Magic Box MagSafe mod kit brings the external battery back to your Mac (some assembly required)
January 24, 2011 No Comment
It ain’t exactly soldering guns at dawn , but it looks like HyperMac is going through a few somersaults to ensure that its products stay on the market without offending the legal team at Apple. First there was the HyperJuice auto / airline adapter , and now the Magic Box takes things to an even more invasive level. First step: cut the power cord of your Mac’s MagSafe power adapter in half. Second step: feed the cable that you cut in half into the MagicBox… and you now have your very own HyperMac battery pack for those extra-long liveblogging sessions. Seems dead simple, right? And for the time being, the company is throwing in a free car charger to sweeten the deal. Available for $50 in March.

A suicide bomber set off a deadly explosion in the international terminal of Moscow’s highly trafficked Domodedovo Airport on Monday, killing 31 people and wounding close to 170, according to the Associated Press’ last update. AP via Google News: The international arrivals terminal at Domodedovo Airport was engulfed by smoke and splattered with body parts after the mid-afternoon terror attack sprayed shrapnel, screws and ball bearings at passengers and workers in a loosely guarded area. Hundreds of people were in the area at the time. President Dmitry Medvedev immediately ordered authorities to beef up security at Moscow’s two other commercial airports and other key transport facilities. He also canceled plans to fly out Tuesday to Davos, Switzerland, where he aimed to promote Russia as a profitable investment haven to world business leaders. Monday’s attack was most likely carried out by a suicide bomber and “attempts were being made to identify him,” Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said. The Interfax news agency, citing law enforcement sources, said the head of the suspected bomber had been found.

Photo: Lazy Lizard Tales Few things excite the blogosphere, or human beings for that matter, as much as the discovery of a new species. Especially a strikingly beautiful mammalian one. As such, the news of the Sunda Leopard’s discovery — the “world’s newest cat”, according to the BBC — wasted no time in spreading like wildfire (the proverbial kind, of course, that would in no way endanger the new cat’s habitat). It’s not hard t… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Yes, it’s the Dell Venue , and no, you still can’t buy one outside Hong Kong or South Korea just yet. All we can speculate is that this Android phone is facing the same manufacturing issues as its WP7 cousin , but hopefully we’re wrong. Anyhow, what matters is that we’ve finally gotten our hands on a retail unit of the Snapdragon -packing Venue. So is it worth the wait for Androiders distanced from the Far East?
