| Samsung Series 9 Posted: 17 Mar 2011 12:00 PM PDT 
The great paradox in technology is that the thinner and slimmer you make things, the more expensive they become. So expensive in fact, that the tables have been turned in the battle between Windows and Apple. But the price is surely worth it once you know that the Samsung Series 9 beats the latest MacBook Air. The 13.3-inch laptop is just a little over half an inch thick at its thickest point and weighs just 2.89 lbs. It’s not just thinner, it’s faster too, running an Intel i5 with 4GB DD3 RAM and comes with a 128GB SSD drive. To keep things even lighter and sturdier, Samsung uses a material called Duralumin, said to be twice as durable as aluminum. Yeah, about the price. Nobody said dating a slim supermodel was cheap. $1,650+.

Music is all about feel and creativity. But today’s always-connected generation wants to cut corners in learning a song by way of video games. When Rock Band and Guitar Hero just isn’t cutting it for you in terms of ‘realistic playing’, then Ubisoft’s Rocksmith should do the trick. No need for another controller, just your standard guitar with a 1/4″ jack hooked to your favorite console and your TV, and you’ll be ready to rock. Beginners and experts alike can use the game so mastering a lick will be a cinch now. Available in the Fall of 2011. $TBA.

| COOKUP200 Solar Cooker Posted: 17 Mar 2011 06:29 AM PDT 
One thing that recent calamities may have taught us is that we may be advancing our civilization, but just like that, we’re back to the Stone Age. Electricity and gas can run out just as quickly as we produce them so we must harness an energy source that won’t expire in the next couple or so billion years. Something like the COOKUP200 Solar Cooker. The 40-inch cooker uses the ‘death ray’ design by Archimedes – a paraboloid focusing the sun’s rays on a small area for cooking, grilling or baking. An initial investment may be steep but think about it, you won’t be buying fuel again! Obviously, it works only when the sun’s out but you get half the day for that. It’s also portable so you’ll have a cooker anywhere all the time. ~$700.

| Help Japan T-shirt Posted: 17 Mar 2011 03:45 AM PDT 
Maybe you didn’t get the memo or you’ve been out in your intergalactic travels again, but Japan is needing our help. After suffering a massive earthquake and a devastating tsunami last March 11, the country is desperate. If you can’t part with your cash, maybe a t-shirt like this would ease with the separation. No doubt that Japan will rise again, just like the sun depicted in the shirt. But let’s hasten their recovery with all the help we can give. $22.

Proving that you can improve on something as simple as a circular watch without going over-the-top is Breo Watches. Their new line of Orb wristwatches doesn’t look too garish or over-designed. Subtle hints like two pushers on either side of the watch complement the extreme simplicity of the Orb. The 25-mm case holds a digital movement with a stopwatch function and a back-lit display. It comes in no less than 10 color combinations. ~$73.
