Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

These look really cool. The BUG stuff is what the Sun SPOT would be if Sun had any sense of design.

Yet another "I'd buy that in a heartbeat" concept product seems to making the rumor rounds. This time, an iMac like docking "jacket" for a MacBook. Now that would be cool, and I would own one for sure.

AppleInsider has the scoop on a recently uncovered 2006 Apple patent filing for said device.

Japanese company Unisantis, founded in 2004 to develop and commercialize a new type of transistor, has announced a 24-month collaborative research agreement with Sinapore's Institute of Microelectronics (IME) to work on the device.

Gizmodo has details on a pretty sweet plug in SATA "stage rack" device. You can plug in SATA drives like "NES cartridges," and they are instantly recognized/avail on Windows and Mac.

If you need to flip between lots of large data sources (an impressive pr0n collection, for example), then this setup might come in handy.

The Chumby will be on sale soon. Because, we don't all already have enough "computers" in the house, what with the server rack in the basement, several laptops laying around, a few desktops in the study, an iPhone (or, sadly in my case, Blackberry) on the hip, the MythTV/AppleTV in the living room, the Roomba, and . . . you get the idea. But hell, if they are affordable (site says they will be under $200USD), I will still buy one in a heartbeat!

More details at BoingBoing.

Let me just say it: We want native third party applications on the iPhone, and we plan to have an SDK in developers’ hands in February.

Of course though, the really cool people have been developing third party iPhone apps all along, using GWT.
