Join Tis the season,, to ride shotgun at your nearest raceway (and give blood)
I got to have a blast yesterday. An absolute blast!
Our nearby Infineon Raceway in Sonoma California had their Speedfest media day yesterday.
As I only had an available hour, it was easiest to bring you the true highlights.
They are as follows:

Motorola Unveils New Mobile The StarTac III MS900
Oh boy Motorola keep churning out mobile phone after mobile phone but is this one going to be as good as the very successful Motorola RAZR? Well you will have to be the judge of that. The unveiling of Motorola’s new handset is called the StarTac III MS900 or as many people will call it the MS900. Continue reading » Motorola Unveils New Mobile The StarTac III MS900
Illuminated Inflatable Bars
I’ve always wanted to have a bar in my house, but they’re a bit space consuming and if I replaced the dining table with a bar and stools it would put me in the spare room for the foreseeable future. So this funky inflatable bar could be the ideal alternative. Continue reading » Illuminated Inflatable Bars
Apple TV Delayed
Crap. I was really looking forward to getting my Apple TV ($299) this month. I guess I’ll have to wait a little bit longer.
This morning I got the following email from the Apple Online Store regarding my Apple TV pre-order. Apparently “wrapping up” took ” a few weeks longer” than they expected… whatever that means.
To Our Valued Apple Customer:
Thank you for ordering the new Apple TV, an easy to use and fun way to wirelessly play all your favorite iTunes content from your Mac or PC on your widescreen TV.
Wrapping up Apple TV is taking a few weeks longer than we projected, and we now expect to begin shipments in mid-March, not in February as originally anticipated.
You may check the status of your order any time by visiting our online order status website at http://www.apple.com/orderstatus.
A shipment notification, with tracking information, will be emailed to you as soon as your order is shipped. There is no need to contact us unless you choose to change or cancel your order.
We appreciate your business and thank you for shopping at the Apple Store!
Sincerely,
The Apple Store Team
As you can see, the “letter” from Apple is some of the most uninformative collection of words ever assembled. Apple doesn’t even try to explain why shipments of the Apple TV are being delayed. Pete Mortensen from the Cult of Mac blog sarcastically summed up my disappointment pretty well: “Wow. That’s a stunningly insightful piece of news. Anyone upset that your new toy isn’t showing up Wednesday?”
When I do get my Apple TV (hopefully next month?), it should be an easy setup. Apple is promising true plug-and-play installation. Just connect Apple TV to your TV (even HDMI is built in) and start iTunes, which will automatically detect it. A few clicks on my remote and I should be in business.

SanDisk Cruzer Titanium U3 Flash Drive Review
We’ve received quite a few cool gadgets to review this year (most of which we’ll be giving away (to be announced shortly)). One gadget that I’ve been playing with for the last few months is the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB USB Flash Drive (apologises to Jamie for the excessive time this review has taken).
The Cruzer Titanium is one tough flash drive, it boasts the ability to withstand 2,000 lbs of crush force (which we put to the test with the help of a friends’ grossly over-sized MPV). One of the weak points on many similar sticks is the USB connector, the Cruzer avoids this problem by having the connector slide in and out of the casing (this even protects it from manic drivers who are on a USB destroying rampage).

Talk2Me – Let’s Talk About Sex
Talk2Me is a different kind of vibrator that can connect wirelessly to your sound system, iPod or TV. The audio is modulated for tactile feel, and since the bass and treble are divided, the users can feel the difference between the voice of Prince and Barry White, and experience the bass line and guitar riffs independently.
