I'll take the responsibility of announcing
free unlocking software for the Apple iPhone. We'd heard stories of kids who can unlock the iPhone using their dark gifts, but where does that leave the general public? Stuck in a service agreement, that's where.
Yes, Steve Jobs may have gotten word and pitied all of the early iPhone buyers. Yes, he may have
given them all $100 back to console their empty wallets.

With all of the Apple buzz going around, I understand that it's hard to keep up with the competition. But I have to admit, Sony, this thing looks a little strange. As the details were released about this
new MP3 player, the Rolly, it has been said that this device aims to offer something completely different. It think it's safe to say they've certainly accomplished that much.
As you can see, it has sort of an egg shape.

Or at least two modified ways to eat. There's a pair of new 'gadgets' on the market that aren't particularly important enough to get separate posts, but I'm happy to bring them both to you here for your viewing pleasure.
For the first, you can now eat like a truly wasteful rich person while staying within your budget. Well, staying within your budget if your budget includes $40 for two sets of five chopsticks, anyway.

It may not be your typical "gadget", per se, but this new chewing gum is worth a quick look. Just as the title indicates, it is non-stick gum, specifically. This doesn't mean that the gum is in some form other than the stick shape, but rather, it won't adhere to anything. For example, how many times have you walked the city streets just to step into a big, pink gum wad?
So who's behind all this? A guy by the name of Professor Terence Cosgrove, a British chemist. Professor Cosgrove's company has apparently made a cheap polymer which will make the resulting gum hydrophilic.

The title pretty much gives it away; ROSIE is the lovechild of Apple and the common, oversized coffee table. So far, some seem to hate this thing while others think it's innovative and chic. I'll admit, I'm oddly attracted to it. But then, don't we all sort of want at least one
massive, pointless coffee table in our living rooms? I think yes.

Ever wonder what would happen if there was a mash-up between HP and Voodoo? You probably haven't, but the result is a cool gaming PC nonetheless. The Blackbird looks fierce and has been built for performance, including some pretty unique features and tricks.
This PC is said to be the first in its class to use full system liquid cooling.

You knew it was coming; the new suite of drool-worthy Apple iPods have arrived, and they are looking spiffy as ever. Of course, there's plenty of things I'm not so fond of to balance out the good. With that, let us dive into a brief analysis of the new iPods.
We'll start with the smallest, and the least exciting: The iPod Shuffle. There isn't a whole lot to be said here; the Shuffle's previous design was simple, and there's hardly anything to redesign.

This clock is really cool. It seems like a normal black of wood, but turn it on, and bright red digital numbers appear! How does it happen? I don't know, but the mystery clock is made by Discovery, so I'm sure there is some crazy science behind it. Here are some cool specs:
- Looks just like a simple block of wood
- LED digits appear on the front of the block
- Easy-to-read red digits
- Time and date alternate every 10 seconds
- 12 or 24-hour time display

This is a great setup for amateur photographers, or people who run their own online stores. The kit consists of two backdrops, a compact light box with an integrated diffuser screen, and two high output lights with adjustable, retractable legs. Remember, this all fits on your desk, so for someone who works from home, or can't always be in the studio, this kit would be ideal.
Imagine how much more trusted you would be selling things on sites like Ebay if you took pictures of the products you were selling, rather than just stealing pictures off of the company's own site! This useful package is available, in whole, for only $80.
