Woah, a netbook from Hercules? They’re better known for game controllers and multimedia peripherals, but the 10.1-inch (1024×600) EC-1000W seems a decent first effort. Usual netbook specs aside, it comes with 802.11n Wi-Fi and 50GB of online storage. More »

HERCULES Laser is Most Intense Laser in the Universe, Almost as Powerful as the Death Star

6:00AM February 18, 2008 | Haroon Malik

“If you could hold a giant magnifying glass in space and focus all the sunlight shining toward Earth onto one grain of sand, that concentrated ray would approach the intensity of a new laser beam made in a University of Michigan laboratory.” – Physorg

If that doesn’t amaze you, you need a slap. The HERCULES laser can produce that intensity instantaneously, and it is said to be the most intense known light in the universe.

Hercules i-XPS 120 Outdoor iPod Speaker Dock Resists Water, Urine

11:10AM October 29, 2007 | Gizmodo US Edition

I’m not sure why every product made for the iPod has to start with a small “i”. Anyway, Hercules has a new outdoor speaker for your iPod coming soon called the i-XPS 120. The cool part is that this particular speaker is designed for the outdoors and is waterproof. So waterproof, in fact, that the test unit Hercules sent me came with a watering can just to test this out. More »

Hercules Wireless MP3 Mixer will Rock the BBQ

10:01PM May 3, 2007 | Seamus Byrne

Yo Yo Yo! DJ Chicken Wings here, and this is my buddy MC Spare Ribs (although we also answer to Marvin and Ernesto). Bringing you the sounds of the BBQ, flickin’ the switch while we flip the burgers. Yes Ma’am, be with you RIGHT IN AN INSTANT. Ernesto! Go serve the lady while I talk about this new wireless mixing controller from Hercules. It’s got two channels so you can mix Pussycat Dolls with Linkin Park (Chicken Wings is Fi-eerrce, comprenday?) and even do some basic scratching with the two jog wheels.

When I scratch, that’s when Mr Lightbody, our Manager, gets down on the Dickeys lino and, like, throws some crazy moves. And if he hasn’t ruptured something, I press one of the FX buttons to, like, give him A to the P to the LAWS. Is that how you spell it, Mr Lightbody? I’m not sure how the thing works as I didn’t bother with Computer Studies at school, I was more into Home Economics, see, but Mr Lightbody knows EVERYTHING. He’s gonna hit you after the jump with all the tech stuff. Okay, gotta run, Ernesto’s doing something with his boogers and that lady’s ribs.
