Ariens Amp Electric Riding Mower
Well, well, I was wondering when someone would come out with this. It seems Ariens has come out with the Amp electric riding mower. It’s not exactly cost effective, but it runs quieter. Yeah, that price tag is around $3200 upfront with $800 battery replacement costs. You can count on replacing batteries every 3-4 years. Ouch.
MSI X340 Lets Air out of Apple
Now, before I get Apple fans knocking my blog door down, I will qualify that statement. It’s obvious that the Mac Air bests the MSI X340 in a few key ways - one being the screen - but, at it’s price of $900, it is a great option.

Acer Aspire Easystore Server
As I look into my crystal ball, I see many networked storage units coming our way. Part of the problem is that we have so much media that now needs some place to sit. So, instead of storing it on 3 computers in your house, consolidate it with a central media server. The next task would be back up, but that’s for another time. Acer comes along with another entry into this space. Pretty nice and pretty nice price.
Interead’s Cool-er Ebook Reader
It’s seems like market analysts have been predicting forever that ebooks would hit the big time. Of course, things never go as fast as people want them to, and this has been a great example. But the Kindle and the Sony Reader have brought ebooks to the mainstream. In fact, Jeff Bezos recently announced that ebooks are tracking at 35 percent of print sales where available. That’s pretty amazing. Well, a UK company called Interead is launching a cheaper ebook reader, called the Cool-er, as well as an online bookstore.
Forget Media DRM, Worry About Seed DRM
Look, no other issue seems to set off a firestorm faster than DRM media. The cat and mouse game of the RIAA and media dispersion has been interesting, to say the least. And, with the recent ruling about the Pirate Bay purveyors, it seems that DRM litigation and public discourse is just getting started. It’s interesting that the Pirate Bay is a hub for copyright protected material and not providing the material itself. That will have serious reverberations for the folks like Google who offer connection nodes between searchers and copyrighted material. Something new will emerge from all this warring - I’m convinced of it.
But that’s not why I’m writing. I’m actually writing about something very interesting going on in the agricultural industry. What if intellectual property extends to actual seeds?
Sony Walkman X Series Oled Wonder
Apple’s iPod Touch is svelty. But that hasn’t stopped Sony from going full steam to try to unseat the sexy champ. The Walkman X series takes center stage and struts its Oled skillz with Wifi swagger.

Roku Netflix Player Review
Okay, okay, so it also plays Amazon videos. I went the netflix route however. The box is absolutely tiny and is surprisingly functional. If you want a player that is cheap and easy to use, then the Roku Digital Video Player may be for you.
