This would be ideal for anyone who was brought up in the sixties or someone who loves to surf and we are not just talking about the web here.

This is part of the Cooler Master workshop brand and inside is a high end piece of kit, the CSX series, while the paint job is by Smooth creations, a great name and brilliant job too.

Priced at $899 to $1299

The world domination continues, with Google opening up their new offices in the capital of Egypt, Cairo.

As you can see from this image there has been no expense spared on this new development that will house the Egyptian head office of Google! I think it may not be the real Google!!

This is either a great way of looking after customers by providing the latest news stories while you fill up or it is an ingenious way of making spend more money by putting you off from looking at how much fuel you are putting into your car.

I can see this causing hold ups and all sorts of problems at the pumps during the busy periods, but this is the age of technology and I suppose that we should be getting used to seeing this in all the places that we visit.

I would spend the whole evening there and not bother to go home.

It’s not a great idea this, as we all know what happens when they become aware!

So this is the I Sobot mini robot, its just like its big brother but just more compact about six and half inches high, it has a bow and arrow to hurt people with, which is just dangerous. The robot pre-programmed with around 200 moves and can talk over 200 words.

He costs around $200

Check out the interview with Bill Gates on SiteHoppin. Interesting.

In the first segment of our Bill Gates CES 2008 interview, we asked the difference between Apple’s approach and Microsoft’s approach when it comes to product releases. Apple steers clear of products that might be iffy in their first iteration—portable music rentals; DVR—whereas Microsoft rolls out stuff that may not be quite ready. Bill’s response is illuminating, direct and humble. [

This is a must for the Homer Simpson types who just want to laze around all day long, while they watch the television or just take it easy.

The bag is on wheels and has a remote which will enable the person with it, to control where it is and who get the nice cool beer. The bag is collapsible for easy storage and will hold up to six bottles of beer or cans etc.

Wow, check this out. DYMO’s DiscPainter can help you create professional quality CD covers so you can keep working from home like me. :p

The DYMO DiscPainter creates excellent artwork for your CD’s and DVD’s, and it does it in a speedy fashion, but the real downfall of this device is the cost of operation. The device itself costs $280. The ink cartridges cost $39 a piece, which puts the the cost per disc at $0.39 for the cost of ink alone. You also have to factor in the cost of the CD’s, DVD’s, or miniDisc’s. DYMO recommends using waterproof glossy or matte finish CD-R’s, which can cost about $0.50 a pop. The manufacturer claims a lifespan of the DiscPainter at 2,000 uses. So when you do the math, you are looking at roughly $1.00 per disc (printer, CD/DVD’s, ink).

Yes, Google is planning to take over the world with its Phone operating system, Android! As an experienced embedded technologist, this seems like it will blow up not because they have great technology, but they could market it so crazy.

Wistron NeWeb Corp, a Taiwanese company, was selected as a CES Innovations 2008 Award Honoree for their Wireless Handset technology. Offering a full set of applications for creating and editing documents, email (via pull protocols only), PIM, PC sync and web browsing over GSM as well as WiFi and Bluetooth.

Using Google’s Android and offering built-in 128 MB high capacity memory and a memory card slot supporting up to 2GB for greater storage space, the device has a standard Qwerty Keyboard and features a large 2.5” QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) TFT-LCD Display with 262K Colors Touch Screen. The device has software that allows you to take still photos and MPEG4, H.263, and WMA video record and play with the built-in 2M pixels (1600 x 1200) Camera and plays MP3s for music support as well as having voice recording and playback capability.

Looks really cool but is it really any better than my Blackberry or iPhones? Probably not at this point. As cellphone technology is highly competitive, I doubt Google will be able to successively support those phones. Well, in this case, it’s not really a Googlephone since it’s only using Google’s Operating System. But this is probably as close as it gets for now…

FYI, Google’s OS Android is basically a stripped down Linux. (Hail Linux!) That’s one good thing huh?

Android relies on Linux version 2.6 for core system services such as security, memory management, process management, network stack, and driver model. The kernel also acts as an abstraction layer between the hardware and the rest of the software stack.

The greatest part about NOT going to CES this year? I get to sit on my butt and read all these tech blog write about them. Well, it’s good that I am acting sorta as a “human filter” to filter out all the crappy stuff and post the best on Zedomax.

Anyways, you can get a really good overview of Sony’s CES press conference over at Engadget. I think this is one of the longest Engadget posts I’ve seen in awhile.

Here’s an excerpt from the blog post:

4:53PM - Talking about the exit from microprojection, and focusing on flat-panel. “According to NPD, Sony was the leader in market leader in dollars and units — even with the highest average selling price.” Wait, is this guy calling his customers suckers? Two new models: 40 and 46-inch, as well as the 32 and 37-inch 1080p models with DMex. “Ten of these new sets will be full HD 1080p — which as you’ll remember Sony created and popularized years ago.” No, Sony, no. You didn’t “invent” 1080p HDTV. Nice try.

I agree, Sony does suck at trying to sell itself…
