Need we say more?


Ok but because you asked....This is the Brabus Mercedes-Benz S600 iBusiness edition. While the car itself tops out 211MPH, you can be working at 1000MPH on 2 iPads, a Mac Mini connected to a 15.2" display, and a 64GB iPod Touch. Internet is of course provided by the local 3G wireless provider. Brabus doesn't post a price, but let's just say the car alone starts at $150,000....so you do the math....I'm still...

That being said I thought it was quite cleaver and decided to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it and tell me what you think. Read More

Help Me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; You’re My Only Hope

Remember the election night in 2008 when CNN correspondent Jessica Yellin showed up on Wolf Blitzer's coverage. Yellin was the lady who looked all smooshed with the weird blue glow around her, you know the lady who was a hologram. I remember hearing her say she was standing in a room with 35 high definition cameras, and all I thought was this doesn't look that cool, Blitzer can't see her, and that it was a waste of time money and resources. Now 3D TVs are all the buzz with their stupid $300 glasses so naturally the next step is...

The newest and probably one of the best iPad docks has finally arrived in the market. IPADock (that's the correct spelling of the device) boasts the ability to charge 2 iPads and 1 iPhone at the same time. Think it ends there...think again. The IPADock uses the universal dock port and can fit up to 4 iPhones, or iPod Touchs, or iPod nanos..or, or, or...it's TOO MUCH!! But wait there's more!! On the back of the IPADock there are slots for a SD-card, Memory Sticks, CompactFlash cards, and a 3 port USB hub. All this...

This has not been a good summer for Apple. They have experienced a number of problems ranging from Gizmodo revealing the iPhone 4, before Steve Jobs, iTunes accounts being hacked to buy thousands of dollars worth of apps, and of course antennagate. Well Apple's summer of bad luck continues: an undisclosed number of iTunes accounts, linked to Paypal have been compromised. A number of people who have compromised accounts are claiming that their accounts were cleaned out. There is still no work on how many accounts were affected but all the people who's accounts were affected have been reimbursed for...

ASUS CEO, Jerry Shen, announced this week a reduced sales forecast in its popular EEE PC line of netbooks. Why might you ask? Because more people are buying iPads! Apple sold 3 million iPads in 3 months, and ASUS is expected to sell only 1.4m units in Q3 of 2010. Asus is planning on selling it's own tablet running Windows 7 - but apparently the guys at Engadget weren't impressed. ...

Xmultiple claims their new XP1-500 iPad Adapter can charge your iPad from any USB 2.0 connector. They state that iPads will not charge through USB ports on non-Apple Computers, but the iPad will charge on any USB on any Apple. This adapter allows you to use any USB 2.0 port to deal with "Not Charging" message. Currently I'm typing this post with my iPad plugged into the front of my MacPro and I'm getting the "Not Charging" message on my iPad, so I don't know how well their claim is, but if you are will to...

I was at Wired's website earlier today learning the meanings, and reasoning behind, many computer symbols. After I read that article I did two things: I posted a link to our website, because I thought it was interesting and worth sharing, and I began to browse the site and see if there were another interesting articles. While I was browsing I came across this article.The article reports that Ray Kurzweil, an expert in artificial intelligence, believes that within the next 2 decades we will reverse engineer the Human brain and be able simulate it with computers. I don't...
