With yesterday’s leak, Gateway’s press conference was a bit short on surprise this morning, but the Gateway One is indeed official, and it really doesn’t look half bad. The one mystery left was the screen, which turns out to be a 1400 x 900 19-incher, which feels a bit small in this day and age, but leaves the One’s footprint at an acceptable size. Other niceities include dual easy-swap hard drive slots accessed by lifting off the back cover of the computer, and adjustable tilt through a stand in the back. The included mouse, keyboard and remote are all wireless and pre-synced with the computer, while the web-cam is a USB add-on accessory which comes in the box and can be perched up top, and the top-end One comes with a USB TV tuner as well. Otherwise the specs are as expected, with prices ranging from $1,300 to $1,800 and late October availability.

At first glance you might think this is some hacked-up clock made out of pieces of a hard drive, but this is actually a hacked-up clock made out of pieces of a hard drive that actually uses the mechanisms of the drive itself in a creative way. The platter itself turns to show the hours, and then the read head indicates the minutes. Clever stuff.

The liberator plus is designed to help you keep the wires under your desk more tidy. They are short extension cords which plug in to a power strip allowing you to tie the cables up neatly rather then being a complete mess. The Liberator Plus also features an additional outlet on each extension cord which is also good for keeping cables in one place.
Costing just $10.99 it seems like quite a good deal.

Future Vehicles are now able to convert your old school car in to an Electric car. One car they can convert is the old Mini. Once converted it will be able to travel up to 40mph and have a range of about 50 miles. When buying the conversion kit, Future Vehicles will source you a good quality mini, convert it and have it ready ASAP for you. Prices range from about 17500 GBP including VAT.
A Citroen 2CV is another option which converts well due to its small and light size.
