Asus All-In-One Touchscreen PC Is Now Available For Pre-Order
Asus has totally confused me on this one, and I’m not so sure why in heaven they insist on attaching their Eee brand to the new all-in-one touchscreen PC, but I guess the company wants to build some reputation to their non-portable computers, and the Eee moniker can definitely assist. Anyways, this touchscreen desktop, which includes a 15.6-inch LCD display, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, a 1.3MP camera, memory card slot, built-in WiFi and 160GB HDD, is up for pre-order on UK website Play.com, priced at £399.99 ($685) and expected to be officially released on November 20th.
Update: checkout the video after the break.

Orange Dance Charge Lets You Dance And Charge At Once
Summer is the festivals season, where thousands of groupies gather around stages, equipped with camping tents and cellphones, dancing all day long, as the music rocks and the beer pours down for 3 days of euphoria. To keep your mobile devices charged, telecoms company Orange has decided to test a new mobile phone dancing charger at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK. This experimental Dance Charger prototype works on kinetic elements, allowing to convert your movements into generated energy in order to charge your attached handset. Designed as an arm strap, the 4.25 x 2.5-inch velcro and elastic band houses weights and magnets that produce an electric charge, once you wave with your hand or shake your body. As mentioned, it was presented at Glastonbury 2 weeks ago, but you might find it in some other places, so if you happen to be in one of those summer festival and need to charge your phone, just hand it to Orange’s Dance Charging Man to see if it works.
