Hasta La Gadget!

Looking to further subject your Mimobot USB flash drive to more unspeakable cuteness and accessorizing? Then look no further than Mimobot’s new series of protoHoodies.  

Think touch screens are one of the biggest innovations of the past decade? As it turns out, that concept has been available to consumers longer than a lot of you reading this have been alive.

The MS DOS-powered HP-150 allowed users to maneuver around a very basic monotone interface. The screen was surrounded by a series of infrared emitters and detectors which would be able to roughly place any non-transparent object near the screen. The divots were often known to get clogged with dust, making the “touchscreen” unworkable. The touchscreen was later dropped as a standard feature in later incarnations before being dropped as a feature all together.

After the jump, check out some footage from the gripping television program: Computer Chronicles. The clip wasn’t of note just because of the forward-looking (if ultimately flopping) attempt on the part of HP, but check out how wound-up these guys are. They’re techies, but they’re all at least in their mid-30s and wearing suits. That sort of behavior just wouldn’t be acceptable in today’s tech world.

Looking for the perfect gift for the one you love, this holiday season? How about lots and lots of pictures of naked ladies? How about 250GB worth–oh, and we’re told there are some articles in there, too.

Playboy, that perennial bastion of culture and airbrushed nudity, is offering up a complete collection of its back issues on a single classy hard drive designed to slip unnoticed “inside a briefcase or jacket pocket.”

And yes, the publisher is pushing the $300 hard drive as the ideal holiday gift,

Why would you let more than 650 of your favorite Playmates celebrate the holidays in a damp garage, stashed under your bed or crowded together in the basement, when you can bring them all together beneath the mistletoe this year?

The hard drive contains 650 issues of the magazine, while offering up 200GB of extra storage for your Norman Mailer essays and Penthouse Forum letters. The hard drive was designed in conjunction with Bondi, the company behind similar offerings from The New Yorker and Rolling Stone.

Are you the kind of person who always has their face glued to their laptop? Were you too busy reading up on the latest rumors of iPad 2 or Digg’s inevitable decline that you didn’t even realize what time of year it is? Well, snap out of it, geek face! It’s Christmastime! And you better start showing some season’s spirits!

Or else!

Luckily, the fine people at ImageLab3 are here to help you celebrate the holidays (within the parameters of ironic geek chic) with their Snow White Christmas Apple decal for your laptop.

A-friggin-dorable!

Afraid to mark your laptop with too much holiday joy? No worries, the decal (15″ MacBook: $14.99; 11″ MacBook Air: $9.99 — plus $2.00 shipping) can be removed easily once the 26th comes around.
