Recompute - Sustainable Computer
1 recommendation
"Love this computer! (runs Linux & Windows) Aesthetically pleasing and a conscious product (in a computer, no way!?). Hoping to upgrade my work computer before the end of the year to a Recompute computer! (from the web site) A desktop computer that addresses sustainability during manufacturing, usage and disposal; the full life cycle of an object."
Linksys E2100L Advanced Wireless-N Broadband Router
1 recommendation
"Linksys is notorious for switching up their hardware without changing the name of the product. This means a name that used to indicate a DDWRT or linux-compatible router sometimes later refers to a router that is no longer compatible. I assume a product with "linux" in the name will be less susceptible to this confounding problem."
Nokia N900
1 recommendation
"I'm glad my android phone is not on contract. Compared with the G1, my n800 was faster, offered more app development options, and more stable (until, er, it bricked in a "I have to send it back to the factory" kinda way). Now Nokia has come up with the bright idea of putting a phone in this phone-sized device. I can't wait."
Unreal Tournament 2004
3 recommendations
"One of the most surprising things about my first job out of college was that we had an official, company-wide gaming session on Friday afternoons (it was the CEO's idea!) This is what we played. It's available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The game involves splitting up into teams to capture targets, vehicles, and to dominate the playing field. It's a great way to improve your reflexes and lea..."
ASUS Eee PC 1000
1 recommendation
"How do I love my new eee PC? Let me count the ways: * runs ubuntu linux great (karmic koala): wifi (better range with karmic's 2.6.31 kernel), sleep, accelerated video, audio, power management, webcam, bluetooth * low price * weighs only 2.5 pounds * low power usage means over 4 hours of battery life, a DC converter (power plug) that's about 1/6 the size of the converter for my old 17..."
Yubikey
1 recommendation
"The Yubikey is a one-time password generator with an open API for authenticating against their servers. I think you need to trust Yubico as a middleman, but aside from that, it's a nifty architecture: simple, cheap, multi-platform."
Cray CX1 Supercomputer
1 recommendation
"Cray is famous for selling the world's fastest (and most expensive) supercomputers back in the 80s. The company eventually went bankrupt and the name has been sold several times since then. The Cray CX1 is a "low cost" (e.g. about the price of a nice new car) supercomputer based on Intel Xeon processors. It does run Windows, but the awesome looking case makes up for that, and I imagine you co..."
system76 Wild Dog Performance - Ubuntu Linux Desktop
1 recommendation
"This basic machine is offered with all the options I could ever need in a workstation, at a price much better than Dell. It even comes with Ubuntu Hardy pre-installed."
openmoko - Neo FreeRunner
1 recommendation
"I'm sick of my treo crashing. The OpenMoko platoform is based on linux. I can't type fast enough on the iPhone's on-screen keyboard. The OpenMoko phone supports Bluetooth, so I assume it will accept input from a HID keyboard. I need a wi-fi mp3 player for the bedroom. Perhaps the music player the community is planning to build will work."
Penguin Charm Bead
1 recommendation
"This might not be an 'official' pandora charm, but it fits on the pandora bracelet and would make a great charm for any linux or penguine lover in your life. It's a little bit cuter than Tux, but that's okay. It's the thought that counts right?"
On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One
2 recommendations
"This game has been created by Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade and the super smart people at Hothead Games. It's an episodic (think comic books) game with pulp meets horror meets sci-fi meets rpg. It combines 2D and 3D elements seamlessly and is available for digital download for Mac, Linux and Windows (hopefully some portable consoles as well). The game is a hilarious and unique story line..."
Second Edition Hardy Heron Mens T-shirt
1 recommendation
"I just learned that my chocolate hardy heron t-shirt is from a limited-edition line of just 500. So, after enjoying the appreciative stares of Southern California today (I already got two compliments from real girls!), I plan to place it in a hermetically-sealed, lead-lined, farraday cage pyramid to preserve it forever. But I just may purchase a few of these sand-colored second-edition shirts ..."
Wistron NeWeb's GW4 Linux phone
2 recommendations
"It's a linux phone that seems to have all the functionality of the treo. And they claim it will support Google Android. But it seems a little vaporous."
Unreal Tournament III
3 recommendations
"UT3 is shipping! Unfortunately, the newest PC graphics card I have access to is about two years old. So I'm gonna have to slum it on the PS3. When the linux client comes out, though, I'm probably gonna have to invest a million dollars in the latest and greatest nvidia card. Sigh."
Everex TC2502 Green gPC w/ Via C7-D Processor
2 recommendations
"Computer prices have been dropping for years, but it's still nicely shocking that you can buy a new computer for around $200! The Everex green PC runs linux (gOS is a version of Ubuntu) and comes with 512MB RAM, an 80GB hard drive, and a CD/RW+DVD-ROM combo drive. While it's certainly not as powerful as machines you can get for $500 or more, this is still a great choice for people on a budget,..."
Zonbu Zonbox
1 recommendation
"The Zonbox is a small, silent computer. It's made to according to strict standards that protect your local environment from heavy metals and it uses just a trickle of power. It's intended to be "hassle-free". You just plug it in and use it. They can even take care of backups for you (for a monthly service charge)."

"It's a cheap, little, hackable photo-frame-form-factor device. Seems like it might make a nice alarm clock."
ASUS EEE Ultraportable Notebook
14 recommendations
"An inexpenisve, easy-to-use, ultraportable, shock-proof laptop that costs less than $300. Available this year, the eee (which stands for easy to use, easy to play, easy to learn), is a notebook computer running a version of Linux that is suitable for anyone from children to seniors. It will have WiFi, a flash hard drive, a modem, USB 2.0, Ethernet and it weighs around 2 pounds."
ASUS G2S-A1 NoteBook
1 recommendation
"I'd like to replace my Sager laptop. It is fast, but it has a few usability shortcomings. I've been happy with ASUS motherboards. I wonder if their laptops are any good."
Nokia N800 Internet Tablet PC
3 recommendations
"This successor to Nokia's N770 is not a regular cell phone. lt is a fully-functional palmtop PC. lt has a bleeding edge interface, which appeals to the geek in me more than the palm OS. The handwriting interface is taking some getting used to, but the pop-up thumb keyboard works well. The included headphones (with microphone on the cord) are Nokia-great -- almost as good bass as my etymotic i..."
OpenMoko Neo 1973 Phone
2 recommendations
"It's an open source phone. Here's the inevitable iPhone comparison: The openmoko phone: * has no built-in wi-fi * has built-in GPS * is cheaper * is more expandable (battery, miniSD card) * has a slower CPU * has no camera * is unlocked (you can use any GSM network; not just AT&T) * comes with a stylus that is also a pen, laser pointer, and flashlight"
Turtle Beach - Audio Advantage Micro USB Audio Adapter - TBS-1120
1 recommendation
"My Dell computer has the crappiest headphones jack. Every time I move my mouse around, it sends static through the headphones. Insert this puppy into a USB port, select it as your audio output device, and set the volume LOW, because it has some serious gain. You'll be listening to glitch-free audio in no time. Plugged right in to my ubuntu linux system and worked without a hitch. This i..."

Ubuntu: Linux for human beings
8 recommendations
"The best Linux distribution I have ever used. - Easy to install - Easy to maintain - All modern server and desktop software I need in easy to install packages - Current yet stable (how do they do it?) - Seamless upgrades to newer releases - Brown is my favorite color Remember that "this is going to be love" feeling you had when Red Hat came out? and how quickly you lost it? Ubuntu has ..."
Postfix: The Definitive Guide by Kyle D Dent, Wietse Venema
1 recommendation
"For years I used sendmail and qmail and have friends who used exim, but we're all converts to Postfix (until the next great thing comes along). If you've got to buy a technical reference work, it's got to be O'Reilly."
Lego Mindstorms NXT

"Wow. This. Rocks. I just received mine as a gift and have loved playing with it so far. My son Ian and I built the first robot in about 1/2 an hour. Ian was able to pick up how to program it in their visual language in just a few minutes, even though he has never programmed anything before. He built a robot that drives forwards until it hits something, says "oops, sorry", backs up and spins..."
