The Fuego Element Grill Is Awesome Until It's Swiped Off Your Back Porch [Grilling]

Source: http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/Bp_CJBHQzBo/the-fuego-element-grill-is-awesome-until-its-swiped-off-your-back-porch

I have a cheap hibachi on my porch—who the hell cares about stealing that? The Element grill from Fuego is another story though—this thing is a work of art.

The Element comes in a variety of colors, it has a 24,000 btu dual-burner with different zones for either direct or indirect heating, and it's small enough to fit just about anywhere (like in the arms of a thief in the night). I'm not sure how much one of these beauties will cost, but if you decide to drop some cash on one I would consider chaining it up. [Swipelife via NotCot via DVICE]

With Mitsubishi's LaserVue lines humming along once more, it's time for the company to bust out a few more big announcements in the HDTV space. First up is the new Unisen line, comprised of the 151 Series (40-, 46- and 52-inches), the 153 Series (40-, 46- and 52-inches) and the high-end Diamond 259 Series (46- and 52-inches). Each set in the line comes with a built-in "5.1-channel" 16-speaker audio bar, much like the iSP LT-52149 that we reviewed last fall. Each model also incorporates a new UltraThin Frame design, Smooth 120Hz Film Motion technology, four HDMI 1.3a inputs and a USB media port. The top end crew also includes an iSP calibration microphone, Plush1080p 5G 18-bit digital video processing, a wired IR input and a few swank blue accents to really woo the ladies. The whole family should ship to the United States next month and range from $1,799 to $3,299. Exact pricing is just after the break.

No need for 16 speakers built right into your next HDTV? How's about the ability to watch 3D content whenever it infiltrates the home?

The big screen crew is completely 3D ready and the whole lot features 120Hz dejudder technology, the firm's exclusive 6-color processor, four HDMI 1.3a sockets and a JADE Activity-based user interface. For those badly in need of a new set after suffering through March Madness on that 22-inch CRT, you'll be elated to know that every set mentioned here is shipping now from $1,499 to $4,999, with the full gamut of details waiting just past the break.

Corsair's ultra speedy 256GB SSD sneaks out, hits the bench

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/corsairs-ultra-speedy-256gb-ssd-sneaks-out-hits-the-bench/

My, how fast the cutting edge becomes dull. Nary four months ago, we were introduced to Corsair's first SSD: a 2.5-inch 128GB slab of MLC NAND goodness that promised 90MB/sec read and 70MB/sec write speeds. Needless to say, those numbers weren't about to shatter any records, so the company went out and produced something that just might. The benchmarking fiends over at HotHardware managed to scoop up a 256GB S256 from the company and put it through the first of many tests. As for results? Early reports show average read speeds nailing the 200MB/sec mark, while average write rates hovered just under 170MB/sec. The only issue is the breathtaking $749 price tag (expected, anyway), but at least you've apparently got a few months to save up.
