Bleeding Edge TV 267: A look at the Voodoo Envy 133
Posted by Sparky Categories: Gizmatic, Features, PC / Laptop, Podcasts, Videocasts,
While the Macbook Air has long reigned as the king of sleek and sexy laptops the newly announced Voodoo Envy manages to beat it in terms of both computing power, and clean sexy design. The Envy features a carbon fiber case (with an option for the automotive finish of your choice), and a revolutionary new AC adapter with an Ethernet port and a dedicated 802.11n router to allow wired connections without wires. The Envy 133 clocks in at 0.7” thick which dethrones the Macbook Air as the thinnest laptop on the market, while still managing to pack 2 USB ports (one of which is eSATA compatible), HDMI, and an ExpressCard slot.
Check out the video for a first look at this slim and lustworthy computing masterpiece in an interview with Rahul Sood, founder of Voodoo and CTO of HP Global Gaming.

John McCain Googles for VP Candidate
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Editorial, Google, Internet,
Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain, seen here in a recent trip to a pig roast in Michigan, recently joked around that Googling made his VP search simpler.
“You know, basically it’s a Google,” he said at a fund-raising luncheon. “What you can find out now on the Internet—it’s remarkable.”
It seems like the senior senator has finally caught on to the Net. Fortunately for Barack Obama, back in October he had the smarts to hire Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes to head up his online campaign.

Because it is the inhaling that is part of the habit (plus the need to hold something besides a turkey leg,) giving up cigarettes is really tough with only a patch or gum. If you have tried to stop smoking but can’t get over the habit, or hang in one of those places that will not allow you to smoke, Milano Electronic Cigarettes may be the answer. They have no tar or carcinogenic substances such as carbon monoxide, but they do have both nicotine and non cartridges. The E-Cigarette comes with a charger and battery, and 3 filters. Somebody obviously thinks it works, as the company is temporarily out, but you can pre-order for the next batch for £39.99 (~$78.00.)

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smartphones, Home Entertainment, Misc. Tech,
Fans of “Dr. Who” can carry the show around with them with the Tardis and Dalek cell phone charms. Each of them flashes and spins when a call comes in, definitely a plus for those on subways or in a local saloon during happy hour on a Monday Football Night. While they will only work on GSM networks, check with your provider before you take the plunge for a mere $9.95.

Wine Stopper USB Memory Stick
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, USB, Design, Software,
Wine connoisseurs/geeks, it’s time to say “Cheers!” Arwye Wan has designed a USB 2.0 flash drive shaped like a cork wine stopper. Handmade and at a size of 50 x 20mm, the stick holds 1GB memory and supports Windows, Linux and Mac. The storage device comes in a white gift box and will be available soon, so contact smediart for details and price. What a great idea for for a vineyard and/or retailers to get one with their logo on it and information about their product included in the design. Personally, our wine knowledge is pretty much limited to Ripple.

Exclusive Hands On with the Voodoo Envy 133, MacBook Air Killer
Posted by Chris Cardinal Categories: Features, PC / Laptop,
We’re live in Berlin, Germany at the HP Connecting Your World event. During yesterday’s keynote, Voodoo PC, HP’s enthusiast line, announced what’s essentially a competitor to the MacBook Air: The Voodoo Envy 133. The Envy 133 is just 0.7” thick throughout; the same thickness as the most thick points on the Air. (Just slightly under, actually.) It’s sheathed in a carbon fibre casing that allows them to bring down the weight to just 3.4 lbs. It features a 13.3” ultrabright backlit LED screen and a backlit keyboard, ambient light sensor and an enormous touchpad that’s multiple gesture-compatible.
Take a look at our first impressions and see what sets the Envy 133 apart, giving it what I believe is the upper hand against the MacBook Air.
