MacBook Case Disguises Computer as Newspaper

laptopcaseAt first, people will think that this notebook case was a fantastic idea. It disguises your MacBook Pro (or similarly-sized machine) as a newspaper, and has a hidden zipper to stop it falling out.

But take a closer look. Spanish readers will note that the name of the paper is spelled wrong (it should be La Vanguardia, with an extra “i” before the final letter). This would grab our eye immediately, as would the “Herold Tribune” and “Le Pais”, presumably all altered for copyright reasons.

Still, disguise is a great idea: we usually carry my MacBook in a Jiffy Bag, tucked inside one of those indestructible Tyvek FedEx envelopes, and some people actually had her laptop survive being left at a pub overnight using a similar trick.

Ironically, there is no version for the British Isles. Brits will see this joke coming: The obvious candidate for laptop-hiding in the UK would be the Guardian, a paper so famed for its poor spelling that its affectionate nickname is the Grauniad.

How Jennifer Aniston got her perfect body!

jennifer-anistonJennifer Aniston took a break from filming The Bounty on Aug. 22 to enjoy a meal with co-star Gerard Butler and some pals at Freemans eatery on NYC’s Lower East Side. Instead of nibbling on a salad, “she shared her dessert with her table and drank with her friends.” “She’s tiny, but she looks strong and healthy. Her arms were amazing, she was in great shape and she looked comfortable in her own skin.”

“Whenever she wants to look her best, Jen does this strict diet so she’s able to lose 5 pounds in five days,” an insider on the set of The Baster (a comedy Jen filmed with Jason Bateman before The Bounty) tells.”She did it during her past few films and doesn’t find it hard at all. I saw her eat pasta only once!” But the yoga devotee who flew her instructor, Mandy Ingber, from LA to her NYC set always eats enough to keep up her energy.

“She routinely gets up at 5 in the morning to run before filming starts,” says the insider, who was on set with Jen as she filmed The Bounty at Monmouth Park race track in Oceanport, N.J., on Aug. 17. “We were filming from 6 a.m. until almost 11 at night, and she had a great energy level the whole time. She was upbeat and smiley and never flubbed a line and her body looks amazing!”

TOOB brings back the curved screen

toobWho says that we are in a flatscreen age with the TOOB? The TOOB allows a user one of those domed theater experiences, but in your household.

It is powered by a projector from a home theater, and allows the user to plug anything into it, such as a video games system or DVD player. I am guessing that the user lays down in front of it and feels an immersed experience.

I’m guessing that this experience is limited to the amount of people lying down in front of it. I don’t really know if these photos do it justice for what it can really do. I mean, just imagine being right in front of that alligator.

So who needs 3D on our TVs, right? This sort of reminds me of the time I was watching the first Lord of the Rings in the theater, and the curved screen sort of made the experience more grand. I had to shift my focus to see objects in the distance, and it sort of felt like I was in Middle Earth itself.

Well, if you want this 3 foot by 6 foot TOOB, it will cost you. It costs about $1,440, and there is an 8 foot by 16 foot inflatable version. That might be good for movie parties in a public park, or something.

Twilight stars go public!

TwilightAfter a leisurely dinner at the Water St. Cafe in Vancouver,
British Columbia, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart continued their group outing at a Kings of Leon concert.

But for the stars of Twilight, the Aug. 15 show looked less like a night out with friends and more like a romantic date.”At first, they appeared bashful with each other,” says an onlooker who spotted the duo sitting in the VIP box at the GM Place stadium.

“But then they seemed to loosen up. We could see Kristen laughing at his jokes, and in no time they were leaning into each other with their faces just inches apart.”

Dancing Desktop Jellies

jellyfish_moodlampThis desktop tank holds three jellyfish which “swim” around the tank (thanks to a gently contrived current). In the top of the tank are 6 bright LEDs, which let you set the mood. You can either have them blend softly from one color to the next, or stop on your favorite color.

Either way, the jellies are happy to frolic in their kaleidoscopic, quiet menace. And if one of your subordinates ever acts up, just remind him or her about the Blackbeard story and let them know there’s room in your jellyfish tank for a hand or two. Sometimes threats are all you need. Arrrgh.

If you are having any troubles getting your jellies to swim about properly, remember to add just a few drops of liquid dish soap to the water as per the instructions. It’s the part that makes the magic happen.
