Hard drives have become so generic and commoditized, manufacturers are always trying to draw attention to their products in new ways. WD’s My Book desktop drives now get an ebook-like screen, while the portable My Passport Elite gets a dock.

Magazines are going down the crapper as a medium, but the crew at Alexx Henry photography envisions a world where OLED and eInk screens put motion into mags and makes them cutting-edge.
Unfortunately the truth is that if it costs 10x as much to film the cover with a complete crew this concept is going to die before it ever lives. It’s not answering a consumer need to add motion to magazines, it’s adding any value, only puffing up the eggos of the creative directors in the last days of the magazines.
Great content will live on, but the formats and the way people use them will change dramatically over the next 15 years. I just don’t see motion as being the answer to any question consumers really have.

The 311 scored a 1,917 on the PCMark 05 test, almost 500 points above the average netbook, and put up a scorching 1,386 in the 3DMark06 test — 1,200 points over the netbook average, and basically the same score as a MacBook Air.
That’s not too surprising, seeing as ION is just a netbook-oriented variant of the GeForce 9400M, but it’s still rather impressive — and combined with 1080p video playback, the potential for some light gaming, and (eventually) ION-accelerated Flash, we’d say the Mini 311 is looking like a real contender.
Hey, what’s this attractive looking dude? Well, from the looks of it, it’s Gateway’s not-yet-announced or previously spied tablet PC. A tipster with access to a seemingly infinite number of photos of this bad boy also shot over a spec sheet of the purported EC18T, and here’s what we’re looking at. This 11.6-incher is going to boast an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM, a Mobile Intel GS45 Express graphics chipset, and it’ll run either Windows 7 Home Premium or Basic
