, Nov 24th 2010 Discuss [2]

So you’d like some deals, yes? I’d like some deals, we’d ALL like some deals. But do you want to go out into the streets and risk getting punched in the face, that’s the real question. Here at SlashGear, we know your pain. We know you want to get a sweet discount on your favorite device, service, or strange product (my favorite), but you want to know if you’re going to have to jump out of bed to do it, or if you’re going to be able to just chill in your Turkey-basted leftovers haze. Therefor the first way we’re separating deals here in The SlashGear Black Friday Deal Guide of Complete Excellence is in two categories: Online and In the Streets.

Original Apple-1 Computer Sells for $210,000 USD in London

, Nov 23rd 2010 Discuss [0]

Today at Christie's auction house in the center of London, that Original Apple-1 (or Apple I) we mentioned 10 days ago sold for just a little under what it was expected to bring in, selling for a total of 133,250 pounds (about $210,000.) It came with a signed sales letter from Steve Jobs (you know who he is) and the original packaging. Christies mentioned in the sale that this computer, when introduced in 1976, was the only "personal computer" sold with a fully assembled motherboard, meaning the user would only have to purchase a keyboard, power supply, and display separately. Kinda like the beginning, ya know? The Apple I originally sold for $666.66 and was sold for about one year. Read The Full Story

Revo-Round is a start-up company that has a great idea. They want to create a round computer, featuring a round display, and a round body.

The company, headed by Professor Zhou Hongan, just received $69 million in funds from a Silicon Valley investor to make the round computer a real thing. But, interestingly enough, this new style of computer actually serves a purpose: reverse evolution. Read The Full Story
