Almost immediately after Nintendo’s Wii firmware update that enabled USB keyboard support, Logitech, the king of peripherals, announced their new Wii ready keyboard.
Though I don’t own a Wii myself, typing on a keyboard seems a lot more pragmatic than waggling a remote around with an on-screen keyboard. However, this Logitech keyboard, while all dolled up in curvy white plastic, is nothing more than the Classic Keyboard 200. This model is just Logitech’s basic USB keyboard.
Nonetheless, this baby is only available in Japan from Logitech, or should I say, Logicool; which is Logitech’s Japanese name. Import it now, if you feel the urge.

Well, would you look at that. A Target store in Haverhill, MA has one of those Xbox 360 Arcade getups we’ve heard a thing or two about lately. If our eyes don’t deceive us, that blurry pricetag is showing off a $280 pricetag, which isn’t too surprising no matter how exciting a $250 tag would’ve been. Who knows how much more evidence it’s going to take for Microsoft to finally fess up to this one, but we’re enjoying the spy shots while they last. There’s another pic after the break.
[Thanks, Paul A.]

Make no mistake, this isn’t the first time a religious symbol has been integrated into a digital audio player, but unlike the iBelieve, this thing is actually, you know, real. Destined to be sold in bulk quantities to youth groups everywhere, the Cross MP3 Player is hardly designed by coincidence, and comes with 4GB of internal memory, a two-color LCD, built-in speaker, FM tuner, integrated mic, seven equalizer modes and a multi-language menu for those overseas mission trips. Fightin’ the good fight will only cost you $48.14, but you can whittle that down even more by purchasing these things by the hundreds. Check out a couple more shots after the jump.

Predating the carputer by easily two decades (not counting KITT, of course), this ‘79 Buick Riviera would have clearly elevated you to alpha status in your elementary school. Featuring what appears to be a Sears Atari 2600 clone and a 13-inch CRT with a custom fake-ice RIVIERA logo, there’s no wonder Kevin, the owner, says this whip is his “absolute pride and joy.” Check a couple more shots after the break.

A class action lawsuit has been brought against T-Mobile that is trying to prevent them from collecting those dreaded early-termination fees. T-Mobile filed to have the lawsuit thrown out but that request was denied. T-Mobile had good reason for asking it to be thrown out, stating very simply that customers originally agreed to these terms so why should they let them off the hook now.
As much as I hate to side the with “big” guy here, I kind of feel like they are right. After all the customer did sign on and agree to pay the termination fee should they decide to cancel early. On the other hand I do think there is some room for improvement with how they work. A situation where the termination fees were pro-rated would be ideal, this would take care of the wireless companies and also be a much nicer situation for customers that decide to leave early.

Continuing its push into greener computing, IBM today announced the launch of its so-called “Mainframe Gas Gauge,” which promises to let its server customers monitor their exact energy consumption in real time. What’s more, IBM also announced that it’ll begin publishing typical energy consumption figures for its z9 mainframe systems, following a recent EPA report that advised server makers to do just that. That data will be collected from some 1,000 servers around the world (a process that actually began in May), each of which employ sensors to monitor actual energy and cooling statistics, giving IBM enough info to determine the average watts per hour consumed and the total watts per unit. Individual server users will also get weekly reports on their machines’ energy consumption in addition to the real time data, and they’ll be able to make use of a new “Power Estimator Tool” to help them determine the most efficient means of expanding their server farms.

Usually laptops don’t have a long battery life, 4 or 5 hours is just about the maximum. However, NEC has recently upgraded their line of laptops, and now the VersaPro UltraLite Type VC VY10A C-4 features an incredible 14.5 hours of battery life.
The battery in this laptop powers a 1.06GHz Core 2 Duo processor that is coupled with an ultra low battery mode to generate that 14.5 hours of juice. Additionally, it weighs just 2.1 pounds, is just an inch thick, sports a 12-inch screen, 1GB RAM, 40GB hard drive, and can run Vista or XP Pro.
Unfortunately, there is no word on pricing or availability at this time, but hopefully, it will be coming out soon for a reasonable price.

In today’s episode of “no surprises here,” we look at a recent study published by Piper Jaffray & Company which attempts to take an intimate look inside the minds of high schoolers across the US. As you’d probably expect, none of the results were all that shocking. When asked about MP3 players, some 82-percent of those that already owned some form of DAP stated that it was an iPod, which was slightly up from last fall. Additionally, 64-percent of those surveyed admitted to downloading music illegally, which may actually be an (ever-so-slightly) positive figure considering that the percentage actually dropped from 72-percent in 2006. As for the iPhone, just 3-percent of students claimed that they owned one, but nearly 10-percent stated that they were looking to pick one up “within the next six months.”
