Deal of the week: Wenger Swiss Army Rolling Laptop Case
I carry around a MacGeiver collection of crap in my computer bag that makes it really interesting when traveling through airport security. All that weight in the bag makes it too hard to carry using a shoulder bag or backpack for the time being. I’ve been shopping online for a week looking for the perfect bag, when walking through Costco, I stumble across this sweet little setup…. You get a roller bag that can easily carry enough for an overnight trip along with the notebook to boot. It was too good a deal to pass up so I figured some of you might be looking for a great bag too…. It’s quite sturdy and knowing that it fits in the overhead or under the seat in front of you when traveling by air is a real plus…. Right now you can pick it up at Costco or eBay pretty easily. I can’t say how long this deal will last, so you better act quick if you want it!

Prevent Lap Burn
Anyone remember the Titanium PowerBook? Yeah, I have 2 and lapburn scars to prove it. Boy would this have come in handy! [ via Gizmodo ] Prevent Lap Burn: If hot laptops have ever been a problem, here’s the perfect, simple solution. Cooler Master NotePal all-aluminum coolers work for 15-and 17-inch laptops and even have a range designed for Apple’s widescreens. The NotePal takes down heat with twin 2.8-inch fans (that have a life expectancy of 3000 hours), which also help with airflow around your laptop, shielding it from any direct heat. And bonus—it’s fairly quiet as well. The NotePal is powered directly from your laptop and has two 2.0 USB ports and an on/off power button for the fans.

Clarion’s In-Car Multimedia System at CES
Now this is T-I-T-E (tight). My big question is…can you hook up a Mac Mini to this beyotch? [ via Gizmodo ] Clarion’s In-Car Multimedia System at CES: New and improved (like just about everything at this show) the Clarion VRX765VD will make life in your car a dream, and shut up any crying child in minutes (not guaranteed by the company, unfortunately). With a 7-inch flip-out touchscreen to play with, the DVD multimedia system comes with a soil-resistant (I love that. Because we’re all soilers, aren’t we?) touchscreen that controls DVD menu options. It also sports an improved user interface that now offers video playback for the Video iPod. Also includes 200 watts of max power, 24- Bit D/A Converter and a single play DVD mechanism that plays DVD Video, CD Audio and Video CD and a bunch of other audio formats including MP3/ WMA and encoded CDs.

Live From CES: The Sony Reader
Wow, can you imagine being able to carry an entire reference library of books, technical briefs, white papers, magazines, etc…all in a little compact and READABLE form factor?… This is the Sony reader that uses the display technology from E-Ink I’ve been hearing so much about…. I walked up to the counter, looked at the text on the screen and asked, “So when will you have working units to play with?”… I mistakenly though the text on the screen was some kind of plastic overlay—that’s how ink-like it looked. Then the PR rep increased the text size, searched through the table of contents and showed me some Manga comics…. The battery life, as they are selling it, is equivalent to “7,500 page turns, avid readers can devour a dozen bestsellers plus War and Peace without ever having to recharge.” The books will be available through the Connect Store, and there is some Connect software for managing your books (so far this is the only drawback). Random House, HarperCollins Publishers, Penguin-Putnam, Simon & Schuster and Time Warner Book Group are all on board with titles, along with Manga publisher Tokyopop.

Mac mini with Front Row in a Ford F-150
Ok, so now i have an excuse to upgrade to that F350 Dualie I have been foaming at the mouth for. Already have the F-150, so trading in for another F-150 seems silly no?
[ via MacNN ] Mac mini with Front Row in a Ford F-150: Car news site Leftlane News has a report on one Mac user’s project to install a Mac mini in a Ford F-150. The user makes use of Apple’s Front Row software and a Keyspan remote for easy navigation. He placed the Mini out of sight, and also installed a 10.2-inch LCD touch screen. The user also installed some GPS software to serve as a navigation system. In January, we noted a Washington Post article suggesting the Mac mini “comfortably fits in my car’s glove compartment.” Later, we reported that a New York-based company had plans to install the new Mac mini into car dashboards. -
Booq announces large capacity Python XL bag for 17″ PowerBooks
The mother of all PowerBook bags! [ via TUAW / MacMinute ] Booq announces large capacity Python XL bag for 17″ PowerBooks: Booq has done it again and announced the Python XL, a capacious and compartmentalized rugged backpack for the 17″ PowerBook. A waterproof zipper, water-resistant ballistic nylon exterior, seatbelt nylon straps, rigid laptop compartment and pockets and compartments galore make up this $199 monster of a backpack. The bag has room for a water bottle, a dedicated no-scratch iPod pocket, a stack of books 6″ high and more. There’s even a small “clip-on accessory bag” they call Ecto which has room for the little stuff like your checkbook, and iPod, cell phone, etc. I’ve owned a Booq pack before, and I can vouch for their construction. These things are built really well, but their premium is sometimes tough to swallow. Head over to Booq’s product site for more pictures of the pack and what you can stuff into it and make your own decision.

Hang on to your eyeballs! Epic 2015
What a great find by Jeff Nolan! This is some serious stuff…it is both disturbing, but strangely intriguing. Given the circumstances of Hurricane Katrina, if there was some kind of GPS and satellite based transmission system in place, the ideas presented here (using the wifi iPod) would have been invaluable. I think our federal government should very seriously consider opening those satellites to communications services like this that are not land based and depend on something so archaic as an antenna or tower. Googlezon, iPod and GPS will rule the world!!!
Hang on to your eyeballs! Epic 2015: this video clip is disturbing. Link: Hang on to your eyeballs!
