    Hot In The Hive: PS3 Slim

    Good news, gamer girls. The Sony Playstation 3 has undergone a fabulous makeover. The PS3 Slim, available now for pre-order from various online retailers, is not only slimmer (and thus more space-saving and more portable), but cheaper and greener too, using 34% less power than the original model. I'm not sure if remodeling itself to more closely resemble the Wii will give it equally stellar sales as its skinny competitor cousin, but the lower price will be sure to send gamers to the store who were once thwarted by the intimidating price tag. While the system has reportedly been spotted at select Best Buy stores already (hmm, mysterious), it doesn't officially hit the shelves until September 1st.


    Price: $299.99

    Hot In The Hive: The Sony W Series Walkman

    One would think that being both a jogger and a musicophile is a personality combo made in athlete's heaven, given all the Apple-Nike collabos and music-friendly running accessories, not to mention all the sweet hour-long cardio remixes I've stumbled across on Pandora. But running with your music device is easier said than done, unfortunately, especially if you're jogging out in the fresh air without a treadmill's shelf to perch your player upon. In an effort to keep my hands free, I've even tucked my iPod under the band of my sports bra... which kept it secure, but soaked in sweat by the time my run was over (sorry, TMI). Sure, you could always buy an armband holster specifically for your mp3 gadget, but I'm still always getting my headphone wires snagged and yanked out by bushes and mailboxes I've narrowly had to bypass. Is it just me, or should combining these hobbies be much less complicated?! With the Sony W Series Walkman, it finally is! The 2-gig gizmo combines the music player and the earpieces into a one-part device, so it's literally just a pair of headphones -- no wires to get tangled in or contraption to tuck anywhere but your ears! It functions similarly to the iPod Shuffle, only let's face it -- this is much more convenient for a girl on the go. Plus, even if you're not sold yet on the concept itself, how can you resist its hot pink design?

    Whether your dad is all about the ever-updating gizmos and gadgets of the Internet Age or rather acts like he's been living under a rock for the past decade (or thinks he knows his way around the 'net, but really doesn't have an inkling of a clue), this year's coolest Papa-approved gadgets are sure to appeal to both techie and caveman dads alike! From a Laptop Essentials kit for the working dad on the go to a portable electric shaver that doesn't even require electricity (what?!), there's a whole array of nifty newfangled products that don't necessarily need a word-for-word analysis of the manual in order to operate, if he even so much as glances at it at all! Even if your pops swears by the simpler times from back when he was your age, he won't be able to resist the handiness of this digital measuring tape gadget that memorizes your measurements for you! After all, he can't deny that his own memory could use a little assistance these days! Check out the slideshow for more of the season's coolest gadget gifts for Dad, just in time for Father's Day!

    Banish Those Clunky Laptops And Get A Stylish Netbook!

    Whenever I needed to buy a new computer, the bells and whistles of new technology were ringing and of course, I got all the latest and greatest I could afford. I can now admit that no, I actually didn't need that upgraded processor or fancy video editing programs I don't even know how to use! Let's be honest, many everyday computer users just go online to check their email, blogs, shop online, and perhaps some light office work. If that sounds like you and you're in the market for a new laptop, why don't you look into netbooks? Netbooks are one of the latest technology crazes, the main appeal being their low prices, ultra portability, small screens, and under 3 lb weight. Imagine putting one of these netbooks into your small or medium-sized daytime bag! The small size doesn't mean you have to compromise on quality. Take a look at the brand new Dell Inspiron Mini 10, which comes in 6 different colors to match any mood or style! And who could forget the Vivienne Tam edition of the HP Mini from last year's Spring 2009 runway show. These machines are still powerful enough to do many of those things you say you want to do, but I won't tell if you're just reading your email and checking Stylehive!

    Sony's Live Mannequins Descend On New York Fashion Week, Tiny ...

    After Vivienne Tam's models carried mini special edition HP laptops as clutches during her Spring/Summer show at New York Fashion Week in September, we had a feeling we hadn't seen the last of the fashionably marketed tech toys- and we were right! As the countdown to the Fall/Winter shows begins, Sony is sending models to various New York City settings, toting the new VAIO Lifestyle PCs while showing off the latest from Elise Overland, Threeasfour, Libertine, and Katy Rodriguez. So if you happen to be window shopping in Midtown today and spot a group of impeccably dressed women acting strangely robotic with laptops in hand, go ahead and stare- it's like one of those artsy television commercials, except live and kind of awkward. You can even track the models on Sony's web site and watch video footage of them at each location. Strange? Yes, but this is NYC, and Fashion Week no less, and strange is to be expected.
