Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop, Peripherals

Spider CleanerWe figure this is either a blessing or a curse, depending on your feelings about arachnids. The Itsy Bitsy Spider Cleaner attaches by its belly to your computer monitor. When your screen needs cleaning, pull the little bugger’s retractable cord to do the job. The spider’s tummy is velvet and can be cleaned for future usage. At a size of 2-inches and with a 24-inch cord, you can pre-order the spider for $10.00 and expect a 2 to 4 week delivery date.

HP Teases Mini 1000 Netbook

Posted by Aaron Zollo Categories: PC / Laptop, Portable Audio / Video

HP-Mini-1000

is now showing this new Mini 1000 Netbook on their online store.  The Mini 1000 is not yet available to purchase and when clicking HP’s link, it brings you to their main store where it is nowhere to be found.  They do however give you the price and some general specs.  The mini laptop sports a nice gloss black finish on the outside, with a matte black finish inside.  The price starts at $399 and comes in at 2.25 pounds, has a 10-inch screen and is under 1-inch thick.  We can assume the Mini 1000 will carry the Intel Atom processor, but there is no confirmation of that just yet.  If using an Atom processor, this Netbook from HP should provide a nice jump over previous Via chipsets in HP’s past offerings.  You should be able to do all the internet has to offer, including videos, music and more with a fullsize experience for such a small piece of gear.

Electrolux iBasket

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Household, Misc. Tech

iBasketAnything that shortens our clothes washing chores is fine with us. Guopeng Liang designed the iBasket for the Electrolux 2008 Design Lab Competition. Hamper-shaped, the prototype automatically washes once there is enough weight in it. With a wireless connection, it has a remote monitor and control of wash cycle frequency by PC and IM notification to PC or mobile device when your clothes are done. We only hope the final product won’t be transparent so we are forced to see our dirty laundry.
