At first we considered making sarcastic comments about paying the same for a miniature 7" monitor that you would for a monitor three times the size. Then we took a closer look at the Mimo Mini USB monitor and realized it is powered entirely via USB, no external AC adaptor or video card needed. This miniature display marvel also runs in landscape or portrait mode and also comes in a touchscreen version. Mimo Mini, we think we love you - full specs after the jump.

Amazon is running a special on the "Watchmen" Director's Cut Blu-ray bundled with a digital copy of the film for viewing on PC or otherwise compatible portable player for $20.99. The extended director's cut version of the film includes an additional 24 minutes of action and dialogue including an important scene with Hollis Mason, the first Nite Owl. (For those not into "Watchmen" but into Blu-ray, Amazon is also running a "Buy Two, Get One Free" on non-Watchmen BR discs.)

Pachinko with water? That's what the Nano-Tech Japanese Aqua Dance Game accomplishes with hyper-beading "Adesso WR" technology using a nano-tech agent invented and patented by Nikka Kagaku Co., Ltd. of Japan. On a game-scale we're happy, on a water park scale where you zoom down slides with giant balls of water chasing you we're even happier. Maybe one day, until then...

You're looking for the best GPS money can buy, so long as that money isn't going to break the bank. We've always been pleased with the Garmin nüvi line, especially the widescreen models with built-in Bluetooth and FM. The Garmin nuvi 760 has a 4.3" touch screen color backlit display, Bluetooth for hands-free calling and traffic broadcasts via "silent" FM data channel for intelligent routing based on traffic conditions.

So aside from the super easy to use intuitive interface and excellent performance in the Garmin nuvi line, what do we like best about this particular GPS? Once priced for $399 the nuvi 760 is currently on sale on Amazon for $199 - which is what we paid for a measley nuvi 250W only a year ago!

(Thanks Tim!)

Unless you were asleep all day you're probably aware of the big announcements from Apple at the WWDC 2009. While Steve Jobs was noticeably not present the new iPhone 3GS was announced, as well as a $99 iPhone 3G and a new 13" MacBook.

So what's the big deal about the iPhone 3G S? "Improved performance," better battery life, a better 3MP camera with video capability, voice control, and a compass. Wait...a compass?

R2-KT was originally created by the R2 Builders Club in honor of Katie Johnson, who passed away in 2005 at the age of seven from brain cancer. Katie's sister Allie was inspired by watching "Attack of the Clones" and wished that R2-D2 could watch over her sister while undergoing treatment, the same way that R2 watched over Padmé. As fate would have it Katie's father is the founder of the 501st Legion, a Star Wars cosplay group that performs charity work.
