Feb 26, 2008

Your weekly guide to all things techy, geeky, nerdy, and gadgety with a fun mix of news, reviews, tips & tricks.

As a self proclaimed “Geek”, JD Andrews scours the internet looking for interesting stories regarding all things tech. Here is his rundown of the best nerd news out there for the week of Feb 26, 2008.

Breaking News - After much speculation week after week, today Apple updated its popular MacBook and MacBook Pro notebook lines with the latest and greatest Intel Core 2 Duo processors, bigger hard drives and 2GB of memory now come standard. Plus, the MacBook Pro includes Apple’s innovative Multi-Touch trackpad which first appeared in the MacBook Air.

News - The Oscars just went geek! Along with a billion other people, I watched Oscar host John Stewart playing with his iPhone (watching Lawrence of Arabia) and playing the Wii on the big Screen! Looks like Hollywood has embraced its inner nerd!

“Hey, I can't watch my favorite lip sync video on YouTube, what gives?” Blame it on Pakistan. "A religious state, Pakistan, identifies a content provider, YouTube, as the source of blasphemous, seditious content and orders, that the Internet tides be stopped." No problem....Youtube is back for all of us that love blasphemy! Speaking of YouTube, here is a 3 year old little girl explaining Star Wars.

So Cool - Are you sick of your work desk? Do you need something that represents you and that will let your "geek flag" fly? Get your hands on the Han Solo in Carbonite desktop. It is the coolest!!!

Gadget of the Week - Trust me Obi Wan, you’re my only hope. It looks like a Star Wars themed Tech Talk this week, since the gadget of the week is an R2D2 projector, it comes with a Millennium Flacon remote! It projects photos and videos from DVD's, Cd's, memory cards, usb flash drives and with the internal iPod dock! I can't find a US distributor or a price but if your a true fan, use the force!
