Cyber Sport’s Orbita Mouse is a revolution

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

We’ve seen the Cyber Sport Orbita Mouse bouncing around the Internets for about a year in search of a manufacturer.

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

Sure, it’s still a bit stocky, but we’re confident that fashion-forward nerds could still pull it off. In between the two (p)leather straps sits a 1.8-inch 160 x 128 resolution color display, a [...]

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

You’d think with an 18.4-inch panel, the engineers at Clevo could figure out a way to stretch the components within the case into a more horizontal orientation. Instead, this beast is as thick as ever (at least, it sure looks that way), but we suppose you need a good bit of breathing room when tucking [...]

Apple bringing its operating system into living 3D?

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

If there’s one problem with modern operating systems it’s that they’re all rather planar. Sure, OS X, Vista, and others have some 3D tricks up their sleeves, stacking windows and layering them on cubes and such, but when you get down to business everything’s rather more Flatland than Lawnmower Man.
