What do you do with that once state of the art Power Mac ? Well, you could always empty the case and add a “cheap clock mechanism,” in the words of our friend Justin — who emailed us some pictures of his latest creation this morning. But don’t forget the Mighty Mouse pendulum: that’s what really won us over. Hit the source link for more glamor shots. Visualized: the Power Mac G4 clock originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 26 Jan 2011 01:36:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

[1] What if Walt Disney Pictures produced Pixar’s Up in the 1960s as a live-action feature film? YouTube user whoiseyevan has created an amazing faux “premakes” trailer which imagines this exact possibility. Watch the video now, embedded after the jump. Here is a note from the video editor: Ah, the swinging 60s. It was a time when films were dominated by flying automobiles and flying nannies. It was… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : /Film Discovery Date : 26/01/2011 06:32 Number of articles : 5

Moscow: Russian media has pointed out the similarities between the bloody scenes depicted in a popular US video game with attack at Domodedovo International Airport, sparking a heated debate on the content of the game. The bloody scenes of the Moscow attack are reminiscent of what can be seen in a year-old video game, the scenario of which controversially involves a character who is urged to kill civilians in an imaginary Russian airport, a local TV channel said on Tuesday. The blast at Domodedovo Airport has sparked hot debate on the stuff of a popular American video game ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2′, sold worldwide. “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has become a shocking reality,”…

After initiating the first on-contract Galaxy Tab price cascade back in December that quickly led Sprint to respond , T-Mobile may chop subsidy prices again today for the 7-inch tablet to just under $250 (after a pesky $50 mail-in rebate). Together, that’s only $62 more than the bargain bin CherryPad , which should infuriate early adopters who paid double that only a few months ago, not to mention sober up Samsung. However, when you consider that pseudo-4G tablets like the Dell Streak 7 and LG G-Slate will join Magenta’s lineup soon , it is a viable strategy for extending the Tab’s consumer appeal in this viciously competitive Android tablet world we live in. Then again, if the dual-core processors teased for the Tab’s successor actually pan out, we doubt Samsung will need any assistance getting back to its smug position on top of the Android heap. We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled on T-Mobile’s site today and be sure to update should the price change actually materialize.

January 26, 2011 No Comment
You know a job title is tenuous when even the guys who announce it have to put it in quotation marks — Intel’s just signed up the Black Eyed Peas’ Will.i.am as a “director of creative innovation.” The hip hop star responsible for flooding CES 2010 and every BlackBerry event since with an irritatingly cheery tune (which we’re sure we don’t have to name) is about to commence a long-term, “hands-on” collaboration with Intel on its development of “new technologies, music and tech advocacy.” Basically, it sounds like he’ll act as an ambassador for the chip company, who’ll in turn pretend to listen to his zany ideas about mega-giga-bass . Then again, Lady Gaga’s similar partnership with Polaroid produced these glasses , so what the hell do we know?

January 26, 2011 No Comment
Obama just wrapped up the 2011 State of the Union address, and one of the clear highlights was his call for massive national investment in new technologies — especially clean energy. Referring to renewable energy, Obama said that “this was our generation’s Sputnik moment”; the moment when we realize that we’ve fallen behind and redouble our efforts. But that wasn’t the only notable element of Obama’s speech in terms of climate, energy, and the environment. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that you can fit a Tegra 2 in your pocket — how else could we have these phones ? — but it’s still impressive to see the dual-core ARM Cortex A9 and GeForce ULP chip find its way into a bona fide fanless nettop that sips just three watts under load. This Compulab Trim Slice isn’t nearly as powerful as the AMD Fusion model we saw last week, but it sure is svelte, with a die-cast metal case just six-tenths of an inch thick despite cramming in a SATA SSD, 1GB of RAM and most every I/O port you could want. You’re looking at four USB 2.0 sockets, SD and microSD slots, HDMI, DVI, RS-232, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth, a pair of 3.5mm audio jacks and S/PDIF out for sound, not to mention JTAG, UART and SPI interfaces for extending the system on your own terms — and analog video-in, for crying out loud. Look for it in April, priced “higher than a streamer, but lower than a tablet.” Sound about right? Find another picture and the full PR after the break, while you make up your mind.
