| Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) Slim parts, torn apart and identified Posted: 26 Aug 2009 01:00 PM PDT The Sony PS3 Slim is scheduled to hit stores on September 1st but according to Engadget, it has already appeared at Best Buy stores in Florida. Be prepared for a nerdgasm as iFixit details a complete disassembly on the PS3 Slim. It’s worth noting that the only parts that take up a huge amount of space are the fan and the Blu-ray optical drive. See also:

| How are USB flash drives made? An inside look at a Kingston production plant Posted: 26 Aug 2009 11:30 AM PDT USB flash drives, almost everyone carries one nowadays, but have you actually thought about the process it undergoes before it ends up at a retailer?
The video below, courtesy of Netbooknews, shows the inner workings of a Kingston automated production plant for USB flash drives. The facility is based in Taiwan. The video, overall, is quite alright but the host seems uninterested about the subject. I never thought the employees still have to manually stick those sticker labels onto the USB flash drives themselves. I would’ve thought that the stickering process was automated.

| Nokia N97 Mini, not too mini after all? Posted: 26 Aug 2009 10:30 AM PDT Shown here is the first official press photo of the Nokia N97 Mini from Be Geek. Looks like it will sport a mocha brown color of some kind. Evidently absent is the directional pad on the left-hand side of the QWERTY keypad. There is also a mild keypad layout makeover along with the addition of directional keys on the right-hand side.
The Nokia N97 Mini is not that much smaller compared to the N97 as can be seen on the photos below. Nothing is official yet, but rumored downgrades/upgrades include the following: smaller mass storage capacity (8GB or 16GB instead of 32GB), smaller screen (3-inch instead of 3.5-inch) and lastly, free internal memory (RAM) would supposedly tally up to 280MB on the N97 Mini as opposed to only 50MB on the N97.

| Up (Limited Edition) with Luxo Jr. Collectible Lamp [Blu-ray] Posted: 26 Aug 2009 05:30 AM PDT This limited edition Blu-ray + DVD release of Pixar’s Up is scheduled to be released on November 10, 2009. It includes the Up combo pack which includes the Blu-ray and DVD version of the film, along with a digital copy. So you’re pretty much covered wherever you bring the disc to.
Interestingly, it will also include a Luxo Jr. Collectible Desk Lamp. But priced at $139.99 on Amazon, it is catered to mostly avid and addict Blu-ray/DVD collectors. You can get the Blu-ray 4-disc combo pack for just $31.99 (which includes both Blu-ray and DVD versions of the film plus a digital copy), so that essentially means that you’re paying close to $110 for the exclusive lamp. Collectors will definitely get pissed just in case Pixar decides to release a standalone Luxo Jr. Collectible Desk Lamp product.
Release date: November 10, 2009 See also:
