Oh yeah they’re expensive. But have we heard better sounds from a 2.1 surround sound system? Nope. The Aux Classic deliver some of the finest fidelity from a set of shelf speakers since, well, ever. Just make sure you can swallow the massive price tag.

Cadillac can get green too! Staple of hip-hop videos everywhere, the 2009 version is available in a gas-electric hybrid. And get this: Not only does it get 21 mpg, we also kinda like it.

MSI, the Taiwanese PC company that is known for its Wind netbooks, has created a new instant-on operating system based on the Linux kernel.
The OS called Winki will feature in an upcoming MSI netbook and could ultimately be extended to a small module that plugs into  motherboards.
"Winki’s greatest ability is how it compares to other OS
supported devices," said MSI in a statement. "It starts up faster, uses less electricity, will not
have problems caused by virus and, best of all, and does not cost
customers a penny more."
The Winki’s user interface is reminiscent of the Mac OS X. The idea with …

BlackBerry maker Research In Motion’s online store for third party applications finally has a name but there’s still no sign of a launch date.
RIM will call its online applications store the BlackBerry App World. The site for developers will be updated tonight. There will also be a sign up page for users who want to be alerted when the store goes live.
The company has said earlier it plans to launch its app store in March. Developers have been allowed to offer submissions to the store since January. Last year, RIM participated in a $150 million fund to invest in …

According to a report this week from the United Nations, the number of mobile phone subscriptions throughout the world has quadrupled in the last seven years, from 1 billion in 2002 to 4.1 billion by December 2008.
That means that about 60% of the world’s population has signed up for a phone and had to endure the laborious task of listening to a telcom worker up-sell unnecessary features and extra plans. Hey it’s One World, right? We all get to feel the pain.
In the report, the U.N. notes that the majority of this growth is directly attributed to people in …

One thing is clear: A lot of Wired.com readers like the Mac Mini.
Apple’s puny PC is an impressively designed computer, but it’s also a bit of a mystery: Just who uses this thing, and what for?
Yesterday, we put the question to you. And your responses came flooding in — to the tune of 150 comments and counting. It’s clear that there are a lot of Mac Mini users out there, and that you are — for the most part — very happy with your Minis.
It also proves that those who have predicted the death of the Mac Mini were quite …

When I was bullied at school, the other kids told me I couldn’t punch my way out of a paper bag (they also tried to steal my pocket calculator and they would always call me "four-eyes"). If only Tyvek had been around back then — I could have made the geekily satisfying retort "That’s not a paper bag. That’s a high-density polyethylene fiber bag, stupid." My well-deserved beating would have swiftly followed.

These lovely bags are made from the same non-paper paper. Tyvek is the stuff used to make super-tough shipping envelopes — it can be folded and cut, but is …

Things you may not have known about the iMac, number one: The glass
panel is held on by magnets. No glue, just 14 magnets which pull the
panel’s metal bezel into place. All you need to remove it are a couple of suckers, as seen above.
So begins iFixit’s epic teardown of the new iMacs, which appeared on Tuesday (the iFixit guys don’t drag their feet). Among the revelations of this warranty-voiding escapade are a new, slightly less glossy display, louder, clearer speakers and a comparison between the 17" MacBook Pro’s battery and the tiny, internal clock battery of the iMac (spoiler — …

The best, nerdiest and probably funniest cartoon from the stickman comic XKCD was the sandwich strip seen above. If you don’t get it, then it doesn’t matter. If you do get it, it is quite amazingly hilarious. Sadly, trying it out in real life won’t work — it’s about as likely a transition from comic space into meat space as putting on a pair of glasses, re-parting your hair and expecting to be unrecognizable (we’re looking at you, Kal-El).
Happily, maker extraordinaire Bre Pettis and his trusty sidekick Adam Cecchetti decided to fix this, and built the Sudo Make Me A …

The Boston Globe’s Big Picture is probably one of last year’s best new blogs, featuring in-depth galleries of news events. The twist is that the photos are huge (you’ll be hitting the maximize button on your browser window) and that the picture editors choose some exquisite images.
Normally the Gadget Lab has had no reason to mention the Big Picture. Until now, that is. The site has a fascinating gallery of robots, from all around the world (although mostly from Japan). You’ll find cute robotic baby seals designed for clubbing practice (kidding! They’re for use as pets in hospitals), creepy military …

Those of you who scoff at the idea of "lazy" electric bicycles, think of it this way — anything that gets more people onto a bike is a good thing. At the least, it’ll help the elderly to get around. At best, it might get some people out of cars and make the roads a little safer.
MIT’s GreenWheel is probably the easiest mod we have seen yet that will convert a pedal-bike into a 30mph electric bike. All you need to do is swap out the regular wheel hub, front or back, with the rechargeable motor. You then mount the …

If you can fit a whole computer, keyboard and screen into a tiny, fold-up 7" box, why not squeeze one into a keyboard? And while you’re there, what about adding a little touchscreen in the space normally inhabited by the number pad?
What’s that? Asus did it already? By jove, it did! Look at that! The Eee PC Keyboard is a netbook stuffed inside a keyboard: 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1GB RAM and either an 8GB or a 16GB solid state drive for storage. The touch screen is a five-incher and can be used for navigation and display. Should you feel the …

Peek carefully at this picture of a Nikon D300 and you’ll see something unusual. No, it’s not the jaggy lines around the edges of the camera — that comes from the product page. Instead, it’s the little square box to the right of the lens, a tiny Bluetooth receiver which slips into the 10-pin remote terminal of higher-end Nikon DSLRs. Once nestled into place, the Unleashed (its rather odd name) will sip very little power and communicate with any Bluetooth-enabled GPS device, writing the information directly into the image EXIF data.
The dongle will work with the D200, D300, D700, D2X, …

A BlackBerry app store has been long in coming and now it looks like BlackBerry users will have to pay more than their iPhone and G1-using friends, too.
The BlackBerry App store, App World, hasn’t launched yet, but maker Research in Motion has been slowly releasing details about how it will work. While developers will be able to give away apps for free, RIM has set a minimum price for the for-fee apps at $3. 
It’s a risky bet considering that the iPhone’s most popular paid applications are priced at just $1.
"There is likely to be a big difference in …

Nokia has found a fix for the 5800 XpressMusic phones that made their debut two weeks ago to a slew of customer complaints regarding connectivity to some 3G networks.
"We have concluded this was an isolated situation related
to a configuration change in the North American variant," said a Nokia spokesperson in a statement. "We have now adjusted
the configuration and will resume sales shortly."
Nokia sells the 5800 phones for $400 as an unlocked and unsubsidized
device in the U.S. and the phone is available only through the
company’s stores.
Last week buyers reported problems with the phone that prevented the device from connecting …
