Seagate FreeAgent Go now comes in Christmas colors

I can almost feel it’s Christmas. I got an early Christmas gift from my husband in the form of an iPhone, I often hear Christmas tunes, and see Christmas trees being put up. And Seagate wishes every one a Merry Christmas with their portable HDs in an array of colors.

You can choose from gold, green, pink, red, black, silver, blue, light blue, orange, and yellow. If you’re a rich geek, you could get all colors and hang them on your Christmas tree to give away this holiday.

Starting November 28, the Seagate FreeAgent Go will be available until the New Year. Portable HDDs will come in 500GB, 320GB, and 250GB capacities with prices ranging between $119.99 and $119.99.

HFI-15G Headphones: Better form but poorer audio quality

You can say that the new HFI-15G headphones could just be another addition to our long list of headphones but this $109 pair allows sound and air to pass through. The headphones are open-back, featureing S-Logic surround sound technique.

The pair comes equipped with a smaller driver as compared to its predecessor, the HFI-580. Though cheaper, initial review by CrunchGear says that quality has decreased.

Roll-up Mouse Pad: Not just another mouse pad, my friend

It’s not often that we see innovative mouse pads being introduced so when one is made available, we give it our full attention. Such in the case of the Roll-up Mouse Pad. It’s not a simple mousepad that saves space because it rolls but it comes with USB ports to charge or play your iPod.

Sweet eh? It comes complete with speakers, a 3.5mm jack aside from the 4-port USB hub. This $22 mousepad may not look good but at least it can do more than just provide your mouse a smooth surface to glide on.

Dynacube3D: Printing technology allows naked-eye to see 3D images

Both the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology and the Dai Nippon Printing recently worked on a printing technology that makes it possible to view 3D images in.

According to a report by CrunchGear, the printing technology allows the naked eye to see high-quality 3D images on a paper.

The Japanese researchers said that the ‘images viewed from different angles are printed separately’, forming the 3D view. Officially called as the Dynacube3D, this new technology converts images up to 80 viewpoints in just one image. Fine dots using the halftone printing technique is also used.

Production cost of 3D images start at $10,000.

Abarth Powerplay Extreme PC: Gee, I thought it’s a cooking stove…

If I don’t know much about computers, I’d think that the Abarth Powerplay Extreme PC is a cooking stove. Apologies to whoever designed this thing but it just looks like it.

The Antec Skeleton PC case used is something only the nerds might want so forget about seeing this rising to fame in the PC market. We don’t have much information on the specs but it runs an Intel Core i7 CPU processor and comes with a CD burner, and HD DVD/Blu-ray player.
