Facebook: The Movie! Wait, what?!

As long as we’re talking about certain people who should be kicked in the balls for making bad movies about technology products, let’s add Aaron Sorkin to the mix. He’s thinking of making a movie about, you guessed it, Facebook.
If Sorkin goes through with this wonderful (eye-roll) idea, I’m sure it’ll be a really [...]

Some pretty real-looking shots of the Android phone

We have here what appear to be some actual, big-boy shots of the impending T-Mobile HTC Dream. You know, the Android phone? As always, take these types of things with a grain of salt, although these photos do look pretty convincing. The shots were grabbed from a Chinese-language forum and sent to Engadget. My Chinese [...]

Charge your kids for making you drive them around

Do you have no-good, bratty, whiney kids who think the world revolves around them and make you drive them to all the cool hangouts around town just so they can avoid having to sit by themselves in the cafeteria even though all that stuff won’t matter by the time they’re 30 and actually realize how [...]

iPhone projector dock

This thing just makes sense – lots and lots of sense. It’s the Honlai Qingbar MP101 and I have no idea if you can actually buy one. If and when you’re indeed able to purchase this doodad, you’ll be able to project 640×480 movies and photos from your iPhone (or iPod Touch) while charging the [...]

Replica Star Wars Landspeeder looks amazing, works

Joey Fatone (of N’SYNC and Dancing with the Stars fame) is apparently alive and well, goes by the name Daniel Deutsch, and has built a working, full-sized Star Wars Landspeeder. I’ll be damned. This thing is pretty impressive. It’s capable of going up to 25 miles per hour and can go “several miles on a [...]

So the whole getup ends up costing you less than the three disgusting Chipotle burritos you’re going to try to scarf down at lunchtime [...]

How to add RAM to the Acer Aspire One netbook

The Acer Aspire One netbook. It’s inexpensive, it’s tiny, and the base-level version only comes with 512MB of RAM. I cracked open the case, voided the warranty, and added an extra gigabyte. Watch the above video to see how. More details after the jump.

Tools Needed

Small Philips screwdriver
Two small flathead screwdrivers (or something similar) [...]
