, Mar 20th 2007 Discuss [2]

Another manufacturer has tossed their hat into the solid-state disk ring. Attorn BV has recently announced their upcoming SSD drive dubbed the HyperDrive4. The performance of this new drive is just incredible. It touts a hefty 126MBs/s with a single drive. Bump it up to 4 in a RAID 0, and you'll be able to see speeds up to 400MBs/s. Read The Full Story

, Mar 20th 2007 Discuss [0]

With the growing number of solid-state drives being introduced, it's only natural to start seeing them show up in laptops. Fujitsu is jumping on the SSD bandwagon. Expect to see 16GB and 32GB drives in the LifeBook P1610 and B6210. Granted, they are small in capacity, but they are currently targeting industrial users, which will no doubt take advantage of the increased durability of the flash-based drives. Read The Full Story

Dance Dance Revolution – finger edition

, Mar 20th 2007 Discuss [0]

I never really understood the Dance Dance Revolution craze. That probably has something to do with the fact that I look like a drunken idiot if I even attempt to dance. That, or I'm a natural-born Guitar Hero, and you don't really dance when you're rocking out. For those of you that still can't get enough of DDR, here's a little something for you. Everyone has that little bit of downtime at work (though we'll never admit that to our bosses). If you're just itching for something to do, and you need your DDR fix, just plug in the USB Finger Dance Mat and you're good to go. Read The Full Story

The Gotta Go Briefcase

, Mar 20th 2007 Discuss [0]

No one will ever need Depends again! When you have to go, just grab your Gotta Go Briefcase from the Niban Too Corp of Japan. The great part is, I’m actually not kidding, as far as I can tell this is actually real. Apparently two Japanese corporate masterminds decided to create this for better time efficiency. As you can tell from glancing at the picture it’s toilet within a briefcase. It even has a spot for your t.p. and room for some newspaper and other important reading materials. I dug back as far as I could looking for a punch line with this invention and found the original article in American Inventor Spot. I read through all kinds of stuff and they are actually serious about this. Read The Full Story

Search the net with K-Fed

, Mar 20th 2007 Discuss [0]

It’s a sad day when K-Fed creates his own friggin search engine. The real kicker is that Yahoo is actually the one backing it. What respect I had for Yahoo is now out the window. He went all out on this one too, he even did a few glamour shots as opposed to the usual pictures of him that let all of his white trash colors shine through. He’s even giving away 10 tickets to his Birthday party in Las Vegas; you are entered to win every time you use the search engine. Read The Full Story

Thomson save us from pirates

, Mar 19th 2007 Discuss [0]

It's something of a moist relief that manufacturers are helping broadcasters to save me from myself.  Every day of my miserable life I'm but a step away from accidentally pirating something recorded on my PVR, and unintentionally damaging the trusting, loyal relationship I have with the people who supply me with endless reality TV and formulaic comedy docu-drama.  Thank the lucky stars for Thomson and their NexGuard fingerprinting and encryption technology, which can embed a unique code that includes the serial number of your set-top box into anything you record from it.  That way, should you inadvertently produce several thousand copies of, say, Desperate Housewives for your own, personal use, you can be tracked down and roughly flogged.

I'm a big fan of case mods. I've done a few in my day, and will hopefully have more time to dedicate to such projects. So when something really cool comes along, I feel the need to pass it on to you. Read The Full Story
