Hasta La Gadget!

Look, we’ll level with you: we don’t know exactly what we’re looking at. After seeing that Mac mini pic yesterday, we were about 140 percent sure it was a classic Photoshop disaster. Now we don’t know what to think. One thing is for sure — this isn’t done with Photoshop. The above video was offered up by the original poster of the first pic to back up his or her claims of a “2009 Penryn” mini. Something feels fishy about this, but it’s hard to write off the video as pure sleep-deprivation-induced fantasy. So what do you guys think? Crazy mod, new mini, shared hallucination? Fire back in comments!

We know, you can’t wait to cuddle up with your Kindle 2 and have Tom read you a bedtime story while you turn pages 20 percent faster than before — and it looks like Amazon wants to alleviate your pain, because it’s just posted the entire user manual online for you.

The Yamaha RX-V765

The only Yamaha AV receiver we reviewed from the 2008 model year was the RX-V663, and although we were fans of its sound quality, it was tough to recommend. It had only two HDMI inputs; its upconversion quality was subpar; and the rear panel layout made it difficult to hook up your gear. Yamaha has announced its new 2009 of RX-V65 receivers, and we’re happy to see that most of the last year’s missteps look to have been addressed. Let’s take a quick look at the specs:

Yamaha RX-V365BL (also known as HTR-6230BL)
