Our National Debt Has Outgrown The 'National Debt Clock' In NYC [Money Meltdown] (6)
on
Consumerist (1631) permalink
Now that we've hit double-digit trillions, the "National Debt" clock that's been running constantly since 1989 in New York City's midtown can no longer properly display the total. Brian Williams says they've had to temporarily adjust the display while they build a new one, slated to go up next year. We're not sure anyone should be spending money on a fancy new hi-tech clock right now—maybe they should just hang a big chalk board, and ...- Josi said: i don't know if this is funny or sad

onWindows/Mac/Linux: Free application RTM Notifier periodically checks in with popular to-do list web site Remember the Milk and displays notifications for time-sensitive tasks.

Filed under: GPS, Laptops Word is that Dell's Mini 9 is a modder's paradise, rife with precious little alcoves in which to squeeze teeny-tiny new stuff. The confirmation: MyDellMini forum user Tom Beauchamp bought a USB GPS receiver (not much larger than a quarter) and snugly fit it inside his Mini's case. He's provided images and instructions so you, too, can illegally navigate with your notebook computer in the passenger's seat of your car.

Nintendo Announces DSi (162)
onFiled under: Gaming As expected, Nintendo has announced the new DSi at its Fall presentation in Japan. The device features a dual touchscreen layout almost identical to the DS Lite, though the company is calling it a "third platform," which means it's complementing the existing system, not necessarily replacing it. Looks-wise there's not much different happening, but it's some 12 percent thinner -- partly because it omits the GBA cartridge slot.
