Dell Adamo – Macbook Air Clone

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

The Dell Adamo Ultra Slim laptop sports stylish, edgy and avant garde look. Dell is really eager to go on head to head collision with the Macbook Air.

While it’s touted to be as the slimmest laptop, it looks clunkier compare to Macbook Air. It doesn’t help that it’s still ridiculously overpriced. Maybe they’re trying to dodge the title “Poor Man’s Macbook Air clone”. With the current recession blues looming around they really need to reconsider the price.

What makes this more interesting is that the laptop’s battery isn’t replaceable. You’ll have to send it back to Dell to replace it. In case windows freezes on you, good luck waiting 5 hours for the battery to drain out so you can reboot.

Incredible Console Mod – The making of Super Nintoaster

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

nintoaster

In case you guys are wondering what does this toaster do? Believe it or not, this unusual gadget can play old nintendo games. As complicated as it looks, the mod would be easy for those who knows a bit of electronic wirings and circuitry.

Don’t get too excited folks, this little toaster can’t make your toasted bread. I kinda wish that one can toast the bread while playing the game. However it’s a bit unfeasible since you need NASA quality heat proof items to keep the SNES system from being fried.
