It was, of course, inevitable. For it is written, in unibody iTablets carved from single blocks of aluminum and carried down from Mount Jobs, that Every iPod Shalt Have a Case.
And so mote it be, this time for the new button-free Shuffle. Oddly enough, we often use the term “condom" to describe these prophylactic, slip-on rubber protectors, but this time it’s pretty close to the truth. Accessory maker iLove is selling these rubbers in four-packs (presumably even an iPod add-on maker balks at selling one such tiny sheath for $13). The pack contains four delicious colors, with “easy access for your port and switches" for her pleasure.
There is also a twin-pack for those of us who feel less lucky, although these are in hard plastic, giving the shuffle the aspect of a disposable Bic lighter. These packs will also be $13. Both available from April.

Whenever I’m in the Apple store, I can’t resist drooling over the Mac Mini. I already have a tiny PC that does basically the same thing as a Mac Mini hooked up to my TV, but it’s nowhere near as pretty as the Mac Mini. I know, it’s sad to admit that I want an electronic device mostly because of how it looks. However, let’s face it, I’m not the only Mac fan that way. A large part of the reason Apple products are such a pleasure to own, is because they have such a nice sleek look to them. The down side with Apple products is that they lack a decent range of colors.
They all are white or gray with black accents. All around, nowhere near colorful, but we overlook it because we love the products too much. Those that can’t take anymore will usually resort to skins to spice up their laptops or iPods. Sadly though, there’s not much of a way to add color to the Mac Mini, that is until now. Computer Choppers is not offering to customize that bright white Mac Mini for you and give it a bit of color. The custom jobs start out at $199. They offer 16 different color choices and then 6 different patterns (including camouflage). It’s not something that would be cheap, but if you’re tired of bland colors and have some extra cash it’d be the way to go.

ThinkGeek seems to have a penchant for remote controlled helicopters, and their latest attempt in this field is the Dark Blade 3-Channel R/C Helicopter. This surprisingly affordable $29.95 device is an original ThinkGeek creation, featuring a “futuristic drop-ship style design with precise flying characteristics and an innovative rear propeller system.” In addition, it is touted to be the smallest 3-channel R/C copter in the world at the moment, so we won’t recommend leaving the windows open while you fly this thing indoors lest it crashes to the ground with a strong gust of wind.
The Dark Blade 3-Channel R/C Helicopter has dual rotors on the top which spin in opposite directions. These opposite spinning blades cancel out uncontrolled torque making for incredibly stable flight. For forward and reverse motion the tail rotor then blows up or down, pitching the copter forward or backward and causing it to move in that direction. It’s a great control system and a pleasure to fly.
The rate of diminishing returns here ain’t too shabby after all – a 10 minute charge time results in a 7 minute fly time, which is much better compared to others we’ve seen in the market. We’d strongly recommend you getting rechargeable batteries to go along with it though, as half a dozen AA batteries are required at any one time to keep the whole gig going.

Since Valentine’s Day is coming up, I usually like to report on gadgets that will bring couples closer together. It is my pleasure to report on a cool gadget that will settle an age-old argument between husbands and wives world wide: leaving the toilet seat up.
Ironically, it wasn’t some big electronics giant who made this, but a group of students from Skjern Technical College in Denmark. Somehow it can end the endless comic routine without using additional energy, but my sources do not say how.
In all honesty, I think they might have copied technology that I once saw on an episode of Home Improvement. Remember the episode where Tim wanted to remodel the bathroom with a pink Jacuzzi hottub, and didn’t do it right? Then Jill was mad at him, but Wilson stepped in and it all worked out.
Yeah, I realize that pretty much describes any episode of Home Improvement, but the episode ended with Tim telling Jill that the bathroom was a woman’s bathroom. To prove his point, he flushed the toilet, and the seat automatically went down. Slowly, if I might add.
I guess they get Home Improvement in Denmark. Hopefully, this group of students will receive high grades for their efforts on settling the age old couple-debate, but if this works as good as I hear, then some company needs to seriously market this thing.

Bang on target, the new version of Ubuntu Linux is available for our downloading pleasure. Amongst various changes it sports updates to the installer, improved networking, and a new ‘Mobile USB’ version geared towards the blossoming netbook market. Grab a copy from the Ubuntu website, and check out Linux Format’s hands-on look. Or the one at Simple Thoughts. Or the one at PolishLinux. And probably a few other websites as well.

Looking for a radio-controlled helicopter to go with the cool looking R/C Stealth Boat? Maybe this black affordable 3-channel mini indoor chopper will be right up your alley.
The Black Stealth features 3-channels, allowing it to go up and down, rotate right and left and move forwards and backwards. Unlike most of the small 2-Channel copters on the market which are always moving forward with somewhat twitchy controls, the Black Stealth is a breath of fresh air.
Here’s a video of the Black Stealth helicopter in action:
The Black Stealth Helicopter has dual rotors on the top which spin in opposite directions. These opposite spinning blades cancel out uncontrolled torque making for incredibly stable flight. For forward and reverse motion the tail rotor then blows up or down, pitching the copter forward or backward and causing it to move in that direction. It’s a great control system and a pleasure to fly.
Features:
- Easiest to fly, most precise controlling R/C copter yet
- Three channel control gives you fully proportional up/down, right/left and forward/backward control
- Sleek black plastic body. No foam cockpit
- Choose from two different channels and fly with a friend
- Both channel copters are black in color, a flashing red or blue LED lets you know which is yours
- Dual counter-rotating blades give incredible hovering and stability
- Helicopter Charges from Remote
- Easy to adjust trim dial (rather than pushbuttons)
- 7 Minute fly time, 10 minute charge time
- Requires 6 AA batteries, not included
- Copter is 15.5 cm in length with a top blade diameter of 13.5 cm
The Black Stealth 3-Channel R/C Helicopter is available from ThinkGeek for $29.99.

After fixing a few specific bugs, Haiku now runs on the Asus EeePC – the 701 model, that is. “It is with great pleasure that I’m able to announce that Haiku (rev26666) runs on the Asus EeePC! I own a 701 model, and have sporadically been testing out Haiku revisions on the machine. For months I’ve been unable to boot Haiku, but somewhere along the line, the bug I filed got squashed, and Haiku will boot off the machine’s internal 4gb fixed disk!” Wireless, LAN, and the APM do not work, but sound does thanks to the OSS driver. Installation is a tad bit complicated (it involves booting Haiku in a VM in Windows XP and copying the contents of a nightly build over to a real hardware BFS partition, and adding Haiku to the ntldr), but at least it works.
