The 24-carat gold MacBook Pro, with diamond studded Apple logo
Filed under: Laptops
For Apple owners, there's one consistent event that can make their shiny new device seem dull and boring: the replacement of their specific device with a new one from Apple. Now there's a new Apple gadget on the block that literally makes every other Apple device look dull. A company called Computer Choppers has put together a Gold-plated MacBook Pro, with an appropriately diamond studded Apple logo. Should go nicely with your gold plated

Keepin' it real fake, part LXXXVII: "Manhattan" mobile not a T-Mobile Dash
Filed under: Cellphones
Although this "Manhattan" Wide Screen GSM Dual Card Mobile phone doesn't rip-off any logos, it most certainly is more than "inspired" by T-Mobile's Dash. You probably won't want to pick up this $224.99 model, unless you don't mind living without any internet access at all (it doesn't even do GPRS), but if you need a phone that does two SIM cards -- we can't imagine what for -- then you're in luck. Then again, if you live in the US or Canada, you're out of luck again, because a

Backstage: Starbucks’ iTunes Digital Releases and Plus 2 Cards

And no doubt the Apple/Starbucks iTunes deals—the Wi-Fi Music Store and new iTunes cards—are a marketing coup for at least Apple, which now gets…

Software-Update für iPod nano und iPod classic
Apple hat für die Software für die neueste Generation des iPod nano sowie für den iPod classic aktualisert. Version 1.0.2 beschleunigt die Synchronisation mit iTunes, die Navigation auf dem iPod und vor allem die Cover Flow-Darstellung auf dem iPod classic. Auch die häufigen Abstürze in Cover Flow scheinen der Vergangenheit anzugehören. Weiter wurden kleinere Probleme wie die falsche Einsortierung von Compilation-Alben behoben.
Das Update sollte bei der Synchronisation des iPod von iTunes automatisch angeboten werden, falls nicht schafft die Manuelle Suche nach Updates über das iTunes-Menü Abhilfe.

Grasso's new USB flash drives come adorned in wood and diamonds

Regardless of the level of your honesty with us (which we now believe to be lower than expected), you'll want to get your grubby mitts all over these fancy pieces of technology / jewelry. Grasso's cross- and apple-shaped flash drives supposedly transmute the story of Adam & Eve into African mahogany, 18-karat gold, Swarovski crystals, and white diamonds.

Animated WiFi detector shirt keeps you single with signal

Life's great priorities -- human interaction and network access -- seem to exist in perpetual tension, but those of you who know exactly where you stand might want to check out this WiFi-detector shirt, which will simultaneously inform passerby that a WiFi network is nearby and that they probably don't need to speak to you. The detachable detector / display combo runs off three AAA batteries for "hours" -- just long enough for you to alienate the locals before heading back to your parents' basement. Scarily enough, it's already out of stock, but ThinkGeek should have more in a couple weeks for $30.[Via

iPhone delayed in France due to unlocking laws?
Filed under: Cellphones
We're not exactly up on our French, let alone our French telecommunications law, but we're hearing that Apple's supposed launch of the iPhone in that country is being held up by two different regulations that prevent the iPhone from being the locked-down revenue-generating machine Apple wants it to be. The first, a law passed in 1998, requires that carriers unlock any phone upon customer request -- for a fee during the first six months of a contract and for free after that. Notably, all three major French carriers -- including Orange, which was

The unit hits your network through the two Gigabit Ethernet ports, and you can configure the drives as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 or JBOD arrays, and once you've maxed that out, the three eSATA ports and four USB 2.0 ports let you expand the system even farther.

Death row inmate unable to appeal, computer troubles blamed

On the day in which he was to be executed, Presiding Judge Sharon Keller decided to not accept a filing for appeal after 5:00PM, even though a number of personnel stayed after. Turns out, a "severe computer problem" hindered Mr. Michael Richard's lawyers from being able to print and deliver the paperwork before the Judge-established deadline, thus eliminating his ability to receive a stay of execution.

Rather than blatantly demoting it, Apple has apparently chosen to snub the Caps Lock key on its newest metallic keyboards ever so quietly.
