The new Kodak V1003 camera comes in a couple of colors and this got me thinking; how is it that anytime a company releases a new product in a couple of colors, I automatically just go for the black one? I doubt I'm alone; really, does anyone want a pink camera? Sure it's quality and has a ton of features like 10-pixel resolution, 3x zoom and photo-stitching for panoramic shots, but I'm calling BS on the colorway deal. I can't prove this, of course, but my hunch is that they are really only making black ones, but also show you a pink one they did in Photoshop just to reaffirm that the black one is still the coolest. It's not that I'm against you Kodak, I still got your back... but I'm on to you.
Apple TVI'm not sure what the Apple TV is actually, but it has something to do with iTunes and your television. But really, I don't even care-it's just another Apple product that I will blindly buy and figure out later.
JVC D770 CamcorderThe new JVC camcorders are dope. As always, you should buy one as soon as they come out. Ok, now we've gotten that out of the way, what the hell is going on in that image? Usually press images show the monitors with shots of beaches, sunsets, multi-cultural people laughing, but not this time. I think one of the kids is dressed as a banana.
Motorola MOTORIZR Z8What the hell is going on with cell phones? Each new Motorola that comes out has ten more features than the last model. The phone I use, on the other hand, has a hard time even receiving calls. Thanks to a ten-year contract, I get pissed trying to find a couple bars of service while people walk by me with phones like the MOTORIZR Z8 streaming movies, taking photos and listening to music. By the time I can get a new phone, the Z53 will be able to pay dancers in strip clubs, fix my bad tooth and find legal loopholes in cellphone plans.
Nokia 7373 Special EditionNokia recently collaborated with famed fashion designer Giambattista Valli for a special edition phone available only in select markets in Europe. I've never heard of that lady (or is it a dude?), but I kinda like the skull, and black phones always match my wardrobe. I tried to Google the name but it only turned up a housing development in Rancho Cucamonga. Not to be outdone by snotty foreigners, I've been in contact with Nokia recently, trying to tie down the 2NR Edition that comes in STi blue with a pre-paid phone card and bail-bond numbers pre-programmed.
Gateway NX860Uhmm. This is a quote from the Gateway site for their new gaming laptop, "Not your mother's notebook: for gaming on the go, our NX860 kicks as hard as any desktop. Mobile gaming rules!" Granted it's an ill computer, and I think Gateway is a solid company, but are they forcing their employees to drink Mountain Dew?
Philips Senseo Coffee MakerMy credit cards are maxed out again, so I'm forced to spend cash on things like coffee. Turns out, I spend about forty bucks a week at Starbucks and because I'm now a caffeine addict, most mornings I wake up, get coffee to kill the headache and go back to sleep. Drastic measures need to be taken. Obviously I'm not going to cut back on coffee because I'm only awake ten hours a day, so the Philips Senseo is looking pretty good. A full cup of coffee in sixty seconds and no cleaning up means I can keep it on the bedside table.
