Caption contest: Chinese S.W.A.T. team caught ridin' dirty... on Segways

Filed under:



Look, protecting the world from the terror of Jihadists is serious business -- which is why we're not sure that rolling up on a Segway is the best way to get the Axis of Evil to drop its weapon / bomb / fanatic mindset... still, Jackie Chan will be psyched. Our suggestion? the electric unicycle.



Josh T: "Stop! Step out of the vehicle and agree to be my friend."
Don: "Don't make me lean forward and come over there."
Chris: "Do it... do it now! Get to the human transportah!"
Josh F: "Snake? Snake?! SNAAAAAKE!"
Ryan: "Watch yourself, Frank, we're dealing with professionals. They've got a... car."
Darren: "So, um, is it safe to back away from this vehicle?"
Richard: "Yes, this would be more intimidating from a Humvee, but y'know, gas prices these days..."
Nilay: "Put the Roomba down!"
Thomas: "Quit calling me Ginger, I'm a day walker!"

[Thanks, Mike]

Eee Monitor 圖片現身



Eee 家族的又一名新成員悄悄地現身了。Eee Monitor 如果從名字來看,我們容易就能想像它是台將 Eee Box 做進螢幕裡的機器,但有一項重要的屬性會決定這個產品的使用方式:它到底有沒有 VGA / DVI 訊號輸入。如果沒有的話,Eee Monitor 與其說是台螢幕,不如說它是台 All in One 的 PC,和 iMac 之流有異曲同工之妙。如果有視訊訊號輸入的話,那它的用法可能會比較接近一台備用機器/動物機,在不想開主機或是想省電的時候,有一台簡易的機器可能上上網什麼的。

目前看來 Eee Monitor 似乎是前者,因為從有限的幾張圖中,看不出來它有 VGA 或 DVI 埠的存在。對外的 I/O 算是相當豐富,有 RJ11、RJ45、MIC / Line-in / 喇叭、SD 卡讀卡機、六個 (!) USB,和內建喇叭、Webcam。顏色選擇則有黑、白兩種。有趣的是,正面可以看到「DENON」的字樣,也就是說 Eee Monitor 內建的是 DENON 的喇叭或擴大器?

上市時間不詳,預計售價 500 美元(也就是 1000 美元的意思)。
