Hardcore Windows users will scratch their heads and complain about Apple Fanboys, but the mac fans will like these. How many do you think will be hanging in design firms soon?

I just bought a word over a the The Big Word Project. A website similar to the million dollar homepage but with the Big Word Project, you buy a word from the dictionary that sums up your website. Nice idea. Kudos to the founders.

Engadget received one of Psystar’s Open Computers, and played around with it for a few hours. They formed some opinions on it and they share it with their readers, along with a video. Overall it was a positive experience except the fan on the thing is way too loud. So loud in fact that they couldn’t see dealing with it on a daily basis. That fact alone probably makes me think twice about purchasing one.

They also reports that the next-gen iPhone with 3G and GPS has been spotted. Interesting if true

By far one of my favorite “green technology” that is affordable is the HYmini, a portable wind that acts as a a handheld, universal charger/adapter. By running, biking or standing in a strong wind you can harness renewable wind power / solar power to recharge almost all your myriad 5V digital gadgets.

The specs on the are as follows: The Lithium Ion polymer rechargeable battery has around 500 complete charge cycles. If the battery is fully charged every time, it should have at least of 1000mAh of stored capacity for you to transfer this power to other 5V devices up to 500 times. A conventional mobile phone has around 0.4Ah to 0.7 Ah of battery capacity.

After 20 minutes of charging the HYmini you can get 30 minutes out of your iPod or 4 minutes out of your cell phone.

Go ahead, show off your green badge. And look down smugly on all of your wall socket dependent friends.

In a surprising Monday morning move, Apple has updated it’s iMac models with Core 2 Duo Penryn processors. Now for $1,199 you get a 20-inch iMac with 2.4GHz processor and 128MB of ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT graphics. It still comes with 1GB of memory and a 250GB 7200RPM disk. The 24-inch model has been upgraded to a 3.06GHz processor. It also comes with a very nice 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS graphic card, with the standard 2GB of memory and 320GB 7200rpm disk drive for $2,199.

Nice, but is it too much to ask for 2GB on the $1,199 model? If I bought this computer I would have to upgrade it just for all of the graphic heavy programs I run.
