Media centers seem to be all the rage nowadays, as high definition movies and television shows, as well as higher quality picture and music have started to invade the market. While some recent additions to the media center families, like AppleTV and distinguished models from several startup companies have been impressive, none have really captured the idea of replacing a Tivo, computer, amplifier, receiver, Netflix deliveries, media players, DVD player, and catch-all computer … until now.
As Alienware describes it, the Hangar 18 can do just about anything:
* Watch - Watch, pause, and record your movies, TV shows, photos, and internet videos on your widescreen TV in high definition
* Listen - Listen to all your favorite songs and artists with Hangar18’s onboard 5.1 surround sound amplifier
* Share - Wirelessly stream all your media to other PCs, mobile devices, and media extenders throughout your home.
* Download - Download content from all over the internet to one secure location to store and share with your home and others.
Whatever your plans today whether it be a nice dinner, romantic movie or dinner for one, have a safe and great evening. For all my fellow Star Wars geeks, LOST nerds and Sci-Fi fanatics: may all you sexless wonders find love at first sight, or a really good priced hooker.
I’m still bitter about Sony killing off QRIO and Aibo but now more than ever fans around the world are celebrating them in way that 10 years from now, will turn them into pop-tech icons.
Will Murai composed one of my favorite images that define our time, this one he calls Asimov pinup. Here the ubiquitous QRIO is at his girlfriend’s side but it looks like his curiosity algorithms are a little out of hand. Not only that but it looks like ole’ girl is using one of those uber-lusted after iMacs. This digital painting totally says circa 2006 and I love the classic pinup art style.
At a lost of what to get your honey bear for Valentines? How about a portable pocket heater you can slip down anywhere - be it a pocket, your hand, or in some other crevices that need not be mentioned?
The Sanyo Eneloop Kairo is specially packaged for Valentine’s in a pink box with a heart shaped cut out. The device comes with Sanyo’s Eneloop lithium ion battery good enough for 5 hours of heat. You’d have to buy it from Amazon Japan but it only comes out to $30 after conversion. Happy Heating!
Just in time for Valentine’s Day are the horribly ulgy (what? no darling, they’re gorgeous!) heart-shaped headphones with an equally horrible name: Ear Drops. Ear Drops are pink silicone plug type earbuds that look like they’ve been bedazzled to death, but still stick to the winning forumula of pink plus shiny. Makers Elecom must know Valentines as they’ve thought of everything, rounding out the collection with cheapies (around $15) for the cheap bastard valentine out there.
In a valiant attempt to prove sex will sell anything from a loaf of bread to a used bag of medical waste, I4U shows us the old trick of the trade is as prominent as ever in tech ads. And just for clarification, I know those hotties have no idea what they are selling and I know that they are probably laughing at me behind my back.
That’s why I look and don’t touch, no broad is going to effect…my….holy crap is that chick playing a Wii? Damnit, where’s the closest ATM when you need one?
Keyboards aren’t just for typing and locating pron, no, they’re for beating the crap out of annoying co-workers as well. Case in point: this video. Check out this high-strung dude who goes a bit mental on his office mate.
A Brazilian escort site, (warning link NSFW) mclass.com.br is uploading videos of their “services” in MP4 format for iPod Video and PSP. Now, I don’t know who leads such a busy lifestyle they don’t have time to look at their next prostitute from their computer or pick one over the phone, but maybe those people should take a step back and ask themselves, “Do I really need a hooker today?”
Great Headline: “Mclass.com, for the cheating business man on the move!”
It might just be me, but questions like “What are you doing for the rest of your life?” aren’t as big of a turn on as the Apple marketing team might think. But why stop there? Lets take this new stalker iPod gift giving occasion to the next level.
Why not offer other pre-inscribed Shuffles with lovely verses like “I know you changed the locks and I already have a key” or “Whose that new girl I’ve seen you with?” There you go Apple, those ones are free, the rest I’m keeping.
