Locking iPad case makes your tablet far less portable, attractive, and enticing to thieves
December 8, 2010 No Comment
Sick and tired of hauling your iPad into a dodgy work environment, scared to even leave it in your desk drawer for half a minute while you scurry across the office for a cup of scorched coffee? Never mind finding a new career — just fill out the paperwork necessary to pack a concealed weapon and head over to Mac Locks . You see, the aforesaid site is now carrying what it calls the world’s first locking iPad case — a plastic shell that can be closed via lock and tethered to pretty much anything via a coated steel cable. Once it’s secured, the only way to remove the tablet is the right way, or the fast way , with the breaking-and-entering method rendering the device worthless. The case itself can be had for $39.95, whereas the case / cable bundle is going for $64.95. But hey, it’s hard to put a price on peace of mind, ya know?

Chrome OS , or “Chrome without any OS getting in its way” as we like to call it around these parts, finally got its first bit of dedicated hardware yesterday in the Cr-48 testing device . This not-for-sale, unbranded laptop will be distributed to developers and curious onlookers via the Chrome OS Pilot Program, which we already warned you will have a limited number of machines available. Now we can be a little more precise about that limitation with official word from Inventec placing current shipments to Google at a total of around 60,000. That’s not to say that it’ll be the final tally of Cr-48s, if anything this just means there’s decently rich availability for the starting cohort of recipients, but we know you like numbers so thought we might as well share that one with you.

They are supposed to keep away the moths (although the jury is still out on that one) and help you sleep peacefully. Here’s a small gift for yourself or a friend that you can make without a sewing machine. Use whatever nice fabric you have and decorate it as simply or as lavishly as you wish. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

CANCUN, Mexico-U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged governments to rise to the global-warming challenge, and Pacific islanders pleaded for haste in drafting a new pact to slow climate change before their homes are swallowed by the rising ocean. The appeals Tuesday came as a two-week U.N. climate conference moved into its final days, with delegates seeking to resolve a host of arguments barring agreements to help poor countries cope with climate change and protect the world’s last native forests. With divisions running deep, the 193-nation conclave set aside the seemingly…

You’ll need to pop into a Quick Chek in New York or New Jersey to take advantage for now, but if you and iTunes just aren’t on speaking terms, a hear-to-heart with a MOD Systems’ Download2Go kiosk may be your best alternative. Planted in ten locations across aforementioned states, these kiosks work a lot like the movie-equipped ones that were installed in various Blockbuster locations and in 30 US airports, but rather than hosting the newest chick flicks, these are loaded down with singles, albums and other things you may enjoy on your so-called MP3 player. You can get a general idea of how it works with a film just after the break, but whatever you do, make sure you bring an unloaded SD card or USB drive.
