Alienware have released their latest gaming laptop, the m17x, and while it's no ultraportable the specs more than make up for it.

Black Eee PC 900 stars in dead fish photoshoot

, Apr 30th 2008 Discuss [2]

Of all the odd photoshoots with a new gadget, this is probably the first I've seen where a dismembered fish shares frame-time. Still, the owner of this black ASUS Eee PC 900 has done us a favor in confirming that Asustek will be making their 8.9-inch budget ultraportable with at least two of the color options its smaller sibling boasts. Until now, the company has only been showing white versions of the notebook. Read The Full Story

Microsoft COFEE security key sucks criminal data from locked-down PCs

, Apr 29th 2008 Discuss [12]

Microsoft has revealed that, since June 2007, multiple law enforcement agencies have been using a forensic device it has developed that can bypass security on a Windows-powered machine and extract data for use in criminal investigations.  Called COFEE - Computer Online Forensic Evidence Extractor - the gadget is apparently a USB thumb-drive onto which Microsoft have loaded 150 'commands' that can, among other things, decrypt passwords, display internet activity, and uncover all data stored on the computer.  Most importantly, it can do this on-site, rather than an investigator needing to remove a machine during a search or raid and send it to a lab for analysis.

Digitalcube i-station UDIC hands-on

, Apr 29th 2008 Discuss [1]

Digitalcube's i-station UDIC may look like a mini-convertible UMPC, but in actual fact it's an electronic dictionary.  Still, that doesn't really do the handheld device justice: it's a dictionary with 50 languages, as well as text-to-speech, "native speakers" pronunciation guides and the i-TRANS translating service.  Available in two versions, both have hard-drives: one 30GB, the other 60GB.  AVING have been playing with the i-station recently and have made a video of the device in action; check it out after the cut.

Numark TTi USB turntable records direct to iPod

, Apr 29th 2008 Discuss [0]

Numark have released their latest turntable, the TTi, which can not only play your vinyl but record it directly to either a docked iPod or any USB-connected PC or Mac.  The docking station is compatible with the 5th-gen iPod video, iPod Classic and 2nd-gen nano, which seems a bit short-sighted, but even if your iPod is a different version you can still create digital copies of your records via the included EZ Vinyl Converter and Audacity software.  No drivers are needed, which I presume means it shows up as a generic external soundcard.

Those with nickel allergies could get a rash from cellphones

, Apr 29th 2008 Discuss [1]

If you've ever felt a bit itchy after messing with your cellphone or iPod for a while, you might have to face facts that you're a bit allergic to technology. I have a slight nickel allergy, but luckily my ears and hands can handle it. Whereas my neck and wrists will break out in a rash over almost nothing. Well apparently those with a nickel allergy are the ones that need to worry. Read The Full Story

The Overall Health Balance Scale gives a more complex analysis of your weight

, Apr 29th 2008 Discuss [0]

At some point scales just become way too complicated and give entirely too much information. I mean really, I am well aware that I am scrawny yet out of shape. I don't need a machine to tell me exactly how much fat I have down to the last millimeter (yes it actually does that). Read The Full Story

The Idea of a Clock II says too much

, Apr 29th 2008 Discuss [1]

First I write up an entirely too complicated scale and now there is the way too wordy clock. Frankly I like to glance at the clock and know the time. Of course I say that and I own a pretty clock that I have to stare at for a few minutes before I can see where the hands are pointed. Read The Full Story

Electricity-measuring surge protector

, Apr 29th 2008 Discuss [0]

Could this be the most complicated power strip yet? The snappily-titled Power Cost Controller Power Strip is intended to not only replace your current surge protector but also replace your energy-squandering ways thanks to a big dose of electric-reality. Consumption and cost are both displayed on the LCD display, measured in kilowatt-hours so you can directly compare with your energy provider's prices. Read The Full Story
