Wireless technology changing work and play

[Lockergnome's Mobile Lifestyle] You know, perhaps wireless technology is actually interfering with how we work and play. Then again, maybe we are merely using that statement as an excuse so that we do not have to accept responsibility for our actions.

Su Doku Board Game

[ » Coolest Gadgets] Su Doku is a very solitary past-time, at least with crosswords you can ask for help. “It has 6 letters, begins with G and is a fun waste of funds” whilst you can’t really ask your mates, “It’s a number between 0-9 but not 4 or 8 and if its 7 the next one can’t be 2”³.

printers are snitches

[seedlings] For at least a decade, a vast number of color printers (including models from Hewlett-Packard, Epson, Dell, Canon, and Lexmark) have been printing nearly-invisible yellow tracking dots on every page they print. The dots encode the printer’s serial number, as well as the date and time of printing, allegedly as a protection against counterfeiting:

Front Row on a Mac Mini

[Freyburg.com] It makes far more sense to have your home computer in the computer room and be able to call up shows or whatever via wireless and the remote than it does to have a Mac Mini, small though it is, bricking around in your living room. I'm sure they'll make that an option, but Apple's all about the fruity interior decor, and if you have a flat tv on your wall, you probably don't want the Mini calling attention to itself.
