When Apple TV 3.0 came out, we were unimpressed . Readers asked what else they could use to play their many videos. Here are five nice ones to suit different needs—nearly all cost less, and do more, than ATV. The goal here is simple: Play all the videos that I have ripped from DVD, ...

The Adamo XPS is a daring slice of design and engineering. Quite frankly, it's batshit insane. I mean that in the best possible way. It really is impossibly thin. I felt like I was holding a single sheet of aluminum that was contoured into the curved shape of a laptop. I set it down, ...

OK Asus, what the hell? I've drooled over your entertainment-PC-in-a-keyboard with wireless HDMI for months now. You said October looked good , but now it's delayed until early next year? At least you're making the 5-inch touchscreen a capacitive panel now. The increased responsiveness and ...

Who would have thought that six acrylic limbs could transform a MacBook into something so evil...so powerful? Luckily the designer hasn't designed the legs as articulating and retractable, or we'd really be screwed. $40. [ MonsterMonster via Unplggd via Core77 ]

Bad news: Nvidia has confirmed Intel's stance on USB 3.0 —no Intel chipsets will support the new standard until 2011. Short of Intel stating something different, USB 3.0 probably won't hit mass consumption until then. Is there any hope? We've already seen an Intel motherboard hit the ...

How did Asus, Acer and all the other netbook manufacturers miss such an obvious ploy? The word " Litl Webbook " must be the most cutely named gadget since the "Chumby." And it's also an interesting product in its own right. But I did say "interesting," not "buyable." The Litl Webbook is a ...

There's no doubt about it: Today, the concept of a disposable laptop is totally ridiculous. But you know what else was ridiculous? Disposable cameras, 60 years ago . And this thing just looks fantastic, so I'll let it slide. Also: symbolism! There are a lot of holes you could poke in this ...

It has always been an unspoken fear—or assumption, even—that the dual-touchscreen followup to the original OLPC, the XO-2 , would never come to pass. But we let the dream live! Until today: the XO-2 is officially scrapped . Almost worse than the news that we'll never see this ...

Yesterday I spent the evening at Tuthilltown Spirits , New York's first distillery after the Prohibition, and makers of some of the most delicious whiskey I've ever had. I would never use their bottles to make a PC. It'd be sacrilege. A bottle of bad whiskey, on the other side, would be ...

Maingear, the custom PC maker and purveyor of tramp stamp laptops , has let loose a duo of simplistic-looking desktop towers this morning designed to "shed the bling" and focus instead on what's going down inside the case. Both the the Shift: Intel P55 and the Shift: Intel X58 are powered by ...

ATI's six-monitor-driving dual-GPU Radeon HD 5970 was caught posing on a table this weekend, as new and upcoming gadgets are wont to do. And before you ask, yes, it is still a huge honkin' piece of kit. At more than a foot long, this card requires eight- and six-pin power connectors and a ...

Man, Asus is really going nuts with USB 3.0 gear this week. First this 3.0 compatible motherboard , now a SuperSpeed ready PCI-E card that won't even break the bank at $30. Unfortunately, the guys at Maximum PC didn't have any USB 3.0 devices to run the card through it's paces. All we know is ...

Android OS, and 1GHz Snapdragon processor is, well, back
on again. Asus now calls it their "secret weapon" and says it should arrive early next year for about $180 bucks. Maybe all the interest in Android ...

Now that Windows 7 and Snow Leopard are both out in the wild, it is time, once again, to take stock of the state of home computing. That is to say, are you using a Mac or a PC? Before you answer the poll, keep this in mind: work machines don't count. Presumably, you made a personal choice ...
