In the wake of the Commodore 64 LAN party comes a new breed of laptop. Commodore is pulling a Steve Jobs, as in: you heard it was dead, but it was all lies. It’s making a comeback with a netbook, go figure, it’s the UMMD 8010/F. Compared to the Commodore 64, it’s loaded. The UMMD 8010/F has a 10″ screen and comes with a processing power of 1.6GHZ, 80GB of hard drive space and 1GB of RAM.

It’s half the price of the Dell E Mini Notebook, with half the RAM. At $600 dollars, it comes packed with a 1.3-megapixel camera and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi capability. But you know the only reason you’d buy it is because it says “Commodore” right below the monitor.

Have a bunch of old hard drives collecting dust in your closet? Why not turn them into something practical? You could turn one into an orchestra of annoying buzzing sounds or perhaps a clock. Jipa of Metku Mods has turned his deadbeat HDD into a grinder for sanding or sharpening. All it took was a little re-arranging of disks and some sand paper. Oh, and imagination. Imagination is the key to the universe.

For the past few years, I’ve run out of storage space on my PC for all my pornography media files.  It’s a total bummer, considering the rest of my processes have to suffer due to a lack of porn-holding storage space.  The good news is that Data Robotics has launched the second-generation model of its award-winning Drobo enclosure. FireWire 800 alongside improved USB 2.0 performance and an upgraded core processor make the next-generation Drobo more efficient at managing and storing digital information than a 150GB hard drive chock full of porn.

Regular hard drives just don’t cut it anymore. They aren’t expandable and most don’t have anywhere near 16 TB of data storage. For those who find themselves managing vast amounts of porn data and can’t afford to sacrifice performance, the Drobo is an ideal way to solve your masturbation data problem.

The long-awaited upgrade from a 20GB to 60GB hard drive for the Xbox 360 Pro could be announced at the company’s E3 keynote next month says TrustedReviews. A source says there’s a release scheduled for August before the 10th. If you’ve got a 20GB hard drive on your 360 and your kicking yourself for not holding out for the 60GB, no worries. You can always buy a separate 120GB drive, though dealing with the transfer can be a bitch.

Sources also say that Microsoft is desperately deciding to make “Wii-style avatars” which I assume means “Mii-style avatars.” Either way, lame idea Microsoft. Get your own avatars and while you’re at it, make Xbox Live free.

A little less than a month ago, watchmaker Urwerk gave us a taste of sexiness with their turbine-powered 202 Hammerhead design. Urwerk continues to push the envelope with their 103.08 TiAlN, which stands for Titanium Aluminum Nitride, and is said to be the hardest watch ever made. The special TiAlN coating is only 4 microns thick, yet weighs a fraction as much as gold or silver.

The compound is 5 1/2 times harder than steel and Urwerk is the first watch maker to use the substance. And of course, the watch comes with that signature Urwerk revolving satellite design, which allows users to view the time without turning their wrists all the way. The limited edition watch is only for the biggest of spenders, fetching a price of $70,000. (more…)
