Today at Boing Boing Gadgets
Today at Boing Boing Gadgets, we found an old copy of Ladybird books' How Computers Work, but we're not sure it's from this universe. British advertising regulators banned a Dyson ad they had already cleared and which they agreed was accurate. Psion finally realized that its "Netbook" trademark is slipping through its fingers. Joel found a flat HDMI cable you can embed in drywall, John spotted a surreal Windows ad from Japan, and Rob beheld Sony's new not-a-netbook -- or maybe the case it comes in. Apple's PC market share slipped due to the netbook revolution, a Fry's exec got collared on embezzlement charges, and artists designed bizarre cars for the future. Don't miss Joel and the BBTV folks' awesome CES preview vid: Tell us how you want us to cover it. Oh, yes. Merry Xmas (Or whatever!)
