Baby Aston!!!!!1

omg omg omg an Aston Martin that I might actually be able to afford!
Cygnet is a weird name for a car tho.. sounds like a baby Aston magget larva... O-o
original Autoblog article

While the Aston Martin face is well suited to the extended nose of a DBS or Rapide, we think it looks more than a bit overwrought on the front of the tiny Toyota. On the inside, virtually all of the available surfaces have been covered in red and black premium leather. For the time being, the Cygnet is a concept only, but Aston says it hopes to have it in production in 2010 for European and UK customers. There's no word yet on price...

Spiral updated

so apparently the spiral could be explained by a failed missile.

the Good joojoo

unless you've been living under the tech news rock for the past few days, you've already heard about thejoojoo formerly the "CrunchPad"


JooJoo Hands On Demo from Gizmodo on Vimeo.

Well its finally here and most people say they're underwhelmed. But I'm actually looking forward to this device since its priced very reasonabily. At a bit higher than netbooks and e-readers, you get a 12 inch capacitive screen which nobody else has. Most if not all tablet netbooks are resistive touch screens.
Keep in mind that e-Readers are about $400 for a nice Sony one so $499 for this joojoo is not bad at all!
So far there's no clear specs and it sounds like its running an Atom 1.6 like all the other netbooks out there.

I saw this in urban dictionary and thought it was pretty funny.

I'm trying to make a list of reasons NOT to pre-order one...
