Proporta’s Echo: Look your hottest best with your iPhone

March 19th, 2008 by AkSh

resizeimageThose who own the iPhone are usually ones who beleive in looking good all the time. Well, that’s a pretty generalised assumption I guess, but I am sure those who love the phone so much, have a lot more reasons than it being feature-rich, to actually own one. So, in yet another attempt to accesorize the most popular phone, Proporta’s Echo might seem like just any other thing, except that this one would help you keep your makeup mirror at home, and still keep looking picture perfect.

Coolest Mac Mod: The Mac Mini Pro

March 16th, 2008 by jas

Mac-Pro-Mini-1
It’s a Mac Mini…. it’s a Mac Pro! No, it’s a Mac Mini Pro! Looks like Hideo Takano can’t get enough of Steve Job’s Apple. He modified the Mac Mini into a Mac Pro to come up with the Mac Mini Pro. Brilliant!

The Mac Mini Pro measures 7.8″ tall and 3.28″ wide by 6.5″. This Mac mod boasts of a single USB port plus a power button aside from the Mac Mini hardware. A sliding enclosure keeps the hard drive from being seen. And if coming up with this mod is not enough, dear Mr. Takano even wrote down a do-it-yourself guide. Thing is, the tutorial is in Japanese so good luck with having your own Mac Mini Pro.
