One of the best sold items in the “geek” online store thinkgeek, is the original PlusDeck which is an internal tape drive. Despite having a large price, no one else makes this drive, at least not that we know of, but it certainly drove enough interest for the company to create a new model of […]

A company called Messiah have just revealed pictures of an upcoming IR remote for the Playstation 3, which works by plugging the IR-receiver to the console via USB and pointing at it. The same IR receiver also doubles as a dock to recharge it’s internal battery.

The product will ship September 25th and you can preorder […]

If you thought that the iPod line had already expanded enough then think again, as Apple has just announced it’s new lineup, and expands the line with one more product called the iPod Touch.
Most of the designs of these new iPods are exactly as you’d expect them to be, but the new iPod Nano seems […]

It snuck up on everybody and became possibly the best summer movie in theaters this year.  Word comes today that Transformers will come to DVD and HD-DVD on October 16.
I couldn’t decide the best pic to post with this article, so I’ll put up a far better one here:

Simma down, fellas.
Press release after the jump.

 
I’m going to try to keep this as un-Apple biased as possible.
Yesterday, the official Zune blog announced that the price of Microsoft’s portable media device would be dropping to $199, effective Wednesday, September 5.
Speculation on the motivation for this price drop ranges everywhere from the likelihood of a new Zune product (which we reported on here) and […]

I’m really digging this steampunk artwork that’s been popping up lately.  If you haven’t seen it, google “steampunk star wars”.
Though this isn’t technically steampunk, it’s still got that industrial feel…and I felt like saying steampunk, so there.  Click on over for a look at a Stormtrooper, Boba Fett, and Alien.  Or, as the site puts […]

Here is yet ANOTHER video of William Shatner reminding all of us that he’s not going to be in Star Trek XI.

Shatner Is “Not In The Movie”

me thinks he doesth protest too much.
I’m beginning to think he actually IS in the movie, and all this crap is a smoke screen.
What do you think?

Over on one of our sister blogs, TV Jab, my colleague Michael has posted what he considers the top ten greatest science fiction shows of all time.
This new fall season is brimming with science fiction. From Bionic Woman to Pushing Daisies, there is sci-fi all over the television these days. It’s finally gone mainstream…but […]

Dell today announced the release of their M63000 mobile workstation. The system is designed to free up “ree engineers, artists, developers and other professionals to run business-critical applications wherever they go with true desktop-level performance.”
From the pics, the thing looks kind of thick, and I would imagine it’s going to be a bit on […]

Toshiba is all about HD-DVD these days, and they have just announced yet another HD-DVD drive into the market. This one, measuring at 5.04- x 4.96- x 0.51-inches and weigh 5.82 ounces is simply titled, the HD-DVD Writer. The drive can play HD-DVDs and also write to HD-DVD single and dual layer disks, allowing […]

Are you tired of having a phone that DOESN’T look like a Rocket? If so, then you’re going to love the new Rocket Phone. It’s the ultimate in orange plastic, nerdtastic, loneliness inducing gadgetry.
In fact, I think it’s safe to say there is a 99% chance you will never feel the touch of […]

Engadget has info on Samsung’s latest device - the Croix. The name translated into “Cross” and is named that way, apparenlty, because of its ability to be a “progressive continuum, as opposed to discrete transmission from one item to another,”
I have no idea what that means.
It just looks like another iPhone wanna-be to me.

At the beginning of August, Microsoft announced that it’s next version of Office for the Mac was being delayed until January of 2008.
Obviously this didn’t please all of the Mac users who were waiting for it’s release. Although the team claims to be working very hard on it, they (or someone working with/for them) had […]

Even though World of Warcraft still dominates most of the MMO market, Lineage 2 isn’t doing too badly either (despite having completely different player-base numbers). Recently, they partnered with Toshiba and a new Lineage 2-themed laptop emerged, which is based off of a Dynabook Satellite model.
Lineage 2 is quite demanding application, so my first concern […]

Like it was mentioned in our previous Blu-Ray Status article, all upcoming Blu-Ray players will now come with their own version of Java which will supposedly allow them to add new interactive features, similar to the ones found on some HD-DVD titles.

The player has HDMI 1.3 output, supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD and 1080p upscaling […]
