Hasta La Gadget!

Lenovo‘s quietly unleashed three new 1080p resolution-boasting monitors. Up first, the 21.5-inch L2261 Wide LCD, a pretty basic affair with VGA and DVI inputs. The L2361p Wide is 23-inches, with a more stylized look than the L2261, with integrated speakers and microphone, a webcam, and three USB 2.0 ports. Finally, the real star of the show, the L2461X Wide is a 23.6-inch, multitouch display. It also has integrated speakers and microphone, a 2 megapixel webcam. There is no official pricing or availability information for any of these bad boys yet, but there are two more images after the break.

We heard back in January that Sony was looking to reface itself somewhat by introducing a minty fresh retail look that takes a note or two from the Apple and Microsoft shops already in existence, and for those lucky enough to find themselves in Nagoya this weekend, you can check it out in person. March 13th marked the opening of the all new Sony Store Nagoya, and with an ample of amount of glass, white demo stands and black overhead signs, it’s certainly one of the more seductive retail shops that we’ve seen. We’d bother knocking Sony for following instead of leading, but considering just how far the brand has fallen over the past couple of years, we’re just stoked to see it putting forth an effort to turn things around.

You’ve heard of Meebo before, you know, the popular in-browser messaging program? It supports all of the popular messengers, and makes it super easy to access all of your messengers no matter what computer you’re on. Recently, they were wondering how many people changed their color, size, and font settings, and of those that did change, what were their preferences.  First of all, 75% of people don’t bother to change anything and stick with the size 10 Arial Black text.

What they were surprised to find out was that out of those who do change their settings, 21% chose hot pink, more than any other of the colors. The next most popular color is blue with 14% of the share. Combine the hot pink with the Comic text, and that’s what a good portion of the users cho0se. They took that information into consideration when deciding upon the new Meebo features. Now you can make your background color hot pink, green or purple. They have lots of different skins to choose from, and you can bet that pink will probably be a top choice over others.

Additional changes that you might notice besides the skins:

• Display pictures: Users with an account can upload their own buddy icons.
• Faster Login: The login process has been optimized by using an SSL over the RSA JavaScript encryption.
• Saved away messages: Meebo will remember you last away message so you won’t have to type it out again.

Head on over to Meebo to check out release 22: Meebo rainbow

You know what’s better than a stock 3.33GHz Core i7-980X Extreme Edition CPU? Not much, but we’re guessing that a 4.3GHz overclocked version of the same chip just might be. If you’re thinking the same, and you’ve got $1,044 to spare in order to find out, upstart gaming rig maker Origin PC has the means to get it to you. The outfit’s Genesis desktop can now be ordered with Intel’s freshest slab of silicon for $895, or you can snag an extra gigahertz for another $149. We know you’ll make the right call.

How do you know you’ve reached status as an internationally-recognized icon? When someone decides to make a Lego representation of you, that’s when — so our hats go off to you, BlackBerry Tour, for this distinguished accomplishment. Well-traveled Lego artist Nathan Sawaya was recently tapped to turn RIM’s global CDMA traveler into a life-sized monolith of plastic bricks, though with an unusual twist: his unnamed patron wanted a working video display, too, which required some “trial and error” to integrate. It might not fit in a pocket, but we reckon you could still find a belt holster that could swallow this thing. Follow the break for video!
