Asus Eee Keyboard dissected

Flora Graham | Jul 15, 2009

Blogeee.net says, "The version we tested was a pre-production model, and only two tabs out of five available in the interface were working. The interface reminded us of the first Eee PCs--Eee Fun and Eee Tools looked like the features found on Netbooks running Xandros. The shortcuts on the screen launch things like the alarm or the calculator, which also display on any screen connected to the system."

The folks over at the rather splendide French site blogeee.net have gotten their hands on a prototype of an Asus Eee Keyboard, a media center computer shoehorned into a keyboard.

I had a chance on Friday to chat with reps from Hitachi, who told me about some new products in conjunction with the SimpleTech acquisition earlier this year. We've reviewed SimpleTech hard drives in the past, with positive results, so we're anxious to see how these two new drives compare to their predecessors.

Up to bat first is the SimpleTOUGH portable hard drive, a tough guy that claims to be one of the most rugged drives for an excessively abusive environment. The Hitachi reps claimed the drive can withstand a 10-foot drop, more than 5 feet more than the Iomega eGo Camo that boasted a 10.8cm drop protection.

Although plenty of businesses skipped Windows Vista, a significant number of corporations have no plans to quickly move to Windows 7, according to a new survey.

The survey, which received feedback from 1,000 IT administrators, found that nearly 60 percent have no current plan to adopt Windows 7. The survey, conducted by Quest Software's ScriptLogic unit, received the 1,000 responses from 20,000 surveys it distributed.

An external HDD with a ripple effect

Darius Chang | Jul 13, 2009

Harddisk enclosures are a dime a dozen. So to differentiate their products, HDD enclosure vendors go for bright colors or designs. The eGear Ripple external HDD enclosure may not have any special standout features, but its unique chassis is striking.

Resembling its namesake, this eGear enclosure has been made to look like a water surface ripple. Available in four colors, this device connects a SATA HDD to a USB 2.0 port. This enclosure is available on sale in Asia for S$20 (US$14.50) and comes with a free protective pouch.

Ford GT cruises the Internet

Dong Ngo | Jul 10, 2009

I received this wireless mouse awhile ago, but as it comes in one of those clamshell packages that are impossible to open, I kind of ignored it until now.

As it turns out, the packaging is the only bad thing about it. Inside, I found what's possibly the coolest wireless mouse ever. It's a miniature replica of a Ford GT sports car. The two mouse buttons are the left and right side of the hood, and the scroll wheel is right in the middle (but kind of hidden as it's painted over).
