Fly Powered Gadgets

UK designers James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau, have created “carnivorous robots”. Be it a firefly, house fly, and even a mouse, these objects can extract the life out of a carcasse. Using special fuel cells, the gadgets are powered by the bodies of these insects or mice.

Windows_7_packaging copy

Here’s the tip: If you really want Windows 7, place your order tonight, since anyone who has a PC running  XP or Vista will not be eligible for the limited time only, half-priced offer, after the pre-order session.

I will be giving out the sites that you should visit to place an order. For anyone outside the USA, you can go to a site like Amazon, and select your language.

Here are the links for anyone in the USA:

Amazon

Best Buy

Costco

Fry’s Electronics

Office Depot

Office Max

Sam’s Club

Staples

Tiger Direct

Walmart

NewEgg

Nebraska Furniture Mart (Furniture Mart?)

Below, you can comment on how your Windows 7 pre-order experience was and what you expect from Windows 7!

Finally: Microsoft Word for iPhone!

Microsoft Word is now availble for the iPhone for $5. You can now create, edit,  and view MS Word documents. The name of the program is Dataviz Documents To Go. It doesn’t have Excel, but it has to be bought as an upgrade. But if you buy now, you can get a free upgrade for Excel! There is also a $10 version that supports Exchange Attachments and can synchronize them with the Exchange server.

Last year, the Macbook Unibody was announced, this year it has been removed to the Macbook Pro Line. It uses the same unibody enclosure, but when I held it, it felt much more solid than the previous version. An SD card slot has been added and Firewire 800 is back ( who uses Firewire??)  The screen quality is much better, but the pictures don’t show it, dumb iPhone 3G camera! Thankfully the new iPhone will have a 3.0 megapixel camera.

Back to the laptop, it’s very fast, with a boot time of less than a minute. Keyboard feels softer than previous generation. Overall everything else except the processor, screen, and price remains the same.

iPhone 3Gs Pre-Orders Already Sold Out!

At&T reports that the new iPhone 3Gs is already sold out!  People who want to place new orders are told that they will have to wait up to 2 weeks to get a phone. For those customers, they have to wait in line, starting at 7AM.

Still in line, huh?

These people are better off since others will have to wait at Apple and AT&T stores that open at 8 AM.

I’d rather wait till later to get a phone…
