Load-Ding - A Hammock for Your Electronics
Oh, the simplicity of it! We have seen a lot of over-designed so-called solutions for keeping your chargers and devices organized, neat and off the floor. But we found that the Load-Ding (got it?) is the smartest of the bunch. A flat piece of white plastic, flocked on the inside, in black, forms a “tray” that cradles your power-hungry device and keeps it safe. Easy to use, great to travel with and, above all, supremely practical. What else would you expect from German design?

This Frankenstein of a creation is actually the amalgamation between a Spectrum ZX and a Toshiba Libretto 110. The latter retains its processor, but both the lower case and keyboard has been replaced with ZX hardware. It is easy for the creator to create a passive adapter circuit to match things up since both machines employ the use of matrix style keyboards, albeit with different matrix layouts.

The Asus M50 entertainment notebook will come in a couple of variants - the M50Sv-B1 model features an Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 1.2GHz processor and a hd dvd optical drive (what the?!) while the M50Sv-A1 has a T9300 2.5GHz processor and a standard DVD burner. Both of them will be powered graphically by the GeForce 9500M GS 512MB dedicated video card which packs more than a decent punch, while you get a 15.4″ 1,440 x 900 display. 3GB RAM, a 250GB hard drive and Altec Lansing stereo speakers round off the list of features. Asus also allows you to replace the GeForce 9500M with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650 1GB video card if your budget provides. Both Windows Vista-powered models will retail from $1,499.99 upwards.

I've been trying to find the perfect camera bag, or "gadget bag", as we used to call them, for years.
So far I've accumulated a collection of bags that rivals the number of cameras I have, and none are perfect, yet each in its own way, is.
That's because I'm a pack rat, and I tend to bring more stuff along than is needed. So I end up with half a car trunk full of bags with all the cameras and associated photo equipment I think I might need.
The, when I get to where I'm going I usually end up picking a few items from each bag and one bag suitable to carry my selections.
I hope you're not like me and can't make your mind up about what camera bag to use and spend more time taking pictures rather than preparing to take them.
Regardless of your needs pick a well made bag that is sturdy and adequately padded.
Here's a good article about digital camera bag quality and choices by Digital Photography members.
Take a camera with you whenever possible, and look around, you'll find a picture somewhere.

Pushing pixels is great and all, but sometimes we’ve just got a hankering to see how far those dollars can stretch, and Averatec’s 2575 laptop mostly satisfies those urges. For $1100 you get Vista Home Premium running on an AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual Core chip, with 2GB of RAM, ATI RS690 integrated graphics, 250GB of HDD and a Super Multi DVD drive. The 12.1-inch screen runs at 1280 x 800, and sports a 1.3 megapixel webcam. There’s even ExpressCard 34 / 54 and a 4-in-1 memory card reader, and the whole shebang weighs in at 3.9 pounds and 1.5-inch thick. It’s available now.

Oh great Korean gods of peculiar gadgetry what have you done? That’s the Cellink T/M from Human C&C. The device functions as a mass storage device or microSD card reader when standing in a straight-up, USB stick mode. Give it a flip, swing and slide and you’ve got a USB charging solution for mobile devices while simultaneously blocking all the ports on your laptop. Mechanical art or overly engineered crap? Really, without any detail we can’t decide.

It was July 2007 when we got to hear of the Motorola Z9 slider first. But it seems Moto’s got a lot on their plate to have reached a year before we see some action on the Moto Z9. As you can see on the pics above and below after the jump,the Motorola Z9 slider phone comes with a 2.4-inch color display, 2 megapixel camera with flash and 8x digital zoom, expandable microSD card slot of up to 8GB, 45MB internal memory, dedicated music keys, A-GPS support, USB 2.0 connectivity, HSDPA support, and Windows Media 11 music manager. No word of price or availability yet, but trust Motorola to make us wait some more.

It’s only beta at the moment, but the open source community just kicked Ubuntu 8.04 out into the wilds. As you’d expect, the update brings an increment to Ubuntu’s quaint, alphabetical naming convention. In other words, the new Hardy Heron will supplant the current Gutsy Gibbon as we make our way towards an October release of Intrepid Ibex. Got it? Good, now do yourselves a favor and check out Ubuntu’s latest. Then decide for yourself if Hardy Heron’s April 24th go-date means something special for you.
