Averatec isn’t exactly the biggest player around when it comes to notebooks, but it does have a fair market presence and technological background to come up with something interesting once in a while. Today we have the Averatec 2575 notebook that makes inroads into the ultra portable notebook PC market with its 12.1″ offering. I’m curious to see how this model will stack up against the rest of similar notebooks in the market – will it be able to hold its own and move a fair number of units, or will it be another choice people will pass over? Head on to read an excerpt from the press release right after the jump. (Read the full post about ‘Averatec 2575 notebook released’…)

Don’t you just hate those sudden electric jolts whenever static gets discharged during a cold day? The Stunning Camera project offers similar ‘treatment’ to your unsuspecting victm. The stunning camera is a nifty little mod you can do to any standard disposable camera from your local grocery/convenience store. The idea behind The Stunning Camera is that a high voltage is required to charge the internal capacitor, so why not just let that charge flow through the camera user’s hand when they try to snap a photo. Of course it won’t be your hand! >=D. Sounds like a pretty cool but mean trick come this April Fool’s Day! (Read the full post about ‘The Stunning Camera Project’…)

In the fitness arena, companies never seem to tire of offering up products with the supposed ability to exercise our bodies without requiring us to actually do anything - and the market will continue to thrive as long as the gullible and lazy among us keep feeding it. Vibrating belts designed to trim our waists while we watch tv and exercise machines that promise to give us glutes of steel in just 4 minutes a day seem very compelling during bouts of insomnia at four in the morning. Oh, but these muscle tone garments from Japanese sportwear maker Asics are different (until proven otherwise) because they assist you in toning your muscles during exercise.

Intel’s Classmate PC was originally designed to go up against the OLPC XO laptop as a low cost computer that will help bridge the digital divide in developing countries, but it seems as though folks living in developed countries want their share as well. Analysts have so far concluded that both Europe and the US will be receiving the Classmate pretty soon, primarily targeting the education sector.

Nowadays people try to use alternative energy sources wherever it’s possible. There are a lot of reasons for this, among which the lack of natural resources and will to protect the environment are the most important. One of the methods to produce power real-time consists in the idea of using human efforts and energy that seems to be promising enough. gadgets like crowd farm produce electricity when people walk on them, another good idea was to combine a revolving door with an electricity generator.

Right? Sure, the Cupertino fruit company’s been riding high as of late, but if America’s Finest News Source has it, we’ll all be looking at our iDevices like bellbottoms and Betamaxes soon enough. Did the Apple backlash start today ?Yes, even the fanboys have to admit things have been a bit stale lately.Oh hell no, Steve would never let that happen.

If I didn’t work from home and had anything approaching a decent sense of balance, I could totally see myself cycling to work. But I hear a lot of horror stories from cyclists in major cities about drivers who just don’t respect the environmental option and try to hustle bike riders off the road. A company called Action Cameras suggests that cyclists try one of their wireless helmet cameras to catch these criminals in the act. The video cameras attach to a cycling helmet and record directly to an SD card (up to 2 GB is available).
