12:20AM Danny Allen | The updated Area-51 case design includes an eye-catching louvre cooling system (those wings at the top), internal lighting and a motorised front door. And Alienware says the top-end ALX version of the liquid-cooled rig is the “most powerful” it’s created. More »

Aurora LED Pool Table Is the Ultimate Tasteless Bachelor Pad Furniture
8:33AM Jesus Diaz | I know. LED-illuminated pool table. You don’t really need much more information to justify the $US700 that you are going to spend on it. Each pocket illuminates with blue LEDs. That’s it. Done. Here’s my credit card. But in case you need more, the six-feet pool table converts into a card playing table and a “dining table”. More »

Aurora Feint iPhone Game Is Back Sans Security Concerns
6:40AM Jason Chen | Aurora Feint, the iPhone game that was de-listed because of security concerns, has made it back onto the App Store. So what did the developers do? They ripped out the contact list integration entirely, opting for a more Nintendo friend code-like system that they will introduce in the near future.

Aurora Feint iPhone App Delisted For Lousy Security Practices
11:22AM Jason Chen | Remember that Aurora Feint Puzzle/RPG game that we told you we liked? Turns out we don’t like it anymore. In fact, we’re actually pretty damn scared of this app, seeing as Apple de-listed them from the App Store due to privacy and security issues.

BlackBerry ‘Seawolf’ 9110 Clamshell for AT&T and ‘Aurora’ Mystery Phone Surface

The model number indicates it’s a version of the Kickstart with GPS for another carrier, most probably AT&T. The mystery phone is the Aurora, which is in the same series as the touchscreen Thunder, but with an indicator of SureType keyboard like the Pearl—BGR suspects it might be an R&D fossil we’ll never see. Still, looks like the Kickstart won’t stay T-Mo exclusive for very long (if at all). Check out the revealing code over there: [BGR] More »

Alienware’s Updated Aurora Gaming Desktop Starts at US$999
10:30AM Sean Fallon | Alienware has injected life into the Aurora line with a new gaming rig fitted with quad-core AMD Phenom 9850 processors, your choice of ATI Radeon 3870 X2, HD3850, or HD3870 graphics cards (single or CrossFire configuration), up to 4GB Dual Channel DDR2, and tons of HDD space. Naturally, tricking this thing out with all of the higher-end options is going to make the price ridiculous in a hurry, but a US$999 base is about as good as it will get for an Alienware.
