Black Eee PC 901 looks good, just not $650 good

Posted by sickofgadgets.com

There you have it, ASUS’ Amos ‘n Andy companion to the Martin ‘n Lewis Eee PC 901. The 8.9-inch Atom-based lappie show no signs of the rumored Bluetooth or anything else unusual that we can see. Black is certainly predictable as a continuation of the original Eee PC 700-series color scheme. It’s certainly not as [...]

Candy bars, flips, bricks, diamonds - phones come in a myriad of monikers but a common denominator are their form factors. For the most part they’re designed to be pocketable. You can throw all those expectations out the window because designer Tamer Koseli wants no part of it. His Super Phone is probably the longest [...]

I’ve been passively looking for a cheap digital video camera for posting the occasional YouTube video. The JVC Everio S Series I wrote about yesterday is tempting, but I think it’s a bit too large to carry around on a daily basis, and I’d prefer something a bit cheaper. The Flip camcorders have also been [...]

Well here’s a real pick me up. I can’t think of a better way to put a smile on your face than by wearing a watch that continually reminds you how much time you have left on Earth. The concept ‘watch’ was created by Timex and is actually more like a patch you wear on [...]

Filed under fashion | No Comments

I’m not sure if having speakers be encased in lovely wooden balls helps their sound quality out at all, but that’s probably not the point. These speakers, the Sound e-Motion M100-20 BFs, look downright awesome. And while yes, the shape supposedly “minimizes baffle distortions” and offers “polar sound distribution,” at the end of the day [...]

Filed under off topic | No Comments

Nothing says “people are home” like a window with the flickering light of a TV coming out of it. I mean, if I was a thief I certainly wouldn’t try to break into a house that looked like it had people plopped on the couch inside it. I’d just move on to the next dark [...]

While most of the world has settled on either a standard mouse or a touchpad, there are still plenty of designers trying to reinvent the wheel. Personally I prefer the old IBM style pointing stick on my laptop over the more common touchpad, but there are other ways to move your cursor when you don’t [...]

If there’s one thing that could put a stop to terrorism once and for all, it’s this DAP. Nothing strikes fear into the heart of an anti-American jihadist like this hideous MP3 player loaded up with Deerhoof b-sides and the entire Duran Duran back-catalog.
