Filed under: Misc. Gadgets , Wearables Let’s get one thing straight right from the get-go: the e-Volve Gadget Shoulder Holster could definitely be considered the ultimate woman purse too, but that would first require you to actually find a female who would agree to said statement with a straight face. Following in the oh-so-daring footsteps of the nearly legendary Remote Wrangler is this piece: a mishmash that’s half C.O.P.S., half Brenthaven and 100% gnarly

Filed under: Desktops Not one to be outdone by the likes of Dell , Alienware and Gateway , Commodore Gaming is also offering up Core i7 -based gaming rigs. Unlike the big boys, however, Commodore ’s choosing not to expand its current lineup any further; instead, it’s simply offering up the new pieces of silicon as options in the machines it already sells.

For the guy who wants a Vudu system but demands a rack-mountable setup, the Vudu XL2 is here to foot the bill in Armani boots. It’s essentially a Vudu XL in a premium aluminum package, storing a terabyte of content while squeezing within one rack unit of space. The catch is that it’s priced at $1300 and still runs $40 extra for an IR remote attachment

With just a few months before the digital TV conversion renders millions of sets obsolete (well, kind of), a group called the Electronics TakeBack Coalition is trying to shame major companies into some e-waste recycling initiative by giving them report card scores . Of all the companies surveyed, the highest score (B-) went to Sony, which launched the first national takeback program in 2007.
