Just after seeing how the Nintendo DS’s touch panel could be used to scratch things up, along comes a full-blown turntable setup that relies heavily on interactions with touchscreens. Dreamed up and designed by Scott Hobbs, the ATTIGO TT enables DJs to manipulate sounds via sensors, and the added visual effects are fantastically beautiful, if not useful.

The Washingtonpost reviews the Nokia 6555 and writes, “On the imaging front, the Nokia 6555’s 1.3-megapixel camera does a solid job reproducing colors but scored poorly in terms of resolution and noise. You probably won’t be framing any photos you take with the 6555…Overall, the Nokia 6555 offers users a solid feature set for an entry-level phone, but with a few drawbacks you might expect from any phone you’re getting for free with a contract. The lack of multimedia functionality is an annoyance, but realistically you probably aren’t going to find a great music or camera phone at this price.” Read more about the Nokia 6555.

Remember when the Wrightspeed X1 electric car beat both a Ferrari 360 Spyder and Porsche Carerra GT off the line? Well, ex-Cisco and DEC engineer Ian Wright is back with his SR-71 that he says will do 0-60 in a brain-numbing 2.5 seconds. The new electric speed dart should show up in about 18 months and could even get a street-legal version in 36 months.

Ever wondered how Cyclops aka Scott Summers viewed the world from his ruby quartz visor? Sure, he isn’t as manly as Wolverine, but he will definitely be a person whom mom would approve of you bringing home. Get a glimpse into his world with the Cyclops Visor replica.

This Cyclops Visor replica is authentically duplicated from the actual 20th Century Fox filming prop. Ruby quartz being a little too expensive to use, this replica has red iridium polarized sunglass lens (which means they function as regular shades, too). The Cyclops Visor Replica folds to a convenient size and can be stored in the included full metal display box.

by Joshua Fruhlinger, posted May 24th 2008 at 11:41AM In the latest of what’s becoming a long history of tweaks to the Meizu M8 interface, Meizu CEO Jack Wong unleashed some new shots of the upcoming UI to his adoring fans. The new interface is designed by eico design — who have also worked with Google, Lenovo, and Philips — and looks to have a visually-satisfying sparkle animation for selected items (unless the battery above is just leaking). Another addition appears to be LED-styled status updates to applications, like number of missed calls and unread messages.

If you’re someone who is always in the need of articles then you can understand the amount of time and efforts it takes to come up with well-researched quality articles and if you’re someone who is not that good with English language then you know how hard it could be to write a quality article. So, is there a way to avoid these problems and generate articles on the move?

Fortunately, there is a solution to these problems and the solution is an online article re-write tool named as ‘BadArticle Article Rewriter’.

by Ryan Block, posted May 23rd 2008 at 9:43PM Looks like the FCC isn’t quite done collecting on spectrum auctions just yet, and Chairman Kevin Martin has apparently scheduled a vote for June 12th to decide the eventual fate of the the 25MHz swath of spectrum between 2155 and 2180MHz (affectionately referred to as AWS III, despite not being three times better than AWS). Apparently whomever snags the spectrum might need to be prepared to offer a “free service tier” (define that how you will) that would reach 50% of the population in the first four years and eventually 95% of the population by the time the license expires. But that’s just one possibility for what may happen to AWS III, which, of course, we’ll be tracking closely.

Things get even more interesting with chip maker Intel having plans to roll out its own SSD products before Q3 of this year is over, making it part of its upcoming Centrino 2 platform (Montevina). This new product line has been dubbed the Intel High Performance SSD and will mainly targeting enterprise, mid-range and high-end notebook markets. Both of these will be available in 1.8″ and 2.5″ sizes, hence their respective names of Client X18-M and Client X25-M, featuring a capacity of 80GB as well as a SATA interface. There are plans to increase the total storage space to 160GB before the year is over and even to 250GB by next year.

by Nilay Patel, posted May 23rd 2008 at 6:56AM Yeah, we have no idea who ever needed a monster laptop with dual independently-pivoting 13.3-inch screens, but if you’re feeling like living particularly large, there’s a Xentex Flip-pad Voyager prototype for sale on eBay right now for the bargain starting bid of $99. You’ll have to provide a custom hard drive cable and figure out how to boot it past the BIOS, but if you do, you’ll have ultimate giant laptop bragging rights over your friends — as well as an 850Mhz Athlon, 128MB of RAM, and a floppy drive. Yeah, we know you want one anyway. Some more pics past the break and at the read link. (Read the full post about ‘Xentex dual 13.3-inch screen laptop surfaces on eBay’…)
