The BookBook hardback leather case for MacBook may not be the cheapest protective casing you’ll find for your precious MacBook but there is no doubt that its one of the best disguises you’ll see. Just slide open its zipper and you’ll be able to reveal and open up your MacBook. When you’re done, zip it back, and everyone who sees you will just think that you’re carrying some sort of ancient encyclopedia.
Another addition to the MINI family, another delibrate hardly noticeable facelift to MINI’s new 2010 Countryman – that’s what driving a MINI is all about. As you will see, the Countryman has a sporty design, the CUV sits a bit higher off the ground than other Mini models and the company says it’s raised the seating position a smidge. The other big alteration from Mini’s previous models is the addition of all-wheel drive that can send up to 100 percent of the torque to the rear wheels.
Concerned that the inclusion of superheroes might reduce the traditional MK diet of gore, gore and, for you sir, an extra side order of gore? Don’t be. Beheadings and dismemberings are out – after all, who wants to hack Superman’s head off? (Don’t answer that, Lex) But! There’s still plenty of blood spurting from Midways eight Mortal Kombat game. Perhaps the best example of this is the Joker’s fatality, available once you have pounded your foe enough to earn the famous ‘finish him’ prompt.
With filthy clothes, flashy moves and wolfmother blaring whenever it goes, this is like Motorstorm’s even brattier younger brother.

The tricks and slicks, the racing feels chaotic and everything from the sand up to the sky looks super polished.

Before unveiling the new mobile device, Steve Jobs stressed that they were not hiding some sort of netbook. In fact, he mentioned that netbooks were simply just “cheap laptops”.

We’ve seen plenty of humanoid robots here on GadgetLite, but we probably haven’t seen any as unique as this. Programmed by student Marko Wickrath in association with the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany & University of Manitoba, Canada. This robot isn’t just demonstrating a remarkable amount of coordinated and reproducible agility, in fact, the robot hasn’t been given a set piece of instructions on which step it should take next. It’s actually deciding autonomously where to place each hand and foot based on an image of the wall from an external camera and what the robot knows about its own capabilities. It therefore almost “thinks” and knows its limits, weighs out pros and cons before taking any further action.
