[See post to watch QuickTime movie]
$1.7 million bucks, and getting on good terms with Hollywood studios, result in this cool new Apple iPhone commercial. It shows 28 actors and actresses from various eras, each saying hello on their phones, following with a glimpse of the iPhone, and ending with a “Coming in June”.
Four more months to go!

Thrown together by well-traveled ODM Inventec, i-mate’s new Momento series of digital picture frames break some important ground. First of all, they do WiFi — a seemingly obvious feature for this category of devices that’s inexplicably missing from a majority of the mainstream models currently in the marketplace. Next up, the Momento is among the very first commercially available devices to support Microsoft’s SideShow concept for secondary displays that should (theoretically, anyway) untether all manner of information from the PCs on which it typically resides. In that respect, the Momento is very much a first-generation device — but as a picture frame, we came into the hands-on expecting a certain level of refinement, now that they’ve had a few years to ripen on the vine. Does the unit deliver on its promise as a highly connected, Vista-compatible accessory? Does it deliver as a plain ol’ frame, for that matter? We took the $200 Momento 70 — the smaller of the two, clocking in at 7 inches of diagonal real estate — for a test drive to get some answers.

Not! Swiss eggheads at the University of Fèdèrale de Lausanne have invented swarming robots that communicate and evolve. When given the choice, for example, between pirated, illegally downloaded music, or those purchased legally through iTunes, five out of six robots choose iTunes. At least that’s what a video demonstrating the research appears to show. In the video, robots choose “food” over “poison,” communicate the preference and evolve. But “food” is represented by the Apple logo, for some reason, and “poison” by the universal symbol of piracy — the skull and crossbones. Sure, the researcher is interesting — but not nearly as funny as their unintentional Apple ad! Also interesting is that in a press photo promoting the research, the Apple logo has been doctored (the bite is removed). Here comes the VIDEO!

Rumor has it that Apple might be coming out with black 24″ (possibly 20″ too) iMacs starting next month. MacScoop has recently obtained this piece of information from an undisclosed source.
Looking at how the company has been putting out black versions of some of its products, such as iPods and MacBooks, it’s no wonder if this little rumor turns out to be real.

Looking for energy-efficient chips? Forget Intel’s Core 2 Duos, AMD’s new Athlon 64 3500+ and 3800+ draw only 45 watts of power (vs. Intel’s 65 watts) and are based on 65nm technology. If all you want is a quiet and energy-saving computer, you shouldn’t be bothered by the chips being single-core.
The chips are available immediately and from vendors such as Alienware, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, Systemax, and Voodoo. The 3500+ will go for US$88, and the 3800+ for US$93.

The Jabra S5010 can dock your cellphone, MP3 player, or in fact, any music-playing gadget that has a 2.5mm/3.5mm/mini USB connector. And its speakers are made by Klipsch, which is one of the most successful speaker company in America.
Good sound, sleek-looking, but just a little pricey at US$149. Available Q1 this year, at retail outlets throughout North America.

A hard drive USB enclosure that looks like a hard drive. Hmm…recursive humor? A good way to impress linux geeks I guess.
The GW2.5HD-U2 hard drive enclosure will be available next monday on GeekStuff4U.com.

For just $4 and a little work on your part, you can make your MacBook/PowerBook/iBook’s Apple logo stand out amongst a crowd of Apple fanboys.
iColours.ca is selling colored sheets that you can put over the Apple logo to customize it into a variety of colors and designs. The tricky part is the installation, which can be a daunting task and voids your product’s warranty at the same time. But it’s all worth it!
You can also submit your own design, which ups the cost to $9.99 for each insert.
