WiFi, Bluetooth, and support for Rhapsody and AOL Video are […]

Intel shares its internal netbook and MID definitions

The definitions for netbooks and MIDs, and the distinctions between the two (and regular laptops, for that matter), have always been more than a little nebulous, but it looks like Intel is doing its part to clarify things a bit (for itself, at least), and it’s now sharing its internal definitions for the categories with […]

ASUS Eee PC 1002HA reviewed: looks cool but the battery stinks

Laptop Magazine’s reviewed the ASUS Eee PC 1002HA we’ve been hearing so much about lately, and they’re pretty impressed with what they’re seeing. They gush over its looks, design and slimness, noting the similarity to the more expensive S101, and think the keyboard’s decently comfortable. The reviewer found the 10-inch screen to be pretty cool […]
