Some quirky stuff were shown at CES and no less is the cool ASUS AIRO, which features a sliding keyboard design that is designed (no pun intended) to impress. When you open it up, the mechanism slides the keyboard upwards and inwards, and the keyboard literally floats up, supported only by two hinges on the […]

Dell WASABI Zink printer
The Zink ink-less printing technology has been covered before, but thanks to Dell, they are about to enjoy major critical and commercial success. Nobody sells computers like Dell, and if they start offering this with their laptops as accessories, we might be seeing this everywhere soon. The WASABI is the name of the printer by […]
iPod Touch on Android?
I think it would be much easier if they marketed this as a cheaper iPod Touch running on Android.

FLATMII Mods Nintendo Wii, bypasses DVD-ROM drive
Nintendo have been fighting piracy ever since the days of the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System). Even up to the days of the Dreamcast, they have adopted the stance that games should be on proprietary format (cartridges, special Dreamcast media, etc) but for the Wii, they have decided that maybe the reason why they’re not […]

Install Apple OS X Leopard onto MSI Wind Netbook
The community of hackintoshes, or Macintosh operating systems running on non-standard Apple hardware, has been a vibrant one, albeit silent but that doesn’t mean some of their great achievements should be ignored.
