Dell Inspiron Zino HD: a baby Dell HTPC

August 12th, 2009 link to (permalink)

We know practically nothing about this machine, but from the two spy photos we can see, it looks interesting. It’s safe to assume it’s HD-capable (from the HDMI port), Blu-Ray is probably at least available as an option, and it appears to have about the same footprint as a Mac Mini.

Since we probably never will see the Duke Nukem Forever hit the market (it has been in development between 1997 – 2009) as 3D Realms pulled the plug in May, you can at least amuse yourself with the iPhone port of the classic Duke Nukem 3D game. Mini review inside.

It’s Wednesday already? How exactly did that happen? If both of my computers and my cellphone didn’t say so, I wouldn’t believe it. Last I knew it was Friday. This is what I get for filling my hours with books and farming games when I can get online, I guess.

It’s an interesting challenge. Lots of mobile devices that are all vying for the consumer pocket (and wallet). But just how many devices will consumers carry with them at any one time? The answer is important as that also helps define which devices will be successful and which ones will fail.

Oh yeah, that Iwata dude from Nintendo is crazy…

What’s your greatest achievement? Satoru Iwata rescued Nintendo from its N64+GameCube lethargy (commercial success-wise; only a fool would deny the quality of many of those games) and turned it into a ridiculous success with the Wii and DS, so he’s not sweating it either.

Listening to Ron and Fez right now, neither Fez nor East Side Dave were about to identify the Tumbler, the Batmobile from Batman Begins. Tsk-tsk. No matter, because you, too, can own a Go Kart replica of the vehicle in question.

Giant's latest folding bike, the Clip, is uniquely handsome. It has decent components. It folds relatively quickly/easily. It even rides smoothly. My one complaint? From my full review over at Wired.com: The little "D" above the fork seems like a natural carrying handle when the bike is folded.

Yet another exploding iPhone

Knowing Apple, they’ll soon be promoting this as an “exclusive feature”: doubles as a self-defense device! But seriously, people, does your phone get so hot it burns you? Does your phone hiss at you before exploding? This is not the behavior of a well device.
