The design of this 8-drive RAID tower is pretty clearly derived from the Mac Pro (and it would look great next to one), but I actually like this thing better. It’s the SansDigital TowerRAID TR8XP , and it’s got room for up to 8 SATA or SAS drives in there, for a (current) max capacity of 16TB and potential data read/writes at up to 700MB/s, depending on your RAID mode. It’ll set you back $745 without drives, so it’s not exactly an impulse buy, but that’s really not a bad deal.

Car seat technology has progressed quickly over the years. It’s a product that children need (the hospital won’t even let you take that new baby home without a car seat), and Britax just launched their latest product line of high tech seats.

Not one to be left out of a market, Asus has been working on its latest entry to the tablet market for some time now, teasing both the Eee Tablet and Eee Pad over the last few months but never really setting a date or price. No longer! The Eee Pad will cost $400 and run Android, but that’s about as much information as we get… except that it’s launching in March .

There is a small, but vocal, contingent of readers who pop up in the comments on e-reader stories and say they love their Sony Reader or such and such model. And while a lot of our attention is on the higher-profile items like the Kindle and iPad, we mustn’t rule out Sony… although they aren’t exactly a hotbed of innovation these days. In any case, the rumor is that we’ll be seeing a couple new Reader devices soon : a 5″ and 6″ version, 10mm thin, with touchscreens, 3G, and the new, improved Pearl e-ink displays

This set of comparison pics showing the Kindle and iPad displays at high magnification is really more the result of curiosity than an attempt at making a point. It really is interesting to see the differences between the Kindle’s e-ink display, the traditional (but high-quality) LCD of the iPad, and a printed page.

If you remember, Apple bought LiquidMetal’s patents last week , allowing the company to create “fluid” metal surfaces in its devices. While there has been plenty of talk about Terminator-like iPhones that flow under and around doors and windows to kill John Connor, but if you’ve seen an Omega watch recently, you’ve already seen liquid metal. Hodinkee has a video of the Omega Liquidmetal bezel and they note that Omega will not be forced to stop using the technology after Apple’s patent buy

The Motorola Droid 2 looks a lot like the original Droid, and a teardown reveals that the similarities go more than skin-deep. In fact, the internal layout and most of the Droid 2’s components are nearly identical to those of the original Droid, gadget repair site iFixit found . The most significant upgrade is to the processor, which is probably a Texas Instruments OMAP 3630, iFixit says

As soon as the rumor broke that Apple would be renaming its struggling Apple TV to iTV, to better fit with the company’s i[Device] naming system, I thought to myself, “Isn’t ITV the name of a television network in England that always misses key goals in soccer games?” Yes, yes it is. In fact, the network isn’t too keen on Apple using the name iTV, and has promised to “vigorously defend” its IP. In an interview with Pocket-link, Mike Large, ITV’s acting group director of Communications, said that it has a “very strong brand, and a highly valued IP.” As such, any move on Apple’s part to re-name the Apple TV could expect to meet a legal challenge

Back to schoolers just got another great reason to convince Mom and Dad to buy them an iPad: CourseSmart, the e-textbook provider, just released an iPad app. Now, you can carry all your textbooks with you on the tablet instead of schlepping a backpack full of dead trees round the campus. If any device was right for taking to lectures, its the iPad.

One man drove 12,238 miles across 30 states to scrawl a message that can only be viewed using Google Earth. His big shoutout: “Read Ayn Rand.” Nick Newcomen did a road trip over 30 days that covered stretches from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean. First, he identified on a map the route he would need to drive to spell out the message.

Just like the Wii , if you want to stream Netflix movies to the PS3, you have to use a dedicated disc in the drive for the PS3 to run the Netflix app. During Netflix’s Q2 results report there was a mention of a dedicated streaming for the PS3. We aren’t sure of the DRM being used, but Netflix is confident that they will release the “major” update in October.

Android-based smartphones are falling victim to something that has plagued PC users for years: bloatware. Android phones are being pre-loaded with trial software and apps that can’t be deleted off the device by the user. These apps touting mobile TV, football games, location-based search and games are the new face of bloatware, also known as crapware or craplets in the PC world
