by Joshua Topolsky, posted Jul 13th 2008 at 7:02PM If you’ve been tearing your hair out, pacing wildly around the room, and sweating bullets over the availability of the ASUS Eee PC 1000 (and we know you have), you’ll be pleased to know that the grown-up sized version of the company’s mini-laptop is now available for pre-order on Amazon. The site doesn’t provide specific release dates for the systems (the $699.99, 40GB SSD equipped 1000, and the $649.99, 80GB HDD equipped 1000H), though we’re figuring it can’t be too long till these models hit shipping centers.

My girlfriend refuses to marry me until I can save up enough cash to get her a decent sized diamond engagement ring. I’ve thought about trying to sneak a cubic zorconia under her eyes, but something tells me she would know. Women have a built-in diamond radar or something, I swear. It’s science.
While I sure as hell don’t have the financial know-how to budget myself for the amount of savings I would need for diamonds, there’s another little gadget that my girl might like just for fun. Her love of diamonds and jewels is evident. So why not give her what she wants with something like this Jewel Ice Tray?
Forget about diamonds sweetie.

Once the first spoonful of corn starts flying, forget about it, you’re on your way to a full-fledged food fight. And you know what they say. It’s always better to be prepared. Our recommendation? For every meal you sit down to, you must have a Zing! spoon on standby. You never know when some little punk is going to get a little to excited about gobbling down his Jello. All it takes is one fling for a rage packed food brawl to unleash in your local cafeteria or delicatessen. The Zing! is a great tool to have handy. A spring-loaded spoon, ready for those far food launches you’ll need to survive the art of the food fight. The Zing! is a spoon mutated to work sort of like a catapult.

If you’re worried about family slipping on the steps to your deck at night, these little lights can light the edges of each one. Then again they may end up stepping on the light itself and slipping anyway if they’re overly clumsy. These small lights attach to the step and are solar powered. Each disk shines light in four different directions. However, hopefully you aren’t one that likes to have parties on your deck at all hours of the night.

A ringtone is used to signal an incoming call and every cell phone user wants to have a fabulous ringtone in order to stand out from the crowd. This is the reason why a number of mobile phone carriers and manufacturers release a number of ringtones at regular intervals. Apart from signaling an incoming call, ringtones are used to show the mood and liking of the user.
Over the time, cellular carriers have released thousands of ringtones and you can download the complimentary ringtones either for free or by paying a nominal fee.

The phone, which features a 320 x 320 screen, EV-DO Rev. A, WiFi, and GPS, is currently listing for $249.99 after a $250 instant savings, $100 mail-in rebate, and two-year contract.

by Paul Miller, posted Jul 13th 2008 at 11:20AM Heavily featured in the news leading up to the iphone 3G launch, the Who Farm campers — who hunkered down a full week early at the Fifth Avenue Apple store in Manhattan to promote organic farming or something silly like that — seem to have fallen off the face of the earth after the Cube’s doors were opened. None of the five hippies were seen emerging from the store with iPhones, and their leader’s little apple-dropping “accident” (video is after the break) might have something to do with it. He was later seen being taken into the store with a police escort, according to David Jr., but wasn’t seen from again.

After long hours of gaming or browsing the net, it can make your arm a bit uncomfortable. With carpul tunnel being such a major fear for those that make their living on the computer, a rest like this might help. I know after finishing my daily dose of blogging I like to mess with a little computer gaming. Which puts me in front of the computer even longer. This rest would keep your arm at a comfortable angle the whole time and prevent you from holding your arm at any bad angles.
