Apple MacBook Air

How delicious looking is the new MacBook Air, omg. There are some reviews of it that don't exactly love some of the shortcomings, however. Battery life, hard to reach USB ports, and slowness are some of the major gripes about it. It's a tough sell right now, unless you fall right into that niche market that the Air is targeting. I am, unfortunately, not part of it. Boo.

Apple iPhone Out June 29th

I wasn't planning on wanting the Apple iPhone, but after viewing the ads I may have changed my mind a little bit. Or a lot.

Costco Reviews

If you guys like Costco and the products they sell, check out Costco Reviews for product reviews. It's good, cause I wrote it.

A Man Who Loves MACs

This dude has an modern-styled house with, well, a lot of Macs. It's too bad we don't have many basements here in Southern California.

Widescreen iPod? Who cares, the Cowon A3 is coming

I'm a huge Apple guy, but after waiting 64 years for a widescreen iPod, I finally gave in and got the Cowon A2 30 GB Portable Multimedia Player a few months ago. Here are the reasons why:

1) It's widescreen (4 inches)
2) It plays DivX/Xvid natively (iPods requires conversion unless bought straight from iTunes)
3) Loooong battery life (10 hours video playback!)

I used it a lot on the plane ride back from Cancun and watched three movies. It made the time fly(hehe, get it?). I purchased it almost a year after it was released, so I knew that a follow up would come soon. As I suspected, Cowon announced that they will be showing off the updated Cowon A3 at the CES next week. Hurray!

Guitar Hero 2

All we played over the Holidays was Guitar Hero 2. It was so addictive, even my wife wanted to play! I'm pretty sure the two hottest items over Christmas was the Wii and Guitar Hero 2. It's sold out almost anywhere, but you can get Guitar Hero 2 Bundle with Guitar from Amazon.com.

This is just a friendly remind that the Nintendo Wii will be available for preorder at Gamestop and Ebgames tomorrow, and should last just a couple of minutes. Good luck and may the force be wii you.

Google Calendar

You know me and my obsession with all things Google. They just released their Calendar... not quite as good as 30 Boxes yet (30 Boxes has tags), but you know, I'm gonna switch anyway.

Flickr Printing

I think Flickr slipped this in the last couple of weeks... but you can now select Print from a photo and pick it up at your local Target for 20 cents for a 4x6. That's pretty convenient for me. I was wondering a couple of weeks ago why Flickr didn't have the Target option while their owner Yahoo! Photos did... I guess they wondered the same thing and implemented it. Suh-weet!

Update: I just went to pick up my photos and they told me the first 10 you print are free! You don't even have to print all 10 at once. You can do 5 one time, and 5 another. Woot!

Play This!

Engadget was invited to take a tour of the Xbox headquarters in Seattle. It's pretty cool to see what it looks like inside... pretty much like your office, but with a lot more Xboxes.

Typo stock trade costs $225 million

And I thought I made some mistakes in stock trading. A tard in Japan mistyped a trade and it ended up costing the firm 225 million buckeroos (27 billion yen).

The trouble began Thursday morning, when Mizuho Securities tried to sell 610,000 shares at 1 yen (less than a penny) apiece of a job recruiting firm called J-Com Co., which was having its public debut on the exchange.

It had actually intended to sell 1 share at 610,000 yen ($5,041).

Worse still, the number of shares in Mizuho’s order was 41 times the number of J-Com’s outstanding shares, but the Tokyo Stock Exchange processed the order anyway.

Hardware Pr0n

Hot chicks with hardware. Doesn't really get better than that. It's kinda NSFW, just cause there are lots of scantily clad chicks. No nudity though.

Damon Jones: Air Li-Ning

I saw on NBA.com that 3-point specialist Damon Jones of the Cleveland Cavaliers may be endorsing the Li-Ning athletic shoes. The casual fan wouldn't know who Damon Jones is, but I guess he thinks he could play more like Yao if he wore Li-Nings.

"They're an awesome company, and they've been great so far," Jones said. "It was a situation where I didn't have a shoe contract coming into the year, and I was searching around, and I felt that being different, as I am, I thought it would be a good move to market myself in a different light. They felt with my personality and my glamorous looks that I could bring a little pop to the brand," said Jones, who expects his own signature shoe by next season.

Xbox 360 Games Extracted

Saw this over on digg. A group has already extracted the games and are welcoming people to take a look at the file system:

we even decided to release the source code, so that you can figure out the filesystem and make even nicer tools and clean up our horrible looking code, cause we are lazy and old!

No, they haven't yet figured out how to play backups on your Xbox 360. But it's a start.
