Cutesy Monster Laptop Sleeve -- Perfect for Kid Computing

by Christine Whitney, posted Jun 13th 2008 at 9:10AM

We halfway want to hate on this new Monster Laptop Cozy, but secretly, we're kinda into it. It's homespun and fleecy and, come on, it's cute. We all have mixed feelings about fleece as a fashion statement, but have decided that it's okay for kids and computers.

The sleeve in question is handmade by indie crafter 'beckaboo,' whose wares walk a fine line between adorable and annoying (monster finger puppets for kids, DO, 'Dad' Tattoo T-shirts, DON'T). If we were 12 and had laptops, this sleeve would be high on our list of priorities, though at our age it may be a little NSFW. [Source: Etsy.com, via Geeksugar]

World's Most Ultimate Computer Workstations

by Christine Whitney, posted Jun 6th 2008 at 4:24PM

How many computer screens is too many? We ask ourselves this question all the time, and apparently other bloggers do too. Royal Pingdom just did a piece on this very subject, featuring photos of the real computer workstations with the most screens.

Al Gore kicks off the lineup with a modest three screens (after all, he loves the environment), but his setup pales in comparison to the 10-to13-screen set that is also included. Pictured, too, is a 10-screen console featuring an Asian version of 'Home Alone.'

There's something totally unnecessary and confusing about this screen-hoarding trend, but it's just so much fun! Like a space station. [Full disclosure: We want multiple screens. We are sitting here in front of numerous Mac and iBooks, only they aren't connected in any cool fashion].

Check out the lineup of extravagant workstations here, and choose your favorite. [Source: Royal Pingdom via Wired.com]

Radiohead Back Catalog Finally on iTunes

by Terrence O'Brien, posted Jun 5th 2008 at 2:38PM

Along with the Beatles, one of the biggest hold outs on iTunes has been the art-rock geniuses Radiohead. The dispute that has caused this delay has been over the bundling of Radiohead's albums. The band gave EMI permission to distribute its music digitally as long as the albums weren't broken up into individual songs. iTunes requires that albums be unbundled and for sale as individual tracks.

But with the band's last album 'In Rainbows,' Radiohead had a change of heart. Following the splash made by its payment optional debut, the album went on sale on iTunes earlier this year, unbundled. But as of yesterday morning, Radiohead has finally released its entire back-catalog of albums to iTunes just in time for the release of it's new greatest hits record.

All of the band's EMI released material, including videos, is now available DRM-free through iTunes, which means you can play it on any audio player (not just iPods). So, if you've been holding out on picking up 'Ok Computer' for some reason, you can rest assured that now is as good a time as any to pull the trigger. [Source: Wired]
