Gigabyte Launches Featherweight Category-Challenging Notebook
Gigabyte introduced its new X11 notebook computer on Thursday, calling it the lightest notebook on Earth. Weighing in at just 975g (2.13 lbs.) and having the thickness of just 0.3cm (0.12 in.), the computer is certainly sleek. But does this weight game really even matter?
You Know You’re a Geek When you Have a Yoda Doormat
Show the world that you’re a geek. Or at least the people that come to your front door… Damn Good Doormats are made of natural coconut husk fibers and are hand painted by one person in Baltimore, Maryland. These mats offer the same shoe cleaning properties of non-geeky doormats, but are way more fun. There are many styles [...]

Astro Gaming's A50 wireless headset: the A40 and Mixamp 5.8 become one for $300
Turtle Beach may have acquired the MLG-endorsement crown that Astro Gaming used to solely hold for its headsets, but it's no matter as Astro has something else up its sleeve: the A50 wireless headset. Announced here at E3, the A50 is essentially the result of embedding the Mixamp 5.8's wireless chops into its flagship A40, finally sparing users of any pesky wiring and external beltpacks. Naturally, the stereo headset is compatible with Xbox 360, PS3 and computers, and it features Dolby virtual 7.1 surround sound -- not to mention Astro's signature game and voice chat mixing control (built into the earcup) so you can dial your game audio in the way you want. The A50 sports an internal battery that recharges over USB and a stand is included for storage that also houses its Mixamp 5.8 TX-esque wireless transmitter. That transmitter can also send sound to multiple A50s, although there is currently no word on exactly how many. Notably, the headset uses Kleer lossless audio technology and you'll have a choice between three EQ presets to shape overall voicing of the sound -- both firsts for Astro. The A50 is slated to hit shelves soon priced at $300, and we'll be sure to bring you our impressions as once we check it out here on the show floor. For now, you'll find a closeup of the headset itself after the break.

Amazon rolls out software update for $79 Kindle, promises improved legibility
Amazon has a bit of good news today for those that have opted for its least expensive e-reader. The company has just begun rolling out a software update (version 4.1.0) that brings with it a new reading font that's said to be "higher contrast and crisper" for an even more "paper-like reading experience." Other additions include expanded parental controls that let you restrict access to the web browser, archived items, and the Kindle Store, as well as support for the more complex layouts and formats offered by Kindle Format 8 books, improved table and image viewing, and support for children's books with Kindle Text Pop-Up and comic books with Kindle Panel View -- the latter of which lets you view comics panel by panel (when such books are available in the "next few weeks," that is). Hit the source link below for all the details and a direct download link.

Nike allies with Xbox 360 for Nike+ Kinect Training: real-time feedback, training reminders through your phone
Nike took to Microsoft's stage at E3 to announce a new fitness feature for your Kinect, Nike+ Kinect Training. We're told it'll make us "athlete-fit", with constant feedback on technique and every four weeks, it'll even re-assess your progress. The setup will also nag remind you through Windows Phone of incoming training sessions -- though there's no specifics on whether the fitness setup will play nice with other mobile platforms. The companion phone app will also allow you to compare and share progress with friends also using the training program.
Follow our liveblog of Microsoft's E3 keynote right here!
