The only type of person who would use the by is the person who either hates computers or doesn't know how to use them. The device takes in your , then rips CDs into digital form and loads them onto your iPod. No required.
Crunchgear took one for a spin, and thought it worked as advertised but was super noisy doing it. Once your music is transferred from the CD into your iPod, you can also delete tracks by title or category mdash;again, straight from the iLoad without a PC.
Is it worth the $299 price tag?
Only if you're an anti-computer guy who still wants access to an iPod.
If you've been a Giz reader long enough, you'd remember the for PCs. Well, (or whoever made this) has retrofitted it for minis as well.
The case itself is actually more impressive in motion than it is in still shots, extending out its "ears," "legs," arms, and lighting up its arms, all while shouting annoyingly in Japanese. We suppose that's what the character's known for in the universe?
It'd actually be a pretty nice case if it weren't for the annoying animations and all that shouting.
Guess it's only for Gundam fans.

The is a not just another gaming chair that has speakers in the headrest, and it isn't one of those zero g sex hammocks either: it's the "world's first multi-modal-physio-interactive game controller". Yeah, that's right. Bet you didn't see that one coming.
In other words, the Dream Machine is a giant / / / joystick with a chair hanging on for dear life. Vibrating handles hold at least 10 buttons, and you can steer by twisting your hips. I got some hands-on butt-on time with the machine playing an ATV title, and I really enjoyed leaning to control the bike and pressing the peddles for extra control, but was a little taken back that you never actually move the handles.
Look for it late 2007 if Australian Simulation Control Systems gets their act together, at about $1500.
"I'm a bit pretentious and condescending, and refuse to capitalize proper nouns."
"I sometimes poop my pants.

"I've been pooping my pants for years!"
Yeah, those commercials. We put together some of our favorite parodies that we've seen over the past few months.
Hit the jump to laugh a little at the expense of others.
We covered the aluminum and stainless steel case and last year, when it was still in its infancy. Gianluca, the case-modder, has finally completed this thing after more than a year's worth of hard work during which his wife divorced him, his kids died from malnutrition and his boss fired him from using company time to build this case (only two of those things are true).

interviews , you know, the Guy from the . And reading it makes me feel just stupid.
You know he works for the Daily Show, but did you know he's a full fledged NY Times Magazine editor and writer, and was a reporter for NPR's This American Life? , the Guy, is best known for working with Lindsay Lohan in Herbie Fully Loaded, Vince Vaughn in Dodgeball, and his cameo on That 70's Show. Well then.
I guess PC users are really smarter than Mac users. (flame on)
Actually, he's a Mac guy, so I guess its the other way around. (blazing inferno on)
John's Mac-love, as chronicled in an interview in The Phoenix.
