Posted Feb 10th 2008 11:48AM by Chris ZieglerFiled under: cellphones, Handhelds Alright, we’ve got to admit, this looks like a pretty real press rendering to us, so we’re going to bite. This here is allegedly Sony Ericsson’s G700i, one of two members of the all-new “G” line allegedly being introduced at Mobile World Congress this week; if the previously-leaked specs hold up, it’ll include a 3.2 megapixel camera and a 2.5-ish inch display but lack WiFi, which is where its G900i big sib comes into the picture.

We all know that cell phones are dime a dozen, and basically everyone I know has one. I suppose only the retired segment of the population couldn’t care less about new features that are introduced with each generation of handsets, but a cell phone is an essential item for today and no longer considered to be a luxury gadget to have. While phone manufacturers have been pushing a whole bunch of handsets down our throats with each quarter (remember back in the good old days where Nokia released just a couple of handsets each year?), there are a couple of companies who have decided that the consumer should be the one who chooses what they want to see inside each handset instead of getting features which they don’t want/need.

I remember back when Dell finally wised up and decided to put some AMD chips in their computers. Being a longtime AMD fan, I was overjoyed (even if I wouldn’t touch a Dell with a 10-foot pole) at their decision to give consumers a choice in CPUs. Unfortunately it was around that time that AMD began to really lose ground against Intel. They’ve yet to really pull out of their slump, and now Dell is reconsidering their sales of AMD chips. So far they’ve just nixed AMD CPUs from their online store. You can still find a few here and there, but that’s only temporary. They’ve add ed a few words of caution to those looking for AMD systems on their site: Shop for Dell computers with AMD processors in retail stores.

How about having your ashes spread throughout le grande bleu courtesy of a pressed paper capsule? Lots Design of Sweden thinks that this is an idea that might catch on. The “Shell” as it is called, is made out of biodegradable paper and features a pocket so that loved ones of the deceased can put in messages to be carried with the remains into watery oblivion. I can think of worse ways to be sent off. (Read the full post about ‘Anyone for an Environmentally Friendly Sea Burial?’…)

As a Geek, perhaps you have the same issue as I do. You see, gadgets require power to charge up and the more gadgets you collect and use, the harder it is to find places to plug-in all your gadgets so when you’re running out the door in the morning to sit in traffic you don’t forget you Treo, blackberry, iPods, etc… Combine this with multiple people in your house and every socket in your kitchen is in use! Wouldn’t it be great for cable organization so your gadget resting place looks as nice and neat as your wiring closet only you see in the basement? The Five Device Recharging Station is a recharging platform that, go figures, stores and recharges up to five devices from one convenient place with four integrated AC ports and two USB ports.

Melbourne restaurant Attica serves up a number of exquisite dishes with “fresh smoke” courtesy of a piece of equipment that is usually the domain of teenage stoner misfits. A battery-powered bong is used to draw smoke from burning cedar and hickory chips into a plastic bag with food. The plastic bag is then sealed and placed in the refrigerator for a period of about twenty minutes. Fresh smoke is trapped in a stemless wine glass which is placed over the food for serving.

Posted Feb 9th 2008 11:10PM by Paul MillerFiled under: Household There comes the time in every young person’s life where they decide to graduate from the microwave to the stove. And fail miserably. Now instead of retreating dejectedly back to the kitchen microwave, where the rest of the appliances can point and make fun, you can hide your shame with the iWave Cube. The little microwave measures one cubic foot (about the size of a Kleenex box), and weighs just 12 pounds. Unfortunately, you’ll still need to plug it in, so there’s a limit to how far you can run.
