DIY USB Cooking Pan - video powered by Metacafe
It’s really amazing what man can achieve with the humble USB port. This time, somebody with probably a little too much time on his hands has created a USB cooking pan that can fry eggs. Though this certainly won’t be used in restaurants anytime soon as a “green initiative”, it’s still cool to know that we can fry eggs in the office. Enjoy the video.

Asustek will have two Eee PCs under the Ultimate section, and these will be known as the S101 and S91. These high end devices will feature high quality parts (hmm, does that mean the other lower end Eee PCs use sub-standard components?) and boast an extremely slim design (as though they aren’t already slim and light enough in the first place). Don’t expect beauty and performance in a single package to come cheap though - word has it the Ultimate models won’t retail for anything less than the $650 mark, with a very real possibility of surpassing even the $900 barrier for some models.

This nifty hot dog roller will automatically roll the hot dogs for you, without you having to worry about getting one side burnt, though if you do manage to get it burnt, they’ll probably all be (evenly) burnt anyways. Powered by 4 AA batteries, this tool-for-the-lazy will set you back $39.95.

Word has it that Apple might be prepping new Cinema Displays to debut at next year’s Macworld conference in January. These same rumors also reveal that the new range of Cinema Displays won’t rely on cold cathode fluorescent backlights (CCFLs) but lean towards LED backlights instead, showing Apple’s effort to help keep the environment green by getting rid of mercury while the situation remains “technically and economically feasible.” What do you think? If this rumor were to be true, you have less than half a year to start saving up.
