There has been a bit of talk on potential new Apple “Brick”. More than one blogger suggesting that Apple might be planning a new low-cost desktop; something that would knock some of the stuffing out of the low-cost Hackintosh products that have been hitting the market. I disagree with this theory, and am thinking more along the lines of the Gigaom projection, for the simple reason that there is already a Mac Mini – there is no place for a lighter Mac desktop; and any performance boost that they could give the Mac Mini wouldn’t really constitute a new product. I think Apple’s new product will be an affordable, mid-spec home theater PC (HTPC) for masses, that will replace the lackluster Apple TV.

The Sony Vaio TT, or a variant of it has been floating around here in Japan for sometime, however, its latest incarnation, which has made it Stateside is a little bit more exciting than the TTs of yore. This thing weighs in at slightly less than the Mac Book Air, yet comes with an integrated optical drive (which has the option of being upgraded to Bluray. You can also opt for a dual channel 256GB solid state drive with RAID support. Features include an 11.1 inch screen, Centrino 2 processor and integrated Sprint EV-DO.

Not a bad little package, a little bigger than the web books that have been proliferating these days, but with a whole lot more functionality.

Price: $2,000-2,750 [Sony via Acquire]

Antec’s Notebook Cooler 200 is a pretty standard notebook cooler. It is a one-size-fits-all affair that sits under your notebook, which presumably would make it better for desk use than lap use. It features a 200mm fan which is big enough to get reasonable airflow from low speed settings - 400 and 600RPM are the options on this model.

The cooler is USB powered and while a little bulky can be moved around in a pinch. The dimensions of the Notebook Cooler 200 are 3.8? (H) x 19? (W) x 4.2? (D) and it weighs in at 3.4 pounds.

Price: $90 [Antec via Slippery Brick]

I am upset with Microsoft. Windows Vista is a terrible operating system. It is bloated and unwieldy and the taskbar looks ugly. Don’t get me wrong, I like the functionality of Vista it has some cool features; the trouble is that it comes with too many ghosts of Windows past. The legacy code from all of those past versions is the problem.

The Vestal Grenade Watch is designed to look like a grenade strapped to your wrist. Flipping the top open will reveal that it is not actually a “device.” Just remember that law enforcement types are more inclined to shoot you than taze you if they think that you are carrying explosives; they don’t want to risk the current from the Taser causing the explosives to detonate.
