Ah, yes. Automobile banter. One of the essentials of holiday chatter when more than a few adults have gathered around a fireplace or a TV. Who’s got what, and how its just a tad better than how your’s does that. I imagine a lot of the conversation volume this time around will be governed by [...]
Akihabara’s peeps posted word about Buffalo’s upcoming 32 GB wonder that’s apparently 20% faster than anything else on the commercial market.

While I dig the overall concept of the Ambient Orb, the Chumby appeals to more even more. Here’s why:
* Instant nightstand item candidate. Its small enough, and well-protected enough, to withstand the snooze slap in the mornings and/or the accidental drop from the nightstand when one fumbles for the light switch.
* Its got both an accelerometer and a “squeeze sensor”. Meaning, it’ll know when its dropping and when its being slapped / squeezed. T’was nice of the product designers to think of this.
* Access to the Chumby wireless network is free (after ownership of a Chumby device), much like the Ambient Orb. However, one can add functionality to the Chumby via “widgets” (software applets that work on the Chumby and display their results on-screen). These widgets / channels are available for free. Most of ‘em.
And most important of ‘em all – I don’t have to remember what I set the color purple for, or what a tinge of blue means. LCD screens are so much better.
