Don’t feel like shelling out the extra money for a new laptop battery? This video tutorial shows you how to hack your notebook battery to keep the bad boy working. Very cool for the more frugal of the bunch. So, come on fellow readers, get out your tools. Happy hacking! — Andrew Dobrow

Three LCD screens on a laptop? Oh, don’t doubt it so quick, fellow gearheads. Check out the ACME tri-folding laptop featured at CeBIT. Don’t get your hope panties all up in a bundle just yet. This ACME product is for now, just a prototype, but this rugged piece of lap gear is sure to turn a lot of heads. Especially of those who are into killer resolution.

While the thought of a company named ACME might fill your head of falling anvils and Elmer Fudd, this laptop is no cartoon fantasy. At least, we hope not! This thing is too damn cool to be loony. While ACME says it is a “rugged” laptop, you would figure it would include dust-proof and water-proof protection. Think again. Apparently rugged no longer refers to the outdoor-men. At least it has an aluminum frame, which must be what they refer to as “rugged”. — Andrew Dobrow

More CES rumors are flooding in and it seems like it’s going to be a great year for gearheads. LG is planning on introducing it’s LG-K970 at CES 2007, which seems to be the same phone that was featured in T3 magazine, then called the 3G Shine. With its signature mirror display and the 2 megapixel camera, the K970 is shaping up to be a very, very cool piece of gear. The LG Shine line of phones are designed just for people like us, who love their phones like they love their woman. Productive, modern, and pretty. — Andrew Dobrow
