Sony Reader PRS-505HQ.

Very cool!

The Reader Digital Book just got more intriguing. Now you can enjoy 14 free eBook titles from Harlequin and protect your device with a popular “Cross Your Heart” patterned protective cover from SkinIt. The thin membrane not only adds a unique look, it also safeguards from dust and scratches. With the Reader Digital Book, on-the-go reading is expanded significantly, as you can store about 160 eBooks or hundreds more with optional removable memory cards. Its portable size makes it the perfect travel companion, allowing you to read a variety of books whenever and wherever you want. With thousands of eBook titles available at The eBook Store from Sony, you can choose to download new releases, classics and popular book titles as well as view other document formats such as Adobe® PDF10, RTF, TXT, BBeB® and Microsoft® Word. Its long battery life lasts up to 7,500 continuous page turns, and the amazing paper-like screen technology is easy on the eyes.

Long-lasting battery, cool design…  Maybe I should think about buying one of these…  I didn’t realize this, but this toy is $300.  You’d think this would be much more.

Definitely something to consider for myself for my birthday or something.

Truly an awesome toy.  Oh, and useful!

P.S. I’m not gay.  Yes, I hate that color, too :)

It’s a well-known thing, about grapes and microwave.

FCC

Gizmodo posted a very interesting article on ways to find new gadgets. “How To Discover Secret Gadgets Through the FCC” talk about just that.

The article gives you detailed information on everything you need to navigate FCC site and find just about the coolest new thing that you can brag to your friends about.  Very nifty if you ask me.

Some tips and tricks, for example:

Grantee Code
Every company has a three-character code under which all their filings appear. While knowing this code is not mandatory, it is an easier way to bring up search results. Here’s a quick list of codes for the hottest or most innovative companies:
• Apple – BCG
• Nokia – PYA
• Samsung – A3L
• Sony – AK8
• Sony Ericsson – PY7
• Nintendo – BKE
• LG – BEJ
• Microsoft – C3K

Well, go look for yourself.  And don’t forget to visit Gizmodo, they have lots of cool things like that.

Ha ha ha!

This is a nice addon for my Vista sidebar.

Bush

This is kinda nifty and makes me smile every time I look at it.  Get more info here or download the plugin here (download was really slow for me… Why’s that?)

With the Republican presidential nomination all but sewn up, and the Democrats with hopefully no more than another week to go, the next president, whomever he or she may be, is on the way.

Enjoy!  I know I did :)
