What you see above, is not what you really see above, thanks to Dean Liou. That’s not an arcade, but a laptop. The ArcadeDock Laptop Dock is a half-height arcade machine, complete with a flame job from a dark corner of 1994, a full-on joystick + large button splay and a secret cabinet for a touchpad-equipped keyboard. It’s more of a casemod with more cool stuff really, as the miniature arcade box houses a Lenovo IdeaPad Y560. That’s why you see the ‘Lenovo’ word there. Yes the controllers worked exactly like how an arcade controller should be. King of Fighter anyone? Well, next up should be a 3D Lenovo notebook! Read more…

Pioneer’s HDJ-1000 can be considered as one of the best headphones from Pioneer. But how do you improve something that’s already great from start? Well, they throw in some new shades to the dated design. Gold cups aren’t really my taste, but perhaps some people will love it. The headphone is getting a extrovert gold number above and an understated all-black look. Pioneer hasn’t left the innards completely untouched, however, as it has nipped and tucked a few bits to allow better low-range reproduction and a more comfortable fit overall. I’m not sure those golden stuff justify the $209 that they’re asking now. Read more…

Maemo 5 wasn’t amazing, admit it. Nokia knew that too, and they promised to let you have a taste of MeeGo if you have a Nokia N900. Yes, Nokia will allow you the option to dual-boot your N900 into MeeGo in the upcoming PR 1.3 update. It might take some more time, but there’s no harm in waiting a little longer, as that firmware is now on the precipice of becoming available.

Sony has upgrade the firmware on its miniature NEX-5/3 system cameras to improve usability, make manual focusing easier, and allow single-shot autofocus when using A-mount glass via an adapter. The latter will be rather useful for owners of Sony’s large-sensor compact, allowing them to use a total of 14 lenses from the company’s DSLR range without having to worry about focusing manually.

In ten or maybe fifty years’ time, we’ll have war with the robots. Yes, just like terminator. And who should we blame? Google. Because now we have another proof that Google’s name in the future will be Skynet.

Google has demonstrated their crazy software advancement technology by demonstrating a self-driving Toyota Prius to the crews of ABC News. Earlier this week, ABC News got the chance to go for a spin in one of the tech company’s automated cars, riding shotgun in a computer-controlled Toyota Prius. Read more…

Now why are we talking about DotA in this page? Well, simple because this custom map game featured in Warcraft 3 of Blizzard has over 10 million players worldwide. And now, Valve has come and announces DotA 2, which will be released in 2011. Read more…

During the announcement of Intel’s huge $11.1 billion quarter profit, CEO Paul Otellini mentioned about a chip to beat iPad. Same case goes to Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer during a post-Windows Phone 7 interview with CNET, who expressed his desire to give the iPad a punch. See the similarity here? Steve Jobs really gave some ‘butthurt’ to them, as we can see so many iPad-wannabe in the market. Read more…

Have you ever thought about how advance your life would be, and so does the rest of your world, when you wake up and brush your teeth while looking at the latest news and weather on your mirror? Won’t your mirror in your bathroom look like a mirror-finish monitor with lots of widgets? Well not many, perhaps two or three widgets, but that’s still very futuristic. But it’s already a present technology, with EXISTING product that is exactly like that, and they’re in Hong Kong! Read more…
