You know how it feels rather hot when you put your laptop on your lap. It could be that your battery has ran amok or you’ve laid your laptop on your lap for too long. It probably hurts too after a while. Sooooo, Futura Laptop stand from LapWorks is the answer for you. I haven’t seen much of these stands sold in the market but this stand seems to be pretty sturdy. I don’t know about comfort though because the laptop stand does not exactly conform to your lap so, while it may help take the weight of your laptop off your lap, it is also adding weight to your lap when you hook your laptop on it.
Anyway, it’s the heat that concerns us, no?
Price is very reasonable for the Futura Lap Protector at only $30.

I should write this in Fashion.3Yen because it is part of accessories but, it’s not just accessories. This PC security ring is more than meets the eye. It won’t transform into an autobots though but the wearer of the ring will be notified if there is a breach on their PC. This security ring consists of a base station that is tied to your PC, so as soon as you wonder off a certain proximity, your PC’s base station will be notified and all your files and programs will be securely locked, until you get back. So if there is anyone snooping around your work station, they can’t really do much.
Office espionage much anyone?
This is a pretty cool tool to have around. You don’t have to wear it, I know it’s bulky, just put it in your trouser pockets or your handbag geez :P
The ring is not out yet, what you see in the picture is just a prototype.
You can read more about it at SlashGear.

Calling all pink lovers out there, Fujitsu is going pink with their newest laptop and I think it’s going to make some girly girl happy. It weighs only 2.63pounds and has a 9 hour battery live so you can chat with you friends or do your homework, all together on your pink lappy without a fuss. The screen is only 10.6 inches, it’s no biggy if you’re not really using it for graphics or for work. It’s useful to carry around and showing it off to your friends while you check out what Paris’ new dig is in the cell. :P
You can get one from $1599 – $2000, depending on what you want in there. The basics would probably include 1Gg of Ram and 60Gig of space to start you off.

The Sony Vaio CR series is finally getting serious with their release new line thin notebooks. Actually, I thought they looked kinda attractive with all the color schemes and options. You can expect a glossy finish in a silvery frame to give it style and chic-ness. Anyhow, all these exteriors means nothing to me. It’s what’s inside that counts. The Sony Vaio CR series will include a Core2Duo processor (of course), a decent graphics card of Intel GMA X3100, a resolution of 1280 x 800 resolution, and 2GB of RAM. However, since this is a portable laptop, the screen size is a 14inch one and it’s also widescreen.
Personally, I wouldn’t go for any widescreens below 15inches. A 14 inch wide screen is too distorted, the fonts are too small and everything just seems cramp to me. I just bought myself a wide screen laptop from acer as well, it’s 17” but it’s pretty cool because it’s wide and uncramp. I saw the 15inch one and it looked just about the right size and that any lower it would threaten the space that comes with a widescreen.
Anyway, enough of my rambling. The Sony Vaio CR will be out later this month (June 2007) and will be priced at $1350. Buy it for the brand and the style, although I wouldn’t recommend it for comfort of the eyes.

A Japanese company, Thanko, has created a keyboard for sirensilent typing. I guess it would appeal to places like the library or a house with a finicky baby. The Silent Keyboard is layed out with silicon spring that produces about 60db, a sound our ear cannot catch I would assume, as compared to 30db that a normal keyboard produces.
The funny thing is, the product code for this Silent Keyboard in Thanko is Siren. Hence, the puns above :P
It’s on sale now for $33.17, oddly numbered but hey…if you order it now, you’ll be able to give it as a father’s day gift :)

In my previous post, I wrote about Toshiba’s Protege R500 and how it has a 7mm thick DVD burner, well, this post is dedicated to that thin burner for various reasons. 1) it’s the thinnest in the world currently as it beats the earlier 9.5mm ones by some other company and 2)it weighs only 99grams.
Seriously, this addition is going to be hot with everyone these days because who doesn’t want to be lighter, better and faster?
Akihabara was the one who took the R500 apart and checked out the 7mm DVD burner!
This is Toshiba’s ultra thin laptop that is only 2.4lbs. This is significantly lighter for a normal sized laptop. Each unit features a 12.1 inch LED backlit display and comes with a built-in optical drive. It is the ONLY laptop to include a 7mm thin optical drive, mind you.
Look at how thin the Portege R500 looks from the sides. It’s crazily thin and it will probably fit anywhere, which is the reason why they call it ultraportable :)
According to the guys at Gizmodo who did a review on the Portege R500, who had a R500 to play with for a month said that the laptop’s pretty hardy even though it’s so light. That’s a very good call, so gather $1999 and buy yourself one. For that price, i hardly think it’s expensive at all – it’s a pretty good deal considering what’s involved.
Check out their Press Release.
No it’s not a phone for mice. It’s a dual purpose phone that Sony has come up with it. INGENIUS i tell you. Who wouldn’t want a computer mouse that is also a phone?? It’s the most decent idea since sliced bread!
This phone is only a available in Japan so people like me who are not in Japan can kiss my big bottom about ever getting one. *sulks*
Let me tell you a bit more about the phone. It’s actually a Skype phone, not a cellphone with GPS, digital camera and what not. It makes more sense that way cos otherwise who would want to buy this cellphone that acts as a mouse? So yes, it’s a Skype phone that transform into a mouse and into a phone again at a flip.
Say AYE! to Sony Mouse Phone.
