Those punched holes in the front of the Apple G5 Powermac's aluminum case just happen to be the perfect size to hold standard-issue LEDs. Swedish hacker Anders Lundberg built his own LED clock that fits right in the bottom, and I think it's sort of swell. Can you think how rad it would be if the entire front panel was one giant LED array (Thanks, Hammond!)

In the glove box of this new Lexus sits a Mac Mini, USB 2.0 hub, and an easy bundle of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support. On the dash is a Pioneer in-dash receiver with touch screen displaying the mini's OSX output. Gin and juice, money on your mind optional. Hopefully within a couple of months this will be so common it's not notable.

Turtle Beach has a new video capture device that's not only small, but has such a low draw that it works off USB bus power alone. The $130 Video Advantage USB isn't fancy, exactly, but it can capture DV-quality video, which is a big step up from the old school USB 1.0 devices. If you're bringing video in over RCA or S-Video in the first place, it will probably get the job done.

Miglia&8217;s EvolutionTV steps into the ring as a notable contender to Elgato&8217;s EyeTV in the Macintosh digital video recorder market. Not only does it undercut the EyeTV in price ($279 versus $329), but its feature set outshines the elder product by including MPEG-4 and DivX support along with the traditional MPEG-2 option. Bundle in TitanTV compatibility, integrated iCal scheduling, and no-import editing in iMovie 5, and this device is starting.http://www.eardrumbuzz.com/blog/categories/tech/2005/03/02.html#a1113 |
