STAR WARS Alienware PCs: 4/25/05 Alienware now lay claim to the first officially licensed Star Wars PCs in the
galaxy. These lavishly airbrushed Star Wars Systems are available from Alienware just
in time for the release of Episode III. They come in either Dark Side or Light
Side Case Designs, and have exclusive Star Wars Content pre-installed. First reported by crave.cnet.co.uk.
The Light Side edition is preinstalled with Jedi wallpaper and desktop skin, while the Dark Side version is decked out in an exclusive Imperial wallpaper and desktop skin.
Both the dark and light sides of the force are apparently running AMD Athlon™ 64 FX-55 Processors this season. They also both use Microsoft Windows. Shouldn't the Light Side edition run Mac OS? Or Linux at the very least?
A teaser page with pictures is currently up on the Alienware UK site. I'm not sure if they will offer the Star Wars systems in the USA.

Developer working on WiFi-detector ring!
WiFi-detector ring: Many peripheral company has come up with a handheld WiFi detector over the past year but, this one is cool.
The Wi-Fi detection ring was developed to give mobile computer users the ability to detect 802.11b/g signals, while providing a unique, fashionable and ultra-portable product package.
The prototype circuit collects and rectifies an RF signal in the 2.4GHz range, whereafter an Atmel Tiny microCONTROLLER (oops, original post said 'microPROCESSOR'), detecting the presence of a DC voltage, thusly engages a flashing LED.
Due to the simplicity of the circuit design, the prototype unit does not discriminate between other sources of 2.4GHz RF, eg. "leaky" microwave ovens, cordless phones, etc. Future production units would feature surface-mounted components to decrease the detector profile and microcontrollers that discriminate between other RF sources, as well as indicate whether the Wi-Fi nodes are open/closed/encrypted, etc.
Looking at the prototype image, yes, it does look like a dogs breakfast. However, future iterations will have a bit more care put into the physical design and layout. The 3D concept and mockup images demonstrate the future direction of the product design.
The maximum detection range appeared to be roughly 40 feet (line of sight), which is not exactly great, but this can likely be blamed on the antenna and the lack of a sensitive tunnel diode, which a future improved version will both utilize. More here!
