Does Your MacBook Air Need More Air?

Apple's Macbook Air has at least one important problem to solve, and that is overheating. This problem has been reported and I would assume Apple would solve it by the time they launch the next version. Just in case your Air needs more air in order for you to keep doing what you're doing without any time off for cooling, here's an external cooler, the Zephyr from Moshi. It might be the world's slimmest cooler designed for the world's slimmest laptop.

This cooler is made of an aluminum cast and takes the necessary power from your Apple Air through an USB port. The ultra silent fan conducts heat from the main components through the compressive thermal interface compound. Temperature decreases up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit and also the noise of a MacBook Air is reduced by removing load of the internal fan.

Seagate Momentus 7200.3 320GB Hard Drive Now Available with Dell and Alienware Laptops

Seagate’s new Momentus 7200.3 hard drive, the first 7,200-rpm, 320GB hard drive for notebooks, are now shipping in select Dell XPS laptops and will also be available in Alienware laptops. I guess this officially marks the entry of the high capacity, high-performance 320GB hard drives - which only means you now have more data to lose if the drive goes bust!

Anyway, jokes apart, the Momentus 7200.3 comes in a 2.5 inch form factor featuring SATA 3.0 Gbit/second interface as well as a 16MB cache that enhances performance. The drive also features G-Force Protection, where a free-fall sensor detects any changes in acceleration equalling the force of gravity, and quickly parking the head off the disk to prevent major damage in a free fall (even as low as 8 inches!).

MikeMingLaptops.com from MikeMingLaptops.com from Dell

Dell has finally registered MikeMingLaptops.com. Why finally? They have launched their new Inspiron customized laptops a while ago, but failed to registered a domain for it.

While I understand why Dell is trying to offer personalized notebook skins to their customers, I can’t understand why the need of a customized site which will lead to Dell’s home site. Are they going to get 40 more skin models from 20 artists and register a domain for each one?

They are lucky no one thought of registering MikeMingLaptops.com. But then again, who would have? It’s not going to be that famous is it? It’s long and it doesn’t seem official, so why bother registering a domain few will remember. I can bet that most people looking for a customized Dell laptop are going to go to their site first and then redirect to MikeMing.

If Dell was more popular then web opportunists would have tried at least to spam the internet with look alike domains. But nonetheless this delay shows that even a big company like Dell didn’t think of registering a domain prior to launching a new product meant to raise popularity. Maybe next time…
