See those shots right there. The guys at Techwarelabs claim they’re “spy shots” of Intel’s first quad-core notebook. They’re not the most flattering shots around, but if the pics don’t do it for you, maybe the specs will.

Looks-wise, the Type 02 isn’t the kind of robot you’d wanna bump into in a dark alley. Yet despite its black, Grim Reaper-like profile, the Type 02 isn’t a Terminator in disguise.
No, this baby was created for the Tamanoi Vinegar Corporation to give presentations on, yep, vinegar. The robot stands 6 feet tall, and is 220 pounds. It’s first job will be to entertain guests at Tamanoi’s “Cyber Trip” amusement theater, which sits in the company’s offices. You can check out the robot’s action in a video clip (and gallery) after the jump.
It may be the end of the work week for most of us, but the elves at Dell are still churning out products. Their latest is a Latitude Convertible Tablet PC, the company’s first Tablet. Senior Vice President and General Manager of Dell’s Business Product Group, Jeff Clarke, is seen cradling the newborn in a video posted on the company blog.
Here’s what we know so far, plus the vid. (Never mind the shirt)
On my recent visits to see the latest TVs, I started to get the sneaking suspicion that the interfaces were getting more user friendly. I mean, that isn’t hard: TVs have notoriously bad interfaces, and unless you are Brian Lam or a member of the AVS Forum, you might have a hard time calibrating your TV to exacting specifications. Do I have evidence from Sony, Philips, Mitsubishi and others that they are in fact responding to these silent cries for help? You bet.
We’re a month or so from iPhone, and phone nuts talk about the LG Prada as being one of its main competitors. Another one of those “iPhone-Killers” every phone company is pushing. But I just got an LG Prada, and based on my hands on time with that and my session with the iPhone back at Macworld (not the papercraft in the photo), I can say it’s a great phone, but it’s also no contest.

This power strip has surge protection, noise filtering and a microprocessor capable of turning off all the peripheral devices when the main device is turned off. So, when you turn off your PC, it can shut down your speakers, printer and other extras, too. It is available for $35, which isn’t too bad for a quality surge protector that’s smarter than average. –Travis Hudson

For some reason Amazon has some pretty great deals on both old and new MacBooks. We can see giving instant discounts and $75 mail-in rebates on the old models (which lowers prices by up to $200+ on some) since the refresh just upped the specs, but new ones? That’s weird.
If you want a super new one, you can get a $100 mail-in rebate if you order now. That brings the price down to $994, which coupled with free shipping and no tax, means this is an even sweeter deal than you may think. – Jason Chen

The BlueQ is simple device: a wearable Bluetooth wristband that vibrates when your phone gets a call, letting you place your phone into your pocket, bag, or briefcase without fear of missing anything.
Why is it useful? Because even if you do keep your phone in your pants on vibrate, most of the time it’s still loud and annoying. Or, your phone can even be the opposite and vibrate too softly for you to feel it.
We got our hands on the BlueQ wristband and can safely say they do everything it claims to, but it’ll make you look like a dork in the process. Well, more so than you are now.

Ahh, Friday. Got to love them, and it is time for my weekly post relating to something or anything beer related (in preparation for the weekend, of course). This week we have a plasma beer mug. It has hollow walls for the plasma gases. The hollow gassed wall get bright and excited upon placing on the charging cradle. You can even direct the plasma around the glass with your fingers. It is available for $25 and will surely take all of the attention away from you at your next gathering. –Travis Hudson

An internship job listing over at Danger, Inc. spills the beans about what could be some future GPS integration into Danger’s devices—namely, the Sidekicks. Whether that means it’s going to be in Sidekick 4′s featureset or as a separate add-on for Sidekick 3′s, we’re still unsure. What we are sure of is that tons of pretty ladies will show up at its unveiling.
For those of you who are interested, the applicable part of the listing is:
