Woohoo! My iPhone just went into Safe Mode for the first time! I think I went a little crazy. Ah, well, it's a learning experience, and I have no motorcycle to ride on this lovely day, so let's see if I can fix what I broke, or if I'll be reloading this puppy again. - MiɳiMagɘ (AlwaysMiniMage)

The camel spider stories began to spread during the 1990-91 Gulf War. Now, with the continued presence of U.S. forces in the Middle East, the stories are becoming legendary .. Many of the stories on the internet are completely untrue. These creatures are (usually) not dangerous to humans. But, dangerous or not, these creatures are horrifying to encounter. I pity anyone who encounters one for the first time. They actually aren't spiders at all, they're solpugids.. Along with spiders, they are members of the class Arachnida. - Cee Bee

Thank you, Rodfather. That eases the nightmare a little. - aldenoneil

These look cool. I wonder if they make good pets. - April Russo

So, what will they find? Another egg? A Russian doll? Sheldon? The Alien? ... - Foomandoonian

"The sequel to HP’s Mini-Note 2133 netbook has shown up on the company’s online store. Called the HP Mini 1000, the netbook measures less than 1-inch thick and weighs from 2.25lbs; it also has a new, black casing and appears to be intended as a more entry-level machine than the 2133. The new price certainly bears that out: the HP Mini 1000 netbook costs from just $399. Other specifications for the Mini 1000 are unknown, with the primary point of interest being its CPU. HP went with VIA’s C7-M processor for the Mini-Note 2133, a choice which pretty much singled it out among other netbooks; there are contrasting rumors now as to whether the HP Mini 1000 will instead use Intel’s 1.6GHz Atom processor or stick with VIAand adopt the new Nano chipset. It’s also believed to have a 10-inch screen. HP confirmed back in Julythat they were working on a new netbook with a lower purchase price than the 2133. Their first netbook, though relatively well received in reviews, was criticised for its cost compared to ASU - Cee Bee via Bookmarklet

this goes on sale weds 10.29 by the way - Cee Bee

Man this is sooooooo nice. - Parvez Halim

It's too bad, I just went to check it out, and just like everything else that's too good to be true, as soon as you start adding on the basic upgrades you are well over 500$ and even higher if you want this thing to work for you. The base model alone is 399$, but that's with only 512MB Memory, 8.9" display, and and 8GB HDD :-( - cmiper

"Japan retailers get the jump on the U.S. market today as they get to sell Dell's new laptot, the Inspiron Mini 12, before anyone here in the U.S. even gets to lay eyes upon it. While built-to-order models will be available in the states by mid-November, three retail chains in Japan (Bic Camera, Kujima and Sofmap) get the first crack at selling pre-configured versions of Dell's 12.1-inch take on the mini-note space. ... So what does this tech tidbit cost you? Between $500 and $600, depending on a couple configuration options. Yep, the Mini 12 teeters on the top-end of the netbook spectrum and, as a result, poses a very interesting question (well, to me, at least): When does a notebook officially start becoming a notebook? Hopefully, we'll have more of an answer for you before the Inspiron Mini 12 launches late-November." - RAPatton via Bookmarklet

Suggested to a friend to buy the other Inspiron and he bought it the day after, I was really impressed by the line of product. I'm looking to replace my PocketPC, this is definitively something that could replace it ;p Would too prefer XP and an SSD just for making the storage category updated a bit. - Zu aka ElijahBailey

the mini 9 looks like a great deal. i could totally use that as a "beater" pc for everyday use - Cee Bee

Anything I really give a damn about I post here. When I send out a Tweet that might start some kind of discussion, I feel it's wasted over there. :) - Steve Isaacs

IMAX after regular movie theater is a big let down considering so few scenes are actually IMAX. but i loved Heath Ledger and Bale. - Krista K

I'd love Bale reading the phone book but I do agree they overdid the voice. Still, Ledger, Eckhardt and Oldman were also all wonderful. - Abby Martin

We already knew that MSI's Wind U120 was coming this quarter. Now DigiTimes has pegged the launch to November. Available in white or black, DigiTimes' sources claim that the U120 should launch for roughly $552 with a built-in 3.5G data module, Atom N270 proc, 1GB memory, and a 120GB hard disk loaded with Windows XP. For its part, MSI did say that it will not be introducing a netbook with touchscreen due to the high cost (eh hem, hear that ASUS?). MSI does, however, plan to launch its second generation Wind netbook with "new innovations" at the beginning of March at CeBIT 2009. We're hoping for thought-control enabled by a quantum processor but expecting something more akin to a race to the bottom. - Parvez Halim via Bookmarklet

First the awesome emergency shoes, now another shoe-related technology from Japan: NTT, the country’s biggest telecommunications company, presents sandals that are able to generate electricity when walking. - Parvez Halim via Bookmarklet

The earphones, which feature a frequency response of 20Hz -20,000Hz and an impedance of 16Ω, come in five different colors for the devil part: red, pink, purple, magenta and of course black (the angel is white in all combinations). If you don’t live in Japan, you can order the earphones in this online shop (English) for $31 plus shipping costs. They will be available at the beginning of next month. - Parvez Halim via Bookmarklet
