Join New Dell Studio Laptop Range
I had a great experience last week, I was invited to Dell’s latest product launch which was made cooler than most launches as it was held at the Silverstone racetrack during F1 testing and we had to fly in 
.
The main product to be announced was the new range of Dell Studio Laptops. The Studio range is designed with the personal touch in mind and comes in a range of colors, but if you think “Flamingo Pink” is a bit too in your face you can still personalize with the less gaudy graphite grey with blue trim (full color selection).

The custom made Nerf Maverick
This strange looking toy is actually a Nerf gun in disguise. Which is just proof once again that there are a great many of us that don’t seem to want to grow up entirely. I’d imagine that the gun originally looked something like this, which is sold on ThinkGeek. The best part is to cock the toy gun you have to pull back on the cross. The seller of this mod does warn that although it shoots foam darts, shooting someone in the face could still hurt them. Apparently he thinks that the adults that would buy such a toy aren’t grown up enough to realize that.

Pico USB flash drive
Mention Pico and chances are you’ll think of something small. Guess there isn’t any prizes up for grabs if you manage to figure out just what the Pico USB flash drive is like!
No exception, this little drive is the smallest we’ve ever seen. Barely bigger than the tip of your pinky, and less than 4mm thick, it’s positively small. The polished chrome finish is certainly shiny, but at 8 gigabytes, it’s redonkulously teeny! Store four full length ripped movies, five days worth of music, more than four-thousand 5 megapixel photos, or eighty-meters worth of shelved books. Sure, it’s so small you could easily lose it, so we’ve included a chain to help keep it around.
It measures 31.3mm x 12.4mm x 3.4mm and comes in a polished chrome finish, and being shock- and water-resistant, it makes me feel much more secure knowing that my data inside is safe. Now if only there is a way NOT to lose this $49.99 device…
Star Trek Bottle Opener
It is good to know that just like sex, drinking is a universal value. How else do you explain the Star Trek Experience bar located at Hilton Las Vegas? Not to mention numerous drinking holes found in the Star Wars universe, but we’re here to concentrate on the former series today with a unique bottle opener.
As well as its supreme practicality, the Starship Enterprise Bottle Opener serves as a constant tribute to the most iconic pretend spacecraft in televisual history. Better still it’s embossed with the legendary NCC-1701 registration, so you can be sure you’re opening your bottle of wallop with a Shatner-era vessel. And that’s just as well because judging by his, erm, interesting cover of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Captain Kirk is the only member of Starfleet who likes a drink. Boldly going where no bottle opener has gone before. Make it so!
Well, only true blue Trekkies need to pick this up, as I don’t see the rest of the drinking crowd willing to fork out £12.95 for a ‘mere’ bottle opener when their teeth double up as one just fine.

RazorBook 400 announced
The Asus Eee PC has certainly set an unpredecented, er, precedent, moving thousands of units and proving to the world that there is a market for a tiny notebook which does the most basic of tasks minus the bloated bells and whistles of much more expensive devices. 3K Computers has taken up this challenge, and they recently announced their second generation of RazorBook 400 mini-notebook computer in the form of the 3K RazorBook 400 Mini Notebook Ultra Mobile PC which is powered by Windows CE. It tips the scales at just under a kilogram (now that’s worth lugging around in press conferences and events such as CES), boasting a highly affordable price tag of $299. At that price, what can you expect? Head on after the jump for more details.

Philips lights up building with LEDs
Philips holds the distinction for being the first company in the world to light up its office with nothing but LED solutions. This office is owned by Generali and located at 100 Champs-Elysées Avenue, Paris, making it famous by being a milestone in lighting history. The entire LED effect also goes down well with scene and atmosphere effects that are also LED based. The whole idea can be attributed to architect Anthony Béchu who had been commissioned by Generali, in order for the former to come up with ‘an innovative window in the world of LEDs’. Research has shown that LED lighting solutions improve people’s well-being in addition to providing designers a greater amount of flexibility in the layout of open spaces and the ceiling design. This frees designers from the lighting orientation too often given by fluorescents tubular lamps. Thanks to the relatively long lifetime of LEDs, maintenance costs are reduced to a bare minimum – a good thing in today’s ever rising energy cost scenario.

Vibro Shape belt vibrates your fat off
There is always some latest and greatest scam to help you lose weight, and some do work, they just rid you of every important nutrient your body needs. However, others you spend money on and they vibrate your fat and that’s where it ends. Over the years I swear there have been hundreds of these things under all different names and with all different looks. All claiming to just “melt” the fat right off of you. I’m sorry, I have never seen fat melt off, but I would most definitely pay to see it. Sadly, I don’t think vibrating your stomach is going to do the trick.
