alaris 3D printer:


Liquavista tech market ready. I think this is about 8 years too late. If it happened when mobile phones were still mostly two-tone, I'm sure the two techs would have grown together and pushed each other further than individually possible. See a tech demo and design your own here

NEC autostereoscopy? 3D sans glasses:

Plywood laptop case. Really doesn't seem that useful

Atomic Pen.

Casio digital camera. Does 1000 frames per second!

I feel this way about any and every tool that must show off their iPhone

Sleek portable Blu-Ray burner for Macs. . If you want to take out a couple of hours to burn a Blu-Ray, then yeah, go ahead.

Now this looks Fisher-Price!

Lacie's network drives. Sweet design.









keyboard eavesdropping | custom liquid cooled cases. Run you up a couple of grand tho... | Microsoft versioning. If Windows 4.90.3000 were a person, I'd stab them in the eye. F#ck i hate Windows ME! | iFixit take apart new MacBooks and MacBook Pros | Apple's notebook unveiling roundup | Bandai Peri Peri keychain. Yeah, I have no idea why either. | Dancing robot |

Games I might enjoy on PS3:
Uncharted, MGS4, Bioshock, LittleBigPlanet

Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis,
and the rise of the sons of Aryas,
there was an age undreamed of.
And unto this, Conan,
destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow.
It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga.
Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!
boom-boom-b-boom-boom!...
