11:40PM jenneth | Although we said AMD would make the Q4 2007 ship dates of Phenom chips, the ‘07 shipments are not going to be “substantial,” says AMD’s honcho. Better luck in 2008! [Reg Hardware] More »
Buffalo 56GB Solid State Portable Drive
11:17PM jenneth | Buffalo is taking the gloves off the solid state market, releasing a portable drive (just 57×89x14mm) that’s up to a very palatable 56GB in size. Resistant to shock and ready to tumble, Buffalo’s newest iteration puts solid state into slap-fight range of smaller portable drives. Of course, at $828 the pleasure will run you almost $15 per gigabyte. So at this point, it’s Rambo tech only, yuppies. You kick it on Wall Street not the street. [buffalo via akihabara] More »
Logitech Rools Out Tiny VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse
10:54PM jenneth | Logitech just rolled out its VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse, especially designed for notebooks but still using that hyperfast scroll wheel that Blam liked so much in its big brother, the MX Revolution. Its most remarkable feature is its improbably small USB receiver, the tiniest yet conceived. How small is it? Insert the receiver into a USB port, and all you can see is a tiny nub sticking out. We’re just wondering how they ever crammed all that 2.4GHz circuitry inside. Neat. And how fast is that scroll wheel, anyway? See the video and another pic after the jump. More »
Roller Printer Kind of Rocks, Makes Good Excuse for Age Poll
9:59PM jenneth | Someone just got his hands on his fav 3D program and produced this concept for a modern Roller Paper Printer, which allows you to print at any length if you still have a copy of Broderbund’s Print Shop around. You can see how it is supposed to work after the jump but suddenly I don’t care: I just realized I can remember Print Shop dot-matrix banners. I feel old now. More »
+336+ Mirror Displays Your SMS Alongside Your Utter Sad-Sackness
9:27PM jenneth | This is the +336+ Mirror. More than just a concept (maaan) it is an idea-made-flesh for those 20 people in the world stupid enough – and rich enough – to shell out $10,000 for a looking-glass that can display text messages sent from a cell phone. So either this is the least mobile mobile phone (albeit one without the ability to make and receive calls) ever or this is a bathroom accoutrement that I. Just. Don’t. Get. The point of. More »
Rifle Prop for Remote Turns You into Buffalo Wii-ll
8:54PM jenneth | The just released Wii-Blaster, a lock-&-load rifle prop, made me breathe a little faster wanting to play Call of Duty with it – until I remembered my Wii sensor bar was bust and I’d been too lazy to get a replacement. I think it’s sexier than the Wii Zapper, but then I’ve always been a sucker for long-barrelled weapons (or something). galleryPost('wiirifle', 4, 'wiirifle'); More »
Microsoft Confirms Second-Gen Zune by Christmas, Sketchy on Details

7:40PM jenneth | Some people may think that their child’s privacy is too precious, but other’s don’t give a damn. Here’s Chad the dad and Trey the bay-bay giving an iPhone masterclass. He’s good. See how he flicks through his dad’s photos with insouciant ease after the jump. More »
iPhone’s Security Breached Loading Web Page, Complete Control Over Data and Calls
6:07PM jenneth | Right after the first Hello World app, the New York Times is now reporting that security firm Independent Security Evaluators has discovered the first flaw in iPhone’s security, taking “complete control” over all data and call capabilities by using a simple Web page, apparently just loading it and without any user intervention whatsoever. Video demonstration after the jump. More »
Keep Your Digits Warm While Having a Smoko
11:50AM jenneth | Every now and then you come across a gadget that’s simple yet so incredibly practical that you kick yourself for not coming up with the idea yourself. Like the Smoking Mittens. They’re your everyday run-of-the-mill gloves, but with a hole strategically placed between your index and middle finger for holding a ciggie. Perfect for the weekend when you’re forced to smoke outside the pub along with the other nicotine-dependent social pariahs. More »
