If you haven’t been able to get your hands on one of the coveted iPods so far, but you love the look of them this memory stick would be cheaper and cute.  It doesn’t quite have the sleek look of the iPod, but instead goes for a cuddly lovable version.  Just flip it open and inside is a memory stick to hold all of your data. ipod owners could even carry this around to show their love for all things iPod without having to worry about the real thing getting stolen.

Summer is the time for hot dogs. And we mean of the canine variety, of course. Yeah, frankfurters are delicious at BBQs, baseball games, and the occasional quick meal, but we’re not talking about meat here. We’re talking about our four-legged companions. Man’s best friend. The dog.

Any pet owner (as long as they don’t own a camel or scorpion) knows that pets and extreme heat don’t mix very well. While dogs might love laying out in the sun and catching rays just as much as we do, you can tell from their panicked panting that the heat is just too much for them to bare at times. The Pant Master 2000 keeps your doggy cool in the dog days of August.

As we’ve seen, laptops have a tendency of getting stolen from even the most unsuspecting places, but a new study has now found one not entirely surprising place where your laptop is particularly unsafe: the airport. According to the Ponemon Institute, more than 10,000 laptops are reported lost at the 36 largest airports in the US each week and, of those, 65 percent are not reclaimed. They also reported a further 2,000 laptops lost at medium-sized airports, with 69 percent of those not reclaimed.

Think about how many junky cars you see people driving. Where do you think those cars will be in five years? Rotting away in some landfill no doubt. Old car parts can be used for so many productive purposes, rather than gathering dust on some abandoned lot.

Armando Ramirez proves that old cars are so much more than mobile junk piles. He creates these awesome recycled chess sets made from old automobile parts. Each chess set is custom made, each piece composed of the heavy and rustic remnants of an old car.

For example, the heads of the bishop pieces are made using NGK and AC DELCO spark plugs. Each set is completely unique, each with their own individual touches.

by Ryan Block, posted Jul 6th 2008 at 3:10PMSo LAPTOP magazine published a report confirming what most people already believe to be true about SSDs (that is, before last week when SSDs supposedly hit the fan): they use less power than traditional drives. Apparently they got an extra 20 minutes battery life when testing an SSD against a platter-based drive in an Eee PC and Gateway T-6828 (which jibes with our own experiences using SSDs in laptops), but if you ask us, the discussion is seems a little moot.

The Washingtonpost reviews the Samsing Ace and writes, “The 1.3-megapixel camera captured decent snapshots, but the shutter speed was a little slow (as with most camera phones). The Internet connectivity is zippy, and the oversize Web search bar is a nice touch when you’re dealing with the small font size. Among the other included features are stereo Bluetooth, a memory card slot, and Windows Media Player 10 Mobile with support for Windows Media music sync.” Read more about the Samsung Ace.

Every time I see an oxygen bar I’m always picturing President Skroob sucking air out of a can and claiming there is no air shortage to the public.  If you have no idea what I’m talking about, well then, you’re disowned.  Well, okay I suppose as long as you promise to redeem yourself and go rent Spaceballs.  This oxygen bar at least has more perks than a simple can of air, but in my head it’s pretty much the same principle either way except with one extra difference.  This one is to feel relaxed and in Spaceballs it was because they were running out of air.

If you found yourself infatuated with Samsung’s YP-U3, you’re sure to love the U4… we think. There’s a complete dearth of information regarding the device itself, but given that it already has a placeholder and image on the outfit’s Korean Yepp site, we’d say there’s a pretty good chance it’ll be getting real soon enough.
