SYG5 3300 GI’m not much of a desktop computer user. I do my best work at a coffeeshop, bar, or in bed, so my laptop is always the way to go. When I do noodle with desktops, I always try to make them as stylish and small as possible. Shuttle’s my go-to company for small desktops, and its latest little offering includes quad-core procs, something you normally only get with larger, louder machines.

And might I add, vertically aligned images have no place on the World wide web. How awkward does that picture look? Any bigger and it’s do a number on your vertical scroll bar.

powerjacket.jpg You know how in the Matrix humans were grown in farms to harvest bodies to power machines? The kids at Berkeley Lab (Giz trivia: Chen’s a Berkeley grad) are making a jacket that does the same thing, but it powers gadgets like laptops and cellphones instead of futile resistance to Keanu Reeves. Basically they’re going to interlace thermo-electric silicon nanowires with the fabric, and they’ll transform excess hotness into energy. Send these to Adam Frucci, and our energy problems are over.
