Soon to be quarantined after the nasty scabies epidemic, this MacBook for Pirates features a special Apple and crossbones logo design courtesy of Etsy user LastFuse (name thief that they be), selling their decal for only $2.50.

If the parrot, hat and eye patch didn’t tip them off, this decal sure will.

I sort of feel bad. The LEGO minifig trying to eat my MacBook is clearly starving. Why else would you attempt to eat a perfectly good electronic? On the other hand, I’d much prefer my MacBook not have any further bite marks, barring the original bite mark of the Apple logo.

But no, I’ve had enough of this. My MacBook never did anything to warrant biting. Just go away minifig. You’re adorable and all, but enough’s enough. You can grab your own minifig MacBook decal for $14.

If you’ve come across Apple’s homepage today you might notice several new gadgets strewn across the site, including the maxi pad-inspired Magic Mouse, a brand new multi-touch mouse device which will now ship with all iMacs.

Apple also unveiled a new line of iMacs with massive 21.5 or 27 in. displays and a wireless keyboard and new MacBooks with a brand-new unibody look, only 1.08 inches thick, a built-in battery and an expanded trackpad. I’m actually pretty surprised all of this new gadgetry was released without so much as a minor scheduled event. Check out Apple.com for all the details.

The PS3 Slim was already beginning to feel a little chubby. Time takes a a toll on the body. Thankfully, we have Ben Heck to make everything more portable. His new PS3 Slim Laptop takes the improved hardware of the Slim and makes it even more mobile with his notebook-inspired mod.

This anti-theft Newspaper Laptop Sleeve seems sort of counter-productive to me. Don’t people take other peoples’ newspapers all of the time? If I see a random newspaper sitting on a table, I’m picking that baby up and reading.

So, in all actuality, you might be setting yourself up for even a higher chance of theft. But whatever, it looks pretty cool.

I haven’t watched Nickelodeon since about the time Ahh! Real Monsters came on the air, but I still get a hint of nostalgia everytime I hear the channel name or see some of their iconic green slime. Hours and hours of watching Doug, Rugrats and Rocko’s Modern Life will do that to you.

Dell and Nickelodeon have partnered to introduce the Inspiron Mini Nickelodeon Edition netbook PC designed for kids. Stocked with an Atom N270 processor, 1GB RAM, up to 160GB hard drive, a 10.1-inch LCD display, WiFi, Bluetooth and a 1.3 Megapixel webcam (the webcam is probably a bad idea), the notebook is designed to look like it has been slimed.

The novelty of having a PetEgo Pet / Laptop Backpack hybrid might wear off soon after you realize your beloved pooch has been charred by your recently charged notebook. The Asians love it, but for Westerners? Not so much.

But as long as their is a generous amount of padding between the two, this is actually a really neat idea. I’m kind of sick of carrying around my dog in a purse anyway. You can only look so manly walking around with a Yorkie Poo in a purse. Even if you ARE wearing a cowboy hat.

BCake as put together an amazing display of Apple cake goodness. Including the iPhone, the Macbook Pro, the Mighty Mouse and even more geeky goodness, such as pens, Apple’s trademark white USB cables and post-it notes, this cake creation is a multi-faceted geek dream.

If it tastes half as good as it looks I’ll be halfway to diabetes by the time I take the last bite.

Birthday cards are hard to pick out as it is, but when shopping for a geek, it becomes even more difficult. Skimming through the cards at your local Walmart doesn’t leave you many options.

These iCards are inspired by the original Apple iBook laptops. I haven’t seen many greeting cards which are specifically geared to Apple fans, in fact, this might be the first. You can grab your own set of three from Etsy for $12.

I don’t care how much of an Apple fanboy you are. Mac or not, this notebook is the shiz.

This Asus Transformers G60 gaming notebook was given away as a promotion between Asus and Paramount, in a contest awarding one lucky fan for pre-registering to view Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with Odeon cinemas.
