They're rated as being rechargeable up to 1000 times, which is quite a few sessions of whatever it is you're doing with C and D batteries. There's also a new charger for these, and all of the above will be released September 12. Stock up on a few for the inevitable zombie invasion.

But this Lego PC looks nothing like that childhood dream machine, unless you want your kid experimenting with knives and hard alcohol by age 7. Assembled from 1238 total pieces costing roughly $140, the case even features an easily removable side panel (that doesn't require complete deconstruction) for future component upgrades. And since it's Friday and you have nothing more pressing to do at work, here's a time lapse video of the guy building the system in his pajamas:</p> <p><object width="494" height="417"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QfyNzIL5HW0&hl=en&fs=1"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QfyNzIL5HW0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="494" height="417"></object>See?

The model we tested was close to $1800.</p> <p><strong>The Verdict</strong>: On the whole, the X200 has more going for it than against it. We think 12 inches is the sweet spot for a compact but full-fledged notebook, and the X200 is just 0.8 inches at its thinnest point. It's actually smaller than it looks—Lenovo seems to employ reverse optical trickery to make it look bulkier than it is.</p> <p><strong>A few exceptional points</strong>: The keyboard really is fantastic to type on. Battery life is damned impressive too, delivering between five and six hours of standard use (browsing, video watching, music playing) with the brightness turned most of the way up. There's a lot of power and battery management tools too, for the power anal. And it's got the usual Lenovo build quality.</p> <p><strong>The potential dealbreakers</strong>: There's no trackpad—it's just you and the nipple. If you love the nip, ignore this point. Not ignorable, though, is that the screen is way too dim, even on max brightness. On a screen that small, brightness and clarity are paramount. So that's a big ol' suck. The mono speaker is fairly atrocious (and our headphone jack was bad on this unit, so it was a definite sore point). Oh, and it's not pretty.

As I see it, it can be used in two ways. The first, is to trick drunks into getting a breathalyzer by telling them you want to hear them sing. The problem with this method is that if someone is willing to sing into this thing, you already know they're wasted. The other use for this would be to have a singing contest, with extra points being awarded for how drunk you are. I mean, if you can sing well while drunk, you should get props, right?

One person with the company says, "I can't get into details about other folks that are interested in this technology, but as you might imagine of course there is more interest out there." The other company is <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5031272/wii-motionplus-demonstrated-in-3d-jedi-drone-training-is-go">AiLive</a>, which hasn't said anything about licensing their tech to anyone else.</p> <p>What's the upshot to this? One, the non-exclusivity leaves room for Microsoft or Sony to license the same technology and come out with something as good as the MotionPlus accessory. However since Nintendo had two companies collaborate on this, knockoffs might not be <i>exactly</i> the same.

"Not so!" says HTC. They say that his facts do "not match the facts" and you will damn well see their Android phone by the end of 2008, which'll make them first to market with one. Glad that's cleared up! If you believe HTC, anyway (and we really want to).

Piracy was half the reason SCEA's Jack Tretton gave to why the PSP is not living up to its promise as a powerhouse portable console, with the other half being the straight-shooting admission that PSP owners didn't want to pay for ports of PS2 games. So what can you loyal fans do when developers aren't putting out the type of content worth playing? Homebrew, the magical world of quasi-legal third-party PSP software including web apps, radio apps, Super Nintendo/NES emulators and ripped PS1 games. I'm going to show you how to get <i>your</i> PSP to do all this and more.</p> <p>There are dozens of guides online that show you how to get custom firmware onto your PSP in as many different ways. This is the method I found to be the easiest, combining tips from sites like <a href="http://pspslimhacks.com/forum/index.php/topic,215.0.html">PSP Slim Hacks</a> and <a href="http://www.coderetard.com/2008/07/11/how-to-hack-your-psp-to-401-m33-2-the-easy-way/">Code Retard</a>. Note that this is customized for the PSP Slim, which is the only PSP you can go out to stores and buy, but most of these steps will be the same for the older PSP. I started the process with a PSP running 3.71 firmware, but it should much the same on other versions.</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/08/max_power.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2">1) Buy a <a href="http://us.codejunkies.com/Products/PSP-MAX-Power-TOOL-SLIM__EF000513.aspx">PSP MAX Power TOOL SLIM battery</a>. Trust me. Unless you have a friend who already hacked their PSP and has a service mode battery of their own, this is the easiest solution. There are ways of modifying your current battery to enable service mode on your PSP, but the time spent doing that is much better spent doing ANYTHING else. Buy this for $25 and wait for it to come in the mail.</p> <p><i>Update</i>: Reader Wrocky found this $10 version that supposedly does the same thing. <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12472">Buy it here at Dealextreme</a>. We haven't personally tested it, but if it works, it works! The only downside is that it's made for the original PSP so will stick out of your battery case if you have a PSP Slim. Since you'll only be using this once, that's not a big deal.</p> <p>2) Make sure you have at least a 256MB Memory Stick and a USB to miniUSB cable to connect your PSP to your computer running a version of Windows XP. I tried this on Vista but it kept erroring out on various parts of the process.</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/08/psptool1.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" />3) Charge your current (normal) battery as well as the MAX Power to full.</p> <p>4) Download this file <a href="http://dl.qj.net/TOTALNewbi-easyInstaller-PSP-Tools-Utilities-(on-PC)/pg/12/fid/14749/catid/193">here</a>, as linked to from <a href="http://pspslimhacks.com/forum/index.php/topic,659.0.html">this guide here</a>. Extract the file to your desktop (remember, Windows XP machine).</p> <p>5) Connect your PSP to your computer via the USB cable and setting it in "USB mode". Use the <b>standard battery</b> for this. If you have any important files on your memory card, back that up to a folder on your computer first.</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/08/psp2.PNG" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2">6) Run the "START.exe" file from the package you extracted. Follow the instructions there. Once this is done, you'll have what's called a "Magic Memory Card", which is used to replace the standard firmware with a customized one. You'll have to pop your memory card in and out as the program tells you during the process. Follow the instructions until it tells you that you're done, then disconnect your PSP and turn it off.</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/08/psp1.PNG" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" /></p> <p>7) Take out your normal battery, but don't put in your MAX Power battery just yet. Hold the L button (the left shoulder button) while inserting in the MAX Power battery. Make sure it's secure and won't fall out fall out while you're putting the battery cover back on.</p> <p>8) Once the PSP is on (you might have to flip the power toggle) you may see a black screen with white text, or you may see nothing at all—I saw a completely blank screen for some reason. Either way, the power light on your PSP should be green to show that the unit's powered on. To install the firmware, press the X button. You should see the Memory Stick light on the left of your PSP flash with activity. When this is done, the PSP will shut itself off. Congrats! Now you have version 3.71 m33. But you're not done.</p> <p>9) To upgrade this to version 4.01 (the latest hacked release as of this writing), download these files. First, <a href="http://coderetard.com/noose/PSP_401_FW_UPDATE.RAR">the official 4.01 firmware</a>. Then, the <a href="http://www.coderetard.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/401m332.rar">hacked 4.01 m33</a> and also <a href="http://www.coderetard.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/401-m33.rar">4.01 m33-2</a>. That not a typo, by the way: Those file names are actually backwards and m33 is actually m33-2. Keep this in mind.</p> <p>10) Extract all 3 files into their own directories. The <code>401-m332</code> folder (which should actually be the m33 update and not the m33-2 update) should have a folder called <code>UPDATE</code> under it. The Now, place the 401.PBP file (the official 4.01 firmware file) into the <code>401-m33</code> UPDATE. All this is going on on your PC's hard drive, not the PSP.</p> <p>11) Then connect your PSP to your PC again (put the <strong>normal</strong> battery back), enable USB mode and copy the entire UPDATE folder from your PC onto <code>/PSP/GAME/</code> onto your PSP's memory card.</p> <p><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/08/pspupdate1.jpg" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" style="display:block;" />12) On your PSP, exit USB mode, go to the <code>Game</code> and then <code>Memory Stick</code>, and run the PSP Update. Follow the instructions on screen, and you should have a PSP running 4.01 m33.</p> <p>13) Now, connect your PSP to your computer using USB mode, delete the <code>UPDATE</code> folder under <code>/PSP/GAME</code> from your PSP, and copy over the <code>UPDATE</code> folder that belongs to the <code>401m33-2</code> file from your PC onto the PSP. Then go to the Game section and run this update on your PSP. You don't need the official 4.01 firmware in your <code>UPDATE</code> folder for this. Woohoo, you're finished.</p> <p>Are you ready to get some homebrew going? Hit up <a href="http://www.psp-hacks.com/category/7">PSP Hacks</a> for a big list of applications you can run, including web apps, radio apps, Sudoku and even emulators. For obvious reasons, we're not going to link you to actual ROMs to run on an SNES emulator, but you can find those in the usual places you get ROMs. There are several SNES emulators to choose from, but this <a href="http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/537964">SNES emulator</a> runs particularly well on the PSP, lending itself to old school gaming on the go.</p> <p>Although a side effect of homebrew is that you can run pirated PSP games on your PSP, that's being pretty naughty and isn't something we encourage. The fact that a lot of people are doing this is contributing to (according to Sony) the lack of good games for the platform, which hurts everybody. Try not do to this.</p> <p>What you can do is rip your old PS1 games and play THOSE on your PSP without waiting for an official release and having to pay Sony again for something you already own. Another idea when you're going on vacation is to get a 16GB Memory Stick and load all the PSP games <b>you own</b> onto it so you don't have to carry around so many UMDs. In order to rip PS1 games, you'll need a program like <a href="http://www.isobuster.com/">ISOBuster</a> (there are others as well) that can take your disc and create an "image" of it on your hard drive, which is just a file representing the contents of the CD. You then plug those files into a program called PSX eBoot Creator to make it suitable for your PSP. The file and instructions on how to use it can be found <a href="http://www.impaleriso.com/psx_eboot_creator.htm">here</a>. You don't need a separate emulator once you have the eBoot file, but you do need plenty of space on your Memory Stick (1GB is probably only enough to hold a couple small games or one large one).</p> <p><i>Thanks</i>: We wanted to thank all the hard work that the PSP community—which includes PSP Slim Hacks and Code Retard which we got much help installing this from.</p> <p><em>Did you like this How To tutorial?

A special day in history because of many reasons, starting with today's opening of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China. I've been watching the ceremony live all morning here in Sweden, and it has been truly amazing at moments, like when the whole city lighted up with the biggest display of fireworks I've ever seen. And apart from the fact that the date itself looks cool (it could have been perfect <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5034298/reminder-world-ends-tomorrow-have-sex-dont-do-your-homework--update-apocalypse-delayed-to-september-10">for the apocalypse</a>) in the technology world, 8/8/8 is also special for other reasons:</p> <blockquote> <p>1876 - Thomas Edison receives a patent for his mimeograph, a precursor of the photocopier.<br> 1908 - Wilbur Wright makes his first flight at a racecourse at Le Mans, France. It's the Wright Brothers' first public flight and the French public goes wild.<br> 1910 - The US Army installs the first tricycle landing gear on the Army's Wright Flyer.<br> 1929 - The German airship Graf Zeppelin begins a round-the-world flight.<br> 1946 - First flight of the Convair B-36.

After we had <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5020934/hey-commenters-can-we-have-a-talk-">our little talk</a> a month ago it seems like what we went over hasn't really taken hold. The number of off-topic conversations hasn't really decreased and complaints from your fellow commenters are piling up. Instead of running wild with the banhammer, we figured we owed it to you guys to have another talk.</p> <p>Before we go on, if you haven't already read io9's amazing <a href="http://io9.com/5031824/how-to-be-an-opinionated-commenter-on-io9-and-not-get-banned">How to Be an Opinionated Commenter on io9 and Not Get Banned</a> post we suggest you do. We at Gizmodo don't think we need to go over what being a decent commenter is all about. But if you are still unsure of which comments are appropriate please check out that io9 guide, we'll all be happier you did.<br> <strong><br> Please Keep it On-Topic</strong><br> So here's the problem, the comment threads are still becoming too off-topic. We're not gonna point fingers at specific commenters; we just want everyone to understand what affect this has on the Giz community.</p> <p>Let us first say that our comments are usually filled with a wealth of information, and that's why we love 'em. We here at Gizmodo—just like you readers—visit the comments section of every story wanting to learn more from each and every commenter. By engaging in on-topic discussion, the comments can provide an amazing amount of insight for any given story, such as similar products that do something as good or better than what we feature. Sadly, what is happening is that a few off-topic comments will get posted amongst all the on-topic ones and then the whole comment thread derails and turns sour. Our comment threads, which are our communal pool of knowledge, end up completely ruined because of a few horny idiots.</p> <p>So we are asking all you guys again, please don't pee in our pool. It hurts all of us in the end and no one will be happy when the POOL'S CLOSED...<br> <strong><br> New Pre-Banning Feature: Disemvoweling</strong><br> For those of you who continue to ruin it for the rest of us, instead of just banning you on the spot, we now have a new feature which will note your idiotic comments. It's called disemvoweling and what it does is take the comment in question and strip all the lovely vowels out of it. The comment is then left looking like a jumbled mess, and since this disemvoweling can not be reversed it will stay vowelless FOORRREEEVVVERRR! So here's a warning, if you find one of your comments disemovoweling you better straighten up before the banhammer comes knockin'. This also serves as a notification to other commenters as to what type of comments are NOT acceptable.</p> <p>And if commenters keep making off-topic posts even after the disemvoweling, we will have to put them on a <b>temporary time-out</b>.</p> <p>We wish we could take credit for this nifty disemvoweling feature but we can't. We tip our hats to <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/">Boing Boing</a> for this one.</p> <p>If you guys have any questions about the new disemvoweled feature or simply want to apologize for making off-topic comments please send all those messages to <a href="mailto:comments@gizmodo.com">comments@gizmodo.com</a>.</p> <p>Instead of writing a sympathetic conclusion to this post, we thought it would be best to leave you with words from your own Pope John Peeps II.<br> <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5033299/90-visions-of-future-in-ms-paint-are-terrifying-insane#c7064415"><img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/08/popewordstocommenters.jpg" style="display:block;" /></a></p> <br style="clear: both;"/> <img alt="" style="border: 0; height:1px; width:1px;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=9499a1d8ff72ed9fddb53fad66403fca" height="1" width="1"/> <img src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=9499a1d8ff72ed9fddb53fad66403fca" style="display: none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> <p><a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~a/gizmodo/full?a=PE9s8G"><img src="http://feeds.gawker.com/~a/gizmodo/full?i=PE9s8G" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?a=txKSnK"><img src="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?i=txKSnK" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?a=GHQ4QK"><img src="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?i=GHQ4QK" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?a=wbbeNk"><img src="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?i=wbbeNk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?a=gUa0fk"><img src="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?i=gUa0fk" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~4/359537346" height="1" width="1"/><p><div align='right'><a href='http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/359537346/commenters-can-we-have-a-talk-again'>Original Entry</a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/picture-of-the-day?a=HB3i9K"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/picture-of-the-day?i=HB3i9K" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/picture-of-the-day?a=FChBQK"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/picture-of-the-day?i=FChBQK" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/picture-of-the-day?a=ls5LIk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/picture-of-the-day?i=ls5LIk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/picture-of-the-day?a=OWywvK"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/picture-of-the-day?i=OWywvK" border="0"></img></a> </div><p><a href='http://archive.dailypicture.net/console/comments/popup/?f=commenters%5Fcan%5Fwe%5Fhave%5Fa%5Ftalk%5Fagain%5Fcomments'>Leave Comment</a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/picture-of-the-day/~4/359733041" height="1" width="1"/>http://archive.dailypicture.net/commenters_can_we_have_a_talk_again_comments.htmhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/picture-of-the-day/~3/359658416/starzship_photography_1.htmDailyPicture.netFri, 08 Aug 2008 13:17:00 -0500http://archive.dailypicture.net/starzship_photography_1.htm<a href="http://video.google.com/url?docid=1892720804557264550&esrc=rss_searchfeed&ev=v&len=0&q=photography&srcurl=http%3A%2F%2Frevver.com%2Fvideo%2F831773%2Faffiliate%2F89563%2Fstarzship-photography%2F&vidurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2Fvideoplay%3Fdocid%3D1892720804557264550%26q%3Dphotography%26vt%3Dlf&usg=AL29H21O7e2gEyvkubQHjUYnZUx0pxO2hQ"><img src="http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app=vss&contentid=1a444b8b2ea096a6&label=cover_thumb&offsetms=5000&itag=w320&lang=en&sigh=svGQ_zkKbBwBGAch8BRHsdbzBnk" width="320" height="240" border="1" /></a><font size="+1">starZship photography</font><br/><font color="green"><br/>Unknown length - 21 Apr 2008</font><br/><br/>http://www.youtube.com/user/starzship Some photos are scanned from actual photographs; others from digital camera &amp; phone camera.

Now we know that the Ultimate Edition will be released September 30 and contain two discs packed with all sorts of good stuff, including the ability to check out Iron Man's full suit in crazy-explicit detail:</p> <p>On the DVD and BD "Ultimate" versions of the film:<br></p> <blockquote>The sets offer the ultimate IRON MAN experience with extensive explorations of the origins of the character in a six-part featurette, as well as a seven-part in-depth look at the making of the film, a revealing documentary on the stellar visual effects, Robert Downey Jr.’s original screen test, deleted and extended scenes, a photo gallery of concept art and behind-the-scenes images on the set and more.</blockquote> <p>The Blu-ray edition will feature these extra goodies:<br></p> <blockquote>One of the most anticipated releases of the year, the IRON MAN Blu-ray presentation offers even more exclusive content for an incredible entertainment experience including a “Hall of Armor” that allows fans to enter the Stark database to zoom in on any of the three Iron Man suits — or Iron Monger. They can then activate the digital 3-D schematics to check out every weapon and the full high-definition renders let users fly around each suit to explore each of the armors in comprehensive detail. <p>The “Iron Man IQ” is a user-friendly web application that lets users create and share new multiple choice quizzes based on clips from the film. Fans can also download other users’ challenges via BD-Live.</p> </blockquote> <p>Fully-controllable Iron Man porn, at last. Sign us up. It should be noted that there will also be a single-disc, standard DVD release as well, but not on Blu-ray.

They use the same stuff that makes up the sun and stars, and follow the same principles that scientists believe govern black holes. And now, NASA is ready to harness that energy for their own devices. They're planning to test a plasma rocket at the International Space Station.</p> <p>So what, exactly, is a plasma rocket?</p> <blockquote> <p>Rather than heating chemicals and directing the resulting gases through high-temperature metal nozzles, VASIMR uses radio waves to create and speed up free-flying, electrically charged particles known as plasma. The concoction is then herded through nozzles made of magnetic fields, not metals like traditional rocket engines.</p> </blockquote> <p>Designed by a former astronaut who's flown in the shuttle seven times, the plasma rocket will use solar power to produce energy to convert into radio waves. This makes it reusable, and the plan is to have it haul things from low-Earth orbit to low-Lunar orbit, a trip that would take about six months to haul one ton of equipment, and it could be reused six or more times.</p> <p>They hope to launch the engine up to space in 2011 or 2012. And while this engine isn't going to be suitable for transporting people, NASA is already thinking about the next generation of this design: one powered by a nuclear reactor, cutting the trip time down from nine months to 39 days. Awesome.

And, incidentally, to look rather cool indeed. The frame is in two parts, which are welded together: an inner frame with strong triangular truss-structure and an outer frame for a better look. Both split into two, so the bike is easy to manufacture. For now it's made of new plastic, but Matt intends future ones to be made of recycled polypropylene. Apparently it rides well, thanks to that stiff inner body. And it's got a pretty good theft deterrent system: anyone hacksawing it free from a bike lock would have a useless half-bike.

Nope, it's actually a CoreLocation blacklist&mdash;in other words, a list of apps not allowed to access CoreLocation (which would be why it was buried there). So actually, it's <em>protecting</em> your privacy by keeping naughty apps from knowing where you are. Or something like that.

According to him, there are more waiting to get it:</p> <blockquote><p>I am sure a lot more people would like to buy it—but currently can't do so. I have no idea why they [Apple] did it [retire the application] and am not aware of any violation of the rules to sell software on the App Store. The App is a work of Art and included a "secret mantra"—that's all.</p> </blockquote> <p>The fact is that he's right. If there are people wanting to buy a piece of useless software for $999, why not let them do it? After all, people buy even more expensive crap that is completely useless, from paintings to collectibles to other commercial software. The market decides if a product is worth its price tag or not. And at least eight people got this, even if one is claiming that it was an accident. Accident or not, the fact is that Heinrich has pocketed $5,600 and Apple received $2,400 in 24 hours. </p> <p>Not bad for a bad graphic and a silly phrase.
