Keeping an eye on stylish
gear and technology.

Want a custom, covert-operations style MacBook? Try the Stealth MacBook Pro from Colorware; a regular 15" MacBook Pro (3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB solid-state drive, 8X superdrive) but with a soft, smooth-textured, zero-gloss black finish protecting your computer from both fingerprints and scratches. The backlit keyboard now glows in blue too, nice touch.

There’s only 10 of these ninja macbooks available though, so hurry up if you want one!

There’s plenty of mice slash Skype phones out there, but this one claims to be the first one doing it as a classic slider (and it does look like a classic, Nokia cell phone, doesn’t it?). Just slide that thing open for access to its keypad panel, internal speaker and condenser microphone – when closed you can check the caller-ID of who’s calling on the built-in 128×64 LCD display.

Elecom’s 4-port USB 2.0 hub U2H-TC410B (god, who comes up with these product names anyway?) is shaped like an ordinary wall socket. It sports a magnets in the back for easy mounting on metal surfaces, but there’s hooks for regular screws as well.

The Touch Book by Always Innovating might look like a regular netbook at first glance but with features like a 95%-sized keybard along with a fully detachable 8.9" touch display that can be used as a tablet it might just be a bit more interesting to some people.

It’s powered by an OMAP3530 ARM chip and sports 256MB RAM + 256MB NAND memory along with a 8GB SD card for storage (no hard drive on this one). Besides that you get wi-fi, bluetooth, three USB-ports and a 3D accelerometer.

The Touch Book is said to start shipping next month to a price of $300 for the tablet section, $400 if you want the keyboard too.

This is “No Future Companion”; a fully poseable all-metal collectible toy created by KAWS / Hayime Sorayama. It took them three years(!) to design it (together with Medicom) and there’s only 500 made, so yeah, they’re sold out. Let’s hope they make more of ‘em!

Update: There’s quite a few eBay auctions going on now, hurry over there if you want to grab one. Watch out for cheap fakes though.

BodyTrace realized that people need a carrot to lose weight, and a pretty good carrot is the shame of showing that you actually regained the weight you lost online. In comes the eScale, a surprisingly stylish scale connected to the internet, posting your progress (or failure, let’s be realistic) online. The scale costs $119 (including a 3 month subscription of the online service) and then $19.99 per quarter.

So, besides looking at fancy graphs and what-not you get to form groups with friends and family to follow and the website makes suggestions for eating and working out.
