Believe it or not, this actually isn’t the first FDA approved personal hair remover we’ve come across, but for those looking for something capable of handling some seriously hairy ordeals, look no further than Silk’n. Created by Home Skinovations (har har), this unit relies on proprietary Home Pulsed Light technology to zap […]

Finally, the Intel Netbook mystery is solved with the official unveiling of the 7- and 9-inch low-enders in Malaysia. The ruggedized laptops for kids (at least, initially) are manufactured by Malaysia’s own FTEC and will carry a SmartBook moniker. The term “netbook” is generic, Intel-speak for highly-portable, Internet-centric laptops which Intel plans to […]

We have some major doubts about this one, since Asus officially shut down those Eee PC touchscreen rumors a while back, and DigiTimes has been pretty far off in the past, but apparently the new word on the street is that Asus actually is building resistive touch into at least a some of […]

Filed under: Portable AudioApparently Clear Channel’s new motto is “if you can’t beat ‘em, make life suck on the other side of the merger.” The broadcast giant has dropped a whole big list of requests on the FCC to impose as conditions upon XM / Sirius for a merger, not the least of which is […]

While Samsung is a perennial innovator when it comes to hardware, software has never been the company’s strong suit. Lucky for us, the new TouchWiz UI Samsung is building for its touchscreen phones is a significant step in the right direction, and the new AnyCall Haptic SCH-W420 looks to be the perfect way […]

Western Digital has never been one to skimp on color choices for its portable hard drives, and it now busted out the crayons yet again for its new batch of My Passport Elite USB drives. Available in bronze, titanium, westminster blue and cherry red, the drives each boast a “soft-touch finish” to keep […]

Forget FPS and polygon crunching, we want one of these ASUS EAH3850 just for its sheer logic-defying properties. ASUS really took AMD’s CrossFireX multi-GPU capabilities and ran with them, stuffing a ludicrous trio of GPUs onto a single “concept” card. Three RV670 cores power the setup, and it’s kept cool by some […]

Filed under: CellphonesThe last we’d heard, the Indian government had ruled out the threat of a Blackberry ban if RIM didn’t allow it to snoop on messages, but it looks like some overzealous bureaucrat is getting his way after all: the Department of Telecom has issued a 15-day deadline for RIM to either open up […]
